Hon. Baboucarr Bouy delivered this statement on Monday November 11, 2024 during the official opening of a two-day final validation workshop for the HRMIS underway at National Nutrition Agency (NaNA), along Bertil Harding highway.
The objective of the workshop is to review and validate the HRMIS strategy and associated documents to ensure that they are suitable to guide the implementation and sustainability of the digital management information system.
Minister Bouy also explained that the government, with support from World Bank, is preparing a Public Administrative and Modernisation Project (PAMP), which aims to provide fiscal and Human Resource (HR) management capacity for improved system delivery.
The successful implementation of the project he added, is expected to lead to efficient automated HR processes and comprehensive, reliable digital HR data through an integrated HRMIS.
He therefore noted that for the first time, the government will be in a position to collect and manage HR data more efficiently, plan for HR needs in a comprehensive way, monitor and control its wage bills and effectively utilise existing skills in the Public Service.
“When HRMIS is fully implemented, it will allow for the digitalisation of HR records, easy retrieval of HR information, the proper planning of HR needs in the public sector and full payroll automation,” Minister Bouy said.
He hailed World Bank for financing the development of the HRMIS strategy while expressing his appreciation to CPCU under MoFEA for managing the fiduciary aspect of the project and staff of his ministry for coordinating the development of the strategy.
The permanent secretary at Personnel Management Office (PMO), Lamin F. Jawara highlighted some benefits of the HRMIS.
