Public Policy and Environmental Protection in Africa

More about the book

The research focuses on identifying public policy indicators that enhance environmental protection in Africa, specifically targeting deforestation and pollution control. Utilizing Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) and Double Least Squares (DLS), the study analyzes data from 28 African countries between 2002 and 2016. Findings reveal that while corruption control and government efficiency aid in reducing deforestation, they do not significantly impact pollution control. Political stability is highlighted as a crucial factor for environmental improvement, emphasizing the need for African nations to foster a peaceful and stable governance environment.
