Governments no longer see themselves as sole suppliers of social services, frequently opting for partnerships with the private sector. Efficiency and choice have entered the language of the planning and implementation units of Africa's line ministries, while privatization is no longer the controversial subject it was a decade ago. There have also been moves towards more open and democratic governments. Reforming Africa's Institutions looks at the extent to which reforms undertaken in Sub-Saharan Africa in recent years have enhanced institutional capacities across the breadth of government. To what extent have reforms been internalized and defended by governments? The authors also look specifically at the impact of public sector reforms on these economies and pose the question whether 'ownership can be attained when countries continue to be heavily dependent on external support. The volume is presented in three parts. The first focuses on the issue of reform ownership; on the issues of governance, the political economy of reform ownership, and the contradictions inherent in using aid as an instrument for enhancing domestic reform ownership. Part two examines the nature of incentives in the African civil service and the reforms undertaken in recent years to raise public sector efficiency in Africa. The third part discusses issues related to institutional capabilities in Africa and how they have been affected by the reforms undertaken in the 1990s, including privatization and movement towards political pluralism. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1960-|2fast 648 7 Since 1960|2fast 650 0 Administrative agencies|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85000901|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001667-781 |xManagement.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002007911 650 0 Civil service reform|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85026416|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001667-781 650 0 Democratization|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009123166 650 0 Privatization|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85107058|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001667-781 650 0 Economic assistance|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102536 650 7 Administrative agencies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/796723 650 7 Management.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1007141 650 7 Civil service reform.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 862869 650 7 Democratization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 890123 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Privatization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1077649 650 7 Economic assistance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 901592 651 0 Africa, Sub-Saharan|xPolitics and government|y1960-|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001684 651 7 Sub-Saharan Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1239520 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Kayizzi-Mugerwa, Steve.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n91027805 776 08 |iPrint version:|tReforming Africa's institutions.|dTokyo ; New York : United Nations University Press, ©2003 |z9280810812|z9280810820|w(DLC) 2002153256 |w(OCoLC)50959052 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=100794|zOnline eBook.
