Abstract

Key challenges encountered while operationalizing the African Highlands Initiative (AHI) devolution model are linked to coordination management, with issues arising out of collaboration processes. Capacity at local government level is weak and characterized by high turnover of staff. Joint visioning, planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, are essential. Team building skills, leadership, and systems thinking are required. However, unless roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders are clearly defined, project implementation is dominated by regular disagreements translating into divisiveness and delays.
