The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming public service delivery in Africa, is convening a national workshop titled “Rethinking Reforms: Why Many Reforms Fail in Nigeria and What We Can Do About It.” The workshop will be held on 30th July 2024 and will bring together key stakeholders to discuss critical issues hindering the success of public sector reforms in Nigeria.
While Nigeria’s public service has a commendable history of guiding the nation through challenging times, recent decades have witnessed a decline in its effectiveness due to factors such as political interference, a lack of meritocracy, and limited citizen participation. To understand the root causes of these challenges and chart a path forward, the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation commissioned an in-depth research study on public sector reforms. The workshop will serve as a platform to unveil the initial findings of the research and engage in collaborative discussions with key stakeholders.
“Our mission at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation is to facilitate the reform of the Nigerian public service so that it reaches its potential as a powerful agent for positive change,” said Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Executive Vice Chair at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation. “This workshop provides a platform to identify the underlying causes of past public sector reform failures and develop a roadmap for achieving lasting progress in the future.”
The workshop will explore various topics, including an analysis of past reform efforts and their limitations, and the development of solutions to address current challenges such as the lack of meritocracy, ethical concerns, and limited use of technology in reform initiatives. The workshop will also explore fostering citizen inclusion and prioritising citizen-centric solutions throughout the reform design and implementation processes.
Stakeholders, including government officials, politicians, policymakers, civil society organisations, business leaders, academics, the media, and engaged citizens, will have the chance to engage in constructive dialogue on these topics and provide feedback on the research findings. This collaborative approach aims to refine the research and develop actionable recommendations for building a more effective public service for Nigeria.
The expected outcomes of the workshop include a deeper understanding of the challenges hindering public sector reform efforts, a commitment to evidence-based reform strategies that prioritise meritocracy, ethical conduct, citizen participation, and a more collaborative and inclusive approach to reform planning, implementation, and evaluation.
The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation invites all stakeholders committed to improving public service delivery in Nigeria to participate in this important workshop. More information on registration and the workshop agenda will be available on the Foundation’s website.
