Answer:
effectively is widely considered today as
indispensable for strengthening the quality
of (democratic) governance and the nature of
state-society relations.
Political voice has both intrinsic and
instrumental value, as was prominently
highlighted in the report of the High Level
Panel on the post-2015 development agenda
(2013). In principle, political voice enables
people to pursue the goals and aspirations
that they value, and to seek redress when
an injustice is perceived. As Amartya Sen
has argued, the importance of participation
in one’s development through open and
non-discriminatory processes, to have a say
without fear, and to speak up against perceived
injustices and wrongs are fundamental
freedoms that are integral to one’s well being
and quality of life.
