dc.description.abstractLocalisation has its limits; there is reason to believe that effective voice and distributive policies are better exercised at national level. This paper highlights some of the paradoxes of decentralisation for women and shows how these dilemmas link to women’s rights. Where benefits of decentralisation can be demonstrated, it is not guaranteed that these are extended to women. In terms of advancing gender equity, benefits are not necessarily extended to all categories of women with similar effect. The institutionalization of rights-based approaches can further frameworks of obligations that move towards increasing democratic governance.en
