| Description |
The reform of public sector institutions has been an enduring and repeated agenda in the study and practice of public administration. Over the years, several reform movements have offered various propositions and prescriptions to reform the public sector. Unfortunately, the ideal of active citizens’ participation in the conduct and management of public affairs has not been institutionalized and remains missing in public administration practices and processes. This article looks at the problems and challenges impinging on authentic citizens’ participation in policy-making and offers the model of collaborative governance as a promising strategy to fully operationalize citizen participation. The article discusses the components of collaborative governance and suggests that citizens’ participation can be legislated to ensure that the inputs and voices of the general public will not only be heard, but will be incorporated in policies that will be shaped by bureaucrats and policy-makers.
