Abstract

The current system of decentralization has come with additional responsibilities and so takes cognizance of various international and national commitments from donor agencies including the World Bank towards the management of development processes. In their attempt to envisage the future of Ghana’s decentralization policy there is agreement that the alteration in the country’s decentralization ought to be accompanied by the requisite human resource (HR) and financial capacities. To understand the HR and financial situation at the District Assemblies (DAs) requires an appreciation of the HR and financial capacity needs in both rural and urban areas of the country and the peculiar characteristics of the different DAs. This chapter examines Decentralized Reforms and Local Government in terms of Financial and Human Resource Capacities of Sub-National Structures in Ghana. Specifically, the study sought to ascertain the views of workers of the Assemblies on the institutional arrangements at the District Assemblies in respect of their human Resource and financial capacities; the existing and required number of personnel at the assembly and their associated development outcomes.
