Abstract
Political parties and in particular governments often emphasise the range of
policies adopted during a term of office. These represent lofty ideals and contain
impressive missions and goals. However, the administrative requirements to give
effect to these policies are often not discounted. In this article attention is devoted
to the forces demanding the development of policies and the administrative
implications of policies. The possible factors prohibiting the successful
implementation of policies are also alluded to e.g. corruption, inefficiency and
political interference in administration. The article mainly introduces the topic,
it is a topic that requires more intensive research to be able to influence policy
implementation.
