Administration & General Services

The Department of Administration and General Services (DAGS) serves as the central coordinating unit of the Ministry. True to its name, it is charged with the primary responsibility of providing administrative advice and logistical support to all other functional departments. Its core objective is to harmonize the activities of the entire Ministry to ensure that set organizational goals are achieved efficiently and effectively.

In addition to general coordination, the department holds the critical portfolio of financial management. It manages the internal finances of the Ministry itself (with the specific exception of Local Government Finances, which are handled by the Inspection Department). Furthermore, DAGS handles all personnel matters, ensuring the welfare and proper administration of the Ministry’s workforce.

Structure & Capacity

To ensure focused service delivery, the department is sub-divided into three specialized sections: Administration, Account, and Stores. Currently, the department oversees the human resources for the Ministry’s total staff strength of 152 personnel, ensuring that the internal machinery of the Ministry remains robust and operational.

The financial responsibilities of the department are handled specifically by the Account Section. This unit is tasked with managing the internal funds and operational expenditures of the Ministry headquarters itself. It is important to note that while this department manages Ministry funds, it is distinct from the Local Government Inspection Department, which oversees the external finances of the 44 Local Government Councils.

The Administration and Stores Sections work in tandem to support the Ministry’s workforce. The Administration unit acts as the primary handler of all personnel matters, ensuring that staff records, welfare, and discipline are maintained according to civil service standards. Meanwhile, the Stores unit manages the procurement and distribution of essential office resources, ensuring that the other eight departments have the logistical tools necessary to execute their duties effectively.
