Decentralization and Local Democracy
 in the World : First Global Report by United Cities and
 Local Governments 2008This overall picture of decentralization
 and local democracy in African countries shows significant
 progress at the strictly institutional level. No country now
 publicly opposes the implementation of decentralization
 policies. Local governments exist in all countries, and
 elections are held to elect local authorities. The extent of
 such progress must, however, be set against a number of
 persistent obstacles that continue to hinder a real
 progression of decentralization in Africa. Difficulties
 remain within states concerning the transfer of financial
 resources needed to match the devolved responsibilities.
 Local governments also face difficulties in increasing their
 own resources (aside from state-transfers and grants) at a
 faster pace. Ensuring the availability of qualified human
 resources at the local level and improving public access to
 local services are also fundamental issues of concern.
