Decentralisation is the process of distributing power away from a central authority. This can be done for a number of reasons, including increasing efficiency, empowering local communities, or reducing corruption. There are a number of different ways to decentralise power, including devolution ( transferring power from the central government to regional or local governments), federalism ( dividing power between a central government and sub-national units), and privatisation ( transferring ownership and control of public assets to the private sector). Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best way to decentralise power depends on the specific context and goals of the country or organisation involved.
