Case studies on decentralization
Supported by the local government. Most financial support for running the anti- drug activities came from central government agencies and NGOs. One local leader reported that a group of residents submitted a proposal for anti- drug activities to the municipality as part of its annual plan, but it was rejected due to budget constraints. This incident discouraged the local people from participating in local government attempts to cut down on illegal drug use;
they preferred to receive support from other sources in order to run their own activities rather than collaborate with local government .lt was also found that NGOs did not take part in local government anti- drug campaigns; they reasoned that the budget allocated by the municipality for these activities was very small and unreliable, and incapable of having any meaningful impact.
