Book Description
Over the past three decades, African countries have been reforming their public sector with a view to improving efficiency, effectiveness, accountability and transparency as part of efforts to improve the delivery of public services. Reform actions have included privatisation, public/private partnerships, commercialisation and adoption of private sector approaches in managing public organisations. This book, put together by OSSREA, reviews measures by African countries in that regard, the extent to which the measures have achieved their intended results, as well as the factors behind the failure to achieve those results, where this was the case.

Book Description
This report is based on the discussions of a major international conference '21st Century Public Services: Putting People First', held in London in June 2006, organised by the National School of Government and the Cabinet Office. The conference focused on three main themes relating to improvement and innovation in public services: the model for public service reform being taken forward across a range of services in the UK and other countries; how the model is working in practice; and future developments. This report considers the key issues discussed, under the headings of: changes in the context for public services; enduring goals and values; mobilising self-sustaining systems of improvement; pressure from government: top-down performance management; competition and contestability: the role of markets; choice and voice; capability and capacity of central and local government. It includes the text of a discussion paper 'The UK Government's Approach to Public Service Reform' prepared by the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit in support of the Conference.

Book Description
This book takes an in-depth look at the enormous challenges facing UK public services and considers what might be done to resolve them. The authors are confident that more of the same over-centralised approaches to public policy and so-called "levelling-up" policies will just not work. Instead, they argue for an application of radical measures, involving the creation of elected regional governments in England similar to the devolved arrangements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The book comprises four distinct parts: introduction and context; the need for major reform; policies for individual public services and cross-cutting themes. Following an introduction and discussion of the meaning of the terms public policy and public services, the first part goes on to discuss at length the substantial challenges to public policy and public services. The second part sets out the need for over-arching reforms, designed to address the issues discussed above, namely the development of elected regional governments. Each chapter in part three explores key themes concerning individual public policy areas and public services, while part four discusses a number of themes, which cut across all the public services already considered. Although the book is focused on and is of great relevance within the UK, it also has international appeal, as many of the themes discussed will have resonance in other countries and the analysis of public policy in regional administrations will also be of interest in other jurisdictions. It will appeal to students and academics in the fields of government and politics, economics, finance and accounting, public administration, public service management and social policy, as well as policymakers, practicing civil servants, public service managers and elected representatives.

Book Description
"Arising from the Government's support of the Commission of Audit's recommendations, the Premier requested the Public Service Commissioner to review the NSW public sector, starting with the executive structure, and develop reform proposals to improve public sector management. There are two parts to these reforms: reform of the executive structure and reforms which will apply to the entire government sector. The executive structure reforms involve consolidating the Senior Executive Service, Senior Officers and other executives into a single group and establishing a separate structure for cluster Director Generals. The broader government sector reforms involve introducing more contemporary employment management practices."--Executive summary.
