Introduce Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
At P1R2, IPPIS was delayed because of the problems with the procurement system.  To address system procurement delays, the authorities have adopted a new management structure, and the IPPIS is now expected to be introduced in the first half of 2007.  Thus, the overall civil service reform program has not been compromised. At P1R3, software installation in the 6 ministries and 6 central agencies of the 1st phase completed in March 2007.  Test payroll processing with the new system commenced in April 2007, and deployment expected soon.
