The Sahel International Journal of Administration and Governance (SIJAG) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing rigorous and policy-relevant scholarship on administration, governance, public policy and institutional development. The journal brings together researchers, policymakers and practitioners to examine how institutions are designed, governed and reformed, and how public decisions shape development outcomes.
SIJAG welcomes theoretically informed, methodologically sound and ethically conducted research from all regions of the world. It has a particular interest in Africa and the Sahel, including scholarship that places experiences from these regions in comparative and global perspective. The journal does not privilege any country, institution, methodological tradition or political position.
SIJAG is an interdisciplinary scholarly journal established to advance research and informed debate on the institutions, actors, rules and administrative practices that shape collective decision-making and public value. It publishes work that explains governance problems, evaluates policies and programmes, tests and develops theory, improves research methods, and generates credible lessons for policy and practice.
