The sustainable development goals signed in 2016 marked a new phase
in global development thinking, one which is focused on
ecologically and fiscally sustainable human settlements. Few
countries offer a better testing ground for their attainment than
post-apartheid South Africa. Since the coming to power of the
African National Congress, the country has undergone a policy
making revolution, driven by an urgent need to improve access to
services for the country's black majority. A quarter century on
from the fall of apartheid, Building a Capable State asks what
lessons can be learned from the South African experience. The book
assesses whether the South African government has succeeded in
improving service delivery, focusing on the vital sectors of water
and sanitation, energy, roads, public transport and housing.
Emphasizing the often-overlooked role of local government
institutions and finance, the book demonstrates that effective
service delivery can have a profound impact on the social structure
of emerging economies, and must form an integral part of any future
development strategy. A comprehensive examination of urban service
delivery in the global South, Building a Capable State is essential
reading for students and practitioners across the social sciences,
public finance and engineering sectors.
