Résumé
Cet article met l’accent sur la très actuelle question de l’évolution des modes et des pratiques de la fourniture de services publics en Afrique. L’auteur propose une analyse critique et un examen de l’ampleur avec laquelle la fourniture de services publics est en train d’être entreprise par le secteur privé (privatisation) et les agences exécutives (agentification) en Tanzanie, ainsi que les implications connexes pour le leadership en matière de gestion. Il a été découvert dans l’étude que durant la dernière décennie, la Tanzanie a pris de nombreuses mesures de grande envergure et audacieuses pour réformer son secteur public et améliorer la performance des fonctionnaires. Parmi les réformes notables, figure la participa- tion du secteur privé et des agences exécutives dans la fourniture de services non essentiels à travers l’initiative de la participation du secteur privé (PSP). Il est également démontré, à travers cette étude que la privatisation et l’«agentification» de la fourniture de services publics en Tanzanie a un certain nombre d’implications pour le leadership en matière de gestion dans le secteur public, le secteur privé et les agences exécutives concernées.
Finalement, l’étude propose une bonne gestion des institutions impliquées dans la fourniture de services comme étant un élément essentiel pour l’atteinte des objectifs de la «privatisation» et de l’«agentification» de la fourniture de services.
