Decentralization - an essential pillar of institutional reform -
is of critical importance in developing countries, particularly in
regard to democratization, effective development, and good
governance. Uganda, since 1986 and the start of decentralization
measures under Yoweri Museveni and the National Resistance
Movement, has represented one of the most serious commitments in
Sub-Saharan Africa. With the benefit of extensive fieldwork,
Fumihiko Saito demonstrates how conflict resolution, information
dissemination, and encouragement of the many and varied
stakeholders to form partnerships are critical to successfully
bringing services "closer to the people. Decentralization and
Development Partnerships: Lessons from Uganda goes beyond theory to
compare academic assumptions to the reality of decentralization
implementation in modern Uganda. Although the process is by no
means free of difficulties, Saito concludes that a "win-win"
outcome is a real possibility.
