Leadership Transformation and Good Governance-Architects of Sustainable Development in Africa

Abstract

This paper shall analyze the economic implications, policy components of development on the human well being in Africa. It will also appreciate and appropriate the many-sided processes of development which are aimed at better human living condition. And because development has been misconstrued to be an economic term, this paper adopts analytical method and with a critical eye examines and clarifies development as an economic, scientific, social, cultural, technological and a political term. The conclusion is that integral process of development indicates that human beings are determined to be architects of their destinies. Development is both personal and comprehensive. Good governance and development or sustainable development is inextricably linked. Without good democratic governance there would be no good dynamics of leadership structure. Development is borne out of the need for resolving the problems of human wellbeing.
