Public sector management reforms are not a new phenomenon in Africa. A number of reform initiatives were put in place in a number of African countries as early as the 1960s, to correct the inadequacies of administrative structures inherited from the colonial era, which proved to be inadequate for the socioeconomic development tasks that the newly independent states were embarking upon. These reforms focused on structural reorganization, improvement of pay, rationalization of employment policies, adoption of improved management systems and procedures. The 1980s however witnessed different types of reform initiatives that called for fundamental restructuring. |
