    Decentralization and Local Governance

    Uploaded by

    Julie Rose DS Baldovino
    This document discusses decentralization and local governance in the Philippines. It begins by defining decentralization as the transfer of power and authority from central institutions to lower levels of government. There are three forms of decentralization: devolution, deconcentration, and debureaucratization. The local governance structure of the Philippines consists of regions, provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays as the basic political units. Decentralization aims to make local governments more self-reliant partners of the national government by devolving functions and resources. Some effects of decentralization include improved delivery of basic services and greater responsiveness of the government to community needs.
