Decentralization: Interviews
The ISS oral history program encourages public servants to reflect on their experiences in public sector management. The interviews in this section highlight conversations about building institutions after conflict or where capacity falls short. They also discuss ways to improve the ability of governments to offer a variety of services. Many of the interviews can be downloaded to smartphones, MP3 players or other downloadable media, both in audio form and as transcripts, subject to limitations noted.
