Management and Leadership for a Sustainable Africa, Volume 2

To effectively deliver sustainable management in practice for Africa, we need responsible leadership, and we need to deepen our understanding of sustainability in the unique socio-political and economic context of the continent. The role of various actors across public, private and non-profit sectors as enablers to sustainable development needs to be explored to understand the social, economic and environmental (SEE) trends in Africa and its emerging and developing economies, as well as to chart the way forward for the continent.This second volume explores the role and responsibilities of various actors-leaders and followers-across public, private for-profit, and private non-profit sectors in delivering sustainable development outcomes for Africa. Drawing on interviews, cases and extensive literature, this volume contributes to reflection on the leadership values and practices required for a sustainable Africa and to the crafting of new policy approaches to address the development challenges such as environmental degradation, economic inequities and social exclusion in Africa.The African scope of the book is hinged on collaboration from authors across Africa and the inclusion of case stories from emerging economies in the five African subregions (East, West, North, Central and Southern Africa) within the chapters. The core message is that, to achieve effective sustainable management and development for Africa, the practice of responsible leadership is key.
