Évaluation des politiques de décentralisation en Afrique dans les années quatre-vingt-dix - Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 1998

The onset of liberalisation and democratisation have necessitated a third wave of decentralisation reforms in many African countries in the decade of the 1990s. The article discusses the extend to which the current decentralisation efforts have effectively tackled the problems, which bedevilled past efforts. It is shown that some countries in the region are indeed breaking new grounds. The paper concludes by suggesting areas that deserve greater scrunity and assistance by African governments and development partners
