Approximately 25 per cent of Latin Americans live on less than $2 a day, and Latin America is the most unequal region of the world. This book derives economic principles for implementing the process of decentralization, and it presents cases that illustrate the principles at work. It is suitable for policymakers and practitioners.

Helps readers use the decentralization of government functions to implement a basic needs approach to development. The aim of this book is not to "give the answer," but to provide insight into decentralization as a process and to help practitioners develop skills in designing their own decentralization programs. It also includes case studies.
