Innovative financing schemes in public management comprise provisions of funds for public expenditure by taxation, user charges, borrowing or other fundraising in a novel way. Scholarly research regarding public finance already appeared in the 16th century, but the role of public funding schemes became much more important in the last decades. Theoretical frameworks are related to political, economic, legal and administrative aspects. Although innovation and public management might be seen as antithetical, there is an emerging practice of innovative financing tools both in highly-industrialised economies and developing countries. Examples for novel mechanisms raising money are green bonds, onshore local currency financing, public private partnerships (PPPs) and resource-financed infrastructure. Public policy tools include innovation financing for digital infrastructure or export credits for trade-driven innovation, often focusing on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including climate action.
Comparing anomalies and exceptions to multilateral dysfunction across a number of spheres of world politics, the book chapter explores pathways through and beyond gridlock in trade. It provides a vital new perspective on world politics as well as a practical guide for positive change in global policy.
To successfully support private sector development in Africa by the use of trade and export promotion instruments, a comprehensive policy framework is crucial. Different institutional setups for development support show different levels of resilience and effectiveness in coping with the economic conditions they are exposed to. However, there is strong evidence that managing the interplay of three fundamental building blocks – public policy, focus areas, strategic objectives and critical success factors as well as institutions, is the key to crafting sustainable and responsive economies. Export plays a significant role in the national economy, and innovative and integrated government financing instruments have to successfully support the competitiveness of national companies in the global economy. Financing and supporting foreign trade with private businesses in Africa occupies a pivotal role, impacting from new product development and job creation in developed countries through economic growth and human development in African countries.
