The DSNG section is pleased to sponsor the
following panel at LASA 2012. Please see below for information on papers,
location, and time.
Decentralization and Social
Policy:
Service Provision & Feedback
Effects
Friday 2:30 pm - 4:15 pm, Golden Gate
Ballroom, Salon B
This panel examines decentralized
service provision across a range of sectors, including health provision,
revenue generation (tax collection), and natural resource governance (watershed
management). Among the key topics of the panel will be the question of
how far decentralization has advanced and how effective it is on a variety of
measures in traditionally less decentralized countries such as Ecuador and
Paraguay; complementary papers examine the effects of decentralization in the
federal countries of Brazil and Mexico.
