International development is replete with examples of failure. This
has led to notes of cynicism being struck in commentaries on
development, whether in relation to failed states, donor ineptitude
or the unaccountability of NGOs. Precisely because the grand
visions have not been realized and macro-level policies have been
so controversial, attention turned to initiatives at the local
level. However, too many expectations were placed on interventions
at the local level and it did not take long before they became
formalized, institutionalized and bureaucratized, losing their
capacity for rapid response and flexibility. This book is about an
alternative approach. Starting from a critical engagement with
theories of decentralization and a review of social funds, it
explores the value of funding local initiatives that are designed
not only to support development activities but also to promote
local democracy. Reviewing experiences from Africa, Asia, Europe
and Latin America, the book demonstrates how, at their most
innovative, local funds can deliver development within the context
of a rights-based approach and as a critical component of
democratic decentralization. Funding Local Governance will appeal
to academic, professional and practitioner audiences. It will be of
considerable value to people working in international development
agencies, NGOs and in local government. It will be of interest to
researchers, teachers and students of development, urban studies,
local government and politics, geography and urban planning as well
as area studies specialists.
