Organisation

on May 08 in Uncategorized tagged by Admin

The Ministry is organised as follows:

By the recommendation of the PARDIC Committee, each Ministry is expected to establish four (4) functional directorates. These functional directorates are specialised divisions intended to help the Ministry focus sharply on its policy formulation, co-ordination, monitoring and evaluation roles.

These divisions for now have not been created in the Ministry of Youth and Sports due largely to unavailability of human resources and inadequate office accommodation. It is hoped that with the completion of the office annex under construction, there will be sufficient office space to address this predicament. The main functions/activities of the directorates are enumeratein the following sections.

General administration and finance division.

This Division ensures that approved personnel policies in the Ministry on employment, personnel records, ironing and wages and salaries administration are translated into good management practices and effectively carried out. It also safeguards the interest of the Ministry in all financial transactions relating to revenue and expenditure.
