Is democratic governance is well on the way to becoming a global
entitlement, one that is increasingly promoted and protected by the
collective international process? This work examines the
interrelationship between governance and poverty alleviation in
Africa and the impact of democratic reform on this relationship.
There has been a new approach to the question of governance in
Africa on the part of the international community. Economic aid and
other forms of financial assistance are conditional on good
governance. African states themselves in the New Partnership for
African Development (NEPAD) have recognized good governance as a
precondition to development. They have devised standards for
economic and political governance. Democratic reform in Africa has
been slow, difficult and at times painful. Nevertheless, sufficient
time has passedto begin to assess what progress, if any, Africa has
made in addressing the need for the consolidation of democratic
reform and the resolution of considerable developmental challenges.
