Antecedentes

The Ministry of State for Administrative Development aims at conducting a workshop to discuss "The role of Code of Conducts in enhancing integrity in the civil service". The workshop will address the senior and middle managers in the Egyptian government including officials working in the ministry of local development and Central agency for Organization and Administration.

The laws of civil service set out the framework which regulates the conditions of work of civil servants. Such laws may also contain the values of the civil service and the principles to be observed and guide how public authority shall be exercised. The workshop shall discuss how civil services have developed historically and the underlying ideas and principles that they build upon. Examples of how the fundamental questions of civil service have been addressed in various civil service laws will be presented. The workshop will present experiences from two sets of countries: a) Countries where code of conducts are highly integrated in civil service reform and where service delivery satisfaction is high (for citizens and private corporations), the efficiency in performance is high, the rule of law in the public administration is good, impartiality is good, and corruption is relatively under control. Those factors will be used as indicators of that their solutions are effective in those contexts, and; b) Countries in transition where reforms to the civil service law/code of conduct is undergoing but faced with legal and institutional hurdles.

The workshop will be conducted in the light of a project signed between UNDP and the Ministry of State for Administrative Development " Strengthening Transparency and Integrity in the Civil Service –Phase II”
