In 2015, The World Economic Forum (WEF) on Africa heard that there’s hope for Africa’s democracy, provided that there is robust engagement with civil society on issues of good governance and accountability.
This is the view of discussion panel member, Hassane Cisse, Global Practice Director, Governance and Inclusive Institutions at the World Bank. Cisse is also with the Global Agenda Council on Justice.
He believes that the demand for good governance is much stronger than before, adding that political leaders now know that “if you don’t listen to the demand of the masses, you will pay at the ballot box.”
The discussion, held under the theme, Safeguarding Africa’s Democracy, also featured Founder and Executive Chair at the Mandela Institute for Development Studies as well as Meta Council on Inclusive Growth’s Nkosana Moyo.
