Many new development initiatives have been introduced in Africa
over the past few decades. Each of these has been heralded as
marking a new era in the continent's development. However, many of
these initiatives have failed to produce sustained results due to
numerous challenges, including, most importantly, the lack of good
governance. The Africa Progress Panel stated in 2011 that good
governance is the key enabling factor for sustainable development.
This book discusses the role good governance plays in achieving
sustainable development and eradicating extreme poverty in Africa.
The contributed chapters in this book seek to broaden the policy
debate and provide conversations about the sustainable development
challenges facing African countries from multiple viewpoints and
interdisciplinary perspectives-from academics, researchers,
policymakers, and practitioners in the field. The book focuses on
the governance perspectives of practitioners who deal with
day-to-day realities on the ground, with the goal to use
evidence-based information to make informed policies, programs, and
strategies to move the continent toward achieving sustainable
development. This book tries to strike a balance between
recognizing the need to bring politics back into development
programs and understanding the limitations of political
institutions in weak states. To that end, it looks at the
challenges of development from the perspective of human security,
with a focus on strengthening the human resource component of
African economies in order to achieve better governance as part of
a sustainable development process.
