In recent years, a number of African
governments, sometimes working in partnership with the Bank,
and other development partners, have moved forward with
new-style programs to build public sector capacity. This
book aims to share some of the lessons for the design, and
implementation of public sector capacity building, emerging
from this new generation of operational practice. Their
experiences are reviewed, and some major challenges for the
African public sector are identified for how can African
states: be innovative in the reform process, harness the
energies of the local elites, learn from past reformers,
and, harness political will as a partner in the reform
process. It addresses topics such as the relationship
between governance and economic development, public
expenditure and accountability, anticorruption reform,
decentralization, political structures, and, the delivery of
public services. |
