Résumé
La réforme du secteur public (RSP) connait une grande popularité dans les pays africains. Cependant, la mauvaise compréhension de la base philosophique des réformes a conduit de nombreux pays africains à assimiler la RSP à la privati- sation et la commercialisation des entreprises publiques, la réduction des effectifs de la fonction publique et la guerre contre la corruption. Bien que de nombreux pays africains poursuivent avec la vigueur nécessaire ces politiques qui ont été induites à la fois par leurs anciens maîtres coloniaux et leurs supposés alliés en matière d’affaires internationales, il y’a eu peu ou pas de succès par rapport à l’ère pré-RSP. Ainsi, l’objectif de cet article est de mettre en évidence, en termes clairs, que la présente RSP renforce le contrôle des économies et des politiques africaines par les institutions de Bretton Woods, la liquidation des entreprises publiques au profit des entreprises multinationales, l’émigration des meilleurs cerveaux africains vers l’Europe et l’Amérique, la corruption et le néo- colonialisme. Ce document préconise essentiellement une nouvelle réflexion philosophique sur la RSP. Celle-ci va commencer avec la réforme de l’esprit des dirigeants africains pour réformer le corps politique. L’étude montre que la RSP en Afrique qui ne tient pas compte de l’éthique, des valeurs communes et des situa- tions particulières des différents pays africains, est vouée à l’échec.
