Recipe for poverty

Introduction The last episode of this treatise examined democracy as a vehicle to poverty reduction and later examined the idea that good governance is a sine quo non to poverty reduction. This week, we shall continue with our last discussion and later take a look at key governance indicators and poverty reduction. Thereafter, we shall consider Good Governance and Poverty Reduction: The Bostwana Example, with emphasis on Constitutional Setting and Separation of Powers; A Decentralised and Consultative Governance System; Accountability, Transparency and Good Governance; and The Roles of Non-State Actors. We shall then conclude by asserting that good governance cannot be divorced from good leadership. Enjoy.
