Benin: Effective Delivery of Education ServicesAfriMAP & OSIWA 07 October 2010 The report measures the progress made in governance in Benin. It is the result of two years of extensive research led by a team of researchers, professors, and education specialists. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of the education structures in Benin, as well as the legal and institutional framework for the delivery of quality education. The report finds that, despite the many reforms initiated, the government failed in implementing the strategic vision defined 20 years ago during the Etats Generaux de l’Education. Among the several problems underlined in the report are the lack of transparency in the budgetary process, the lack of fiscal decentralization, and the lack of respect for audit and procurement procedures. The report makes many recommendations on the improvement of the governance of public service delivery in the education sector, with the aim of contributing to the ongoing reform process in Benin.

Benin: Democracy and political participation - An evaluation of 20 years of 'democratic renewal'AfriMAP & OSIWA 24 March 2010 Twenty years after the unrolling of a process of democratisation that began with the most successful \\\'Sovereign national conference\\\' of the 1990s, what is the state of democracy and political participation in Benin? This is the question that this report attempts to answer. Benin: Democracy and political participation is the first and most complete analysis of the Beninois political system seen from the perspective of the quality of citizen participation in the politicial process, and the obstacles to this participation.

Benin: Justice Sector and the Rule of LawAfriMAP & OSIWA 24 March 2010 After 20 years of 'democratic renewal', the state of Beninois justice presents a profound paradox. The Constitutional Court has increased in credibility and produces an impressive quantity and quality of jurisprudence. But the general justice system has continued to lose independence, while allegations of corruption have undermined popular confidence in the capacity of the courts to ensure that the executive respects the rule of law. This is one of the conclusions of the report Benin: Justice Sector and the Rule of Law. Based on in-depth and impartial research, the report brings out the strengths and weaknesses of Benin's justice sector, and presents recommendations that aim to feed into a current debate about the reform on the institutions and mechanisms established by the 1990 constitution. The report is currently available in French only, but a translation into English will be prepared.
