A study conducted by the group Change Management at the Finance Ministry has identified problems affecting performance at the ministry.

According to the study, outdated organizational structure, overstaffing, absence of clearly defined roles and responsibilities remain the most visible problems.

Among other problems named in the study are ineffective employee evaluation, unnecessary layers of authority and lack of skills.

The Ministry of Finance in collaboration with Change Management Tuesday began a three day forum to adopt a new approach toward improving the Ministry’s internal structures.

The forum is considering Administration, revenue and expenditure policies and the budget process as important issues.

Statistics show the last time the Ministry experienced structural change was in 1972 when the department of Treasury became of Ministry of Finance.

Since then, the organizational structure of the Ministry has not been changed to conform to the changing needs and priorities of the country.
