About Us

The Centre for Public Sector Productivity and Development (CeProd) was established to supplement the efforts of government and international organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Asia Productivity Organization (APO), European Association of National Productivity Centres (EANPC), Pan African Productivity Association (PAPA), and others. It is Africa's first of its kind.
Productivity in Africa's national economy is declining alarmingly, particularly in the public sector. Most African countries' quality of life has suffered as a result. Despite massive budgetary allocations in the majority of African countries, the undeveloped economy syndrome persists. Manufacturing plants that produce below capacity, uncompetitive goods and services, and millions of public sector workers who are mostly underutilized, unproductive, and underpaid.
Most African governments, as well as their various labor and productivity ministries and parastatals, have been challenged to study, research, promote, and institutionalize a productivity culture. Despite commendable efforts and large allocations, the rut has defied solutions.
The importance of productivity to all sectors of the African economy necessitates concerted efforts and measures to reverse third-world productivity declines. As a result, CeProd stepped in.

OUR OBJECTIVES

The Centre for Public Sector Productivity and Development (CeProd) is a trailblazing organization in Africa that was established to supplement the efforts of government and international organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Asia Productivity Organization (APO), European Association of National Productivity Centres (EANPC), Pan African Productivity Association (PAPA), and others. CeProd is Africa's first of its kind, with a focus on promoting productivity and development in the public sector.

In recent years, productivity in Africa's national economy has declined alarmingly, particularly in the public sector. This has had a significant impact on the quality of life in most African countries. Despite massive budgetary allocations in the majority of African countries, the undeveloped economy syndrome persists. Manufacturing plants produce below capacity, uncompetitive goods and services, and millions of public sector workers are mostly underutilized, unproductive, and underpaid.

The challenge faced by most African governments, as well as their various labor and productivity ministries and parastatals, is to study, research, promote, and institutionalize a productivity culture. Despite commendable efforts and large allocations, the rut has defied solutions.

The importance of productivity to all sectors of the African economy necessitates concerted efforts and measures to reverse third-world productivity declines. As a result, CeProd has stepped in to promote productivity in the public sector through research, capacity building, training, and advocacy.

At CeProd, we are committed to enhancing the productivity of the public sector in Africa through the development of innovative solutions, tools, and techniques. We work with governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders to promote a productivity culture, optimize performance, and improve the quality of life in Africa.

We believe that productivity is the key to sustainable development and economic growth in Africa. Therefore, we are dedicated to promoting productivity in the public and private sectors through our various programs, services, and initiatives.
Join us in our mission to build a more productive Africa.
