Rwanda: Government - Citizen Partnership for Services Delivery in a Post-Conflict Situation: Rwanda Case Study - 2008
The paper analyses how citizens have engaged in contributing towards public health and education in a post-conflict country like Rwanda. It presents two programmes, the Education Fund and the Mutual Health Insurance Scheme, that have engaged citizens in mobilizing resources towards public service delivery and describes how they were initiated, made nation-wide and developed after the genocide examining the national context in which they were formed. The paper examines how and why participants have engaged in and contributed towards public service delivery through these mechanisms. It also discusses the role of decentralization, formalization of programming and community confidence levels, especially as they relate to reconstruction, reconciliation and realignment of values.

International - Engaging Citizens in Post-conflict Reconstruction: Decentralization for Participatory Governance - 2010
The multifaceted challenges of contemporary governance demand a complex account of the ways in which those who are subject to laws and policies should participate in making them. This article develops a framework with which to understand the range of institutional possibilities for that public participation. There are three important dimensions along which mechanisms of participation vary: the scope of participation, mode of communication and decision, and extent of authorization. These dimensions constitute a space in which any particular mechanism of participation can be located.
