This case study is about conceptualizing the proper role of government administration in promoting HRD in developing countries. The main objective is to provide thoughts relevant to the topic based on lessons learned from the Malaysian experience during ten years (1997- 2007). The conclusions of the research are built upon analysis of data obtained through interviews of Malaysian government officials and examination of Malaysian government documents. Over all, the analysis suggests that in order to design and implement sound HRD programs, a developing country needs to: a- realize the general challenges associated with HRD, and how these challenges should be dealt with; b- distinguish its special HRD needs in light of its unique circumstances; c- identify the specific obstacles that are likely to hinder its particular HRD operations; d- define accurately its available resources; and e -understand correctly the adequate role of government administration in the process.
