  2. What factors contribute to, or prevent, the decentralisation of budgeting?

  3. Under what circumstances does devolved budgeting yield the greatest impacts? (This includes effectiveness of interventions, critical success factors and barriers, and the dynamics between central ministries and devolved and decentralised units
