Management and Leadership for a Sustainable Africa, Volume 1

<p>To effectively deliver sustainable management in practice for Africa, we need responsible leadership.&nbsp;We need to deepen our understanding of sustainability in the unique socio-political and economic context of the continent. The roles&nbsp;of various actors across public, private and non-profit sectors as enablers&nbsp;of sustainable development need&nbsp;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.</p><p>This first volume focuses on the African understanding of sustainability and its dimensions within its unique historical, social, environmental and political contexts. Through the lens of responsible leadership, the authors reflect on the&nbsp;implementation and extension of&nbsp;the SEE sustainability triad in ways unique to the African continent, especially in relation to the development of well-thought-out, healthy and enduring&nbsp;policy frameworks and the promotion of good&nbsp;governance.</p><p> </p><p>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&nbsp;and sustainable management and development for Africa, the practice of responsible leadership is critical.</p><p></p>
