It is remarkable that
despite the “clubby” nature of the civil service, there still remains a
widespread recognition amongst not only analysts, popular leaders, and donors
that there is a need for reform, but also within the services themselves. A
survey conducted by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE)
shows that 93% of respondents within the services share the belief that the
performance of the civil services has deteriorated over the years, with 38%
believing that the extent of deterioration is “extreme.” This illustrates that
an overhaul reformation of the services is required, and that there is likely,
in theory, support for such a reform. Additionally, it worryingly points out
that, even as there is a need for reform for the service as it stands, there is
also a downward trend in its workings.
