Decentralization – 2015

2015

No Implementation No implementation

The 2015 agreement devolved a number of national competencies to the regional level. In particular, the Accord created a Regional Assembly that would be directly elected and a President of the Assembly who would serve as the region’s chief executive. The regional government is responsible for economic planning, education, agriculture, some taxes, and local police.

In November, national policies for decentralization were drafted but not operationalized.[1]
