This forward-thinking Handbook provides a thorough and
comprehensive guide on the positive prospects for public management
and governance across the African continent. Exploring best
practices learned by public management and governments in the
region, this book examines Africa’s ability to leapfrog developed
nations in the adoption and adaptation of managerial models,
techniques and applications for government. Literature on
governance on the African continent is often pervaded with examples
of poor leadership, low managerial competency, failing
infrastructure, corruption and malpractice. Adopting a
comparatively constructive and pragmatic approach, this Handbook
explores the broad spectrum of government functions and operations
across the continent to outline examples of optimal public policy
implementation and performance improvement of public institutions.
Bringing together over 30 eminent scholars from the five main
African regions, it delivers a comparative analysis of cases and
examples in order to ascertain best practice and build effective
frameworks for the future. This essential Handbook will appeal to
students and scholars of public administration and management,
political science, developmental studies and planning and policy
development. It will also be of great benefit to public sector
practitioners, political representatives and development agencies
looking to learn from African public management.
