DESCRIPTION:

The concept of Decentralization is broad based and has varying degrees of scope and implementation. A number of sources identify different types of decentralization according to the paradigmatic and empirical approaches of the authors. Broadly speaking, we can distribute these approaches into two categories, i.e. Geographical and Institutional. Institutional decentralization mainly deals with the distribution of public service delivery across public, private and nonprofit organizations. This note focuses on geographical decentralization which occurs when functions of government are devolved to geographical sub-national units (states/provinces, cities/counties, etc.).
