This book represents a collective effort to delve into the intricacies of governance systems in Africa, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and propose innovative approaches to the urgent challenges facing the continent.Africa is at a critical juncture in its development trajectory. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the need to move beyond traditional notions of governance as static, hierarchical systems towards more dynamic, adaptive frameworks that reflect the complex, interconnected nature of contemporary societies. The ecosystem metaphor offers a powerful lens through which to understand governance in Africa. Like natural ecosystems, governance systems are dynamic and evolving entities characterized by complex interactions between diverse actors and institutions. In this book, we explore the transition from traditional governance systems to more holistic ecosystem-based approaches. The aim is to propose practical solutions that can support transformative change.
