Capacity building in Africa

African countries must improve the performance of their public sectors if they are to achieve their stated goals of reducing poverty, accelerating economic growth, and providing better services to their citizens. The continued weakness of the public sector in most countries in the Region reflects deeply rooted conditions that are the legacy of such influences as colonialism, political conflict, and the underdevelopment of the private and nongovernmental sectors. Long-term, systemic approaches are required to build public sector capacity under these conditions.
