Democratic Decentralisation in Uganda

Democratic Decentralisation in Uganda: A New Approach to Local Governance examines the institutional framework, policies, and practices surrounding Uganda's transition toward decentralised authority. Edited by Søren Villadsen and Francis Lubanga, this collection focuses on the restructuring of local government administration, central-local relations, and public service management during a formative period in modern Ugandan politics.

Published by Fountain Publishers, the volume brings together scholarly research and practical insights on the mechanics of local administration. It reviews how administrative power and decision-making responsibilities are shared at district and local council levels to foster broader civic participation and responsive governance.

This work serves as a valuable resource for university students, lecturers, researchers in political science and development studies, public servants, and policy makers seeking to understand the foundations and challenges of local governance and decentralisation in Uganda.
