Paragraph
Paragraph text
The challenges of political structures, whether federal systems or decentralization measures, do have an impact on law, policy and programmatic design, on the provision of financial support and service provision, and on responsibility and accountability, among other issues. Fragmentation, lack of coherence and consistency, and the possibility of politicization of issues is a reality in some contexts. This has an impact on State responsibility in the provision of substantive services in an equitable manner to all citizens.
Legal status
