| description | In African Public Administration, this article considers the subject of rethinking identity for indigenous
public administration. It seeks to determine whether the lack of indigenous traditions as a foundation
for current Public Administration will actually fulfil the essential knowledge demands of government
by solving challenges that cannot be answered by public officials. This epistemic discrimination of
indigenous public administration in Public Administration has been widely disseminated without
taking into account the value systems of African societies that have established their own distinct
administrative structures within their respective cultural settings. This has resulted in a plethora of
misunderstandings and contradictions in contemporary public administration practices. This is due to
P[p]ublic A[a]dministration modulating the influence of Africans, their processes and institutions in
the development of the discipline. In light of this realization, this paper discusses how rethinking the
issue of identity for indigenous public administration can and should serve as a foundational tool for
promoting Africa's Public Administration. This paper employs Afrocentricity as an avant-garde to
untangle this discourse based on the above-mentioned breakdown. The paper is conceptual in nature
and is based on a review of literature from a variety of sources, including policies, popular media
statements, and academic publications. |
