Analyzing Fiscal Decentralization: A Review of Key Concepts and Applications for Uganda
 
[Project Details]

Participants in the Fiscal Decentralization Analysis Workshop

Local governments in Uganda play an important role in the delivery of important government services. The delivery of key social services, such as education, health care, water, local roads, gender, and agriculture are delivered at the local government level. In addition, local governments play an important role in the planning and implementation of local capital development programs.

A five-day workshop was delivered from October 13-17, 2003, by the Andrew Young School on the campus of the Uganda Management Institute (UMI) in Kampala, Uganda. The purpose of the workshop was to provide a refresher program for LGFC experts who previously attended the Andrew Young School's decentralization training programs in Atlanta. The training workshop was attended by eight participants. The program combined a number of review sessions with a number of applied sessions focussing specifically on local government finance issues in Uganda.
