Social Creativity in Green Public Administration in Africa

This chapter explores the critical convergence of Green Public Administration and Social Creativity as transformative mechanisms for sustainable development in Africa. Confronting complex environmental and socio-economic challenges, the continent is increasingly recognising social creativity as a powerful approach to problem-solving. Rooted in collective intelligence, indigenous wisdom, and participatory governance, these innovative strategies are reshaping how African public institutions design and implement sustainable solutions. The chapter critically analyses green policy implementations across energy, agricultural, and conservation domains, showcasing how collaborative approaches can drive meaningful environmental and social change. By highlighting successful community-driven initiatives, the research offers strategic policy recommendations for expanding socially creative green governance models across Africa.
