About The Book

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the Zimbabwe 2013 pro-decentralisation constitution on the country's development and the role of state decentralisation. It analyses the State and it has utilised decentralisation to support the achievement of sustainable development. It interrogates if the state is decentralising or strengthening its grip to reach the populace at territorial levels.

The significance of this title lies in its timeliness and importance as it tackles a critical matter in Zimbabwe: the transfer of power from the central government to subnational governments. This transfer has far-reaching consequences for the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) within the country. The political economy dimension of this subject sheds light on the intricate interplay between political interests, economic factors, and power dynamics that shape the process of decentralisation. As Zimbabwe endeavors to meet the SDG targets, comprehending the political economy of state decentralisation becomes imperative in identifying potential obstacles and opportunities, as well as formulating effective strategies to achieve sustainable development.

The book provides a critical analysis of the state of decentralisation in Zimbabwe and its impacts on sustainable development. It highlights the potential benefits of decentralisation and the challenges that need to be addressed for it to be successful. It also raises important questions about the role of the state in decentralisation and how it can be held accountable. This book is a valuable resource for policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of decentralisation and its relationship with sustainable development in Zimbabwe.
