| Résumé: | This chapter provides a brief account of Kerala state’s decentralization
process and its achievements, particularly in relation to participatory budgeting and
women’s empowerment. The chapter describes the process of development as
expanding people’s capabilities, and strengthening of local government by
devolving functions and finances. With efforts to actively involve people in local
governance at every stage, and embed women’s empowerment and poverty
reduction in the system, the powers and functions of the grama sabha are actually
embedded in the people. Using case studies of women’s empowerment, this chapter
highlights the lessons learnt from these reformed structures and processes. |
