Abstract:Civil society organizations, governance and regional integration are seen as interlinked and it is the positive impact of this linkage which is the focus of the present collective publication. The researchers met at a conference in Addis Ababa organized by the Development Policy Management Forum (DPMF) on 27-29 March 2006. Their contributions are arranged in three parts. Part 1 (6 chapters) deals with conceptual, theoretical, methodological and historical issues on the broad theme of civil society, governance and regional integration in Africa. Part 2 (9 chapters) examines various dimensions of the politics of development and integration. The section includes case studies of the use of indigenous knowledge to strengthen local governance and development in Nigeria, the dependency of African NGOs on external funding and the impact on financial governance and donor evaluation of their performance, NEPAD's role in development, the functionality of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), the engagement of NGOs in Zimbabwe in World Trade Organization issues, empowering young people in Kenya through civic service, the problems of Nigeria's police force and the role of community-based security institutions, and public-private partnerships for service delivery (water supply and sanitation). Part 3 (3 chapters) looks at integration theory and processes as well as the desirability of a training programme in African integration.
