Intergovernmental Transfers

Intergovernmental transfers are funds transferred by higher levels of government (like the national government) to lower levels (such as states, provinces, or local governments) to support public services and projects. These transfers help ensure that regions have the resources to provide essentials like education, healthcare, and infrastructure, especially when local revenues are insufficient. They can be in the form of grants, funding programs, or shared taxes, promoting coordination and equitable development across different government levels.
