BARRIERS TO ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE
Many conflicts in development can be understood as struggles by the poor to hold
the powerful to account. Contests over the rights and responsibilities of actors in

resources. How these conflicts are played out has enormous implications for efforts to
tackle poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals1.
