| dc.description.abstract | This working paper is a desk study about mechanisms of popular participation in public and private service delivery in developing countries with a particular reference to countries in Ssssub-Saharan Africa. It concludes that because of the patrimonial character of most African states and because of their weak and fragmented civil societies, the potential for effective popular participation in institutional public bodies at district levels is not very high. Powerful elite groups frequently dominate and manipulate assemblies' decision-making procedures ensuring that the interests of the disadvantaged groups are effectively ignored. It further concludes that there are large variations in citizen involvement in social funds. It is in the field of operation and maintenance that the social funds hold most promise in terms of popular involvement. | no_NB |
