Development Administration (1950s to 1960s)
Development
Administration (DA)
emerged in 1950s and
1960s.
The focal point of DA
are the THIRD
WORLD countries.
Alfred Sauvy
• Used the Term Third World to
distinguish developing countries
outside the two blocs: the First
World and the Second World.
Fred Riggs and Edward Weidner
• They coined the term Development
Administration to refer to developing
countries which are largely found in
Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
Martin Landau (1970)
• He described Development
Administration as the engineering of
social change.

Warren F. Ilchman
• Third word countries are
concerned with increasing the
capacity of the state to produce
goods and services to meet and
induce changing demands.
George F. Gant (1979)
• He defined Development
Administration as not merely
addressing state functions such as
public service delivery and
enforcement of laws but the
inducement and management of
change to pursue development
aspirations.
Renu Khator (1998)
She argued that DA was built upon several critical
assumptions:
1. Development needs are the most important
needs of developing countries;
2. The development needs of developing and
developed countries are inherently different;
3. Development can be administered;
4. Developmental know-hows are transferable; and
5. The political, social, and cultural context of
development can be easily altered.

Two Foci in Development
Administration
(According to Fred Riggs)
THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ADMINISTRATION
THE ADMINISTRATION
OF DEVELOPMENT
Development Administration in the
Philippine Context
An appropriate framework to examine the State’s experience as:
• It tries to rebuild its institutions within a democratic framework;
• It struggles to new economic, political, and social challenges;
and
• It adapts to the trends and demands of globalization.
Development Administration vis-à-vis “Is
there a Philippine Public Administration?”

"Development administration is not just about improving statistics
or increasing economic growth; it is about improving people's
lives, giving them the opportunity to fulfill their potential, and
ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of progress." -
Helen Clark, Former Administrator of the United Nations
Development Programme.
