Over the last decades, issues in ethical leadership have become central to the global call for higher moral standards on the part of corporate organisations and their leaders and managers. This book investigates these concerns in Africa, where governance gaps often reflect poor leadership. In 2001, a UNDP report found difficulties in applying anti-corruption laws and managing public institutions in the continent. Twenty years on, significant efforts have been made to improve the situation, yet extensive challenges still subsist. In this first volume of ‘Ethics and Accountable Governance in Africa’s Public Sector’, contributors discuss the practice of ethics, anti-corruption, and performance management, and propose solutions, some general to the continent and others country-specific. This book is an excellent resource for academics and students interested in ethics and accountability in the public sector, as well as for practitioners, NGOs and policymakers.
