    As a student of public administration, you are expected to understand the place of
    public administration among the social sciences and its role in the daily life as a
    citizen, customer, administrator, policy maker, and any another role being played
    by us in the society. To analyze and understand the mechanisms and modus operandi
    we are facing in this modern world.

    The aim is to familiarize students in the discipline of public administration and


    introduce various concepts, growth and related challenges in the different societies
    from different parts of the world. These concepts, principles, and theory with
    practical examples from African society help students to clearly understand the

    interpret the rules, procedures, programs, projects and any type of development
    work in the world. Hence, this foundation course for the students expected to
    achieve better understanding for now and later use them in the specialized courses
    in the undergraduate program for the next three years.
