Book excerpt: "In a recent paradigm shift, local governments find themselves shouldering more responsibility for day-to-day governance and crisis management, thanks to regulations and federal spending cuts. While twenty years ago a book on local government administration might have been considered complete with chapters on budgeting, public personnel management, productivity and responsivity, and community engagement, any discussion of local government must now also include resiliency, emergency management, climate change, smart cities, social media, and infrastructure funding. Bringing together key voices from the academic and public sectors, Local Government Management offers techniques and insight into how local government can most effectively lead and manage their resources in an evolving political - and environmental - landscape. Featuring examples from expert contributors' own decades of public service and research, this forward-thinking book explores the rapid speed of change in local communities and the need for local government to not only adapt, but to also proactively plan for the future. Local Government Management is essential reading for local government officials, public stakeholders, practitioners, and students of public administration and management"--

Download or read book The Art of Local Government Management written by Ighodalo Akhakpe and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Presently, Nigeria's democracy and development are at a crossroads. This is not unconnected with the crisis that has inundated these processes in the country. Following failed expectations of the first and second independence movements, the country has been on an unending search for sustainable democracy and development that have so far progressed in twists and turns. In the course of this pursuit, the citizenry particularly at the grassroots, have been beaten, battered and marginalised. How can Nigeria come out of this cul-de-sac? this book thus, is a contribution to the search for democracy and development that would be sustainable. The book submits that the bottom-top approach with local government management as a springboard, holds the keys that will unlock grassroots democracy and development that is sustainable. It also presents the inescapable conclusion that to stem the recurring tide of socio-economic decay and inspire renewal, local government management is the genuine solution."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis Strategic GIS Planning and Management in Local Government by : David A. Holdstock
Download or read book Strategic GIS Planning and Management in Local Government written by David A. Holdstock and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "how-to" book on planning and managing GIS within local government describes and details the key components of a successful enterprise, sustainable and enduring GIS. It describes the strategic planning process an organization must undertake prior to GIS implementation. The heart of the book is the formula for success that offers a systematic methodology for examining and benchmarking a GIS initiative and the practical and repeatable strategy for success. There are many obstacles to successful GIS implementation, and unfortunately, the local government landscape is riddled with false starts, poorly planned implementations, and glorified mapping systems. This book documents the reason for failure and possible remedies to overcome the challenges to implementation. It discusses pathways to change, ways of improving organizational effectiveness and efficiency, and lays out the organizational approaches, management processes, and leadership actions that are required for GIS to become an indispensable part of an organization. This book is about aiming high, so you can consistently hit your mark by formulating goals and objectives that will tremendously influence the success of a GIS initiative. It details the factors crucial for building an enterprise GIS vision statement that includes governance, data and databases, procedures and workflow, GIS software, GIS training and education, and infrastructure, and how to develop performance measures related to the stated objectives of an organization. The book combines theory with real-world experience to offer guidance on the process of managing GIS implementation. Through key components, this book introduces a new way to think about GIS technology.?
Book Synopsis Fostering blueprints for local government development by : Marissa M. Bell,
Download or read book Fostering blueprints for local government development written by Marissa M. Bell, and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2014-12-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Local Government Development Framework (LGDF) is a local governance performance measurement and monitoring tool based on government-citizen collaboration. Developed by RTI International, the LGDF provides for the establishment of demand-driven benchmarks and participatory assessments for the improvement of local governance, service delivery in particular. The paper presents the development-project origins of the LGDF beginning in the 1980s, comparatively examines LGDF’s strengths and weaknesses, and provides a step-by-step discussion of its utilization. Four developing countries in which the LGDF has been applied serve as examples. The LGDF involves, first, the establishment of performance benchmarks for the priority functions of the local government. Second, local officials and community stakeholders come together to collaboratively assess and score progress toward achieving the benchmarks. Third, local officials working with stakeholders develop action plans for achieving priority objectives. Finally, the process is regularly repeated to identify areas of improvement and future capacity-building needs. Successful implementation of the LGDF, we conclude, requires leadership, well-aligned political incentives, proper design and implementation, and dedication to the process. Yet it has withstood the test of time and proven to be an effective tool for bringing government together with the community to achieve local development objectives.

Download or read book Municipal Management written by Annelise Venter and published by Juta and Company Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book & CD. In a developmental state like South Africa, municipalities have the specific responsibility of generating growth and development in their areas of jurisdiction. Through consultative processes, municipal goals and functioning are in the public domain. As co-creator of the future of local communities, municipalities must master the totality of local governance. To do this, current and prospective municipal managers need to understand, for example: the role and functions of municipalities in South Africa; the constitutional dispensation as it affects municipalities; the strategic orientation of municipalities within the global and national contexts; the capacities and resources available; best practices as far as management processes, procedures and methods are concerned. The book explores the multifaceted nature of municipal management in South Africa and focuses the readers attention on selected key strategic issues such as: local economic development; local democracy; disaster risk reduction.

Book Synopsis Public Administration and Society by : Richard C. Box
Download or read book Public Administration and Society written by Richard C. Box and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2009 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Update and expanded, and featuring three new readings, this book provides a unique approach for instructors who want to expose their students to the social, political, and historical context of the practice of public administration. While most introductory texts cover a wide range of topics and are oriented toward details of management technique, this innovative volume focuses instead on the broader society within which public service practitioners work. The author's own text is skillfully interwoven with a collection of seminal readings and documents that illuminate the key issues of past and present for public service professionals in a democratic society. Public Administration and Society develops two important themes. One is an emphasis on the historical development of institutions and practices, giving students in-depth background and knowledge to effect meaningful change. The second theme involves local government and the public practitioner's role in fostering democracy, citizenship, citizenship, and community self-government.
