Decentralization enhances governance by transferring authority and decisionmaking closer to citizens, promoting efficiency, accountability, and participation. Local governance strengthens democracy by giving communities a direct voice in development. Decentralization and Local Governance explores how devolved administrative systems operate and the benefits and challenges they bring. The book discusses fiscal decentralization, community engagement, and policy coordination among levels of government. It also examines global experiences in decentralization and its role in regional development. Blending theoretical analysis with case studies, it provides practical insights for policymakers and administrators seeking to build responsive and inclusive local governance systems.
