    A tale of fiscal decentralization and governance of Burundi, pp. 171-197,
    (Cahiers du CURDES, 2016-12) NDAYITWAYEKO Willy Marcel; NTUNZWENIMANA Jackson; NYAMWERU Jean-Claude,
    In 2005, the Government of Burundi took a series of piecemeal steps towards fiscal decentralization as an important approach to promote democratic space, economic growth and socio-political stability. This paper reports the process of fiscal decentralization and its plausible link with governance. A Model based on panel data analysis was estimated to explain the association between fiscal decentralization and some governance indicators in the 2010-2013 period. The estimation results reveal population and governance indicators to influence the fiscal decentralization reforms in Burundi. However, resource endowments were found to hinder such reforms. An effort should be devoted to comprehend the impact of these factors in order to design and implement proper fiscal decentralization policies.
