The study objectives were; to establish the contributions of Fiscal Decentralization in Lyantonde District, Uganda, to examine the effect of fiscal decentralization on health service delivery in Lyantonde District, Uganda and to determine the relationship between fiscal decentralization and health service delivery in Lyantonde District. Uganda. This study was used descriptive research design. The purpose of employ this method was to describe the nature of a situation, as it exists at the time of the study and to explore the causes of particular phenomena. The descriptive approach was also quick and more practical. The population of Lyantonde District was 18000 people (Uganda Demographic Survey. 2016). The research population of 130 as a target population representing district development officers. community leaders, peasants and District health officials. The study used Sloven’s formula to determine the sample size of the actual respondents and the sample size is 98 respondents. 1 he researcher used varieties of sampling which included: Purposive and random sampling. Data \\flS collected from primary and secondary sources using questionnaires and interviews. After collecting data. the researcher organized well-answered questionnaire. data was edited and sorted for the next stage. The data was presented in tabular form. pie charts and bar graphs \\ iii frequencies and percentages. It was found out that fiscal decentralization can improve the efficiency of public service delivery through preference matching and allocative efficiency where by 20 (20.4%) respondents strongly disagreed. The results presented in the table above show that Fiscal decentralization can improve the efficiency of public service delivery throu~h preference matching and allocative efficiency where by 21 (2 1.4%) respondents disagreed. The study concludes that fiscal decentralization can improve the efficiency of public service delivery through preference matching and allocative efficiency. Local governments possess better access to local preferences and. consequently. have an informational advantage over the central government in deciding which provision of goods and services would best satisfy citizens’ needs. There needs to he more discussion and agreement on the degree of balanced distribution of fiscal resources among different regions. The study recommends that the revenue—sharing formula should be transparent. Furthermore, there is need to create some incentives for the development of own-source revenue at the regional and local level. xi Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Background of the Study In the last quarter of the 9~ Century. countries the world over have attempted to implement decentralization by transferring responsibilities of the state to lower tiers of government. Significantly, most of these lower government administrative units have been established to provide for administrative, fiscal and political aspects under decentralization strategy (World Bank Policy Research Paper, May 2015). In Africa, the issue of decentralization has been hotly debated in Nigeria for the past decade. Following the collapse of the military dictatorship in I 991 . few Somalis open lv advocate for the return to a centralized authoritarian state that monopolizes power in Mogadishu. For many Nigerians, some form of decentralization is necessary (Akin, Hutchinson & Strump[ 2001). In Uganda, rural development structures gradually moved from local authorities to more legitimate and representative structures after 1995 constitution, and resulted in a rural development law at the end of

  • Masaka Regional Referral Hospital
    Masaka Regional Referral Hospital Having started in 1927 as a treatment centre for World War I veterans, Masaka Regional Referral Hospital was elevated to regional referral status in 1996. Mugisha Ereazer, the principal Hospital Administrator says the hospital has a 330 bed capacity with an annual admission of 23,456 patients giving a bed occupancy rate of 90.6%. With the completion of a new mega hospital facility, the bed capacity is expected to increase to about 540 beds. The hospital's catchment is spread across eight districts ± Masaka, Rakai, Lyantonde, Lwengo, Ssembabule, Bukomamnsimbi, Kalungu and Kalagala, taking care of over two million people. The infrastructural capacity of Masaka regional referral hospital has been limited too. Masaka Regional Referral hospital offers all services expected of a regional referral health facility but also offers nutritional support for both children and adults. It also handles complicated paediatric and gynaecological cases including carrying out fistula repairs. It has also teamed up with MIFUMI ± a national NGO project ± to offer support to victims of gender-based violence from Burundi, Rwanda, the DR Congo and Tanzania. Being along the busy Mombasa - Kampala - Mbarara - Kigali Highway makes it the first point of call for patients mainly accident victims from Burundi, Rwanda, the DR Congo and Tanzania. Consequently , the hospital©s average daily contact with patients is about 2,000. At Masaka Hospital, the patients are very excited about how they are treated and now refer to the hospital as `Mulago'. The staff members are overstretched especially in the maternity ward. Up to 40 babies can be born in one night with 3 midwives on duty.
