Abstract
This study is the second phase of an
analysis of local governance in Angola. The first phase
aimed to identify factors enabling and constraining local
governance, from the point of view of local government and
of civil society. Phase one also identified opportunities
for reinforcing state-citizen co-productive relationships.
The second phase considers how current programs are dealing
with the structural constraints and opportunities identified
during phase one. The study aimed to be practice based and
produce recommendations firmly based in local reality. The
study is part of a three-country analysis by the World Bank,
including the Philippines and Zambia, in addition to Angola.
The three country studies followed the same questionnaire
and gathered similar information to allow for comparative
analysis. While the study highlights a variety of programs
aimed at strengthening local government-civil society
relationships, a note of caution is essential. Most of these
programs are still in the relatively early stages and are
continuing to identify the most effective approaches in
overcoming constraints. Sustainability remains a live
question for most and while the study tries to address this
issue, further analysis will be required in the future.
