Summary: Summary: “Research carried out in 2008 and 2009 by HRRAC confirmed that ordinary people’s voices in Afghanistan are silenced by local powerbrokers, especially in rural areas, and that ties between citizens and their elected representatives at all levels remain weak,. In particular, a 2009 HRRAC survey of informal workers revealed widespread feelings of disappointment with how Members of Provincial Councils (MPCs) interacted with and served their constituents. Disenchantment depresses the political participation on which Afghanistan’s nascent democracy must ultimately stand. Following the election of new Provincial Councils (PCs) under less than ideal conditions at the end of 2009, the development of more and better linkages between constitutions and MPCs is urgently required”—(Executive summary, p. 1).
