Résumé
Depuis les années 1980, de nombreux pays d’Afrique subsaharienne ont connu des réformes structurelles visant à promouvoir une fourniture de services efficiente. La décentralisation, définie comme le transfert d’autorité du gouvernement central aux administrations locales pour l’accomplissent de certaines fonctions, est considérée comme l’une des stratégies de réforme du secteur pub- lic pour améliorer la fourniture de services. La décentralisation, en Ouganda, a commencé en 1986 avec l’arrivée au pouvoir du Mouvement National de Resist- ance, qui visait à promouvoir la démocratie et à renforcer la participation locale. En Ouganda, la politique de décentralisation s’est développée en même temps que la décentralisation financière. L’objectif de la décentralisation politique était de promouvoir la participation populaire dans le processus démocratique de l’Ouganda. Cela a pris la forme d’unités administratives – les Conseils de la Résistance (CR)1 qui assuraient la direction locale depuis le village jusqu’au niveau du district. La décentralisation financière, d’autre part, a tenté d’attribuer des responsabilités et des impôts entre le niveau central et les gouvernements locaux, pour permettre le transfert des subventions et d’autres ressources aux différentes régions du pays et améliorer la fourniture des services. Ce document passera en revue différents documents gouvernementaux et publics, des documents académiques et les conclusions d’autres recherches tels les rapports de l’ONU sur la décentralisation et la fourniture de services en Ouganda. Sur la base de ces sources, cet article répondra aux questions suivantes: dans quelle mesure la décentralisation améliore-t-elle la fourniture de services? Dans quelle mesure la décentralisation améliore-t-elle l’efficience, la participation, la responsabilisation et l’efficacité? Quels sont les défis de la mise en œuvre de la décentralisation en Ouganda?
