ABSTRACT:
This research study examines the harmonization of political and administrative setups for better service delivery in an organization. The study focuses on the Institute of Public Administration and Management at the University of Sierra Leone (IPAM USL) to investigate the process of harmonization within the institution. Through a qualitative research design including interviews, observations, and content analysis, the study seeks to analyze the implementation of the harmonization process and its effects on the performance and service delivery of the institute. Key findings will provide insight into the effectiveness of the harmonization process and important recommendations for further improvement in service delivery through the harmonization of political and administrative set-ups.
