Decentralization can improve services and reduce poverty. Recent research shows that giving more power to local governments can lead to better service delivery and help lift people out of poverty. Studies from around the world suggest that decentralized systems are more effective in providing services. The process of decentralization varies in different countries, and international organizations also play a role in supporting this approach.
