Abstract
Most African countries are governed by two systems: formal state-sanctioned (modern) institutions of governance; and traditional institutions that mostly govern rural populations. The fragmentation of institutions has created a number of serious socioeconomic problems. How can this be solved? KIDANE MENGISTEAB and GERARD HAGG report on a study that tries to do exactly that.-
