Local Democracy Talk: The double-edged sword of participation in post-conflict contexts 

This webinar explores how local inclusion in post-conflict societies can both strengthen democracy and reinforce divisions - and what to do about it.
It addresses challenges with community participation at the local by:
A research presentation by authors Hanna Leonardsson and Jean-Bosco Habyarimana, on key findings and implications of the study.
Insider perspectives from Machakos County government by Augustine Kyalo Mutiso, on Kenyan decentralization and community engagement.
Discussion/Q&A focused on the role of civil society in alternative pathways for influence, and on challenges presented by varying decentralization structures.
