Abstract

Study results show that the education sector is most favoured in terms of human resources that are transferred to the district. This includes untrained teachers. The numbers of doctors and nurses posted to the districts are inadequate. Water technician numbers are also inadequate. The lack of social amenities in rural areas sometimes demotivate personnel who are posted to the districts. The presentation provides analysis of the survey. Capacity building is especially needed in revenue mobilization skills.
