Vietnam
Legislated
Strengthening of Elements of the Position-Based Career System in Vietnam has been discussed with criticism about the Law on Public Officials and Civil Servants which include language regarding the evaluation of individual civil servants’ performance but lacks a clear merit base and is not tailored to the specific nature and responsibilities of each position. More thought needs to be given to how the current PM system can be reformed to better meet the needs and tasks of each position. Source: http://wws.princeton.edu/research/pwreports_f08/WWS591b.pdf

Zimbabwe
Plan
The first phase of the Zimbabwean Civil Service Performance Management Programme was introduced in 1992. Phase Two began in 1997/8 with every civil servant involved. Today there is still talk on Performance Management, now in its fourth phase christened Result Based Management, but there is nothing serious except confusing people and diverting their attention from the problems they are experiencing because of the economic turmoil.
