Abstract
This paper reports partially on a study of the efficacy of urban governance institutions following decentralisation in the state of Kerala, India in three sectors – health, education and sanitation. The study was funded by the Ford Foundation. This paper focuses primarily on the education sector.
Within the larger study, shifts in urban governance were conceptualised as undergoing qualitative transitions with regards to 1) efficiency in terms of cost effectiveness and greater inclusion in the delivery of objectives of the service sector; 2) transparency and accountability to stakeholders and 3) participation in decision making and implementation. The aim of the wides study was therefore to identify, examine and compare the new forms of governance with what existed earlier with respect to the nature of the shift, the significant features and the impact of the shift.
