This course aims to strengthen understanding on the concepts and principles of decentralisation and the fundamentals underlying local self governing institutions. PRIA’s experience of 30 years in the area of Governance indicates that strengthening the local self governing institutions and empowering the people on local government is a responsible task. So here an attempt is made to establish and explain the need for local self governance and decentralisation and the challenges faced by them. This course will look at the constitutional mandate, statutory provisions and functional organisation related to local self governing institutions taking India as an example to explain the concept. Reference would also be made to the financial status of local bodies, decentralised planning as a method and the accountability mechanisms used in local self governing institutions.For more details of "Local Self Governance"click here...

In all societies there exist groups and individuals that are socially excluded on the basis of identity, religion, culture, caste, ethnicity etc. by powerful groups. The excluding conditions are often predominately local in nature. That is why local authorities have a key role to play in promoting and in seeking solutions to social exclusion. This course will detail the role of the local governments, their mandate and effectiveness in dealing with issues of social exclusion and highlight reforms in local governance institutions that have generated legal and technical apparatus to institutionalize participation of the most marginalized section of the society.For more details of "Participatory Approaches for Social Inclusion in Development Programmes" click here...
Social Audit, a term used as far back as in the 1950s, is a process to ensure transparency and accountability in the system of Governance to promote people’s participation. It is not a fault finding tool but a system to understand, measure and assess the implementation of the schemes and plans to improve the effectiveness of the local governance. It has been used as a process to empower people to question the systems, processes and authorities in order to assert their rights. This course will give an outline of the different approaches to social accountability and will also give relevance to the term ‘accountability from below’ in the present context.For more details of "Participatory Social Audit: A Tool for Social Accountability" click here..
