The Administration and Policy Division (APD) is the management and coordination body with a sole role to implement activities of the MSP within the approved Budget and Timeframe to achieve political and development aspirations. As a front operator of corporate services and administrator of the Budget, the APD must ensure that Divisional Workplans or DOPs are updated and aligned to the Ministry Strategic Plan and allocated financial resources. They must ensure of the Ministry’s smooth operation too, that the public services are not hindered from time to time, including services to support operation of line ministries and those delivered by the Island Councils. The APD works closely with other departments within the MCIA and line ministries to address public complaints and ensure compliance to Kiribati laws and policies at both the national and international levels. This means that the APD takes on the burden to ensure that the local communities are served with passion and compassion to enjoy a healthy, resilient, peaceful and prosperous life.
