As the world marked the second anniversary of COVID-19 in March, “Build Back Better” had impacted the policy lexicon that played out in real people’s lives. But what does it take to implement such policy? In public administration education discourse, developing nations do not receive as much attention in mainstream outlets. The article extends the discourse by exploring and connecting public sector work force policy to public administration education and public service training in Ghana.

The article concludes by proposing a critical pedagogy-inspired curriculum that integrates social equity and blends unique domestic need with global concerns.
