Such capability must allow the State to translate broad objectives into programmes and projects for implementation, which requires –
Proper training at all levels,
Leadership development both at executive and civil service levels,
Re-orientation, engendering new doctrines, culture and practices at all levels, and
Acquiring and retaining skilled personnel. 3<br>
