Have you ever consulted your leaders about the construction or maintenance of your community roads?
BACKGROUND
Ideally, members of a
community should be able to challenge their leaders on matters of governance.
For example, if a government funded school has pit latrines in a poor state,
and yet parents are also paying school fees, the community should demand an
explanation from the officials responsible.
Realistically, this is
difficult for many reasons: people may not know they have a right to demand
accountability, others may not know where to demand this accountability from,
and lastly citizens in general do not monitor service delivery in their
communities.
In January 2011, an in
depth assessment of the competence of the citizens in the Rwenzori region by
the RWECO team revealed that there has been increased
awareness of the community through the various channels that RWECO employed
such as radio, community meetings, forum theatre, visibility materials and
publications; there was also increased ability of the communities to manage and
own their own development initiatives such as maintaining of roads which was
rated at 65%.
