Project Description:
PMCG, as part of the consortium led by Tetra Tech ARD, in the USAID-funded program “Good Governance Initiative (GGI)”, assisted the legal drafting team of the Civil Service Bureau of Georgia in the adoption of the Law of Georgia on Remuneration in Public Institutions.
The Government of Georgia identified the need for a comprehensive reform of Georgia’s civil service and elaborated a new Law on Civil Service which was adopted on 27 October 2015. The new law will introduce a number of changes to the spheres of organizational structure, administration and management, including the new ranking system.
Transitional provisions of the new Law on Civil Service demands the Government of Georgia (GoG) to adopt primary and secondary legislation, including the Law of Georgia on Remuneration in Public Institutions.
A Law of Georgia on Remuneration in Public Institutions, which is to be adopted prior to 1 September 2016, will establish a legal framework to address the challenges of deregulation and develop a fair remuneration policy which ensures efficient spending of state funds and also rewards professionalism.
The objective of this assignment is to provide advice and assistance to the legal drafting team of the Civil Service Bureau of Georgia in elaboration and adoption of the Law of Georgia on Remuneration in Public Institutions.
