Municipalities and Finance : A Sourcebook for Capacity Building Paperback / softback
by Nick Devas
Edited by Ian Blore, Richard Slater
Part of the Municipal Capacity Building Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Finance is a critical issue for municipal governments around the world, and a major constraint on the delivery of pro-poor services at the local level.
In many countries, decentralisation has brought the issue of municipal finance to the fore.
This sourcebook provides a framework for analysing municipal finance capacity and ways of addressing financial constraints. The ideas come from real-life innovative practice in four countries - India, Brazil, Kenya and Uganda - with additional examples from elsewhere.
Emphasis is given to how those innovations and improvements were developed and sustained.
The book identifies a strategic framework for diagnosing municipal finance capacity and focusing financial goals.
It applies the analysis to a number of critical areas of municipal finance including local taxes, charges for services, budgeting, cost control, accounting reforms and investment finance. This is the third in a series of capacity-building sourcebooks that includes Focusing Partnerships: A Sourcebook for Municipal Capacity Building in Public-Private Partnerships and Municipalities and Community Participation: A Sourcebook for Capacity Building.
