Abstract:
The successive Governments in Bangladesh have been cognizant of the
problems in public administration since 1972 and the macro- level
issues in the administration have been addressed by various committees
from 1972 to the present. Some of the recommendations of the
various committees have been implemented and have brought about
changes in the c iv i l service structure. However, the micro- level
problems in public administration such as internal procedures,
work-methods, logistical support, have received limited attention. identify key constraints affect ing the efficiency of Public
Administration, particula r ly in relation to important key
ministries. This led to the present Public Administration
Efficiency Study (PAES), whose structure and scope of work was
developed by the GOB office ls in consultation with the World. Bank
and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID),
which is the funding agency.
The recommended changes from the study are generally limited to the
existing GOB structure and the rules of business.
