Brynard, P.A. (Petrus)
Failures in service delivery or policy outcomes are in some instances ascribed to single and linear causes. Similarly, the successes of policy outcomes are seemingly due to one success factor. This article attempts to indicate the multiple factors influencing implementation outcomes. The emphasis of multiplicity provides a clearer understanding of real policy implementation. Investigation
into multiple policy actors and the relation with structures and outcomes provide a meaningful perspective on policy implementation.

The practice of inter-governmental relations ( IGR) and its management has become an important element for facilitating service delivery in the public service. This paper departs from the premise that IGR presents an opportunity for improved service delivery that is yet to be fully harnessed. In
order to fully actualise the facilitative potential that is inherent in IGR, it has become essential to identify critical elements that can assist public administration practitioners to harness the possible
gains that can be made through effective IGR management. These critical elements are identified
in this article and are linked to the generic activities of public administration which are described
as involving decision-making, planning, advising, co-ordination, conciliation, arbitration, command
and data gathering through which government carries out its responsibilities.
The article commences with an overview of the case study contexts - the Nigerian public service and the South African public service. This contextualisation provides an opportunity to highlight and present cross-country findings (lie, 2006: 146-196) that may assist in improving IGR effectiveness in both federalist and unitary states.

Kuye, Jerry O.
The evaluation of higher education at the cluster of a decade of democracy should clearly note the starting point of governmental policy in all sectors of society. It is imperative to take note of the fact that the decade spanning 1994 to 2004 does not represent a stagnant stage in policy development in South Africa. The year 1994 signifies a radical departure from the past regarding all policies,
financing systems, organisational structures, human resource utilisation and democratically based representivity and public accountability.
