| description |
Fiscal decentralization provides the
link between incentives for better performance of the local
government and the elected support from the citizens and is,
therefore, essential for an effective system of
decentralization. The purpose of this note is to elucidate
components of a well-designed fiscal decentralized system
and is aimed to assist task teams and stakeholders to
evaluate fiscal decentralization effort in any given
country. There are two main components of fiscal
decentralization system: a) discretion of the local
government to make decision on fiscal matters (including
revenue assignment for local goods, revenue generation,
transfer of funds through a well-designed transfer system,
and utilization of funds); and b) accountability including
mechanisms that hold local government officials to other
elected and non-elected officials and social accountability
that allows direct monitoring of the local government
officials by the citizens. |
