Governance and Development Reforms
Terms of Reference (TORs) for Political Leaders: Africa

We, the Visionaries of the World-VOW-International first and humbly salute you all!

Our contribution today is as follows: Political Leadership more so in Africa presupposes or is often driven by an assumptions that those elected to national or sub-national assemblies have the capacities entailed in such leadership and ought to therefore deliver the leadership and services to their Electorates.

However, such assumptions ought be challenged given the perennial patterns and trends of subsequent failed leadership in terms of relative measurable indicators of the Electorates' improved standards of living, levels of individual states' economic growth and ultimately a peoples' wellbeing.

The gap we see as VOW International is not lack of goodwill as often advanced, but poor or lack of specific capacities for relative success in such leadership and service delivery on the psrt of both the Electorste and the Elected Leaders.

A Political Leader ought to have Terms of Reference (TORs). These can be provided through certain Technical Frameworks of Operation where the Leader takes responsibility to act upon and therefore is able to make constant checks of accountability for services delivered over specified periods of performance assessments.

In VOW's tecnical wild thinking, as reflected in the Pan African African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), Capacities for Political Leaders can be developed around five Pillars of Governance and Development namely: Political Pillar Activities; Economic /Resources Mobilization Activities; Corporate Business Activities; Socio-Economic Sector/Development Activities;  and Cross-Cutting Activities.

From each of the above Five Pillars are immense and expansive and inexhaustible Strategic Plans and Substantive Action Plans that if given an objective and genuine effort an an all-inclusive participatory drive, could increase the opportunities for successful implementation of the envisaged governance and development reforms.
