CENTRE FOR PUBLIC SERVICE PRODUCTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT (CPSPD)
There is an alarming decline in Productivity in Africa's National Economy especially in the Public Sector. This has led to a decline in quality of life in most africa countries. Despite the huge budgetary allocations in most African countries, the undeveloped economy syndrome still persists. There are manufacturing plants that produce below capacity, uncompetitive goods and services, millions of public sector workforce for that are mostly under utilized, unproductive and poorly remunerated.

These has challenged governments is most Africa countries and their various Labour and productivity ministries and parastatals to study, research, promote and institutionalize productivity culture. However the rut has defied solution despite laudable efforts and huge allocations.


To complement the effort of government and International agencies such as International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nation Development Programme.(UNDP), United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Asia Productivity Organization (APO), European Association of National Productivity Centre (EANPC), Pan African Productivity Association (PAPA), etc the Centre for Public Sector Productivity and Development (CPSPD) was registered as a non governmental and non - profit organization as a world class productivity centre in Africa. The first of its kind in Africa.
