This paper provides background for the
 Government of Indonesia as it considers if and how to
 introduce more robust local government performance
 incentives into the intergovernmental fiscal framework. The
 next section briefly examines the forces that have driven
 the recent national wave of interest in improving local
 government performance. This is followed by a review of the
 relatively limited set of local government performance
 incentives currently in force in Indonesia. The fourth
 section provides a conceptual overview of how to think about
 the possible expansion of local government incentive
 programs, outlining the potential role(s) of such programs
 in general and the key issues involved in designing and
 implementing them. The fifth section tentatively considers a
 number of options for additional local government incentives
 in Indonesia that the central government may wish to
 consider pursuing. The paper concludes with an outline of
 next steps for moving forward with the possible development
 of more purposeful and meaningful performance incentives in
 Indonesia's intergovernmental fiscal framework.Date

Decentralization, Accountability and Local Services in Sierra Leone : Situation Analysis, Key Challenges and Opportunities for ReformWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-04-15)Following years of civil war that ended
 in 2002, Sierra Leone has pursued a policy of
 decentralization, devolving responsibility for many
 government functions to the Local Council level. The aims of
 this policy include achieving a more equitable and inclusive
 access to public services across the national territory, in
 part to alleviate regional inequities that contributed to
 the civil war. The implementation of the decentralization
 policy has faced many obstacles, however, including the need
 to rebuild local government institutions and capacity after
 30 years of centrally dominated governance; the limited
 devolution of financial resources; and multifaceted
 political economy hurdles. This report, first, analyzes the
 current state of decentralization in Sierra Leone; second,
 identifies the most prominent challenges to continued
 decentralization; and, third, discusses options for the way
 forward. The report draws on qualitative and quantitative
 data collected from both central and local government
 stakeholders, and takes the perspective that
 decentralization and strengthened local governance
 institutions are an effective means to localize development
 and improve the effective and equitable delivery of key
 public services. The study focuses on progress to date and
 standing challenges in four key areas of analysis: fiscal
 decentralization, human resource decentralization, ensuring
 inclusivity and accountability in local governance, and
 ensuring efficiency and responsiveness in service delivery.

South East Europe Municipal Finance Review : Local Government Finance in the Western BalkansWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-07-22)This report addresses the limited access
 to local governments of data and knowledge of municipal
 finance issues in South East Europe (SEE). The objective of
 the analytical work under the SEE Municipal Finance Review
 (MFR) aims to (i) contribute to improved understanding of
 local government management and finance in the SEE Region;
 and (ii) contribute to improving the quality and consistency
 of key municipal finance data for improved evidence based
 policy making. The analysis presented in this report
 comprises the first attempt to review and analyze a regional
 set of disaggregated sub-national finance data in the SEE
 Region. Main findings of the MFR are presented in this
 report. Following an introductory chapter, chapter 2
 provides an overview of the decentralization framework in
 the SEE Region, including on the administrative and
 political structure of sub-national governments, their
 population size and distribution, and the service functions
 assigned to local governments. Chapter 3 explains in more
 detail the local government finance framework. This includes
 an overview of the structure and composition of sub-national
 finances, in particular (i) revenue and expenditure
 assignments; (ii) transfers and intergovernmental fiscal
 relations; and (iii) the evolving framework and realities of
 sub-national borrowing and debt. Chapter 4 provides a
 summary of the key trends and findings from the
 cross-country, regional analysis, complemented by detailed
 analysis of the disaggregated datasets, where available.
 Finally, Chapter 5 summarizes conclusions and provides some
 recommendations for a possible way forward. In the medium to
 long term, access to municipal finance information would
 contribute to increasing transparency and accountability of
 local governments, improving revenue collection and
 expenditure performance, optimizing budget allocation
 procedures, and strengthen local authorities' role and
 position in intergovernmental fiscal considerations and
 negotiations in the SEE countries.

Decentralization and Local Governance in MENA : A Survey of Policies, Institutions, and PracticesWorld Bank (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-08-21)Entering the 21st century, the 1999-2000 World Development Report (WDR), identifies two main forces that are shaping the world in which development policy is being defined and implemented: (i) globalization, the increasing worldwide integration of private sector interaction and commercial relationships; and (ii) localization, a process of devolving fiscal and administrative roles and responsibilities from central to sub-national tiers of government. It goes on to note that these global-private and local-public pressures are not only reinforcing, but also challenging traditional paradigms and forms of intergovernmental systems. Political decentralization, often associated with pluralistic politics and representative government, aims to give citizens more say in public policy and decision-making. Its advocates assume that decisions made with greater participation will be better informed and more relevant to diverse interests in society than those made only by national political authorities. The concept implies that the selection of representatives from local electoral jurisdictions allows citizens to know better their political representatives and allows elected officials to know better the needs and desires of their constituents. Administrative decentralization aims to redistribute authority, responsibility and financial resources for providing public services among different levels of government. It typically takes three forms: de-concentration, delegation and devolution. Fiscal decentralization vests greater autonomy and authority with local governments in matters of fiscal importance, empowering local governments to generate their own revenues, through taxes and user charges, as well as determining their expenditure priorities based on a clear assignment of functions and responsibilities. Over the last two decades, it has been estimated that more than 100 countries, most of them in the developing world, have experimented with various forms of decentralization.
