Book Description
This book is a modest attempt to reminisce the author's career as a PTD officer. The author have served 46 years as a government servant, 35 years as a PTD officer and 11 years as the Auditor-General of Malaysia. Not many officers have served that long in the service of the nation. The Pegawai Tadbir & Diplomatik Service(PTD) has been hailed as the nation’s premier service, as successor to the Malaysian Home and Foreign Service (MHFS) in 1972. The MHFS was the successor to the Malayan Civil Service (MCS) in 1966, which was set up in 1921 by the British Colonial Administration. The PTD and its precursors, the MCS and the MHFS, have played a pivotal and strategic role in national development since the nation attained its independence in 1957. It has been responsive to the political leadership of the day, always mindful of its political neutrality obligation. Coincidently, the year 2021, the year the author's little book is published, marks the 100th Anniversary of the MCS and the PTD. Unfortunately, not much has been written about the PTD and MCS. To the best of his knowledge, there were four books written about the PTD/MCS, namely ‘At the Forefront of Nation Building’ by Sheens Gurbakhash & Fiona Ghaus; ‘Taking The Road Less Travelled’ by Datuk Dr Shaari Ahmad Jabar; ‘Service Par Excellence’ by Datuk Wan Mansur Abdullah; and ‘Tun Abdullah Ayub’ by Fatini Yaacob and Toh Puan Anna Abdul Ranee.

Book Description
The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) was undertaken to analyse the agricultural and rural sector of Bhutan from a gender mainstreaming perspective in areas where the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) assists in realizing rural women’s rights and potential. The agricultural sector is the major source of income and employment with 49.2 percent of Bhutan’s population dependent on it. 57.8 percent of employed Bhutanese women are making them vital players in the food security and nutrition landscape. However, there still remain gender inequalities and constraints.

For example, artificial intelligence has enabled people to make better decisions hrough the use of Intelligent Decision Support Systems (DSS). Emerging research in DSS demonstrates that decision makers can operate in a more timely manner using real-time data, more accurately due to data mining and 'big data' methods, more strategically by considering a greater number of factors, more precisely and inclusively due to the availability of social networking data, and with a wider media reach with video and audio technology._x000D_ _x000D_This book presents the proceedings of the IFIP TC8/Working Group 8.3 conference held at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France, in June 2014.

Book Description
Bhutan has made impressive gains in social, economic, and political development over the years. Its unique approach in this regard---encapsulated in the philosophy of Gross National Happiness---serves as an anchor for sustained efforts at holistic development. The drive for good governance in the country has been a consistent, and well-supported, development objective of the government; the commendable work of the Royal Audit Authority and the Anti-Corruption Commission is testimony to this commitment. This book, in the main, tells the story of the work of these two organizations.
Alternative Paths to Public Financial Management and Public Sector Reform
Author: Sokbunthoeun SoPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464813167
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Reforming public-sector organizations--their structures, policies, processes and practices--is notoriously difficult, in rich and poor countries alike. Even in the most favorable of circumstances, the scale and complexity of the tasks to be undertaken are enormous, requiring levels of coordination and collaboration that may be without precedent for those involved. Entirely new skills may need to be acquired by tens of thousands of people. Compounding these logistical challenges is the pervasive reality that circumstances often are not favorable to large-scale reform. Whether a country is rich or poor, the choice is not whether, but how, to reform the public sector--how optimal design characteristics, robust political support, and enhanced organizational capability to implement and adapt will be forged over time. This edited volume helps address the “how†? question. It brings together reform experiences in public financial management and the public sector more broadly from eight country cases in East Asia: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, and Vietnam. These countries are at different stages of reform; most of the reform efforts would qualify as successes, while some had mixed outcomes, and others could be considered failures. The focus of each chapter is less on formally demonstrating success (or not) of specific reform, but on documenting how reformers maneuvered within different country contexts to achieve specific outcomes. Despite the great difficulty in reforming the public sector, decision-makers can draw renewed energy and inspiration, learning from those countries, sectors, and subnational spaces where substantive (not merely cosmetic) change has been achieved, and they can identify what pitfalls to avoid.
