A study of the impact of decentralization on access to service deliverySaavedra, Pablo A. 10 November 2009 (has links)
This research builds further on the existing conceptual framework of the relationship between decentralization and service delivery and provides a cross-country empirical examination of the core dimensions of decentralization reform on access to two key services: health care and improved drinking water sources. The regression results provide evidence supporting positive and significant effects of fiscal, administrative, and political decentralization, individually, on the variables used to measure access to health care, and improved water provision; although the size and robustness of such effects varies for each dimension of decentralization in relation to each service examined. The results obtained in this study suggest that there is an additional (or "extra") positive effect coming from the interaction of two decentralization dimensions on access to health care and water services (that is, a mutually-reinforcing effect additional to the individual effect of each dimension of decentralization). The results obtained also support the expectation that developing countries could benefit significantly more from decentralization reforms compared to developed countries. These findings underscore the importance of considering all dimensions of the decentralization process when investigating the effects of this reform on any economic, institutional, or social variable. The policy implications are highly relevant, particularly for developing countries: decentralization implemented only through one dimension may render fewer positive fruits in terms of access to services than a multi-dimensional approach. Moreover, learning more about the most beneficial mutually-reinforcing effects across dimensions of decentralization may also help strategically in how the overall decentralization reform is designed.

Hindrances in the process of political decentralisation in Rwanda : a case study of Nyarugenge district.Mukandoli, Colette. January 2008 (has links)
M. Tech. Public Management Tshwane University of Technology 2008. / This research departed from the hypothesis that inadequacies in terms of finances, human resources and infrastructure are what impedes the smooth implementation of the decentrilisation process in Rwanda. This study attempts to identify how the process of decentralisation in Nyarugenge District took place, and what kind of impact different resources and infrastructure had on the process of decentralisation. The study reveals that Rwanda has long suffered impediments to its decentralisation process. Recommendations include improving the financial, human resources and infrastructure aspects.

The quest for good governance through public sector reform and performance measurement.Hedderwick, Cailin Leigh. January 2008 (has links)
The study examines the rationale and application of good governance principles in the
public sector. For the purpose of this study, the public sector refers to a country’s
administrative system or bureaucracy. This paper focuses on public sector reform in
developing countries. The initial assumption is that public sector reform brings about
efficient government. However, the study argues that only good governance brings about
effective government. The argument presented in this study is that public sector reform is
indeed conducive to providing efficient and effective service delivery to the citizen.
However, it is also argued that it is important to find ways of assessing whether or not
this is happening. In this respect, systems of monitoring and evaluation such as
performance measurement become necessary tools of assessing how it contributes to
good governance. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc. (Policy and Development)) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2008.
