1. The document discusses three components of decentralization: political, fiscal, and institutional. Political decentralization involves transferring powers from national to local governments. Fiscal decentralization aims to make local governments more financially self-reliant. Institutional decentralization involves harnessing non-government partners to deliver services. 2. The impacts of decentralization include empowering local leaders, allowing cultures to influence development, improving financial management, and clarifying roles between government levels. Non-government partners are trained and monitored to efficiently deliver programs under institutional decentralization.

them, the former may take such action or step as prescribed by law to make them

governments & provide policies & technical expertise but they must recognize that in
the principle of subsidiarity, the decentralized entity - the LGU, is the nearest to the
people .
