The current momentum for decentralisation of government in Africa and elsewhere in the developing world is unparalleled, but are the benefits claimed by its advocates being realised? Focusing on two claims in particular, this book questions whether decentralisation does offer a significant pathway out of poverty and conflict in Africa. Issues of poverty reduction are addressed in Uganda, Ghana, Malawi and Tanzania, while those of conflict management are explored in Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Uganda and Rwanda. 'Decentralisation in Afrika' is een sobere beoordeling van wat decentralisatie precies kan bereiken. Decentralisatie van overheden in Afrikaanse landen en elders in de derde wereld krijgt de laatste tijd een impuls, vaak gedreven door Multilaterale en bilaterale instanties (de 'donoren'). Maar worden de voordelen hiervan wel gerealiseerd? In dit boek worden vraagtekens gezet bij de kwestie of decentralisatie wel een gunstige uitweg biedt voor de armoede en het conflict in Afrika. 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:37:49Z 2020-04-01T15:37:49Z 2008 book 340046 OCN: 311870867 9789053569344 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35283 eng application/pdf n/a 340046.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789053569344 'Decentralisation in Afrika' is een sobere beoordeling van wat decentralisatie precies kan bereiken.
