“…The literature has also examined the voice of churches and religious groups in setting policy (e.g., Amsler ; Carter ; Koliba, Meek and Zia ; White and Jeter ). This literature tends to look at the issue from a political science or public service ethos perspective, but there is comparatively little attention placed on the legal parameters that affect administrators.…”

Evidence for Practice• Public administration is based in management, political science, and the law, so effective public administrators need to stay abreast of developments in the law when designing policies and programs.• A given set of facts can be interpreted through different legal lenses, each with unique implications for public administration.• While direct service areas of government such as education, housing, and human resources have become sensitive to constitutional considerations, other areas of public service are becoming increasingly affected.• The contours of the constitutional requirement of government neutrality toward religion continue to be tested and evolve.

“…The network is therefore intended as a stable model of coordinated actions and exchanges of resources that involve actors and politicians and that cross different social scales, develop public, private, or non-profit in different sectors with different geographical levels. These elements interact through a variety of competitive levels, cooperative control, and negotiations related to one or more aspects of the policy flow (Koliba, Meek, & Zia, 2010). In literature, Network Governance takes into account the interdependence of public, private and semi-private actors, acting as an advanced approach able to respond better to the needs of the territory, surpassing the New Public Management model (Benington & Hartley, 2001).…”

The network is a model that may be able to respond to public needs by overcoming some limitations of other approaches. In literature, a generalizable model is often absent and not applicable to more than one productive sector. The case study uses the "Torino Model" to highlight the most frequent features and measurable elements of the network through a bottom-up coding approach by ATLAS software. The case is analyzed through interviews, documents analysis and observation of the functioning of the network. Sustainability, management and the main network outcomes are the elements that the study examines the case study. The analysis responds to the gap identified in the literature concerning the application to a system composed of institutions. The essential elements linked to know-how, the exchange of training and information and therefore the growth of intangible value constitute the essential basis for the establishment of a successful network, and this is also highlighted by the case study. The case study highlights how the network between institutions reduces costs by eliminating the duplication of services offered and increasing effectiveness and efficiency through increasing other factors such as the professional ability to respond to needs by immediately putting institutions and professionals in communication. The model confirms the ability to overcome the gap related to the network between institutions and between public and private, increasing the well-being of the local system.

“…The relationship between governance, policy, and implementation is complex, and the inconsistencies of local governance highlight the need for a versatile methodological approach to elucidate operational challenges at the local level. The methodological approach of this research is based on the premise that governance actors come together to form policies to be implemented for generating effective results and attaining substantive objectives (Koliba et al, 2017;Newig & Koontz, 2013). However, improved policy planning does not necessarily lead to improved implementation as it is difficult to predict outcomes that largely depend on the capacity of policy implementers, which is to an extent determined by governance effectiveness (Koliba et al, 2017).…”

Identifying local governance capacity needs for implementing climate change adaptation in Mauritius

The IPCC 1.5°C Report lists identifying local capacity needs as key for enabling multilevel governance to effectively respond to climate change. Mauritius, as a Small Island State, is disproportionately affected by climate change, primarily due to its exposure to impacts, as well as various constraints in size and resources. Identifying and integrating local capacity needs into recommendations for policy measures is therefore urgently required to support the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its National Adaptation Plan process. This study carries out a local governance assessment based on evaluative criteria to identify local capacity needs for implementing climate change adaptation in Mauritius. Results from the assessment indicate that local governance suffers from issues inherent to Small Island States, such as lack of technical know-how, financial and human resources, stringent legislation and effective monitoring mechanisms, preventing effective climate change adaptation. Through participatory, bottom-up stakeholder engagement with local and national government representatives, eight recommendations for policy formulation were then co-developed to address the identified capacity needs, and to improve cooperation between local and national institutions for more effective implementation of climate change adaptation. Key policy insights. Local climate change adaptation needs have to be integrated into policy formulation for an effective response to climate change impacts.. Roles and responsibilities of government levels for climate change adaptation in Mauritius are currently in need of clarification.. Capacity building measures at the local level for implementing climate change actions from national government are urgently required.. Stringent legislation and effective monitoring mechanisms need to be implemented to ensure planning regulations are adhered to.. Increased collaboration between local and national levels of government in Mauritius is necessary for synthesizing a common approach to climate change adaptation.
