Thinking about Decentralization I
(from European Observatory 2007 book)Decentralization is:• an “area” or a “zone” of activity, rather than a
single strategy• an “umbrella concept” with multiple, often
conflicting interpretations and perspectives

Thinking about Decentralization II
• Decentralization has three “functional dimensions”:
- Political (policy/strategy) - Administrative (operational management) - Fiscal (raising funds/financial management)
These overlap and often conflict with each other
