Constitutional, Legal and Regulatory Framework

Country Descriptions

Indonesia: a lagging decentralization in this country

China: cities have been imaginative in innovating and delivering some services not anticipated in the legal and regulatory framework in which they operate; nevertheless, even under these circumstances rationalization is desirable.

Uganda: the country is preparing to design and publish readily accessible budgets for all levels of government as part of an expenditure management reform program which emphasizes output/outcome orientation.

Mexico: the country's three-year, non-renewable mayoral terms, for example, have been associated with a very short-term focus in local officials’ governance strategies.
