Strategic Framework to Enhance Public Service Transformation

Table of Contents
Title
Purpose & Mission
- Mission: “To transform the Public Service into a high-performing, client‑centric organisation that leverages technology, innovation, and a skilled workforce to ensure good governance, exceptional service delivery, and sustainable development.”
- Purpose: Provide updated guidance reflecting current progress and charting clear paths forward; clarify the roles individuals at every level play in achieving transformation.
Title
Strategic Alignment
- The framework is closely integrated with existing national development plans, ensuring cohesive and collaborative transformation.
- It strengthens linkages with:
- National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP)
- Governance Reform Transition Plan (GRTP)
Title
Core Focus Areas
The Framework emphasizes four priority domains essential to holistic transformation:
Priority Area | Highlights |
---|---|
Good Governance | Transparency, accountability, compliance and integrity across all levels. |
Digital Transformation | E‑government services, automation, data‑driven decision‑making, and cybersecurity. |
Human Resources / Public Administration | Workforce planning, merit‑based progression, diversity, and staff wellbeing. |
Customer Service Improvement | “One‑Stop‑Shop” service model, customer service standards, and systematic feedback loops. |
Title
Roles & Responsibilities Across Levels
The framework delineates clear responsibilities for transformation across organizational tiers—from Cabinet to Public Officers—ensuring cohesive ownership and action:
- Cabinet: Set national direction, allocate resources, approve governance reforms.
- Ministries: Develop policies, enforce internal compliance and ethics.
- Departments: Implement protocols, track performance, report issues.
- Public Officers: Uphold ethics, participate in relevant trainings, act with integrity.
Title
Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)
A robust Monitoring & Evaluation Framework underpins the Strategy:
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) tailored to each priority area ensure progress is measurable and actionable.
- Regular reviews allow for adaptation, improving transparency and accountability.
Title
Illustrative Highlights & Initiatives
Recent achievements demonstrating progress include:
- Capacity Building: Establishment of the Virgin Islands Public Service Learning Institute, with mandatory trained hours for civil servants.
- Customer Service Training: ~80 officers completed training in customer relations and service excellence.
A quote from the Public Service Transformation Manager, Mrs. Kishann Cupid‑Braithwaite, captures the ethos of the effort:
“The Public Service has worked extremely hard over the last few years to become an organisation that delivers World‑Class service. The new Strategic Framework establishes updated guidance on where we are today and how we intend to reach our collective goals.”
