The LOLF : Control or Freedom ?
This article draws the lessons of twenty years experience with management through
programmes in some OECD countries. Based on the evaluation of these programmes and
the debates surrounding them, the article discusses the reform's various successes and
failures, indeed much the same in all countries. In order not to focus on cultural and
national specificities, reasons for failure and factors of success are described in two
imaginary countries. The lesson that can be drawn is that in France, the LOLF is at a
crossroads between an exclusively budgetary and accounting model based on the close
control of activity and a performance dynamic that truly and lastingly motivates civil
servants as to the social usefulness of their activities. As in all countries, such a reform
needs time, on condition that it be possible to maintain the desire for change, to correct
errors, progress and learn. The great strength of the LOLF is its capacity to bring to the
surface all the important management questions : how to motivate agents ? Should
Parliament be involved ? Are users taken into consideration ? Are we managing growing
social demand on more and more limited means ? What degree of empowerment should
be given to managers and their agents ? How can we change over from a culture of
procedure to one of initiative and conscious and justified risk ? Is it possible to manage
public policy without evaluating it ? If these questions are discussed with civil servants
and not in closed circles, the LOLF can be a catalyst for deep and lasting change, as it
is and has been in most of the OECD countries. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
