@Sarah_Montague @stephensackur @TheZeinabBadawi Tnx for keeping HardTalk hard. Liberia under Pres. Weah has made strides in tackling some of the challenges that have kept the country backward. It would be great to see you speak with our President. 🙏🏽

South Africa, a model for decentralisation and cooperative governance on the African continent, signs the African Charter on Decentralisation, becoming the 18th country to do so. A boost for continental efforts... @AfricanSchool_D

Day 5 of the Inaugural ASD
First Presentation: County Governments and Development in Kenya - Dr. John Mutakha Kangu

My takeaway: For countries whose decentralisation reform is nascent, the Kenyan model provides guidance on things to borrow and avoid.

[Jaap de Visser @jdevisser]

Decentralisation is a concept easily thrown around, (ab)used, and also avoided, often without regard for the complexity that it represents. Yet, many countries on the continent are engaged in it, in one way or another. This 1st Factsheet in our new series explains the concept.

[African School on Decentralisation @AfricanSchool_D]

Today we hold Day 3 of the African School on Decentralisation. We had a lively panel discussion on ‘Developmental Local Government’: What is its nature and are there pre-conditions for local authorities to deliver on that mandate’ @AddisAbabaUni @UWC_DOI @UWCLawFaculty

[Samuel Fayia Johnson @SFayiahJohnson]

My takeaway from Prof. Eva Besler's presentation:
Owing to the principle of shared rule which places emphasis on the participation of all levels (central and subnational), we should not always think of decentralisation as the opposite of centralisation. @AfricanSchool_D

[Dr Michelle Rufaro Maziwisa @DrMaziwisa]

Naturally this would be my first today, Prof Eva Maria Belser explaining the low representation of women in governance. Speaking on decentralisation and development, she asks what kind of transformation do we want in order to improve livelihoods. @AfricanSchool_D

Dr. Conrad Bosire Kenya 🇰🇪 discusses the African Charter on Decentralisation in Africa - pressure for ratification will most likely come from the bottom-up, from the local governments themselves that want it to be on the Agenda @BosireConrad #ASD2021 #AfricanDecentralisation
