Development
Administration (DA) is one of the newest branches of Public Administration,
having its inception after the post 2nd world war period when most
of the countries in the world became independent. DA is the mechanism through
which countries achieve socio- economic progress and usher in development. The
essence of DA lies in the capacity to bring about a structural and behavioural
change in administration, to improve the capacity of institutions by embracing
change orientation. Development administration is the means through which
governments bring about a perceptible change in the economy of a country.
