A round-table learning about what works and what doesn't work for holding governments to account through direct citizen engagement in Africa, based on the experiences of the Mwananchi Programme.
On Wednesday, ODI hosted a great discussion on half-won revolutions, rivers that run deep and things that are obvious and yet hard to do. We were discussing the relationship between politics and development, what, in their excellent new book,Tom Carothers and Diane de Gramont call ‘the almost revolution’.

ODI are delighted to host Thomas Carothers and Diane de Gramont who will present insights from their new book that assesses the progress and pitfalls of the attempted politics revolution in development aid. The event contributes to ongoing dialogue and analysis hosted by ODI on the politics of public goods and service provision, and provides an opportunity to reflect on a range of experience, from a number of sectors, in developing more politically smart aid approaches.
