Conference Report – Democratization in Africa: What Progress Toward Institutionalization?

National Intelligence Council Conference Report: Democratization in Africa: What Progress Toward Institutionalization? February 2008.

  • “The purpose of the conference was to review and assess the trajectories of African states toward, or away, from increased institutionalization of democratic processes and practices. The conference was designed so that the review and assessment would be based on interactions among a diverse set of players—including African researchers and practitioners of democracy, ranking US academic experts on political change in Africa, US democracy
    promotion professionals, and US Government analysts and diplomats. The conference was unprecedented for its combination of diversity of expertise and depth of investigation into the causal factors and constraints affecting democratization and democratic backsliding in Sub Saharan Africa. With about 50 participants and 15 African countries represented, the conference deliberations occurred for two days, at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Center, in Accra, 4-6 October 2007.”
