CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction This chapter presents the background to the study. statement of the problem. the purpose of the study, objectives of the study. research questions and assumptions. scope of the study, significance of the study, the justification of the study and the operational definitions of terms and concepts as applied to suit the context of the study. 1.1 Background of tIre Study This section encompasses thur perspectives namely historical, theoretical. conceptual and contextual perspectives. 1.1.1 HistorIcal perspective In the last quarter century. over 78 countries have attempted to transfer responsibilities of the state to local government. Significantly. most or these local governments have been elected, so that the decentralization is not just administrative or fiscal, but also political. The motivation for decentralization has varied (Akin et al., 2005). In Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. it was part or the political and economic transformation; in Latin America, it was to reinforce the transition to democracy; in South Africa, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. it was a response to ethnic or regional conflict; and in Chile, Cote d'Ivoire Somalia and Somaliland it was to improve the delivery of basic services. Even when it is not explicit improving health service delivery is an implicit motivation behind most of these decentralization efforts (Nsimbambi. 1998).
