The project is expected to ensure a more rational, transparent and cost-efficient decision-making process for the country's civil service system. The project has three phases spread out over 16 months. ADB Senior Financial Management Specialist Emma Yang said that the CSC project would rely heavily on ICT as tools for public administration reforms and to improve public service delivery.
