The article discusses how social funds and decentralization can improve local governance. Social funds help poor communities participate in projects, while decentralization gives more power to local governments. The study looked at seven countries at different stages of decentralization to see how social funds and decentralization interact. The findings show that these approaches can sometimes conflict with each other.
