    The logic of decentralisation: Mobilising cash, commitment and communities

    id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2003
    Renewed emphasis on good governance and transparency has once again put the issue of decentralisation on the agenda. In theory, a decentralised government – whose representatives are in closer contact with their electorate – will be more transparent and responsive to the needs of the poor and this will naturally promote pro-poor development.
