ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores democratisation and political culture, governance and policy implementation and activism, aid and accountability. It describes constitutional guarantees and regulatory and operational challenges and dilemmas related to enforcing fundamental rights. The book provides strategies to collectively organise voters and hold authorities to account through organisational behaviour and practices as well as specific awareness campaigns. It discusses the attitudinal views of democratic consolidation and examines the extent of anti-democratic behaviour and attitudes between political actors and the general public. The book examines how and to what extent these parties have shaped the country’s democratic and development trajectories. It demonstrates most notably the cases related to fiscal decentralisation, youth employment policy and the gender equality campaign typical challenges to successful implementation.
