Devolution of Powers

Devolution of powers refers to the process by which central governments transfer authority and responsibility to local or regional governments. This allows local entities to make decisions on certain issues, like education, health, and transportation, tailored to their communities' needs. Devolution aims to enhance local governance, improve public service delivery, and encourage citizen participation. It can take various forms, such as administrative, fiscal, or political devolution, and is often seen in federal systems where states or provinces have distinct powers from the national government. Overall, it seeks to balance power and enhance democratic representation.
