African Interfaces: Governance, Management, Leadership and Change

African Interfaces Project

This particularly focuses on the role of cross-cultural management and organizational science in helping to achieve MDGs by 2015. This began with the health sector project, and over the next three years will focus on other sectors that are important in addressing crucial development issues, in particular poverty, health, education, inequality and sustainability. These sectors will include at least: public sector, health, NGO/’Third Sector’, ICT, mining and extraction, banking and finance, SMEs – i.e. all agents of major change, and the relationships (interfaces) among sectors. It will eventually embrace a substantial number of African countries, with partners also in North America, Europe, East Asia (particularly China whose activities in Africa are especially of interest to policy makers and government leaders), and other emerging economies: including Brazil and India. It will examine the geopolitical context and international/local relationships; intercultural influences and relations at different levels; nature of management and measures of effectiveness and appropriateness; levels of leaders and the nature of change; training and capacity needs; policy recommendations (to international development policy makers, business leaders, etc); practitioner training and capacity building; publication series.
