Description: The contributors to this volume provide specific insights into how various systems in Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and in particular in Zimbabwe work in practice. The description and analysis provide a frame of reference for understanding in interpreting the workings of decentralization policy - including its persisting difficulties in integrating popular participation into the planning process.
