Abstract
It will soon be 20 years since the African states started moving to the rhythm of good governance, the latest paradigm of development aid, popularized in 1992 by the World Bank2 and recently set up as a “fundamental truth” by the president of the United States, Barack Obama. In a speech delivered on July 11, 2009, before the Ghanaian parliament, Obama reminded his audience that “development depends upon good governance,” and “No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery.”
(…) Civil society is not an opposition party. It plays the role of criticism, of denunciation, but also constitutes a proactive force to change things. Someone said that “le grand soir” (the big night), the revolution, it’s for political parties. Early morning, breakfast and lunch, is for civil society, it’s every day.1
