Highlights from the Open Governance, Open Dialogue Side Event
As we look ahead into the next decade of devolution, there is need to:
1️⃣ Strengthen devolved governance mechanisms.
2️⃣ Redefine citizens’ place in decision-making.
3️⃣ Fuel intentional collaboration & dialogue.

@EOGADA has a lot of potential as an advocate if one can tame the pompousness that obscures effective communication. Learn a thing or two from your senior that came just before you on channeling that potential.
@kamiwatahi @c_kiprono_ @chapatimistress No way I'm believing that. Shoot a video with the two of you in it. Otherwise, I think it's just two personas/characters of the same person.
