Government officials and policy makers from the African countries of Cameroon, Mali and Senegal will spend Nov. 9-23 visiting the community and participating in workshops on decentralization and local democracy. The group is being hosted by the Center for Democracy and Development at the McCormack Institute of the University of Massachusetts Boston.
Media are welcome.
The McCormack Institute is able to host the 15 delegates thanks to a grant from the United States Information Agency designed to address issues related to decentralization, citizen empowerment and government responsiveness.
