Over half of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa lives in five countries. As such, decentralization in these five federal and quasi-federal countries plays a critical role in determining progress on inclusive development in these countries and sets the tone for decentralization and localization in the region. For these “big five”, what directions have decentralization and localization reforms taken in recent years? What have been the drivers? Is this different from the rest of the region?
