De-Governmentalizing Public Management: The Case of Platforms for Local Development in Cabo Verde

Jose Maria Gomes Lopes

A chapter in Recent Advances in Public Sector Management from IntechOpen

Abstract: This paper introduces and explains the process of de-governmentalization of public policy, by focusing on a specific case, the Platforms for Local Development in Cabo Verde. The argument is that inclusive and integrated collaborative governance (ICG) structures enhance the government's ability to trigger endogenous development and prosperity for all, as they engender synergies, resources, and a collective commitment among the collaborative actors to deliver quality public services. Thus, government is not the sole public manager of public policy, but simply a partner, along with non-government actors, including civil society organizations, the private sector, and international organizations, in a formal processes of policymaking and service delivery. The paper relies on qualitative data collected through official reports by government and international organizations based in Cabo Verde, legislations, and interviews with local governance stakeholders.
