Decentralisation and local governance support are today major fields in international development co-operation. Over a number of years, bilateral and multilateral donors, NGOs and partner governments have accumulated a considerable wealth of experience in this area. This study presents a synthesis of recent evaluations of programmes and projects supporting decentralisation and local governance in developing countries. It identifies lessons learned and areas in need of further research. It also provides a number of  findings and insights based on practical experience from various donors and countries.
