Papers on the Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance in Africa
AfriMAP is pleased to publish articles by Solomon Ebobrah, Edward McMahon, Nadjita Francis Ngarhodjim and Sekai Saungweme, received in response to our call for papers on the Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance in Africa, adopted by heads of state at the AU summit in January 2007. The articles – three in English and one in French—include comparisons with the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance and the Inter-American Democratic Charter, as well as critical analysis of the Charter’s content and its enforcement measures. Translations will be available soon. In addition, AfriMAP has published an article (in English and French) received from Mali on the role of civil society in improving governance. All the articles are available here: http://www.afrimap.org/papers.php.
