Since the early 1990s, the Bolivian
government has begun a transition towards a more
decentralized form of government. As a result, the
country's 324 municipalities have greater autonomy and
responsibilities and several social control mechanisms have
been created to promote more participation in local
government and more accountability. In this context, the
Bolivian government developed a Poverty Reduction Strategy
Paper (PRSP) in May 2001, which is being revised in 2003.
The PRSP outlines an approach to increased poverty related
spending through investments in education, health and
sanitation, and risk management. These expenditures will be
planned and executed largely at the municipal level. The
Popular Participation Law of 1994 established municipal
oversight committees (comit?s de vigilancia) to help
evaluate the impact of public policies and spending.
However, without municipal information systems, the
oversight committees and local governments lack the tools
and resources necessary to fulfill their monitoring responsibilities. |
