The Cayman Islands use some of the increasingly familiar methods of resolving administratively the problems of smallness. The country's development and administrative performance depend on human resources which need to be planned in order to reduce dependence on outsiders, especially among the middle ranks of technical and professional staff. The problems of public administration are solved by scaling down the role of government in favour of private enterprise and against the provision of social welfare

The role of the ministerial office was one of the key issues investigated by the Royal Commission on Australian Gvoernment Administration (RCAGA) in 1976. At the time the ministerial office was undergoing new and controversial developments. In the 25 years since the Royal Commission the new ministerial office has become a permanent and accepted part of our machinery of government. This paper reviews RCAGA's analysis of ministerial advisers and uses research on the Keating advisers in 1995–96 to track how the institution of the ministerial office has developed since the time of the Royal Commission.

This study, the role of internally generated revenue in local government administration in Nigeria, was conducted using three out of twenty recognized local government councils in Ogun State, South Western part of Nigeria, as case study. Local government, also referred to as local council, is the third tier of the government which is seen to be closer to the people. They are vested with the responsibility of catering for the economic, social, infrastructural and educational needs of the common populace in areas in which the state governments could not be felt. It is however disheartening to discover that most local governments have failed woefully to meet these needs due to dwindling subventions that are always late in coming from the Federal government, through the supervising state governments. It is only those local governments that are able to generate enough internal revenue that could perform the task of fulfilling their social obligations to the citizenry. The study used both primary and secondary methods of data collection. Econometric technique, through Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression, was used through the aid of E-views Software Statistical package. The findings of the study of the local governments financial statement over six years period, using the above techniques, reveal that miscellaneous sources of revenue such as fines, fees licenses, earnings, rent, interest, dividend payments, grants are statistically significant at 5 per cent level of significance while rate is statistically insignificant, due to inadequate remittances to the treasury by rate collectors. Since rates and taxes, ordinarily constitute a greater percentage of what should be internally generated by local governments, we recommend that the local government councils should intensify efforts towards carrying out aggressive collection of these sources and at the same time block every loopholes that have made the collections to be insignificant

In an effort to improve good governance in local government Hurilaws provides a capacity building manual. Its objectives are to enable local government administrators to appreciate their roles as development agents and to enable them harness the various resources at their disposal to bring about meaningful grassroots development; to help various interest groups and grassroots constituencies (civil society) reach an understanding of issues in local government administration; to assist political actors, community organisations and grassroots people in the context of their dealings with the local government and to help every stakeholder to develop actions plans for the local government in their respective areas.

The paper aims to look at the transferring of authorities, resources and responsibilities from one tier of government (central government) to other tiers of government (state and local governments) in order to deliver efficient and effective welfare service. This transfer serves two basic purposes, namely accountability for resource management and effective welfare service delivery. This can only be possible if the system of co-responsibility between institutions of governance at the central, states and local governments is decentralized effectively. Similarly, the paper intends to critically examine local governments' budget and budgeting system in order to deliver primary education and healthcare service to the public. Therefore, the paper studies the main source of revenue of local governments, and determines how the resources are utilized in providing primary education and healthcare services. The study designs information data sheet to elicit information from at least four local governments in Nigeria. Statutory allocation disbursed to four local governments under consideration for the fiscal year 2008 is considered. Approved annual budget of the local governments is analyzed to determine the differential (%) in terms of what is budgeted and what is the budget outcomes. The findings reveal average differential of 65.78% between approved and actual estimates for primary education, and 37.57% for primary healthcare service in the local government under consideration. This shows that local governments under consideration are not delivering primary education and healthcare services optimally.

Diese Fallstudie untersucht die Wirksamkeit einer von der Verwaltung gelenkten Bürgerbeteiligung an Entwicklungsvorhaben und kommt zu dem Schluß, daß die Erfolge dadurch begrenzt waren, daß örtliche traditionelle Werte und Beziehungen nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt wurden. (DÜI-Wsl)

Human resource management is the mobilisation of available human resource in the organization to achieve the organizational goals. Human resource management activities are not devoid of challenges in any organization, including Local Government Councils in Nigeria; hence, this study identified such challenges as environmental factors and classified it as internal and external environmental factors affecting human resource management in Nigerian Local Governments. These factors were identified on account of the observed irregularities in human resource management policies and practice in the Local Government service. This study therefore aims at examining the environmental factors affecting human resource management in Nigerian local governments between 2010-2018. Data were collected from observations, interviews and documented facts on the subject matter, while system theory was used to explain the interdependence of the various departments and its effects on human resource management in the Councils. The study findings identified poor capacity building and orientation, activities of trade unions, administrative policies and politics, capacity of the Council leadership, among others as internal factors; and political, social, legal, physical, etc., as part of the external environmental factors affecting human resource management in Nigerian Local Governments. The study concluded that the internal and external factors have significant effects on the human resource management and productivity of the Local Governments in Nigeria. This study further made some recommendations on strategies to achieve effective human resource management in Nigerian Local Governments.
