This paper considers the opportunities and challenges presented by the decentralisation of government responsibility to sub-national, particularly provincial or regional tiers of government. It does so through consideration of the South African system of co-operative governance. The focus of the paper is on opportunities to improve service delivery through greater accountability and transparency, while optimising relations between different tiers of government.
