Abstract
This Report presents a plan for
improving service delivery in regional governments using a
set of strategies that are commonly found in an approach
described as 'Alternative Mechanisms of Service
Delivery' (AMSD). The report has been prepared as part
of a contract between the Decentralization Support Facility
(DSF) and Hickling Corporation of Canada. This report aims
to outline the most important programs/activities that
central government might undertake to help regional
governments systematically improve service delivery, which
after all, is one of the key objectives of the
decentralization policy. It hopefully provides the basis for
a system of improving service delivery. The objectives in
relation to promoting AMSD within regional governments are:
assistance to government in the rationalization of different
institutional arrangements for the delivery of sub-national
public services; and aid in the development and
implementation of new (contracting) methods for service
delivery. This final section is in recognition that planning
is nothing without good implementation and learning from experience.
