The only way for us to move forward is to ensure good governance – the way we manage our economy, our social life, our legal structures and institutions – that is the basis for development. We cannot rely on people to come and feed our poor or treat our sick. This is the responsibility of our governments. int_development_effectiveness african_governance_architecture development_policy policy_news dpir governance Wed, 17 Jul 2013 13:44:50 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/fbbad560a8bd90bc38720af5ab8d7ba7#cotonou_online http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jul/15/fragile-states-south-sudan?utm_source=ODI_Update&utm_medium=feed http://del.icio.us/url/fbbad560a8bd90bc38720af5ab8d7ba7 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/fbbad560a8bd90bc38720af5ab8d7ba7 cotonou_online's links One of the pillars of this approach to tackling fragility is self-assessment that brings together stakeholders from government, political parties, civil society groups and the private sector to discuss progress in five areas; political legitimacy, security, justice, economic foundations and public services.

Through an expert assessment methodology, the project evaluates both legal frameworks and the practical implementation and enforcement of those frameworks across various categories, including safety and the rule of law, sustainable economic opportunity, and human development. This effort will require a global team of journalists, researchers and subject matter experts across Africa to conduct original research and gather data that will feed into the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.

One immediate concern has been the implications of these developments for the African Union (AU) and its member states. Would overall political dynamics in the AU be changed? Would the most powerful member states use the altered circumstances to enhance their influence on AU policies andframeworks? What would the impact be for the AU's overall authority? In this Discussion Paper series, three edited papers are presented that tackle AU political and institutional dynamics in light of the Arab revolts. A particular puzzle addressed is the current postures of South Africa,Ethiopia and Algeria within the AU. A separate analysis of Nigeria's role was published earlier in the NAI-FOI Lecture Series on African Security. african_governance_architecture enlargement policy_news dpir international_relations governance au Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:16:49 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/aa1b76879dc17785f76e99eafabc6349#cotonou_online http://www.iag-agi.org/spip/Key-Resolutions-of-the-Technical,3998.html http://del.icio.us/url/aa1b76879dc17785f76e99eafabc6349 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/aa1b76879dc17785f76e99eafabc6349 cotonou_online's links They agreed to establish a Committee to review the key documents of the Platform.

In a person’s life, that’s a major milestone. Some are either facing a mid-life crisis or looking back happily at their busy life’s accomplishments, hoping for a peaceful future. So it goes for the AU - turning 50 is a milestone, although one can say that for an institution with 53 relatively young independent states, it is an early milestone. Some progress has been achieved and much remains to be done. ECDPM’s Isabelle Ramdoo’s blog considers three elements - politics and economics in the making, current internal and external dynamics, and the importance of choices to focus on the important things – that will be important to accomplish the objectives set for the next 50 years. african_governance_architecture new_dpir_team eu-au policy_news new_at_ECDPM dpir international_relations au
