Pakistan – Development and Establishment of Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) for SAI Pakistan (2014-17)

The purpose of this proposal is to develop and establish a comprehensive HRMIS for SAI Pakistan (Auditor General of Pakistan), to strengthen the overall quality of the SAI’s audit reports. SAI Pakistan has over 1000 professionally qualified staff and 6000 skilled staff, but no comprehensive management information system to best manage and utilize its staff. The project will involve developing a conceptual framework for the HRMIS, undertaking various survey and data collection, software development, hardware procurement and establishing the necessary logistic support to administer the system. It is foreseen that the HRMIS would be used to produce, store, manage and retrieve HR information, such as job descriptions and job specifications, staff qualifications, and staff performance evaluation documents. A pool of HR experts from SAI Pakistan would be trained in using the system. It would allow senior management to obtain more accurate and up to date information to inform strategic decision making with respect to planning, recruitment, placement, capacity building etc. The overall cost of the project is estimated at USD 733,000, of which 5% would be covered by SAI Pakistan.
