Profile
Matt Andrews is Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. In addition to “Public Financial Management in a Changing World,” he also serves as Faculty Chair of the “Leaders in Development: Managing Change in a Dynamic World” Executive Education program.
His research focuses on public sector reform and participatory governance in developing and transitional governments. Recent articles focus on forging a theoretical understanding of the nontechnical factors influencing success in reform processes. Specific emphasis lies on the informal institutional context of reform, as well as leadership structures within government-wide networks. This research developed out of his work in the provincial government of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa and more recently from his tenure as a Public Sector Specialist working in the Europe and Central Asia Region of the World Bank. He brings this experience to courses on public management and development. He holds a PhD in Public Administration from the Maxwell School, Syracuse University.
