Italian term or phrase: Associazione delle Classi Dirigenti delle Pubbliche Amministrazioni (AGDP)
L'Associazione fa da sponsor all'iniziativa di una ONG. Il testo descrive brevemente i motivi per cui l'associazione sostiene tale iniziativa. Ecco l'estratto: L’Associazione delle Classi Dirigenti delle Pubbliche Amministrazioni (AGDP) aderisce al progetto “Children in need” di AMREF perché condivide gli obiettivi e la filosofia di questo progetto internazionale.

Mi chiedo se "classi dirigenti" possa essere tradotto con "ruling classes" in questo contesto.
Grazie.

Explanation:
You don't really need to translate "classe" at all, although ""ruling classes" does make me smile.

Or perhaps "Association of senior management in public administration" might be a tad more eloquent.

  -> These I think would include local government while in the UK civil servants are generally central government.
