Abstract This study examined rural-urban dependency in Nigeria by analyzing socio-economic characteristics, and perceptions of dependency among rural and urban communities in six states. A mixed-methods approach was employed, with stratified random sampling used to select participants from rural and urban communities. The findings revealed that rural-urban migration in Nigeria is driven by economic factors and that there is a high level of interdependence between rural and urban communities. The study highlights the complex dynamics of rural-urban dependency and the need for a comprehensive approach to address these challenges. The implications of the findings include the need for targeted rural development programs, improved access to basic amenities in rural areas, incorporation of rural-urban linkages in urban planning, and policies promoting rural integration into the national economy. Recommendations include increased government investment in rural development, provision of incentives for private sector investment in rural areas, improvement of education quality in rural areas, and continued research and monitoring of rural-urban migration patterns. Implementation of these recommendations can promote sustainable development in both rural and urban areas. Keywords: Rural-urban dependency, Rural development, Socio-economic characteristics, Nigeria, Interdependence.

Abstract Project grants, which are designated to fund a particular program or initiative, are supposed to be awarded based on the technical merit of the grant application. However, public administrators are commonly influenced by political priorities. We ask whether administrators prioritize merit or political objectives when awarding project grants. We identify three decision-making processes used to award project grants: political, administrative, and exported. Then, using data from eight U.S. federal grant programs from 2008 – 2015, we analyze whether grants using each of these decision-making processes show signs of political influence. We find evidence that grants using either political or administrative forms of decision-making are susceptible to legislative priorities. Grants awarded by third-party experts show no evidence of political influence. We conclude that political factors are important for the allocation of project grants, offering insights into the interdependent relationship between legislators and administrators. Keywords: Decision-Making, Politics, Grants, Contracts, Pork Barrel Politics, Federalism, Political Control, Bureaucratic Politics, Public Administration.

Abstract This research paper discusses the implementation of performance management in the South African local government, with a specific focus on the O.R. Tambo District Municipality (ORTDM). The aim of the study is to investigate the obstacles to effective performance management and determine the compliance of the local government with performance management as stated in the white paper in order to improve service delivery. The research methodology used in the study is qualitative research, which involves collecting descriptive data through interviews and document analysis. The paper specifically focuses on the challenges faced by Section 57 employees (Municipal Manager, Directors, and Assistant Directors) in implementing the Performance Management System within the O.R. Tambo District Municipality. The findings of the study highlight several challenges to effective performance management in ORTDM. One major obstacle identified is the lack of training and development opportunities for employees. The municipality lacks a proper training policy, resulting in employees not having the necessary skills and understanding of performance management. This issue is exacerbated by the changes in the local government system and the loss of valuable skills and institutional memory. Overall, the research paper highlights the need for addressing these challenges in order to improve performance management and service delivery in the South African local government, particularly in the O.R. Tambo District Municipality. It emphasizes the importance of training and development, overcoming resistance to change, establishing effective communication strategies, and promoting public participation and accountability. Keywords: Local Government, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Performance Management System, Municipal Systems, Municipality, Service Delivery.

ABSTRACT What happens to state bureaucracies when authoritarianism emerges? How do autocrats seek to use the administration to their ends, and how does it react? The paper analyzes Venezuela as a showcase for autocratization in Latin America. Under Chavismo-Madurismo, the general objective of the regime was to expand and co-opt all the state institutions, including public administration, to subordinate it to the “revolution” and to gain control over oil revenues. As the central aspect of the paper, we will analyse the strategies of the Chavista governments vis á vis the administration to achieve these goals. We identify three main strategies that were used to sideline the bureaucracy: repression and firing; circumventing and neglecting; and militarisation. With these strategies, Chavismo-Madurismo dismantled the former existing public administration and installed a new administration, loyal to the regime, as a part of the process of autocratization. The paper also addresses how the autocratic regime has (mis)used the public management of the Covid-pandemic to strengthen autocracy under the disguise of a state of emergency.

Abstract The slow pace within which the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) targets were achieved necessitated that 193 United Nations (UN) member states develop the Agenda 2030 popularly known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whilst many developed countries find it easy to implement the SDGs, underdeveloped and developing countries such as South Africa will inherently find it difficult to implement the SDGs. The ambitious United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been criticized for being universal, broadly framed, inconsistent and difficult to quantify, implement and monitor. The burden of implementation will be worse when it comes to local governments or municipalities which are faced with service delivery challenges on daily basis. Many proponents of SDGs believe that the success of the implementation of the SDGs lies in successful localization at the municipal level. It is for this reason that this study explored the localization of the SDGs in South African Municipalities. It looked at the theoretical framework of the SDGs. It used qualitative research design and employed semi-structured interviews to gather information from senior managers in local government across South Africa. The study found that some municipalities do have Institutional Frameworks, processes and plans to localize the SDGs however the level of implementation is still very low and needs to be intensified hence an implementation model is recommended by this study. Keywords: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Localization of the SDGs, Implementation, Sustainability, Leaving no-one behind, Alignment, Leveraging, Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
千年发展目标(Millennium Development Goals, MDGs)的实现速度缓慢,迫使193个联合国成员国制定了2030年议程,俗称可持续发展目标(Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs)。虽然许多发达国家认为实施可持续发展目标很容易,但像南非这样的不发达国家和发展中国家自然会发现实施可持续发展目标很困难。雄心勃勃的联合国可持续发展目标(sdg)因其普遍性、框架宽泛、不一致以及难以量化、实施和监测而受到批评。对于每天都面临服务提供挑战的地方政府或直辖市来说,执行负担将更加沉重。许多可持续发展目标的支持者认为,可持续发展目标的成功实施取决于城市层面的成功本地化。正是出于这个原因,本研究探讨了可持续发展目标在南非城市的本地化。它研究了可持续发展目标的理论框架。它采用定性研究设计和半结构化访谈,从南非地方政府的高级管理人员那里收集信息。研究发现,一些城市确实有将可持续发展目标本地化的体制框架、流程和计划,但实施水平仍然很低,需要加强,因此本研究建议采用一种实施模式。关键词:可持续发展目标(sdg),可持续发展目标本土化,实施,可持续性,不让任何人掉队,协调,杠杆,第四次工业革命(4IR)

Abstract This study overviews employee’s participation in decision making in Nigerian Public sector using Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Anambra state Command with a view to ascertain the level of workers participation in decision-making, and determine its impact on FRSC corporate performance between 2011 - 2022. The study is quantitative in nature and used researcher’s structured Likert scale questionnaire format to generate data from 360 respondents, which was complemented by extensive review of related literature. SPSS version 20.0 tools were used to analyse the data. Results of analysis reveal workers do not participation in decision-making but are solely responsible for its implementation; and prevalence of corporate poor performance in FRSC Anambra state Command. Therefore, the study observes a statistically significant relationship between workers’ participation in decision-making and corporate performance in the public sector. Primarily, the study recommends the democratisation of decision making in the FRSC Anambra state Command in order to enhance performance. Keywords: Decision Processes, Workers, Participation, FRSC, Nigeria.
