Administration for development

Abstract

The establishment of effective administrative machinery is basic, not only for the maintenance of a nation-state, but also for rapid socioeconomic development. General administrative capability is needed to sustain planned economic, social and cultural changes.These meeting provided a forum for the study and identification of urgent administrative problems confronting African countries and for the preparation of proposals capable of providing practical solutions which could be applied to these pressing problems, and which could likewise serve as a guide for the administrative activities of the governments concerned.
