First Published in 1969 the Civil Service in Commonwealth Africa describes the changing role of the civil service in Africa from the colonial era, through the post-independence transition to the contemporary African situation. Mr Adu deals with policy and programme for reforming the machinery of government and the structure of the Civil Service to make them effective executive instruments of policy; he examines the organization of ministries and describes the policy making process. Africanization is seen as an urgently necessary phase in the process of nationalizing the public services and organizing a lasting and effective staff development policy. Mr Adu’s rich experience in public administration covers the final years of British colonial era, the transition period of self-government and the post-independence period. This book is a must read for students of African studies, African government and politics, and public administration.
