Introduction
Over the last 2 decades Africa has moved from the old system of centralized governance to decentralisation.
Why opted for decentralisation?
-
It’s a way to satisfy people’s needs - better service delivery in both access and voice;
-
The need for democratization & Empowerment;
-
To promote sustainable local development – give citizens opportunity to participate: prioritize, plan, finance, implement and consume goods and services produced;
-
To facilitate the fight against corruption;
-
To promote trust building especially in post conflict countries - as a way to look for alternatives
-
The need to have accountable governments to citizens for better service delivery.
