Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This brief examines one particular criticism of Constituency Development Funds (CDFs): they infringe upon the doctrine of separation of powers. It also discusses whether CDFs adhere to other important constitutional principles that are essential for maintaining democracy and good governance, specifically the rule of law and the need for public officials to avoid conflicts of interest. [Policy Brief 12].
