1. women's political mobilisation and collective action,
2. persistence and erosion of ideology in political parties,
3. public service delivery in the context of decentralised governance, 
4. historical origins of ethnic conflict, and
5. voters' use of information to hold incumbent politicians accountable, and cumulative learning
