Nyangatom Social Organization and its Relevance to Local Governance

This book is about the Nyangatom social organization in the context of local governance. It attempts to view the Nyangatom social organization as an African ideal of institution governance. Methodologically, the study pursued qualitative approaches in terms of data collection and design of analysis. Ethical considerations and triangulation techniques were employed to make objective analysis, come up with sound findings and draw valid conclusions. The tools used to collect data were interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis. The book also suggested possible ways through which the Nyangatom social organization could be integrated to the existing local governance structure.
