| Abstract: | Advocates of participatory approaches to service delivery see devolution
as key to empowering people to take charge of their own affairs.
Participation is portrayed as guaranteeing the delivery of services that are
in line with user preferences. It is assumed that people are keen to
participate in public affairs, that they possess the capacity to do so, and
that all they need is opportunities. Using evidence from ethnographic
research in Uganda, this article questions these views. It shows that, to
succeed in the long term, devolution and participation must take place in
the context of a strong state, able to ensure consistent regulation, and a
well-informed public backed up by a participatory political culture |
