FES South Africa Siasa Place As our own democracy faces new cleavages, it’s time to learn from countries that have navigated democratic transitions and maintained resilience despite adversity. What can the U.S. take away from these lessons?

FES South Africa Siasa Place There’s much talk about the importance of democracy being at risk, but African nations have been modeling innovative approaches to democracy. Today, we reflect on their successes and what it means for the future of governance.

“Do young people trust the institutions that carry out elections? The answer is no. Trust in democracy is decreasing in Kenya, and I believe globally too.” – Nerima Wako. This highlights the urgent need to restore faith in democratic institutions.

“Meta has ignored court orders to compensate workers who are underpaid, overworked, and exposed to harmful content without psychosocial support.” – Nerima Wako. This exploitation cannot be ignored.

“Kenyan workers in Lebanon are facing abuse, yet the government claims they refuse evacuation. The reality of their situation must be questioned.” – Nerima Wako. We need real solutions for our migrant workers.

“We recognize unemployment is high, but there’s a mismatch between the skills young people have and the jobs the government promotes, like housekeepers or watchmen.” – Nerima Wako. Our educated youth deserve better opportunities.

“The National Employment Authority lists jobs like housekeepers and drivers, but young people are questioning the quality of these jobs and the sacrifices they have to make.” – Nerima Wako. We need to aim higher for our workforce.

“Even though we send resources from the diaspora back home, we aren’t seeing those resources having an impact on the economy.” – Nerima Wako. Diaspora contributions need to benefit the country more visibly.
