While many challenges remain to foster inclusive growth to address the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty, and inequality, some innovative approaches have been used to build more inclusive public institutions. These have helped to expand service delivery, strengthen quality, and improve the lives of millions of South Africans. Although much is known about the motivation and nature of the policies and institutional changes that drove this transformation, very little is known of the manner in which they were executed. With this book, Making It Happen, From Policies to Implementation, we offer a selection of twelve case studies to illustrate how policies and institutions were developed and implemented to improve specific public services. Done through interviews with senior policy makers, the book captures the how to of executing these policies in a variety of areas including increasing budget transparency, developing an intergovernmental fiscal system, strengthening tax administration, developing a modern performance monitoring and evaluation system, expanding HIV/AIDS treatment, reforming the social transfer system, strengthening statistics, creating a modern national identity system, developing a system for the management of biodiversity, modernizing the national road network management, developing the framework for renewable energy, and the formulation of the country's much lauded constitution. Tracing a twenty year journey of transformation, this book places particular emphasis on recording the design of these reforms and endeavors to shed some light on the decision-making processes. In particular, it attempts to provide insight on the trade-offs policy makers faced, and the sequencing and complementarities among the various reforms. It finds leadership at different levels, adoption of pragmatic and innovative solutions, and the focus on results as among the key drivers in implementing these changes. This book is primarily intended to enhance knowledge exchange by exporting South Africa's development experience to the world. It is a product of the country's Knowledge Hub, developed in partnership with the World Bank Group, to provide evidence-based solutions for enhancing service delivery. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aBudget Transparency 606 $aInstitutional Reforms 606 $aIntergovernmental Fiscal Affairs 606 $aMonitoring and Evaluation 606 $aPublic Sector Management 606 $aTax Administration 607 $aSouth Africa$xPolitics and government$y21st century$vCase studies 607 $aSouth Africa$xGovernment policy$vCase studies 615 4$aBudget Transparency. 615 4$aInstitutional Reforms. 615 4$aIntergovernmental Fiscal Affairs. 615 4$aMonitoring and Evaluation. 615 4$aPublic Sector Management. 615 4$aTax Administration. 676 $a351.68 700 $aAlam$b Asad$01494504 702 $aAlam$b Asad 702 $aMokate$b Renosi 702 $aPlangemann$b Kathrin A. 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796337103321 996 $aMaking It Happen$93751349 997 $aUNINA
