Abstract: In 2015, the Jonathan administration attempted a review of the monetisation policy in the civil service after over a decade of its continuous implementation in Nigeria. The administration discovered that despite helping government reduce expenditure cost in the civil service, the implementation of the policy has engendered unexpected consequences in the area of productive commitments of public servants. This study examined the effect of the implementation of the monetisation policy on staff productivity in selected Federal Ministries. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. Primary data were collected through the administration of questionnaire and conduct of interviews. The study population comprised 1710 staffs from Ministries of Finance, Communications and Science and Technology. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 342 respondents, representing 20% of the study population. Interview was conducted with eight Directors, two from each Ministry. The data collected were analysed using percentages, mean and content analysis. The result showed that implementation of monetisation policy has not positively affected staff productivity in the Federal Ministries. The respondents disagreed with the effect of monetisation on the following indicators: high quality work outcome (3.95), large amount of work (4.0) and timely submission of reports (3.96). The study concluded that monetisation policy does not have positive effect on staff productivity in the Federal Ministries.

Abstract: Quality of care requires initial training of professionals in line with current health challenges and continuing education in order to remain up-to-date with good health practices. In dentistry, many changes have been observed in recent years in several areas of dentistry practice. The objective of this work was therefore to study the need for and access to training in dental surgery in Nouakchott. A descriptive cross-sectional study based on a direct and self-administered questionnaire was therefore conducted from October 2021 to March 2022 among 81 dentists from the public and private sectors in the Nouakchott region. Information was collected on socio-professional characteristics, initial training and continuing education. The study revealed that 90% of the respondents were men with an average of 13 years of service. Their initial training was mainly in Senegal (27.16%) and Syria (23.46%). The majority of them (67.90%) had not implemented new technologies and 54.32% of the respondents expressed the need for continuous training in ortho-implantation. However, lack of time (39.5%) and funding (45.7%) were important barriers to accessing continuing education. Therefore, the needs expression should be transformed into learning objectives for continuous training. Also, the establishment of a department of dental surgery is a priority to reduce inequalities in access to dental training.
