Decentralisation in West Africa : the implications for urban climate change governance : the cases of Saint-Louis (Senegal) and Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) / Loan Diep, Diane Archer, Cheikh Gueye. - London : IIED, 2016. - 59 p. : col. ill. maps ; 30 cm - IIED working paper. .
Includes bibliographical references.
This paper examines the linkages between decentralisation and urban climate governance through a literature review, supported by two city case studies: Saint-Louis in Senegal and Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso.
The paper explores how urban development needs, and the responsibilities, policies and processes required to meet them, are shaped, facilitated or constrained in a context of decentralisation. The case studies demonstrate that there have been a number of initiatives seeking to address climate change, nationally and locally.
However, decentralisation needs to progress further: there remains confusion due to overlapping roles and responsibilities between the central government and agencies acting at different levels, and financing at the city scale remains a challenge.
