    Protocol Handbook
    (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2014) Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    The proper application of protocol is crucial in the conduct of Government business and enhancing relations among States. It is also imperative that public servants have a basic understanding and observe the acceptable rules of conduct and behaviour in the social, political and diplomatic interaction in public service delivery. As one of the ways to improve on the conduct of Protocol, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has developed a Protocol Handbook setting out guidelines for all Government officials/institutions on planning, organising, conducting, and attending national ceremonies and international conference in addition to dealing with diplomatic missions and other foreign entities. The Handbook is not designed to be prescriptive but rather to provide the basic guidelines for proper protocol and etiquette. I hope you find this Handbook a useful reference and further your knowledge and skills in the application of proper protocol in the conduct of Government business.
