Decentralization’s Effects on Education and Health
The authors explore the effects of decentralization on education and health in Ethiopia using an original database covering all of the country’s regions and woredas (local governments). Ethiopia is a remarkable case in which war, famine and chaos in the 1970s-1980s were followed by federalization, decentralization, rapid growth and dramatic improvements in human development. Did decentralization contribute to these successes? The authors use time series and panel data analyses to show that decentralization improved net enrollments in primary schools and access to antenatal care for pregnant women. The main channel appears to be institutional, not fiscal. The authors offer the database as an additional contribution.

description |
The authors explore the effects of
decentralization on education and health in Ethiopia using
an original database covering all of the country’s regions
and woredas (local governments). Ethiopia is a remarkable
case in which war, famine and chaos in the 1970s-1980s were
followed by federalization, decentralization, rapid growth
and dramatic improvements in human development. Did
decentralization contribute to these successes? The authors
use time series and panel data analyses to show that
decentralization improved net enrollments in primary schools
and access to antenatal care for pregnant women. The main
channel appears to be institutional, not fiscal. The authors
offer the database as an additional contribution. |
