Decentralization and Deconcentration (D&D) reform is a comprehensive governance reform aimed at restructuring the structure and Sub-national Administrative (SNA) system. This reform is grounded in the principles of unified administration and democratic development; and emphasizes a clear allocation of functions between ministries, institutions at the national level, and SNAs through the transfer of functions, resources, authorities, and responsibility to the SNAs in public services delivery and local economic development to meet the needs of the citizens within the jurisdiction of each SNA effectively, transparently, accountable, inclusiveness and socially equitable. In this context, the reform is organized around three core dimensions:
- Political decentralization – which involves the establishment of elected sub-national councils to represent local interests and voices.
- Administrative decentralization – which involves restructuring of the management system and procedures of SNAs in alignment with the democratic governance and principles of unified administration, including the transfer of functions, resources, and authority to SNAs, restructuring management systems, and enhancing the capacity of local administrations.
Financial decentralization – which involves the arrangements to ensure that SNAs have adequate financial resources to cover the costs of service delivery and local development. This is to strengthen local ownership and improve financial management systems at the subnational level that promotes transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
