ABSTRACT:
The note focuses on fiscal decentralisation as a means of furthering devolved governance with the aim of ensuring delivery of public services in an efficient, effective, transparent and equitable manner. The broad framework underpins the need for administrative and financial powers at the sub-national and local levels of public management and their adequate backup. At the same time, the note looks at some international experiences with particular reference to India, China and Brazil. It also elaborates upon some of the challenges of fiscal decentralisation in Pakistan amid growing expenditure responsibilities at the provincial and the local levels.
