First handbook on Ethiopian Public Administration
Building an effective, inclusive, and accountable
public administration has become a major point of attention for policymakers
and academics in Ethiopia who want to realise sustainable development. This
first handbook on Ethiopian Public Administration is written by Ethiopian
academics and practitioner-academics and builds on PhD studies and conference
papers, including studies presented at the meetings of the Ethiopian Public
Administration Association (EPAA), established in 2016.

Public
Administration in Ethiopia presents
a wide range of timely issues in four thematic parts: Governance, Human Resources,
Performance and Quality, and Governance of Policies. Each of the individual
chapters in this volume contributes in a different way to the overarching
research questions: How can we describe
and explain the contexts, the processes and the results of the post-1990
politico-administrative reforms in Ethiopia? And what are the implications for
sustainable development?

This book is essential for students, practitioners,
and theorists interested in public administration, public policy, and
sustainable development. Moreover, the volume is a valuable stepping stone for
PA teaching and PA research in Ethiopia.
