In April 1996, the United Nations General Assembly, at its resumed 50th Session, adopted resolution 50/225 on Public Administration and Development. The resolution confirmed the importance of reinforcing public administration for development and emphasised the need for cooperation among United Nations departments and agencies in supporting capacity-building in the broad area of governance, public administration and finance. Specifically, the resolution in paragraph 13, acknowledged that the role of the United Nations was to assist Governments, at their request, and to focus inter alia on strengthening government capacity for policy development, administrative restructuring, civil service reform, human resources development and public administration training. It was against the backdrop of this landmark resolution and a rapidly changing environment for public administration world-wide that the Thirteenth Meeting of Experts on the United Nations Programme in Public Administration and Finance (27 May to 4 June 1997) adopted 're-designing the State for socio-economic development and change' as the overall theme of the Meeting. Within this overall theme, five specific issues were identified as particularly relevant to re-designing the state: a) promoting an enabling environment for sound governance; b) enhancing the professionalism, ethical values and image of the public service; c) re-thinking the State for social development; d) creating an enabling environment for private sector development; e) strengthening governmental capacity in the mobilisation, management and accountability of financial resources.
