The note focuses on the leading role of
local level institutions (LLIs) in Burkina Faso, in rural
decentralization, and poverty eradication, to enhance
equitable prosperity. It is based on the study undertaken by
the National Decentralization Commission in Burkina Faso,
which draws on case studies in Sanmatenga, Sissili, Houet,
and Yatenga, and, presents sociological evidence that
certain high-performing LLIs contribute to equitable
economic development. Economic findings support this,
showing that both lower inequality levels, and lower poverty
levels, are linked to a high degree of internal village
organization. Contextually, LLIs surround, connect, and
manage communities, incorporating many different kinds of
indigenous organizations, and functions. Three categories of
institutions active at the local level are identified: value
institutions, which focus on activating, and maintaining the
stability of local governance, and values of the society;
production institutions, focused on accessing resources from
the national government, so as to increase productivity;
and, service-asset management institutions, which integrate
productivity, and growth values, focused on managing, and
expanding local assets for sustainable development. External
aid will need to map these LLIs to guide pro-poor
investment, and financing of community driven development,
and encourage local governments to formalize participation. |
