Abstract

The objectives of Ghana’s decentralization program include increasing local revenue mobilization, restructuring allocation of resources to meet local needs, and empowering MMDAs to make allocative decisions over both locally generated funds and those transferred from the central government (Kokor and Kroes, Central grants for local development in a decentralized planning system in Ghana; 2000). In achieving this, institutional and legal frameworks must be put in place to accommodate activities of the local people. Despite Ghana’s progress with fiscal decentralization, there is the need to rethink how best these programs can be enhanced to ensure poverty reduction. This chapter examines the challenge of weak central government institution and lack of financial control at the local, district, and regional level for the implementation of effective fiscal decentralization in Ghana.
