New Commission to Focus on Developing and Guiding Local Governments in Sub-Saharan Africa

Public Finance International’s Nick Mann has written about a new organisation which has been set up to address how local government could work better. The African Commission for Local Government Improvement will focus on sub-Saharan African local governments.

The Failure of Decentralisation in South African Local Government by Thomas Koelble and Andrew Siddle addresses these same issues and discusses why local government has been struggling to fulfill its role.

A new organisation aimed at reducing poverty and developing local economies in sub-Saharan Africa by improving how local government services are delivered is being launched this week.

The African Commission for Local Government Improvement will offer countries advice and support from academics, consultants and business leaders with expertise in Africa to improve skills and financial management at a local government level.
