| Summary: | The purpose of this report is to present
reform options for the implementation of the new code that
would strengthen accountability in service delivery. The
report is structured as follows: chapter one discusses how
decentralization can be an effective tool for improving
service delivery and local governance. Chapter two assesses
progress in fiscal, administrative and political
decentralization, scrutinizes their impact on accountability
relationships and makes recommendations to further
decentralization, in line the new code. Chapter three
analyses current arrangements for service delivery in two
sectors (water and education), maps out strengths and
weaknesses of existing accountability relationships and
makes recommendations, drawing on existing innovative
practices in Guinea and/or the region. Chapter four offers
recommendations to manage change and maintain the momentum
for reform. Chapter five concludes with an outlook. |
