    (University of the Western Cape, 2005) Msewa, Edwin Filbert; Coning, Professor De; Penderis, Sharon; Institute for Social Development; Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences
    This research measured the impact of decentralisation on the promotion of good local governance in the Lilongwe District Assembly. The study explored the condition of local governance by examining the status of the facets that underpin local governance namely participation, transparency and accountability, gender equity and efficiency. It highlighted dilemmas associated with implementing decentralisation in areas where there are no functioning local institutions and where tendencies of centralisation still loom large.
