6 WOMEN RIGHTS HOMES PEACE ELECTRICITY RECONCILIATION DEMOBILIZATION What is needed? TRANSPORTATION WATER SCHOOLS FOOD ROADS COMMUNICATION Infrastructure WORKERS DISARMAMENT FACILITIES JUSTICE JOBS FINANCES STABILITY CHILDREN RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS LAW & ORDER HOSPITALS SECURITY Public administration is the first and foremost engine of the State that can address all these needs, ensuring peace and security, fostering social reconciliation and promoting socio-economic development. N.B: This can be fulfilled through effective and efficient institutions, working systems and approaches, leadership, values and mindsets, knowledge and social capital, Human resources capacities, etc 6

7 HOW? A TOOL-KIT Three types of tools: Informative tools Process-led tools Thematic tools: - Specific tools - Hands-on tools Target audience: Political leaders, managerial, technical and administrative leaders Policy and decision makers International & national development partners, local population (civil servants, other CSOs) Academics, advisors, experts and professionals N.B: Please note that the importance of a tool-kit stands when the user knows the purpose of it 7

8 Informative Tools Conventions: Paris Declaration Dili Declaration Busan New Deal for engagement in fragile States,... Specialized Institutions, Professional Networks & Experts UN Agencies in Crises Management & PC reconstruction Institutions dealing with governance & reconstruction Public administration portals & professional networks Useful links Case Studies & Conventions Bibliographical References Research Findings Best Practices and Lessons learned Professional contributions Cases: Angola; Bosnia; Burundi; Cambodia; Chad; Democratic Republic of Congo; Guinea- Bissau; Kosovo; Liberia; Mozambique; Rwanda; South Africa; Timor-Leste; Togo, Tool-kits and Online Training Governance and Public Administration UNPAN online training Websites & online tools from various institutions and agencies N.B: Although some references can be considered as sources of information this GTK underscores each information that can be instrumental for PAR purpose either through principles, guidance, inspiration or skills enhancement as informative tool 8

9 Process-led Tools 1) MASTER DIAGRAM It outlines the four pillars and the machinery of the public administration reconstruction process showing the centrality of Leadership and how the four symbiotic planes (SA Vision-GS-I/A) interfere each other 2) DYNAMICS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION RECONSTRUCTION It highlights the interaction between the four pillars of public administration reconstruction: Ownership Partnership Participation Innovation (OPPI) 3) HOLISTIC AND RIGHT TIMING APPROACH It underscores public administration reconstruction as a continuous movement in a holistic manner through the four intertwined symbiotic planes which figure out a compass for decision making and action at right time 4) PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION RECONSTRUCTION AS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS Public administration reconstruction is a continuous process of transformation and is illustrated as a snowball rolling along the four phases of post conflict reconstruction towards the completion of the contemplated Vision 9

11 Thematic Tools Thematic tools are related to the 4 iterative and intertwined symbiotic planes of public administration reconstruction after conflict. They include: Specific Tools and Hands-on Tools Plane 3 Governance Strategy/Road Map Plane 1 D. Situation Analysis Plane 2 Visioning Plane 4 Implementation & Monitoring and Evaluation N.B: Here is the foundation of the Public Administration Reconstruction architecture. All the time there is diagnostic analysis, there is strategizing, the vision is in sight and there is action for implementation monitoring and evaluation. 11

12 Plane 1 Diagnostic Situation Analysis (Themes and Tools) Themes 1) When and how to get started? Tools 2) Who should conduct and lead the diagnostic analysis of the current situation? 3) How to develop a framework for the diagnostic analysis of the situation? 4) How to successfully conduct a diagnostic analysis of the situation? Total: 20 Tools 12

13 Plane 1: A Sample of Tools... Star Profiling Situation Analysis Framework Stakeholders and their roles in Public Administration Reconstruction Process Values and Beliefs Assessment Form Understanding Institutions and their Workforce 13

14 Framework for Star Profiling a Post Conflict Country (Diagnostic Situation Analysis) Organizational & institutional diagnostic analysis Available capacity Capacity gaps Socio- Leadership capacity &Commitment Strategic actions Politico- Economc history Environmental Opportunities Environmental Challenges Environmental diagnostic analysis 14

15 Values and Beliefs Assessment Form Values & Beliefs Perspective Remarks Negative Persp. Positive Persp N.B: The numbers of values and beliefs to be analyzed will depend on each specific situation 15

16 Understanding Institutions and their Workforce: Importance of Alignment Level Visible side Internal side Individual Collective Behaviour Interpersonal Groups skills Relationships Partnerships Organizations Institutions Systems Policies Infrastructure Consciousness Mind Awareness Values Attitudes Culture Myths/Stories Rituals Symbols Norms This tool help for an in-depth analysis of institutions. It commends for a sound alignment of what is visible against what is not seen. Note that this is an illustration. Each situation is unique and requires a thorough analysis. 16

17 Criteria of a Sound Vision Criteria and Specific Features 1. Expression of change comes from and is shared by many people irrespective of their diversity 2. Expression of greatness, hope and optimism 3. Common picture emerging from minds and shared values that is painting the future looking great for all 4. Attraction, motivation and mobilization. A vision statement is the driving force and trigger for hope and optimism 5. Anticipation for action and transformation. 17
