This paper analyses the adequacy of the decentralization framework to achieve economic and social rights as provided for in international instruments and national documents, including the 1995 Constitution of Uganda. In particular, it assesses the power of citizens to elect into office, plan for, participate in and oversee the performance of service providers and to monitor the provision of services and government programs. It is a critical assessment of the extent to which the decentralized system of governance has succeeded in delivering services to the people in order to enable them realise their economic and social rights, in the selected districts of Gulu, Kampala and Kayunga. The paper makes the following key observations: • At the international level, there is a comprehensive legal framework that exists to support the promotion of economic and social rights. However, the legal and conceptual structures for the actual implementation of these rights are riddled with controversy. Such controversy tends to overshadow the fact that these are guaranteed human rights which every human being is entitled to. The philosophical argument that these rights are merely aspirations, policies and programmes rather than real’ rights has affected the gravity with which central and local government institutions plan for, implement and monitor them. Views have persisted in local governments that economic and social rights are simply spin-offs of economic processes rather than legal entitlements. In the same regard, Ugandans have not been able to adequately perceive public service deliveryas a measure to achieve these rights or to effectively and authoritatively demand for them. • Public service delivery under a highly centralized system of governance did not achieve much for the majority of Ugandans, who remained unaware of the key development processes including the planning, implementation and monitoring services. Undoubtedly, decentralization has resulted in more basic and geographically customized units of governance being constituted nearer the ordinary person. Nonetheless, challenges are noted in promoting a human rights based approach to development, especially in ensuring equality and non discrimination, increased accountability and the consideration of vulnerable groups for specialized and measured interventions. In the absence of a ‘rights’ consciousness among service providers and beneficiaries under decentralization, some of the drawbacks associated with centralized governance systems, such as centralized and iv technocrat based decision making processes, limited consultation with citizens, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few elites, tend to resurface. • The Central Government’s commitment to ensuring that Ugandans progressively realize their economic and social rights can be gauged from the human, financial and technical resources devoted towards decentralized service provision. While 90% of local government funding is from the centre, these resources have been inadequate and are allocated in an untimely, uncoordinated and ineffective manner. The essence of decentralization is to promote good governance and democratic participation. However, the majority of funds for decentralized service delivery are conditional and earmarked, raising questions about the autonomy of district leaders in planning for services and also the degree of citizens’participation in identifying and prioritising service delivery programmes. • The lack of clarity between the roles and mandates of Central government functionaries and local government officials has led to hostile relations betweenthetwo entities. In turn this has affected anticipated outputs at the various levels of local government. The tensions have also tended to mar the effective allocation, collection and distribution of resources towards public services, as well as implementation and supervision. • Government seems to lack a clear framework for service delivery in conflict situations and the war torn areas continue to be the worst affected in terms of rights realization. • This paper makes the case that while decentralisation is not without its challenges and shortcomings, it nevertheless provides a useful framework and mechanism for democratic participation and the empowerment of local people, with the ability to improve service delivery. In light of the above observations, the following recommendations are proposed: The capacity of local governance personnel to engage in service delivery must be greatly boosted, especially through applying the human rights based approach to development, in budgeting, information development and communication skills, gender analysis and in programme monitoring.

Article 77(1) of the Local government Act, CAP, 243, empowers local governments to formulate, approve and execute their budgets and Work plans. Also Section.35 of the Act confers planning Authority to the District Council and this is what has been done in the preparation of this Medium Term Expenditure Framework as a basis for annual planning and budgeting. This District has been facing a number of challenges in the process of delivering services to the people. Among these include, lack of Ambulance in the District hospital, Increasing population which do not match with the available resources, Deterioration of Road infrastructures especially during rainy seasons, Lack of enough permanent structures in Primary schools as a result of increasing enrolments in primary schools, high labour turnover especially in Health sector, lack of sanitation facilities in public places like Markets, schools. However, the District has tried through funding from the central Government and Implementing partners to overcome some of the challenges i.e. rehabilitate most of the Roads, Equip Health Units with drugs and other equipments, Recruit and motivate Medical doctors (7 Doctors) through Top-up allowances at Hospital and HCIV level and also acquired an Ambulance for the district hospital, Constructed staff houses for Health workers and Teachers, Facilitated OVC with school fees and health support through donor funding, Construction of Pit latrines in Rural Growth Centres and schools.
