Description

Building an effective civil service is crucial for public service delivery and good governance, but reforming bureaucratic institutions is notoriously difficult. This book takes a fresh perspective on this challenge by documenting and analyzing the implementation of more than one hundred reforms initiated by six African countries over the last thirty years. Martin J. Williams demonstrates that these efforts largely fell short of their goals because they typically approached organizational change as a matter of changing formal structures and processes through one-off projects. The analysis reveals why sustained, strategic approaches to institutional reform prove far more effective than isolated interventions. This Columbia University Press publication offers valuable insights for policymakers, public administrators, and governance professionals seeking to understand the complexities of bureaucratic reform and how to implement lasting change within government organisations.
