The Impact of Public Administration Education on Individual Policy Capacity of Federal Civil Servants in Ethiopia
In recent decades, policy capacity has garnered increasing attention from scholars in the Global North. However, there has been limited focus on policy capacity in developing countries, particularly in Africa. While various factors, such as experience, the nature of policy tasks, and educational background, can influence the policy capacity of civil servants, there is still little known about the extent to which public administration (PA) learnin…
From classroom to bureaucracy
Public Administration (PA) teaching aims to prepare the next generation of public sector professionals. Given its strong connection to practice, it should align with civil service requirements. Research on the relationship between PA teaching and public sector professions in Africa in general, and in Ethiopia in particular, is scarce. Using a deductive content analysis approach, this study examines the competencies required in the civil service a…
Public leaders’ organisational learning in times of recurring crisis and the role of public service motivation
The lack of research on public leaders’ organisational learning (OL) in times of recurrent crisis and the role of public service motivation (PSM) in general and in a crisis-ridden Africa (Ethiopia) in particular is surprising. This study addresses this gap by using cross-sectional survey data from local government political leaders ( n = 572) in Oromia Regional State and examining the relationship between PSM and OL in times of recurring crisis. …
Rethinking African-European Scientific Cooperation
African universities rely on teaching traditions and scientific theories based on Western epistemologies and ontologies. Interactions between European and African scholars too tend to focus on the deficits in African experiences, knowledge, research and teaching methodologies and the poor economic environments in which they operate that are characterized by inadequate infrastructure and budgets. This essay discusses an emerging opportunity in sci…
Inter-Organizational Bench-Learning to Respond to Climate Change and Reduce Trade-Offs in Urban Drinking Water Supply
Most studies on drinking water supply seem to focus on efficiency analysis and have failed to analyze effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and trade-offs in performance management. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) novel reference technologies, we analyzed the efficiency, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, and the social, economic and ecological performance (TBL elements) of 29 municipalities in drinking water s…
Access to drinking water in sub-Saharan Africa
Using data from 14 sub-Saharan African countries, this study investigates the relevance of the developmental state doctrine to enhancing access to improved drinking water sources and to reducing urban–rural inequalities in access to improved sources and piped-on premises. Although access to improved water sources and urban–rural inequality seems better in developmental states than in non-developmental states, we have not found sufficient support …
