Abstract

This paper examines the impact of decentralization on local administrative efficiency and service delivery. By
reviewing the latest literature and analyzing case studies from decentralized govern ance models, the study highlights
how decentralization improves the responsiveness, accountability, and accessibility of services in local governments.
The methodology includes a comparative analysis of performance metrics in centralized and decentralized systems,
drawing from both qualitative and quantitative data. The findings suggest that decentralization enhances local
governance by reducing bureaucracy, improving service delivery speed, and fostering greater community
involvement. The paper concludes b y discussing challenges and suggesting directions for future research in this
area.
