Delegates from 15 English-speaking African states together with special guests and observers attended the seventh in an annual series of public administration seminars. The first had been held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in 1962, with subsequent seminars in Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, the U.A.R., and Ghana, each being sponsored jointly by the host government and the Ford Foundation. Their purpose is two-fold: first, to provide an opportunity for Africa's senior administrators to meet and exchange experiences, and secondly, to enable the participants to discuss common problems and to consider ways and means of improving the administration of the public services.
