DECENTRALISATION

What is decentralization?

 Decentralizationis the process of


distributing functions, powers, and
decision-making away from a central
authority and to smaller groups or
level.
 It
is the process of transferring
authority from the Supreme and state
levels to the local level.
Main Forms of Decentralisation

 The main forms of decentralization are


deconcentration, delegation, devolution,
partnerships with Civil Society
Organizations (CSO) and privatization.
Decentralization may assist in achieving
good governance, improve service
delivery and lead to political
democratization.
DECONCENTRATION

 Thistype is sub-ordinate lower-level units or sub-


units, such as regional, district or local offices of
the central administration or service delivery
organization It involves the transfer of authority for
specific decision- making, financial and
management functions by administrative means to
different levels under the same jurisdictional
authority of the central government. This is the
least extensive type of administrative
decentralization and the most common found in
DEVOLUTION
This type is autonomous lower-level units, such as
provincial, district, local authorities that are legally
constituted as separate governance bodies. The transfer of
authorities to such units is often referred to as devolution.
It is the most common understanding of genuine
decentralization.
Devolution is an arrangement in which there are reciprocal,
mutually beneficial, and coordinate
 relationships between central and local governments.
DELEGATION
This type is semi-autonomous lower-level units, such as urban
or regional development corporations to whom aspects of
governance are delegated through legislation or under
contract.
 This is a fairly common variant of decentralization that
stops short of devolution, but involves significant
delegation of authorities and responsibilities. Delegation
refers to the transfer of government decision-making and
administrative authority and/or responsibility for carefully
spelled out tasks to institutions and organizations that are
either under government indirect control or semi-
PARTNERSHIPS WITH CIVIL
SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS
(CSO)
Partnerships with civil society organizations (CSOs) can be
important for development efforts and can help to achieve
sustainable development goals. CSOs can provide a unique
perspective and expertise, and can help to create a
conducive environment for development. CSOs can play a
variety of roles in partnerships, including:
Resource agency
Training and support organization
Implementation facilitation and support team
 Mobilization, vigilance, monitoring, and social audit
PRIVATISATION
The fourth type refers to units external to the formal
governmental structure (non-governmental or private),
such as NGOs, corporations and companies.
• While sometimes included in discussions of
decentralization, the nature of these transfers is not level-
specific, i.e., transfers could occur at the same level,
which is often the central one.
• These phenomena are best not treated as forms of
decentralization, but of divestment.
Divestment occurs when planning and administrative
responsibility or other public functions are transferred
