Synopsis

In a series promoting the empowerment of local governments in developing countries as policies decentralize, UK development experts present case studies focusing on capacity-building in the area of finance. Based primarily on case studies conducted by researchers in Brazil, India, Kenya, and Uganda, lessons are shared relating to diagnosing starting point capacity, strategic planning, tax policies, organizational change and new funding sources to sustain service improvement. Chapters include legal and policy contexts and reform cycle flowcharts. Distributed by Stylus. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
