END OF INTERNSHIP REPORT

In this report, I define civil society as consisting of community-based organizations, traditional leaders, implementing NGOs, unions, business associations, religious organizations, independent media, student groups, co-operatives, and other associational groups. Civil society's role in decentralised and democratic governance has four major functions:

-Representing and advocating for the diversity of community interests
-Delivering services in education, health and other social sectors
-Partnering with government in development planning and promoting understanding of decentralisation
-Acting as a watchdog over government
