Abstract

Decentralisation is an indispensable instrument for development in many countries around the world. Effective decentralisation depends on the capacity of local government. To enhance and improve local governance, there are three factors to be taken explicitly into account, popular participation, accountability and available information. Furthermore, new challenge for decentralisation nowadays is increasing responsibility of local government as enabler. Besides providing some specific public services, local government would put more attentions on offering a systematic and multi-functions mechanism for all providers to deliver public services effectively and efficiently.
