In many ways the application of ICTs to the local governance system in Tolon and Tamale has largely translated the democratic ideals that underlined the local government system in Ghana into reality. The local government system is a product of the populist effervescence that definedtheGhanapolity in the 1980s. Its non-partisan character was meant to open up inclusion and participation in the local decision-making process so as to brush aside the restrictive status quo ante. The legal guidelines establishing the local government system are quite copious in emphasis on the participation of all. But the means of realizing the goals of expanded inclusion and participation were conceived narrowly, as reliance on physical contacts between local leaders and their constituents remained intact. The flourishingofofficialrhetoricaboutgrassrootsparticipation did not hide the emerging monopolization of the process at the local levels. Apathy and resignation became the products of a governance process that people generally have come to perceive as being hijacked by the political leaders and their coterie. The hollowness of the original dreams of involving all through a corporatist system is illustrated today by the partisan camouflagethatthelocalgovernmentstructures wear. The emerging inclusive-exclusive cleavage tends to marginalize further the vulnerable and excluded elements in the society. In Northern Ghana, socio-cultural inhibitions, illiteracy, and chronic poverty have always shut large sections of people out of the decision-making process. The project Uses of ICTs for Political Inclusion and Good Governance in Northern Ghana is meant to transcend the traditional modes of participation by the employment of e-government media. Through the employment of varied ICT tools in the two local government areas, Tamale and Tolon, the needs of the literate, illiterate, women and the excluded have largely been met in their understanding and contribution to local issues that affect them. Exclusion through partisan polarization has also largely been obviated through the e-government process. The authorities in the two districts have realized the ICTs as effective ways of social mobilization for development and means of enriching the content of policies that they implement. The paper in a holistic way discusses the achievements, challenges and the way forward for greater realization of the project objectives.
