| Summary: | Citizen participation in the
decisionmaking and development activities of local
government can produce more efficient and effective delivery
of services by the public sector. In order to foster
participation, some responsibility must be devolved from
central to local government. However, the assignment of
responsibilities to local governments cannot, by itself,
ensure participation. Accountable local governments are key
actors in any attempt to create an enabling environment for
effective participation in public sector activities. |
