It describes how different public services have designed, implemented and monitored affirmative action. Knowing how governments implement affirmative action is useful for understanding pressures to expand public employment. It provides insight into how difficult reform options can be carried through. The analysis draws upon four case studies of the public services of India, Malaysia, Nigeria and South Africa that were prepared for the World Bank’s Governance Knowledge Sharing Program. Pachampet Sundaram, independent consultant, wrote the case studies of India and Malaysia. Professor John Erero of the Department of Public Administration, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria and Babatunde Oyedeji, Independent Policy Group, Abuja wrote the case study on Nigeria with the assistance of Ayo Adesopo of Obafemi Awolowo University. The South African case study was written by Professor Robert Cameron of the Department of Political Studies, University of Cape Town. The study was designed by Ranjana Mukherjee and Ladipo Adamolekun who also analyzed the cases and prepared the summary of findings. Contents
