Book excerpt: Elites and the Politics of Accountability in Africa examines the ways that accountability offers an effective interpretive lens to the social, cultural, and institutional struggles of both the elites and ordinary citizens in Africa. Each chapter investigates questions of power, its public deliberation, and its negotiation in Africa by studying elites through the framework of accountability. The book enters conversations about political subjectivity and agency, especially from ongoing struggles around identities and belonging, as well as representation and legitimacy. Who speaks to whom? And on whose behalf do they speak? The contributors to this volume offer careful analyses of how such concerns are embedded in wider forms of cultural, social, and institutional discussions about transparency, collective responsibility, community, and public decision-making processes. These concerns affect prospects for democratic oversight, as well as questions of alienation, exclusivity, privilege and democratic deficit. The book situates our understanding of the emergence, meaning, and conceptual relevance of elite accountability, to study political practices in Africa. It then juxtaposes this contextualization of accountability in relation to the practices of African elites. Elites and the Politics of Accountability in Africa offers fresh, dynamic, and multifarious accounts of elites and their practices of accountability and locally plausible self-legitimation, as well as illuminating accounts of contemporary African elites in relation to their socially and historicallysituated outcomes of contingency, composition, negotiation, and compromise.

This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly argued that bargaining between citizens and governments over tax collection can provide a foundation for the development of responsive and accountable governance in developing countries. However, while intuitively attractive, surprisingly little research has captured the reality and complexity of this relationship in practice. This book provides the most complete treatment of the connections between taxation and accountability in developing countries, providing both new evidence and an invaluable starting point for future research. Drawing on cross-country econometric evidence and detailed case studies from Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia, Wilson Prichard shows that reliance on taxation has, in fact, increased responsiveness and accountability by expanding the political power wielded by taxpayers. Critically, however, processes of tax bargaining have been highly varied, frequently long term and contextually contingent. Capturing this diversity provides novel insight into politics in developing countries and how tax reform can be designed to encourage broader governance gains.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, there has been a recurrent demand for accountability by citizens and this has spearheaded the waves of public sector reforms conducted by various governments to meet these increasing demands. This demand for vertical accountability will ensure efficiency and effectiveness, and transparency in the usage of the citizen's resource. Additionally, it builds a relationship of trust, integrity as well as legitimize the activities of public administrators at the selected Ministries. The study sought to ascertain the facilitators, limitations, and benefits to effective vertical accountability. A qualitative research approach and a case study research design was adopted. The study sampled twenty directors from the selected Ministries and ten ordinary citizens for an in-depth interview using a qualitative research design. From empirical evidence, the study found that right to information, financial disclosure of income, assets, and interest, meritbased recruitment, proper record-based management, performance-based evaluation, training, and development as well as ethical leadership are the facilitators of effective vertical accountability in the selected Ministries. However, there are some factors that have limited the effectiveness of vertical accountability at the selected Ministries such as corruption, nepotism, patronage and clientelism, lack of resource availability, absence of political will and commitment, conflict of interest, and in addition weak compliant mechanisms. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that there should be effective right to information, political commitment and resourced anti-corruption agencies to strengthen vertical accountability at the selected MDAs.Also, government should provide the requisite resource needed to enhance the performance as well as promote professionalism of recruitment and appointment at the selected ministries.

Book excerpt: The possession of natural resource wealth has often turn out to be a curse rather than a blessing to many countries. The discovery of oil and gas resources in Ghana has brought to the fore debates about how best to manage it to the benefit of the citizens. Transparency and accountability has been identified as key to prudent resource governance not only in the case of Ghana but globally. At the heart of transparency and accountability however is the availability of information to the citizens which can enable them to monitor the behaviour of governments. This research examined how the actual implementation of transparency and accountability initiatives is impacted by people's access to information. Specifically, it investigated how people access information, their capacities and willingness to process the information in order to hold government to account. The book should be especially useful to Civil Society organizations within the extractive sector, International community and national governments.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The [Ghanaian] Constitution recognizes decentralization as one of the keys to realizing the ideals of democracy, including government accountability and responsiveness, and lays down the legal regime for its implementation. Even so, the Constitution vests enormous political power in the president by assigning him the responsibility of appointing all mayors (metropolitan and municipal chief executives) and district chief executives – collectively known as MMDCEs – as well as one-third of local councillors .... In practice, this arrangement has allowed the ruling political party to foist political appointees on a supposed non-partisan structure .... This paper uses data from the 2017 Afrobarometer survey in Ghana to explore three questions and discuss related policy considerations: 1. Are Ghanaians supportive of the call to make MMDCE positions elective? 2. What are factors that drive support for or opposition to elective MMDCEs? 3. If Ghanaians support the call for election of MMDCEs, do they recommend partisan or non-partisan elections?"--Page 1.
