Abstract: Abstract The concept of decentralization is generally understood as the transfer of power, responsibility and resources from central to regional and local governments. It covers a broad range of meanings, being a complex process that modifies the fundamental structure of state power. According to the World Bank Institute (Litvack and Seddon, 1999), decentralization has three main dimensions — political, administrative and fiscal — each of which has different characteristics, policy implications and conditions for success.
