Making Decentralization Work for Women in Uganda Summary:Author Lakwo,Alfred Issue Date 2009 Publisher African Studies Centre, Leiden Is part of Series African studies collection, ISSN 1876018X Pages 144 This book is about engendering local governance. It explores the euphoria with which Uganda's decentralization policy took centre stage as a sufficient driver to engender local development responsiveness and accountability. Using a case study of AFARD in Nebbi district, it shows first that decentralized governance is gendered and technocratic as grassroots women's effective participation is lacking. Second, it shows that the insertion of women in local governance is merely a symbolic political gesture lacking the effective representation by women leaders of women's constituency. The book concludes that political capability and citizenship building is an effective bridge to engendering local governance. - Alfred Lakwo obtained his PhD in Social Sciences in 2007 at Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Currently he is Programme Director of the NGO Agency for Accelerated Regional Development (AFARD) in West Nile, Uganda. NEWER EBOOKS
