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.
