International Journal of Public Administration and Policy Studies (IJPAPS)

About the Journal

The International Journal of Public Administration and Policy Studies (IJPAPS) is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the systematic study of public administration, governance systems, and public policy processes. The journal provides a credible platform for scholars, public servants, policy analysts, and development practitioners to interrogate the structures, practices, and reforms shaping public sector performance at local, national, and international levels. With particular attention to African governance contexts and comparable global systems, IJPAPS promotes evidence-based research that enhances institutional capacity, accountability, and effective service delivery. The journal welcomes empirically grounded studies, policy analyses, and comparative research that inform public sector reform and sustainable development.
Researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and postgraduate scholars are encouraged to submit original contributions that advance administrative science and strengthen public policy outcomes across diverse governance environments.

Aim & Scope

IJPAPS aims to advance scholarly understanding of public administration and public policy through rigorous, policy-relevant research. The journal publishes studies on public sector management, policy formulation and implementation, administrative reform, decentralization, local government, regulatory governance, e-governance, and public accountability. Interdisciplinary and comparative research examining the interaction between institutions, policy processes, and socio-economic development is strongly encouraged.
