Promoting Good Governance in Africa

Corruption and patronage often operate in plain sight rather than covertly. The challenge lies not in a lack of information or awareness among citizens but in the absence of compelling and legitimate avenues for public dissent. In numerous countries, elite networks persist in shielding their members who flout laws, anticipating these individuals will manipulate formal rules to further their group's interests.

Public participation must exert a tangible influence on political decisions for it to genuinely bolster government legitimacy. Unfortunately, this is frequently not the case, as elites find little benefit in fostering political consensus or aligning competing interests to make collectively rational choices.

Despite decentralization reforms leading to the proliferation of local-level institutions, they often need to bring the state closer to the people. Many African states have historically needed more substantial control over peripheral territories, relying instead on informal gatekeepers and traditional authorities to connect with local populations. Both central governments and local gatekeepers need strong incentives to relinquish absolute authority to local-level political institutions.

There are three prevailing beliefs: first, that enhanced transparency will mitigate corruption; second, that fostering citizen participation can elevate the legitimacy of state institutions; and third, that decentralization reforms can bring the government "closer to the people."

Strengthen Diaspora Collaboration for Sustainable Development
