EAST ASIA - Seminar on Decentralization in East Asia and the Philippines: FIRST Session

worldbank.org

Over the past two decades, subnational governments in East Asia have taken on core responsibilities for raising and spending public money and for providing critical services and infrastructure. This decentralization has unleashed local initiative and energy, providing new ways to deliver services to people. With great potential for continued improvement and innovation, says a new World Bank report, it is essential that decentralization be carried out correctly. The report, East Asia Decentralizes—Making Local Government Work, was launched during a policy seminar on Decentralization in East Asia and the Philippines on June 14, 2005, at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. The event was organized by the Center for Local and Regional Governance at the University of the Philippines and the World Bank, in partnership with the Philippine Department of Interior and Local Government.
