Add to ORKGThis 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 Soc...
