Loquai, C and S. Le Bay (2007) Building capacities for monitoring and evaluating decentralisation and local governance: Experiences, challenges, perspectives
This brief from the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) suggests that greater efforts be made to build local capacities for monitoring and evaluating decentralisation and local governance. It argues that involving local actors in monitoring and evaluation will both facilitate the decentralisation process and improve the performance and legitimacy of local governments.
Le Bay, Sonia et al. (2007) Mali: Assessment of local governance performance: experiences with a self-evaluation tool.
This publication is addressed to all actors working in the field of decentralisation and local governance, especially practitioners and policymakers that deal with capacity building in the area of monitoring, evaluation and democratic control of local governance structures.
Train4dev (2011) Harmonisation, Decentralisation, Local Governance: Monitoring and evaluation support.
This participants’ kit covers the latest thinking on monitoring and evaluating support to decentralisation, including the guiding principles developed by the DeLoG. It also identifies the challenges that may be encountered when developing or advising partners on monitoring and evaluation systems. The kit presents different M&E tools and approaches, and discusses capacity building and issues of harmonisation and alignment.

UNDP Oslo Governance Centre (2009) A Users’ Guide to Measuring Local Governance
This UNDP Guide provides guidance to practitioners on the different tools and methods used by donors to measure, assess and monitor governance at the local level. The purpose is to compile existing knowledge on decentralization and local governance measurement and provide a platform for understanding and navigating the array of assessment tools that exist, focusing on particular issues such as:
Commonwealth Secretariat (2011) Resource Guide on Decentralisation and Local Government. Commonwealth Secretariat Local Government Reform Series Number 3.
Estimates suggest that decentralisation is currently being pursued in over 80 per cent of developing countries worldwide. For many people, local government is the part of government that most directly impacts on their lives, particularly via the provision of local services like water, sanitation, primary education and primary healthcare.
USAID (2009) Democratic Decentralisation Programming Handbook.
The Democratic Decentralization Programming Handbook conceptualizes decentralization as a reform that advances the exercise of political freedom and individual economic choice in a context of stability and the rule of law. Decentralization invests new actors with public responsibilities. The newly involved actors that decentralization empowers (or should empower) include appointed officials in subnational administrations, elected officials in subnational governments, and increasingly engaged citizens themselves.
