A key challenge remains effective implementation, coordination, and monitoring, particularly strengthening the central government to steer complex reforms.

Priority areas include modernizing human resource management (merit-based policies, career frameworks, remuneration reform, and an interoperable HRMIS), accelerating digital transformation of internal systems and public services, and improving transparency, access to information, and service-quality monitoring.
