🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Decentralization: The process of redistributing authority, responsibilities, and resources from central government to lower levels or local units to improve efficiency and responsiveness.
  • De-concentration: A form of decentralization involving minimal transfer of authority from central government to regional or local offices without transferring decision-making power.
  • Devolution: A more extensive form of decentralization where responsibilities, resources, and authority are transferred to legally independent local government units, allowing them to operate autonomously.
  • Legal Basis for Decentralization: Laws such as Ghana’s 4th Republic Constitution, Local Government Act, and Ghana Health Service Act provide the framework for decentralization.
