In this paper, we argue that the future of development in Africa lies in the shift from
democracy in the conventional sense to technocracy, where the role of the expert is
recognized and appreciated. We set out by presenting conceptualizations of
democracy and technocracy. Thereafter, we highlight the challenge posed by the
demands of the information society to traditional concepts of democracy.
