Past public service reforms in Nigeria have often fallen short due to a focus on structure and process, neglecting the underlying "hard environment" factors. To chart a way forward, it is crucial to address these challenges by fostering collaboration, learning from successful reforms in other nations, and creating a public service culture that prioritises accountability and unity. Together, we can pave the way for effective and sustainable reforms that truly transform the public sector.

🇿🇼 The Importance of Good Governance in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is at a crossroads, brimming with potential 🌟. But to unlock this promise, we must focus on one critical pillar: good governance. Good governance is more than policies—it’s about transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. It ensures resources are managed wisely, the rule of law is upheld ⚖️, and opportunities are created for all citizens 🙌. We’ve experienced the challenges of poor governance—economic instability 📉, social unrest 🛑, and weakened institutions. It’s time to turn the page and build systems that: ✅ Prioritize accountability in leadership. ✅ Promote transparency in managing public resources. ✅ Empower citizens to participate in shaping policies. Good governance will foster trust 🤝, attract investment 💼, and create an environment where innovation can thrive 💡. Together, we can chart a new course for Zimbabwe’s future—a future built on integrity, equity, and progress. Let’s commit to being part of the change we wish to see 🇿🇼. #GoodGovernance #Zimbabwe #Leadership #Accountability #Transparency #Progress

With a democracy score of 4.23 out of 10 and a global rank of 104th, Nigeria is at a crucial moment. These numbers reflect the gaps in our democracy—the voices still unheard, the accountability still lacking, and the work still needed. But democracy isn’t built by governments alone. It thrives when citizens—ordinary people like us—stay informed, vote, and demand better. It grows stronger when we hold leaders accountable, ask important questions, and engage in our communities. Together, these small actions create a stronger, more representative Nigeria. Let’s use this score as a call to action, building a Nigeria where democracy truly reflects the will and welfare of its people. Our democracy’s strength lies not just in numbers but in the commitment of its citizens. _ #AYGF #DemocraticGovernance #AfricaYouthGrowthFoundation #SDG #SDG16 #SustainableDevelopmentGoals
