| Summary, etc. |
This article examines how the historical conext of poor central-local realtions and ineffiecient service delivery structure is used by the current military-led government in Fiji as a ploy for its local government reform agenda. Based on an analysis of secondary information on local government sturcture and a review of the reforms undertaken by the Review/Reform Committee, this article identifies the concentration of economic and political power at the central level as one of the major obstacles towards empowering local governance in Fiji. The article emphasizes the need for effective institutional reforms to develope governance and resources from the centre to the grassroots. - Reproduced. |
