No results found.This module provides an overview of “Decentralization of Agricultural Services”. It first explains the range and importance of agricultural services; the traditional role that governments had assumed in their provision; consequences of public sector interventions; and the perceived need for institutional reform, including a reduced role for central government in service provision. It then examines the conceptual framework for policy decisions. Aspects highlighted are the economic rationale for g overnment intervention; functional responsibilities for service provision; and challenges and risks in diversifying provision. Options for reforming agricultural services and how the reform process would need to be planned and managed are next reviewed. -

Also available in:
No results found.This module discusses the importance and means of incorporating environmental considerations into decentralized decision making processes. Why one should care for the environment is first discussed, including the economic role of the environment in life support. Two sets of environmental issues are distinguished, namely those relating to natural resource use and management; and problems arising from environmental pollution, depletion and degradation. Subsumed is the concept of sustainable develo pment, which provides the underlying framework for all subsequent discussions. Also recognised is the need to integrate economic, social and ecological dimensions in development strategies and plans.
