Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung@ 40 in Ghana Fraternity Message from the Public Services Commission(PSC) to the Friedrich- Ebert- Stiftung(FES) on the Occasion of the FES 40th Anniversary in Ghana The Public Services Commission wishes to extend to the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) its heartiest felicitations on the occasion of the commemoration of its forty(40) years of work in Ghana. This historic landmark has been reached through hard work and commitment to duty by personnel of the Foundation in Ghana as well as the vision of the good and friendly people of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Public Services Commission of Ghana strives to be a public service agency whose advice and opinions are respected and recognised as authoritative and indicative of best practices in human resource management and development. Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung has demonstrated that it identifies with this vision and is willing to support the PSC achieve this vision. The relationship between FES and PSC dates back more than a decade. Except for a brief period of three(3) years, FES has partnered the PSC since 1998 in executing programmes in the area of good governance. The collaboration with FES has mainly involved the organisation of the PSC's annual lectures and workshops, as well as the printing of the proceedings at these events. The lectures and workshops are meant to provide platforms for a detailed examination of major issues on development that are of significant interest and concern to Ghana. The objective is also to assist in the promotion of information sharing, dissemination and good governance. 73
