‘Inclusive governance’ is the rising star of development lingo in a time of rising authoritarianism and shrinking civic space. But do the Global North and Global South share a common understanding of what it is, and are development actors aware of what it takes to support this?
In this episode, thinktank ECDPM’s Head of Democratic Governance, Jean Bossuyt, wrote a position paper on this concept for Dutch policy makers and discusses this with Amagoin Keita, Director of Action Research Groupe ODYSSEE and Former Advisor of Mali's 'Decentralization' Minister. They discuss the possible trade-offs between inclusive governance and quick development results and stability, but also its necessity for sustainable interventions.
