Introduction : a strategic framework for municipal capacity building in finance -- Diagnosing current capacity -- Focusing financial goals -- Enhancing tax revenues -- Exploiting charges -- Towards better budgeting -- Controlling costs -- Accounting reform -- Finance for investment -- Framework for action.
摘要:Finance is a critical issue for municipal governments around the world and a major constraint on the delivery of pro-poor services at the local level. In many countries decentralisation has brought the issue of municipal finance to the fore. This sourcebook provides a framework for analysing municipal finance capacity and ways of addressing financial constraints. The ideas come from real-life innovative practice in four countries - India Brazil Kenya and Uganda - with additional examples from elsewhere. Emphasis is given to how those innovations and improvements were developed and sustained. T.
