Democracy

How and who will be chosen to be part of the process? There are a wide range of recruitment decisions that will impact accessibility, representation and the overall legitimacy of the process. This is usually done via democratic lottery.

Vulnerabilities with examples:

  • Ethnic Polarization: Not achieving a representative mix of ethnic groups.
  • Post-Conflict: Recruitment being skewed by ongoing tensions.
  • Cultural misalignment: Is it normal for anyone to participate in decision-making?

Mitigating Techniques/Strategies, with Examples:

  • Use targeted outreach to ensure diverse ethnic representation.
  • Involve peace-building organizations in the recruitment process in post-conflict areas.
