    About this ebook

    This study was set to assess how the impact of democratic processes on development of urban areas in Rwanda. It was very critical view of two concepts (Democracy and Development), and the argument was that while the two elements are organically inter-linked, they may not produce symmetrical results; however, I applied them to the Rwandan context, in urban areas especially in Kigali City, and the study finding was that the independent variable had an impact on the dependent variable. In other words, while an effective democratic process with good governance’s principles may provide a latent basis for development, it cannot grant it. There are many other factors that impinge on development, i.e. well elaborated project(s), ground realities, well implemented project(s) and well evaluated project(s), etc.
