Between Promise and Constraints: Social Justice, Development, and Cohesion in Eritrea
Full text linkIn recent years, social justice has become a central theme in global debates on equality, human rights, development, and political reform. Yet, much of this discourse remains shaped by Western frameworks, with limited scholarship engaging African perspectives on what constitutes a just society – and even less examining how African states themselves operationalize justice in pursuit of national development and peace. This paper contributes to filling that gap through a qualitative, multi-method study of Eritrea, where social justice is conceived not only as a moral imperative but also as a practical foundation for sustainable development, national cohesion, and long-term peace. The analysis traces the roots and manifestations of Eritrea’s approach, highlighting achievements in areas such as gender equality, social protection, and inclusive development, while also acknowledging persistent structural challenges. Eritrea’s pursuit of social justice is substantive, yet progress remains uneven and contingent on overcoming resource constraints, entrenched norms, and institutional limitations. Ultimately, Eritrea’s experience provides valuable insights for broader debates on social justice in low-income and post-conflict contexts, illustrating both the possibilities of state-led progress and the enduring obstacles to transformative change
Challenges of Community Participation in Road Maintenance Projects: Evidence from Babati District Council, Tanzania
Full text linkCommunity participation is promoted as a strategy to enhance the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of road maintenance, particularly in developing nations like Tanzania. However, its implementation often faces significant challenges. This study evaluates the specific challenges hindering effective community participation in road maintenance projects within the Babati District Council, Tanzania. A mixed-methods approach was employed, collecting quantitative data through structured questionnaires from 399 community members selected via simple random sampling, and qualitative insights from key informant interviews with local leaders and TARURA Regional Manager. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings reveal that community participation is severely constrained by a combination of factors: a critical lack of awareness about projects, significant financial constraints among community members, weak coordination between local government and residents, an absence of technical skills and training, prevalent corruption and mismanagement of funds, and poor communication and transparency in planning. These challenges collectively undermine community trust, willingness, and capacity to engage meaningfully. The study concludes that for community participation to be effective, a multi-pronged strategy is essential
