The objectives for this research project were to examine the quality and type of support offered to community events through a case study of two neighbouring councils in the North Island of New Zealand; and to determine the impacts of events staged in the communities of both councils, including their influence on social capital building. The study found that both councils are supportive of the delivery of events by both council and non-council event organisers. The councils are providing human, financial and physical capital to enable the output of events. Event impacts – specifically social and economic impacts – were considered to be positive in nature. However, there is scope for greater strategic planning around community event delivery both by individual authorities and collaboratively, including the establishment of formal monitoring and evaluation systems. There is also scope to incorporate key lessons in regard to good practice, as identified by this study.
这一研究项目的目标是通过对新西兰北岛两个相邻理事会的案例研究,审查向社区活动提供的支持的质量和类型;并确定在两个委员会的社区中发生的事件的影响,包括它们对社会资本建设的影响。研究发现,两个委员会都支持委员会和非委员会活动组织者举办活动。理事会正在提供人力、财政和物质资本,使活动能够产出。事件影响——特别是社会和经济影响——被认为本质上是积极的。然而,围绕社区活动的开展,无论是由个别当局还是通过合作,都有更大的战略规划空间,包括建立正式的监测和评估系统。正如本研究确定的那样,还可以纳入关于良好做法的关键经验教训。

Botswana development vision and localisation of UN Sustainable Development Goals 博茨瓦纳发展愿景和联合国可持续发展目标本地化
IF 0.5 Pub Date : 2019-03-19 DOI: 10.5130/CJLG.V0I20.6469

This paper considers how the Botswana government could use the experiences of implementing the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to localise their successor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country’s new development strategy Vision 2036. Despite the recentralisation of some elements of service delivery (water, education, and health) reversing the decentralisation trend, Botswana attained respectable successes in achieving MDG targets. The localisation of development goals must however go beyond simply establishing effective and efficient decentralised local government units, to implementing local economic development strategies that enable communities to take an active role in national development processes. The primary question that this discussion paper seeks to answer is: can Botswana utilise lessons learnt in implementing the MDGs to the SDGs, to foster an empowered local community? The paper highlights how community empowerment is particularly critical in Botswana; on the one hand given the current over-dependence of the economy on a limited number of extractive, finite mineral resources, and on the other because of the multi-dimensional character of poverty and high income inequality afflicting Botswanans. The call for greater decentralisation in Botswana’s Vision 2036 provides a good example for the Commonwealth as it goes beyond the SDGs’ target date of 2030. KeywordsBotswana; Millennium Development Goals; Sustainable Development Goals; Vision 2036.
本文考虑博茨瓦纳政府如何利用实施联合国千年发展目标(MDGs)的经验,将其后续可持续发展目标(sdg)本地化到该国新的发展战略愿景2036中。尽管服务提供的某些要素(水、教育和卫生)重新集中,扭转了分散的趋势,博茨瓦纳在实现千年发展目标方面取得了可观的成功。然而,发展目标的地方化必须超越仅仅建立有效和有效率的分散的地方政府单位,而必须执行地方经济发展战略,使社区能够在国家发展进程中发挥积极作用。本讨论文件试图回答的主要问题是:博茨瓦纳能否利用从千年发展目标到可持续发展目标的实施过程中吸取的经验教训,培养一个赋权的地方社区?该文件强调了社区赋权在博茨瓦纳如何尤为重要;一方面是由于目前经济过分依赖数量有限的采掘和有限的矿物资源,另一方面是由于贫穷和严重的收入不平等的多方面特点折磨着博茨瓦纳人。博茨瓦纳的《2036年愿景》呼吁加强权力下放,为英联邦提供了一个很好的例子,因为它超越了可持续发展目标的2030年目标日期。KeywordsBotswana;千年发展目标;可持续发展目标;2036年愿景。

A rational decision-making process is essential for municipal governments, as it promotes progressive development and makes them more democratic and service-oriented. This study explores the decision-making process in Bangladesh’s Sylhet City Corporation (SCC). Both primary data via a survey of relevant respondents and secondary data were collected. The study found that, although both the mayor and councillors participate in making decisions at the SCC, it is the mayor who plays the dominant and vital role, exercising power by convincing councillors of his leadership qualities. For these reasons, the decision-making process of the SCC is not fully democratic. If councillors were able to play a greater role, the decisions of the SCC would be more collective.

合理的决策过程对市政府至关重要,因为它促进了渐进式发展,使市政府更加民主和服务型。本研究探讨了孟加拉国锡尔赫特市公司(SCC)的决策过程。通过对相关受访者的调查收集了主要数据和次要数据。研究发现,虽然市长和市议员都参与了SCC的决策,但市长发挥了主导和至关重要的作用,他通过说服市议员相信自己的领导素质来行使权力。由于这些原因,SCC的决策过程并不完全民主。如果市议员能够发挥更大的作用,SCC的决策将更加集体性。KeywordsDecision-making;城市地方政府;城市公司;市长;议员

Holding governments accountable for service delivery: the local government councils scorecard initiative in Uganda 追究政府提供服务的责任:乌干达地方政府委员会记分卡倡议

Uganda’s Local Government Councils Scorecard Initiative is a strategic social accountability initiative designed to enable citizens to demand excellence of their local governments and enable local governments to respond to citizen demands for effective and efficient service delivery. Begun in 2009, it is one of the signature programmes of Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE), a public policy research and advocacy think tank in Uganda. The initiative is implemented in partnership with the Uganda Local Governments Association. The centrepiece of the initiative is the local government council scorecard, a capacity-building tool for assessing the performance of district-level elected officials in accordance with roles and responsibilities set out in the Uganda’s Local Government Act 1997 (as amended). Incorporating multiple links in the supply and demand chain of good governance and accountability – citizens, civil society organisations, local government and central government – the administration of the scorecard and dissemination of performance results is grounded in an action research methodology. Follow the positive reception of the initiative after eight years of implementation in Uganda, it is hoped that other countries will look to adapt this methodology to engage in similar types of social accountability initiatives.
乌干达地方政府理事会记分卡倡议是一项战略性社会责任倡议,旨在使公民能够要求其地方政府卓越,并使地方政府能够响应公民对有效和高效服务提供的要求。它始于2009年,是发展与环境倡导联盟(ACODE)的标志性项目之一,ACODE是乌干达的一个公共政策研究和倡导智库。该倡议是与乌干达地方政府协会合作实施的。该倡议的核心是地方政府理事会记分卡,这是一种能力建设工具,用于根据《1997年乌干达地方政府法案》(经修订)规定的角色和责任评估区级民选官员的表现。将善治和问责制的供需链中的多个环节——公民、民间社会组织、地方政府和中央政府——结合起来,记分卡的管理和绩效结果的传播以行动研究方法为基础。在乌干达实施了八年之后,该倡议得到了积极的接受,希望其他国家将考虑调整这一方法,以参与类似类型的社会责任倡议。

Legislating community engagement at the Australian local government level 在澳大利亚地方政府层面为社区参与立法
IF 0.5 Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.5130/CJLG.V0I21.6515

Community engagement has assumed a more salient role in the operations of Australia’s local governments. A vast number of legislative instruments and reporting requirements are imposed upon local governments by the states and the Northern Territory across Australia’s seven local government jurisdictions. Consequently, a set of identifiable practices is solidifying as a core element of local government practice and state–local relations. However, while practices have recently proliferated, it is easy to forget that they are relatively new. This article examines the legislative frameworks of Australian local government systems by chronologically mapping the development of legislation and other reporting requirements. It is argued that community engagement now occupies a central place in local government, and that the jurisdictions use four different types of approaches, often simultaneously, which can fruitfully be described as ‘prescriptive’, ‘aspirational’, ‘empowering’ and ‘hedging’. The discussion draws comparative observations and identifies key issues and challenges for the future of community engagement. KeywordsCommunity engagement; Australia; local government; public participation; legislation
社区参与在澳大利亚地方政府的运作中发挥了更为突出的作用。在澳大利亚的七个地方政府管辖范围内,各州和北领地对地方政府施加了大量的立法文书和报告要求。因此,一套可识别的做法正在巩固为地方政府实践和州-地方关系的核心要素。然而,尽管实践最近激增,但很容易忘记它们是相对较新的。本文通过按时间顺序绘制立法和其他报告要求的发展图,考察了澳大利亚地方政府系统的立法框架。有人认为,社区参与现在在地方政府中占据中心地位,司法管辖区使用四种不同类型的方法,通常是同时使用的,这些方法可以被有效地描述为“规定”、“期望”、“授权”和“对冲”。讨论得出了比较观察结果,并确定了未来社区参与的关键问题和挑战。KeywordsCommunity参与;澳大利亚;地方政府;公众参与;立法

This article explores the participatory planning and participatory budgeting processes of Bangladesh. These processes, seen as ‘social accountability measures’, were introduced by the Local Government (Union Parishad) Act, 2009. This study used a qualitative case-study methodology, backed by secondary documentary analysis, to assess how the processes were working in six union parishads (the lowest tier of government in Bangladesh). On the basis of both primary and secondary data, the study found that involvement of non-governmental organisations was an effective method of enhancing the capacity of union parishad functionaries to implement participatory planning and participatory budgeting. Positive outcomes observed included increased people’s participation, identification of socio-economic concerns, increased trust in elected representatives, increased transparency, changes in patterns of service delivery and improved viability of direct fund transfers to local government institutions. However, challenges to local planning and budgeting were also identified: failure to link policy, planning and budgeting due to a lack of capacity among local elected and government officers, structural mismatches between local planning and budgeting and corresponding processes at regional and national level, resource constraints, and local political interference. 
本文探讨了孟加拉国的参与式规划和参与式预算流程。这些过程被视为“社会责任措施”,由2009年《地方政府(巴黎联盟)法》引入。本研究采用定性案例研究方法,以二级文献分析为基础,评估了六个联盟区(孟加拉国最低一级政府)的工作情况。根据第一手和第二手数据,研究发现非政府组织的参与是提高工会工作人员执行参与性规划和参与性预算编制能力的有效方法。观察到的积极成果包括增加人民参与、查明社会经济问题、增加对当选代表的信任、增加透明度、改变提供服务的模式和提高向地方政府机构直接转移资金的可行性。然而,也指出了地方规划和预算编制面临的挑战:由于地方民选官员和政府官员缺乏能力,未能将政策、规划和预算编制联系起来;地方规划和预算编制与区域和国家一级的相应进程之间的结构性不匹配;资源限制;地方政治干预。

The consequences of path dependency on funding for infill development in Victoria, Australia 路径依赖对澳大利亚维多利亚州填充式开发资金的影响
IF 0.5 Pub Date : 2018-08-18 DOI: 10.5130/CJLG.V0I20.6231

The increasing responsibility of the local government sector to provide and maintain a range of infrastructure is threatening its financial sustainability. The ‘development contributions’ system is one measure adopted by local government in Victoria, Australia to assist in the funding of infrastructure required as a result of new development. The development contributions system is intended to be used state-wide, but in practice the majority of development contributions have been collected in just seven Melbourne municipalities associated with greenfield development. In July 2012 the Victorian state government announced reforms to the system, which were eventually enacted in October 2016. These reforms are considered in this paper. Using two case studies of Hume City Council and Surf Coast Shire Council, this paper assesses the effectiveness of the new funding system for infill development in the Melbourne area. The findings suggest that the historic path dependency of the system has resulted in a missed opportunity as the new system remains fundamentally designed for greenfield development rather than highly important infill development.
地方政府部门提供和维护一系列基础设施的责任越来越大,这威胁到其财政可持续性。“发展捐款”制度是澳大利亚维多利亚州地方政府采取的一项措施,旨在为新开发所需的基础设施提供资金。开发捐款系统旨在全州范围内使用,但在实践中,大多数开发捐款仅在与绿地开发相关的墨尔本七个市镇收集。2012年7月,维多利亚州政府宣布对该系统进行改革,最终于2016年10月颁布。本文考虑了这些改革。本文利用休姆市议会和冲浪海岸郡议会的两个案例研究,评估了墨尔本地区填充式开发新资金系统的有效性。研究结果表明,该系统的历史路径依赖性导致了一次错失的机会,因为新系统仍然是为绿地开发而设计的,而不是非常重要的填充开发。

Intergovernmental planning and budgeting in Zimbabwe: learning the lessons of the past 津巴布韦政府间规划和预算编制:吸取过去的教训
IF 0.5 Pub Date : 2018-06-19 DOI: 10.5130/CJLG.V0I20.6140

In Zimbabwe, the Prime Minister’s Directives on Decentralisation and Development of 1984 and 1985, together with the Provincial Council and Administration Act 1985, constitute the foundation for post-independence attempts to ensure effective governance. The Directives provided for the establishment of hierarchical structures and mechanisms to coordinate government activities, including development planning at various levels of government. This paper asks whether these structures and mechanisms have been effective in promoting ‘sound’ intergovernmental planning and budgeting, and whether they are still relevant given that in 2013 Zimbabwe adopted a new Constitution with greater promises, visions and demands than its predecessor, the Lancaster House Constitution. The paper argues that the adoption of a new Constitution provides a valuable opportunity to reform the intergovernmental planning and budgeting process, which to date has proved ineffective in fostering integrated and coherent effective governance.
在津巴布韦,1984年和1985年总理关于权力下放和发展的指示,以及1985年《省议会和行政法》,构成了独立后确保有效治理的基础。《指示》规定建立分级结构和机制,以协调政府活动,包括各级政府的发展规划。本文询问这些结构和机制在促进“健全”的政府间规划和预算编制方面是否有效,以及鉴于2013年津巴布韦通过了一部新宪法,其承诺、愿景和要求比其前身兰开斯特众议院宪法更大,这些结构和机制是否仍然有效。该文件认为,新《宪法》的通过为改革政府间规划和预算编制过程提供了一个宝贵的机会,迄今为止,这一过程在促进综合和连贯的有效治理方面被证明是无效的。

While ward committees and Integrated Development Planning (IDP) representative forums constitute formal participatory mechanisms in South Africa’s local government, little is known about the potential of local approaches in enhancing participation in municipal planning. This paper examines alternative approaches to participation based on research conducted in Langa – a township situated on the Cape Flats of Cape Town. The paper highlights approaches to residents’ participation in planning tested during the ‘interregnum’ – the period when ward committees are in abeyance due to elections. The study found that, while IDP participatory processes facilitated awareness of participation, ward councillors were crucial in operationalising participation that reflects the diversity of the community.
虽然区委员会和综合发展规划(IDP)代表论坛构成了南非地方政府的正式参与机制,但人们对地方办法在加强参与市政规划方面的潜力知之甚少。本文以在开普敦开普平原的兰加镇进行的研究为基础,探讨了参与的其他途径。这篇论文重点介绍了在“过渡期”(即区委员会因选举而暂停工作的时期)测试的居民参与规划的方法。研究发现,虽然国内流离失所者参与进程促进了参与意识,但区议员在实施反映社区多样性的参与方面至关重要。
