The implementation of programmes. The limited understanding on the objectives and process of decentralization hampered the development of a comprehensive decentralization model and design. Implementing the programme of decentralization rests not only on the enthusiasm, good sense of responsibility, and interest and commitment of national and local authorities and cadres. It is imperative that initiators and implementers be knowledgeable and adequately trained on the process as well as methodologies of decentralizing political and administrative powers from the national and sub national governments. Moreover, the government must be ready to financially support the process of devolution.
Policies have to be detailed, programmes specified, and activities stipulated.
Furthermore, the role of local governments is extremely important, thus, has to be clearly defined. The implementation should be organized and linked with other branches and social organizations concerned according to the organizational structure and territory. Other branches and social organizations can bring into full play their monitoring power only through local governments even though the programmes belong to their branch or organization. Social organization, non governmental organizations, community and subjects or policies also have an important role. They represent the desire, volition, and strength of the masses.
