本文提出了在发展中国家的公共协商的问题，并适用于在加纳作为一个测试案例的解决方案。它描述了与随机抽样进行审议协商的理论依据，描述了成功的具体标准，然后在发展中国家具有挑战性的条件下评估申请。它建立在“协商民主”概念的基础上，并展示了如何通过“协商投票”在非洲实际实现这些概念。面临的挑战是，这是非洲最贫穷国家之一的最贫穷地区之一。与只咨询利益相关者或自我选择的人群或使用传统调查相比，DP具有在保密调查中咨询随机样本并进行深入审议的优势，因此可以在个人层面评估意见变化，而无需社会压力达成共识。在这种情况下，这是否切实可行？在加纳塔马勒开展了一项关于水、环境卫生、个人卫生和粮食安全问题的发展方案。已在高度发达国家应用的DP成功的标准进行了讨论，然后在具有挑战性的条件下在加纳应用。
This article poses the problem of public consultation in developing countries and applies a solution in Ghana as a test case. It describes the theoretical rationale for deliberative consultation with random samples, describes specific criteria for success, and then assesses an application under the challenging conditions of a developing country. It builds on notions of “deliberative democracy,” and shows how they can be practically realized in an African context through “Deliberative Polling” (DP). The challenge is that the context is one of the poorest parts of one of the poorest countries in Africa. Rather than consulting just stakeholders, or self-selected populations, or using conventional surveys, DP’s have the advantage of consulting random samples with deliberation in depth in confidential surveys so that the opinion changes can be evaluated at the individual level, free of social pressures for consensus. Is this practical in this context? A DP was conducted in Tamale, Ghana on issues of water, sanitation, hygiene and food security. Criteria for success for DPs that have been applied in highly developed countries are discussed and then applied in Ghana under challenging conditions.
