Local government is at the forefront of development. In South Africa the ambitious policy objectives of post-apartheid reconstruction and development hinge on the successful creation of a democratic tier of government close to the people. An entirely new system of 'developmental local government' has thus been introduced. As is the case in many developing countries, the responsibilities of municipalities in South Africa have been extended dramatically, often without adequate resources. Managing municipalities for development therefore requires political will and strategic intervention. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to developmental local government. It includes: the design of the new local government system and the issues posed by decentralisation; an overview of specific challenges of urban and rural municipalities; a discussion of special issues facing local government including poverty, gender and environment; new tools for local government, including budgeting, indicators, municipal partnerships and capacity building.

Africa is changing and it is easy to overlook how decentralization, democratization, and new forms of illiberalism have transformed federalism, political parties, and local politics. Chapters on Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South Africa help fill an important gap in comparative institutional research about state and local politics in Africa.

The aim of this book is fourfold: firstly, to investigate, compare and analyze the role and functions of traditional authorities in four African states; secondly, to reflect on the relationship between traditional authorities and local and national governments by investigating the formal and informal arrangements that exist between them; thirdly, to provide an overview of the role afforded to traditional authorities, by indicating their functions, decision-making powers and administrative functions; and finally, to provide possible lessons for South Africa deduced from these experiences.
