Abstract

This article examines Budget Scrutiny in African Parliaments: Fiscal Oversight, Capacity, and Executive Dominance: Multi-Level Governance Perspectives with a focused emphasis on Senegal within the field of African Studies. It is structured as a comparative study that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.

Introduction

The introduction of Budget Scrutiny in African Parliaments: Fiscal Oversight, Capacity, and Executive Dominance: Multi-Level Governance Perspectives examines Budget Scrutiny in African Parliaments: Fiscal Oversight, Capacity, and Executive Dominance: Multi-Level Governance Perspectives in relation to Senegal, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of African Studies ((Davis & Ramírez‐Andreotta, 2021)) 1. This section is written as a approximately 352 to 539 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Drotbohm & Winters, 2021)) 2. Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Shabazz, 2022)) 3. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Budget Scrutiny in African Parliaments: Fiscal Oversight, Capacity, and Executive Dominance: Multi-Level Governance Perspectives; explain why it matters in Senegal; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Zhou et al., 2024)). In the context of Senegal, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary 4. This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Methodology, so it preserves continuity across the article.
