The GDP of the country in 2000/01 came down due to severe drought that occurred in the country. Situation changed in 2003/2004 because the country’s GDP was 6.4 percent higher than the government objective figures of 5.3 percent due mainly to the favorable conditions of the manufacturing sector, as well as the recovery of the agricultural sector. However, economy of the country is still on the decline due to problems of debt repayment, and other medium and long-term problems such as delay of adequate privatization, stagnation of agricultural productivity, sluggish growth of export industry, etc. Major problems in the fields of irrigation and drainage are summarized in the issues of: a) shortage of water resources in accordance with population increase, b) lowering of irrigation efficiencies caused by the deterioration of provided irrigation systems, c) facility damages due to water-logging and salt, water contamination, lowering of ground-water table, flood, and; d) shortages of operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to low recovery of water-charges, etc.

7: GERMANY Dr
7: GERMANY Dr. Elke Löffler, Public Sector Consultant, Birmingham, UK Overviewi The New Public Management approaches pursued in New Zealand and the UK have evoked little interest in the central or federal governments of some major and successful economies, notably Germany and Japan. Public demand for service improvements in Germany was considerably less than in the UK and other New Public Management countries, arguably at least partly because the baseline of public service quality was perceived by citizens as higher. As a result, there was no real perceived need to engage in radical public sector reforms in Germany. Furthermore, the strong legalistic tradition of the German public administration, when taken together with the strong position of trade unions and staff councils and the decentralized structure of the German federalist system, also encouraged gradual reforms, and gradual reforms based on pilots and employee involvement. In Germany, the public management agenda of the early 1990s was dominated by the Unification process and related public sector transformation policies that imposed the structure and principles of West German public administration on the new Laender, the former East Germany. Only later, with the fiscal crisis that resulted from Unification was there some wider interest in New Public Management approaches within the German public sector. There has since been a degree of bottom-up experimentation with certain elements of New Public Management reforms at local levels in Germany. Subsequently the Laender, as well as some Federal agencies, have shown some interest in pursuing managerial reforms. But given the more equal balance between the legislative, judicial and executive branches in the German system as compared to Westminster-system countries, the pursuit of managerial reforms should not have been expected to – and did not in practice – override the prevailing fundamental legal and political processes in the German system.
