    The Politics of Poverty: Elites, Citizens and States Findings from ten years of DFID-funded research on Governance and Fragile States 2001–2010 A Synthesis Paper Acknowledgements This paper was written by DFID Research and Evidence Division Staff, with help and advice from Graeme Ramshaw of IDS and from the directors and staff of the four Re­ search centres. Disclaimer: This synthesis presents some key findings of DFID-funded research and the resulting policy recommendations of the researchers: it does not necessarily reflect DFID policy. Cover Photo: Justice and Peace Commissioners, Masisi, DR Congo. © Sarah MacGregor / DFID The Politics of Poverty: Elites, Citizens, and States EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary Evidence shows that in order to deliver sustainable international development we must be able to understand and work with its politics. Governance describes the way countries and societies manage their affairs politically and the way power and authority are exercised. For the poorest and most vulnerable, the difference that good, or particularly bad, governance, makes to their lives is profound: the inability of government institutions to prevent conflict, provide basic security, or basic services can have life-or-death consequences; lack of opportunity can prevent generations of poor families from lifting themselves out of poverty; and the inability to grow economically and collect taxes can keep countries trapped in a cycle of aid-dependency. Understanding governance, therefore, is central to achieving development and ending conflict. During the 1990s donors came to realise that development required better ‘governance’, and DFID recognised early on the need to work with the research community to identify ways of improving governance for better development outcomes.

  • PDF Good Governance, Bad Governance
    RESEARCH ASSOCIATION for INTERDISCIPLINARY RMARA CH I 2021S STUDIES DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4640767 Good Governance, Bad Governance: The Politics of Coronavirus Pandemic in Nigeria Muyiwa Samuel Adedayo The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper examines the influence of good governance on coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria. The kernel of this article is the intrinsic nexus between good governance, bad governance and coronavirus pandemic in a democratic state. It reviews articles on how democracy has influenced good governance and/or promotes bad governance. It examines the individual perspective and understanding of the virus, state of lockdown and the welfare of the populace by the political leaders; to what extent is the palliative being distributed among other welfare packages useful to the populace. The paper clearly explained the notion of good governance in the context of the Nigerian milieu and links it with how welfare of the citizens could assist in building their confidence. The paper provided evidence from around the world of the nexus between the three variables under examination and it shows that there is a yawning gap in trust and accountability between citizens and the government because the need of the populace has overtime been ignored and neglected by government. This is evident in that Nigeria is yet to comply with the inextricable indices of good governance due to lack of trust and committed leadership. The paper recommended amongst others that government and political leaders, as well as the institutions in the country, must strive to promote participatory, consensus-oriented, accountability, transparency, responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency; equitable, inclusive and follows the rule of law to deliver good governance in Nigeria, and Africa in general.

  • Political Corruption and Governance
    Political Corruption and Governance Series Editors Dan Hough University of Sussex Brighton, UK Paul M. Heywood University of Nottingham Nottingham, UK This series aims to analyse the nature and scope of, as well as possible remedies for, political corruption. The rise to prominence over the last 20 years of corruption-related problems and of the ‘good governance’ agenda as the principal means to tackle them has led to the develop- ment of a plethora of (national and international) policy proposals, inter- national agreements and anti-corruption programmes and initiatives. National governments, international organisations and NGOs all now claim to take very seriously the need to tackle issues of corruption. It is thus unsurprising that over couple of decades, a signifcant body of work with a wide and varied focus has been published in academic journals and in international discussion papers. This series seeks to provide a forum through which to address this growing body of literature. It invites not just in-depth single country analyses of corruption and attempts to com- bat it, but also comparative studies that explore the experiences of dif- ferent states (or regions) in dealing with different types of corruption. We also invite monographs that take an overtly thematic focus, analysing trends and developments in one type of corruption across either time or space, as well as theoretically informed analysis of discrete events.

We would all be better off, and citizens of many developing countries would be much better off, if public life were conducted within institutions that were fair, judicious, transparent, accountable, participatory, responsive, well-managed, and efficient. For the millions of people throughout the world who live in conditions of public insecurity and instability, corruption, abuse of law, public service failure, poverty, and inequality, good governance is a mighty beacon of what ought to be. Due to this intuitive appeal, good governance has grown rapidly to become a major ingredient in analyses of what’s missing in countries struggling for economic and political development. Researchers have adopted the concept as a way of exploring institutional failure and constraints on growth.

The concept of local governance has emerged due to the expansion of state functions and duties, and in order to consolidate citizens’ rights to and participation in the management of their affairs. This means that citizens conduct their affairs by themselves within a particular local authority, thus achieving the purpose of creating local authorities which is in the division of responsibilities and powers between the central government and local areas. Characteristics of Local Government • Autonomy; which means governing a community of specific geographical area in all matters pertaining to the affairs of its population. • Local governance requires members of local councils to be elected by the population of that community who themselves are in the best place to know their needs in contrast to other forms of public administration characterized by subordination to the central authority. Administrative Centralization Centralization means the reservation of all powers in the hands of one governing body in all parts of the state. This means that only one authority in the state undertakes the same functions by itself or by staff that do not enjoy any authority themselves. In other words, centralization confines state administrative functions to the representatives of the central government in the capital (i.e.

  • Politics, Power, and Accountability: Addressing the Elephant in the Room in the Quest for Civil Society Organizations’ Right to Freedom of Association
    International Journal of Not-for-Profit Law / vol. 16, no. 2, December 2014 / 34 Civil Society in Africa POLITICS, POWER, AND ACCOUNTABILITY: ADDRESSING THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IN THE QUEST FOR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS’ RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION * DR. MARIA NASSALI 1. Introduction The right to freedom of association is increasingly being illuminated in the international human rights arena, as demonstrated by the adoption of the Human Rights Defenders Declaration by the General Assembly in 1998 and the establishment of the mandate of Special Rapporteur on the same issue in 2010.1 Simultaneously, there is an alarming global trend of clamping down on independent civil society spaces under the guise of combating terrorism, defending government’s sovereignty, and safeguarding the public from bad governance of civil society organizations (CSOs).2 In the East African region, since September 11, 2001, there is an apprehension that CSOs can facilitate terrorism. Further, following the Arab and North Africa springs of 2012, East African governments have become intolerant to social protests.3 Government perceives CSOs as partners, appendages of government, foreign stooges, economic saboteurs, inciters of violence, or watchdogs, depending on the nature of their activities. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has publicly castigated CSOs with alternative views as “internal saboteurs and acting on behalf of foreign interests.”4 Given that participation in associational life promotes political consciousness and encourages more involvement in politics, through voting, campaigning, and willingness to stand for elective office, it is one of the most restricted rights because it threatens those in power.5 As articulated by the former Chief Justice of Australia, Justice Gleeson, because government claim to represent the will of the people, it does not like to be checked and balanced which it deems as a threat or challenge to its power.6 * Maria Nassali has a Doctorate in Law from the University of Pretoria.

  • A Condition for Inclusive Growth and Good Governance 21 │
    2. INTEGRITY: A CONDITION FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND GOOD GOVERNANCE 21 │ 2. Integrity: A condition for inclusive growth and good governance Despite the marked heterogeneity in Latin America, the region also shares common characteristics and challenges. Addressing these challenges requires tackling both social and economic aspects, especially raising productivity and diminishing inequalities. In turn, to achieve such an inclusive growth agenda and make the respective economic and social policies effective, governance is a key ingredient. Governance determines how policies are made and how they are implemented. In recognition of their relevance for most countries individually, as well as for the region as a whole, the OECD LAC Regional Programme has adopted the following three challenges as thematic priorities: increasing productivity, enhancing social inclusion, and strengthening institutions and governance. Public integrity stands as a necessary condition to move the region forward towards the fulfilment of each of these priorities and catalyse the wellbeing of its citizens. 2.1. Integrity and governance: From vicious to virtuous cycles Corruption is one of the main obstacles to good governance. By biasing the decisions of public and private actors, corruption weakens governance and undermines government efficiency (Figure 2.1). Causality between corruption and weak governance, however, is not straightforward. It would be too simplistic to state that corruption is a consequence of weak governance or that weak governance is a consequence of corruption. Both are true. The relationship between corruption, capture and bad governance is a vicious cycle. On the one hand, vulnerabilities in governance structures and processes due to lack of integrity, transparency and accountability open opportunities for corrupt practices and capture.

  • Development in Africa Through Governance and Partnerships
    Both good governance and functional partnerships are regarded as important goals of development in their own right. They are also considered to be necessary in building favourable environment and productive overall framework for development. In the Finnish development assistance, governance and partnerships are signifi cant principles in the White Paper on Development Policy. Development in Africa through Governance and Partnerships and Governance through Africa in Development This study aims to improve understanding of conceptual and operational aspects of governance and partnerships. The perspective is that of development aid recipients in Eastern Africa. The main focus was to listen and collect views and opinions of representatives of Ethiopian and Kenyan governments and of civil society. The civil servants who were interviewed worked in six different ministries: foreign affairs, fi nance, water, trade, education and justice. The civil society interviewees came from non- governmental organizations and professional associations, chambers of commerce, and academia. One-third of the interviewed were employees of intergovernmental organisations and the European Union. During the study a total of 76 people were interviewed in Ethiopia and Kenya. The study presents defi nitions on governance and partnerships. It also includes ideas and thoughts on how those could be promoted by development aid programmes at the national, regional and international levels.
