Egypt Human Development Report 2004

Choosing Decentralization for Good Governance

Report Cover

It is hoped that EHDR 2004 will contribute to
national policy dialogue on all the issues of decentralization
as well as on human development at disaggregated
levels.The previous EHDR 2003 had as
a main theme participation in local development:
participation in planning, decision-making, implementation,
and funding of local projects and priorities.
Decentralization, and its various dimensions,
is therefore an appropriate sequel as the main theme
for EHDR 2004, especially that all indicators show
Egypt as one of the most highly centralized
economies, where budget figures for 2003/04 show
that the shares of local government in total government
revenues and expenditures are only 3 percent
and 15 percent respectively.
In addressing the theme of decentralization, the
Report has been conceptually designed so as to make
use of a ‘theme-sector’ matrix.The main themes are
political, administrative and fiscal decentralization,
and the Report covers major components, such as
local governance, private sector participation, voice
of the poor, civil service reform, capacity building
