Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Volume I of a 4 volume report on African chieftaincy in the age of AIDS, gender and development. Traditional leaders are re-inventing themselves and their offices in terms of how they promote development for their communities. The IDRC-funded research found that in Botswana, Ghana and South Africa, traditional leaders remain, for a variety of reasons, important to the design and implementation of development regardless of whether or not traditional leaders have statutory jurisdiction granted by the post-colonial state. Traditional leaders seek to be active collaborators in development interventions.. International Development Research Centre of Canada (IDRC) | |||||||||||||
