| Abstract: | In part 1 the author emphasises the need for the optimum decentralization in planning and plan implementation and provides examples of provincial frustration and irritation at delays and prevarication at the centre holding up development projects in the field. He sets out the need for better administrative machinery in the Provinces, and the extent to which constructive criticism is forthcoming and acceptable in Zambia argues well for the reforms now under way to facilitate the execution of up-country development plans. In part 2 the author examines the political/administrative system now operating at District level. The reforms that have taken place are the 'transitional approach' method. Post independence changes have been considerable; some of them are enumerated in the conclusion. |
