The Ministry of Public Service plays a vital role in our country by ensuring that the Public Service is properly managed and stable and that employees are available in sufficient numbers to meet the demands of the Service and any policy initiative or project of the Government.

The Ministry of Public Service was established under constitutional provisions (Article 77). Its mission and vision are:

MISSION: "To maximize productivity in the Public Service by providing efficient, effective and equitable human resource services to Public Officers and the wider community through the formulation and dissemination of policies."

VISION: "A competent, professional, empowered Public Service whose hallmark is:"

Productivity,
Responsiveness
Integrity
Dedication
Efficiency
In delivering timely, first class service with PRIDE

Vision for service delivery: "Partnering to provide optimal customer service beyond expectation."

The quality of decisions in the Ministry governs the success to be achieved. These decisions are about jobs, training requirements, the availability of funds, and the interaction between these elements, for example with respect to jobs, the skills needed as well as the department structure appropriate for their effective discharge, must be determined.
It can be said that the Ministry acts as a broker of interest between the long-term needs of the entire Public Service, Trade Union groups and individual public employees, within the mandate of the political directorate.

The Ministry of Public Service must therefore deal not only with its own direct organizational practice and strengthening, but also with those of all the other departments.
