Abstract:
All issuers in China’s local government bond market, which is nascent but growing rapidly, have the same AAA ratings. However, we provide evidence that the credit rating agency’s reputation can certify differences in ratings’ reliability and further impact bond pricing. On the basis of a sample of 7941 local government bonds issued from 2015 to 2021, results show that risk premium is significantly low for bonds rated by prestigious credit rating agencies, which means that issuers can save borrowing costs. Moreover, local governments regarded as less transparent in fiscal information disclosure enjoy more cost savings for their bonds by hiring more reputable agencies. Regression results are affirmed with the Heckman two-stage model, difference-in-differences regression, and machine learning method to solve the potential endogeneity issue. This paper’s findings contribute to the debate on the credit rating agency’s reputation hypothesis and present three implications. First, investors can rely on the credit rating agency’s reputation to complement credit risk analysis. Second, local government policymakers should implement appropriate policies to reduce debt costs and improve public finance sustainability. Lastly, regulators should considerably focus on the supervision of credit rating agencies, given their substantial impact on bond pricing and the market’s information asymmetry.

Abstract:
When it comes to identifying and accessing government information sources, publications from local government offices and departments can be one of the toughest areas out there. Local or municipal governments are typically categorized based on the category of government subdivision they fit, such as counties, cities, towns, or districts, but they are more frequently requested and accessed based on the surrounding geography. Some functions can be carried out in partnership with other government entities, as when a water or parks district works in concert with a county government; or when agencies at the regional level work directly under the mandate of a state or provincial government.

Abstract:
This study examined 97 Texas government agencies’ access to in formal ion about hazards in their communities. The data indicate that printed products are still used more extensively than Internet products, which suggests that the transition from print to electronic dissemination of hazard analysis information should not exceed local agencies’ ability to access the Internet. Moreover, land use planners (LUPs) consistently were found to use computer applications more than emergency management coordinators (EMCs). This suggests that federal and state agencies should consider facilitating EMCs’ access to hazard analysis information by utilizing the computer applications with which their target audience is most familiar. Moreover, EMCs are more likely to make use of sophisticated hazard modeling applications if they have successfully mastered more basic computer applications or if they have partnered with LUPs in their communities who have mastered the advanced computer applications.

Full text
Abstract:
The Constitutional Court strongly shows the effect of functional power control through judgment on disputes on jurisdiction in that judgment on disputes on jurisdiction facilitates the performance of state functions by maintaining an objective authority order and a system to protect the normative effect of the Constitution through checks and balances between horizontal and vertical powers of state agencies and local governments. It can be understood that the relationship between ‘state agencies and local governments’ is the same as the relationship between ‘state and local governments’ in that agencies of the state or local governments exist for the state or local governments, but the legal effect resulting from the act of an agency belongs to the state or local government, which is a juridical person, as a subject of laws, not the agency. Judgment on disputes on jurisdiction and agency litigation are basically the same in that they argue over authority between juridical persons or the agencies. Since agency litigation is a lawsuit between opposing agencies that has the meaning of separation of powers in the distribution of authority within the organization, the limited theory, which means a lawsuit between internal agencies of the same juridical person, is considered reasonable. It is a constitutional decision that the current Constitution stipulates “local governments” as a party to judgment on disputes on jurisdiction, and the Constitutional Court Act stipulates that “violation of authority granted by law” should be seen as embodying constitutional decisions in that much of the “jurisdiction dispute between state agencies and local governments” or “jurisdiction dispute between local governments” is legal disputes. Local governments need agencies because they cannot exercise their authority on their own, and the agency exercises its own authority for local governments. The legal effect caused by the exercise of that jurisdiction belongs to the local government, which is the subject of the law, but it would be reasonable for the party to dispute for jurisdiction infringement to have its own jurisdiction and to become an agency to actually exercise that jurisdiction.

Abstract:
Strategic planning has been emphasized in the public sector to enhance government performance and accountability. However, little empirical research exists on participative management in strategic planning and its impact on employees' job satisfaction in government agencies. This study explores the relationships between employees' perceived input in strategic plan development, knowledge of the strategic plan, role clarity in strategic planning, and job satisfaction in local government agencies. The results of multiple regression analysis demonstrate that employees who perceive they have input in a department's strategic plan development express higher levels of job satisfaction than others who do not. The present study also supports the view that employees' clear understanding of their roles in accomplishing the goals in strategic plan is positively associated with job satisfaction. In this regard, organizational leaders' commitment to participative management and empowerment in the process of strategic planning should be emphasized in the public sector.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the relation of attitude, ethical climate-principle, perceived behavioral control, and personal cost on whistleblowing intention with organizational commitment as a moderating variable. This study uses the moderating regression analysis method. The sample used is employees who work in the Office of the Inspectorate and the Regional Finance and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD) of Pasuruan Regency. The variables of attitude and perceived behavioral control have a positive effect on whistleblowing intention, the variable of ethical climate principle has no effect on whistleblowing intention, and the variable of personal cost has a negative effect on whistleblowing intention as the results of this study. Further results also inform that the variable of organizational commitment as moderating variable and strengthen the role of the theory of planned behavior in shaping a government apparatus intention as a whistle blower.

Abstract:
In 1984 the Hawke Government appointed a National Inquiry to review the federal revenue-sharing grants for local government introduced eight years previously, and to propose desirable aims and a basis for future federal support. Australian local government is on a small scale and closely under the control of state governments; federal support raises complex issues of intergovernmental relations. In this paper, the wide-ranging Report of Inquiry, and its political outcome, are related to basic issues about federal-state relations and the rationale and extent of federal interventions. In particular, the Australian experience is interesting for its attempts at combining vertical redistribution of revenue with ambitious and detailed equalisation policies, financed at federal level but administered by independent state agencies.

Abstract:
In Indonesia, local government accountability is a reflection of its performance that can be seen from the disclosure of local government financial statements in accordance with Government Regulation (PP) Number 71 of 2010 concerning Government Accounting Standards. Based on the reference and the previous study, the level of adequacy of financial statement disclosure is influenced by several factors: audit findings, legislative size, local government budget expenditure, intergovernmental revenue, and the number of local governments’ agencies. This study analyzes the effect of those factors on the disclosure of local government financial statements in Central Java Provence, Indonesia from 2017 to 2019. This is a quantitative study with secondary data types obtained from Local Government Financial Report Examination Results (LHP LKPD) districts/cities in Central Java Province in 2017 – 2019. The sample consists of 75 local government financial statement disclosure from 34 districts or cities obtained through purposive sampling methods. The analysis method uses multiple linear regression. The result shows audit findings and local government budget expenditure affect the disclosure of local government financial statements. Meanwhile, the legislative size, intergovernmental revenue and number of local governments agencies do not affect the local government financial statements disclosure. This research can be used as an evaluation for local governments in increasing transparency and accountability in their financial management by applicable laws and regulations. This study has limitations that do not describe the overall level of disclosure of local government financial statements, in future research, it is expected to use a longer period and expand the research area.

Abstract:
Control of local governments in countries around the world is very diverse,but mainly divided into two categories: 1) control of state agencies (central government control, court control, control of local power representations); 2) control of social institutions including political party control over local government, control of organizations and public associations, control of the media, and control of the people. The paper focuses on analysing the controlling local governments in some countries, thereby giving reference values for Vietnam.

Abstract:
This thesis is about the capacity of local government agencies in Makassar (Indonesia) to provide services to the public. Besides aiming to understand the institutional capacity of local government agencies, the research also examines the role internal and external factors play in determining the service delivery capacity of public organisations. Internal factors refer to the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in public organisations. External factors refer to the degree of bureaucratic and political accountability as well as the level of competition experienced by government agencies. ¶ This research will enrich the existing development literature by strengthening our understanding of the ways in which internal and external factors strengthen or weaken the capacity of public sector institutions. ¶ Institutional capacity is measured by the quality of services provided by the local government agencies as assessed by their clients through both questionnaires and interviews, whereas the data regarding the role internal and external factors play in determining the institutional capacity of local government agencies were collected by in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with the management and staff in a number of agencies, with high-level bureaucrats, with non-government organisations and business associations, and members of the Makassar parliament. ¶ This study concludes that the institutional capacity of local government agencies in the case studies varies, although overall institutional capacity is relatively low or unsatisfactory. Of the four agencies in the case studies, only one agency was able to deliver quality services higher than the level expected by its clients. ¶ In general, this research reveals that the degree of accountability of the local government agencies in the case studies is relatively weak. The study infers that the degree of accountability does not have a significant impact on the agencies' performance. ¶ It was found that the competitive or monopolistic environment in which the local government agencies operate does affect the capacity of the agencies to serve their clients. This capacity is also affected by a number of aspects within the organisation and human resource dimensions of the agencies. ¶ This study shows that, in the case of Indonesia, attempts to improve the capacity of government agencies to deliver quality public services by improving the capacity of parliament to politically oversee the executive, as recommended by a number of international agencies and commentators, may not be the best and most effective alternative. Rather than focusing the resources to improve the degree of political accountability, the study suggests that a more effective strategy to develop the capacity of government agencies is to enhance the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in the public organizations, and to introduce competition into the delivery of public services.

Abstract:
Top executives are interested in more transparent and formalized structures, applicable measurements, and clear justification of alignment. Limited or improper information technology governance (ITG) affects the business strategy that will ultimately influence the overall business alignment in local city government agencies (LCGAs). The problem addressed in this study was the lack of information regarding LCGAs IT/business strategic alignment maturity model (SAMM) level and the LCGAs' employment size. The purpose of this survey study was to evaluate 48 LCGA participants in the Southwestern part of the United States and compare their alignment perceptions with their cities' employment size. The theoretical framework for this study was based on ITG and business strategy as measured by the SAMM instrument. An online survey was used for data collection and data results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an Analysis of Variance. After using the SAMM instrument, the current snapshot maturity level of LCGAs was 2.49 out of a maximum 5.0 level. Results illustrated no significant relationship between LCGAs alignment maturity levels and a city's size. This study empowers positive social change by providing LCGAs 6 incremental steps to improve the overall alignment maturity level in areas of transparent and formalized structures, applicable measurements, and improved alignment measures.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
The Republic of South Africa has drawn increasing attention from the international community for its new approaches towards solving a variety of problems and thus enhancing good governance in Africa in general. Such problems include, but are not limited to, poverty and systemic corruption. The constitutional and legislative frameworks that underpin governance in municipalities are identified and explained. These constitutional and legislative frameworks include the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (RSA, Act 108 of 1996) and the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (RSA, Act 56 of 2003). The manifestations and consequent dangers of poor governance as well as strategies to instil good governance in municipal functionaries are also identified. The manifestations of poor governance include poor financial management, ill-advised appointments and misguided patriotism in service delivery. The consequences of poor governance in local government include high incidents of violence, decline in municipal service payments and the consequent deterioration in service delivery. It is herein argued that municipal functionaries must be able to identify the manifestations of bad governance for them to serve as effective whistle-blowers. The role of the national integrity system as a strategy for combating the manifestations of bad governance is also identified. The national integrity system refers to the holistic approach (or various strategies) for instilling good governance amongst municipal functionaries. These include an anti-corruption strategy for local government (also known as “a local government integrity system”), constitutional strategies and exemplifying ethical behaviour by municipal functionaries. Constitutional strategies include the Auditor-General and the Public Protector. It is argued that preventing unethical conduct such as corruption assists in raising municipal revenues and thus towards improved service delivery. The study concludes by asserting that big, corrupt actors must be named and punished to convince an already cynical citizenry that the avowed anti-corruption drive is more than just lip service. It is, accordingly, important that one of the “first big fish” should preferably come from the governing party to ensure that the party is not accused of protecting its members against charges of corruption.

Abstract:
Twitter has become a popular channel for local governments to explore crisis communication during a hurricane. Local governments use Twitter to distribute crisis messages to the public, and are able to amplify or attenuate risk perception. Many factors attribute to individuals’ risk perception including control, choice, children, novelty, and risk-benefit tradeoff. The Social Amplification of Risk Framework (SARF) provides a guide to understanding the intensifying or weakening of these risk messages. While these crisis messages are directed to the general public, the local governments may be neglecting information for the vulnerable populations. In order to prepare for a hurricane, vulnerable populations need updates from local governments and emergency agencies before, during, and after the hurricane. Relationships among stages of a hurricane, tweet categories, and risk perception were explored. A sample of 1,043 tweets from six Twitter accounts of local governments in Florida were analyzed to provide insight into what type of messages local governments tweet and what risk perceptions local governments emphasize during the stages of Hurricane Irma. Using a Cross-tabulation analysis, researchers analyzed significant differences for stages of a hurricane, tweet categories, and risk perceptions. Findings for this study indicate that results were significant through each stage of the hurricane. Keywords: Twitter, Hurricane, Risk Factors, SARF, Vulnerable Populations

Abstract:
Four public private partnerships have been created in Lebanon to fulfill the promises of better public value and accelerated economic development for sustainable business development. The problem is some business owners embark on public private partnership projects without following known documented strategies that ensure business sustainability. The purpose of the single case study was to explore the strategies business owners used to sustain public private partnership businesses in Lebanon. The conceptual framework included the theory of X-efficiency and the new public management model. The Northern Lebanon public private partnership was chosen for the study. All 7 business owners participated through interviews for data collection. The emergent themes from the interviews were compared and contrasted across participants' responses and were cross referenced with the academic literature and printed agency reports. Data interpretations were triangulated through member checking. The business owners identified 7 specific strategies to monitor the agency's work. The top 3 strategies were proper selection of partners, the need for a strong technical director, and hiring of professional staff. Three additional strategies noted were the articulation of a clear mission and vision, followed by the development of bylaws and the identification of international best practices. Holding monthly partners' meetings to discuss emerging needs was the last strategy identified for consistent follow up and forward movement of the businesses. The findings over time could promote social change in Lebanon by revealing how municipalities can partner with the private sector and nongovernment organizations to reduce poverty, create jobs, and ensure local economic development.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study outlines the adaptation planning journey undertaken by Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) in Northern Ireland and reflects how the prevailing policy context and level of organisational adaptive capacity create the conditions for mainstreaming climate adaptation into planning and development. This chapter explores the potential of local government in Northern Ireland to integrate local authority policy drivers such as disaster risk reduction (DRR), emergency planning, risk and assurance, and community resilience. The ability to communicate risks and solutions was identified as an important consideration when undertaking adaptation planning, particularly when discussing the adaptation planning process and securing input or support from colleagues. Moreover, a significant amount of engagement was required with local government agencies to increase understanding of the relevance of climate change and DRR. Embedding DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA) within local authority policy and planning can enable a greater understanding of specific risks to local governments and act as a catalyst for further action.

Abstract:
The most important reason to decentralise the public services delivery is to make the citizens' needs better known by the local governments, so it follows to act more efficiently to their satisfaction. Nonetheless it has been found an opportunistic use of these agencies to avoid legal limits on indebtedness imposed on sub-national administrations, generating fiscal illusion. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to analyse the effect of the functional decentralisation processes on public revenues and financing. The results show that the use of decentralisation process, especially companies are created by left-wing political parties in order to raise more income from commercialization of public services. It was also found that these practices are strongly linked to the municipality's fiscal pressure.

This chapter explores the use of social media applications by local governments to communicate with constituents and promote involvement in policy and project management activities. Although public and private sector organizations make different uses of social media (Halverson, Hauknes, Miles, & Røste, 2005), there are many ways for government and nonprofit entities to make use of Web 2.0 applications. The focus in this chapter is on local government and a variety of examples will be provided. Some local government agencies primarily provide information to constituents through the social media apps, while others solicit the input from citizens to expand involvement. Finally, suggestions for future research and uses will be discussed.

Abstract:
In academic libraries, the area of data librarianship has introduced several new functions and skills into the librarian toolbox. These include statistical and software support, research data management, data curation, and data and statistical literacy. Fostering data-related collaborations enables librarians to enhance library services, collections, and outreach. In this chapter, we will focus on academic library collaborations with government agencies as case in point. Under the umbrella of open access, local and national governments have started making available the raw data that they collect, in the course of providing public services, for users to conduct their own analysis. This chapter will 1) describe data librarianship in academic libraries; 2) review open government data repositories; 3) outline concerns with open government data, such as metadata and data literacy; and 4) describe collaborative efforts between an academic library and New York City government agencies to address concerns with open government data.

Abstract:
Despite the many quarrels and complaints about the quality of local government in Malaysia, it continues to be an important part of the overall governance system of the country. Information and Communication Technologies, particularly the Internet, have been prophesied to massively transform the quality of governance and government including local government. This chapter examines the local government development with reference to Web-based services of a cross-section of local authorities in Malaysia. The academic nature of the chapter pertains to examining issues surrounding Web site design and quality of information within the local government in Malaysia. The practical aspect of the study concerns with ascertaining if local authorities in Malaysia are ready to embrace the challenges in the information age, with particular emphasis on the ability to offer value added E-Services via local government Web sites. The survey results paint an extremely uneven and a very infant picture of E-Local government in Malaysia. The local authorities, just as other public agencies, have some way to go to tap the full potential of the Internet to render services to their public. They are still at the broadcast or publish stage of E-Government development. Much must be done to improve the design, the responsiveness, the information currency, and the interactivity dimensions of the digital window to propel local government into the national E-Government changes that are quietly taking shape. Only then can Malaysia’s E-Government initiative reap the maximum benefits offered by the information age.

Abstract:
Indonesia was part of the first Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) adopter since 1993 [8]. The motivation of SDIs development is to connect thematics spatial data among governments agencies in Local and Central Governments. Data sharing able to reduce data redundancy and allows spatial data to be used multiple times for various purposes [21, 12]. Since the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 27 of 2014 concerning the National Geospatial Information Network, Central and Local Government develop their geoportal or web gis. This research aims to evaluate the web gis or geoportal at local level based on Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Attitude Toward Using (ATU), and Actual Usage (AU). The data source of this research is correspondent’s questionnaire answer. The questionnaire filled up by Development Planning Agency at Sub-National Level (Bappeda) in Indonesia. To obtain research results, the step of study is developing questionnaire, sending questionnaire, questionnaire recapitulation, hypothesis formulation, Strucured Equation Model (SEM) modeling, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) calculations. the questions in the questionnaire must refer to the four basic SEM models so that there is no blank value in any of the models. The benefits of this research can predict the adoption of SDIs at the local level and evaluate user respond about ease, convenience, and consistency in using geoportals at districts/cities level for sharing data. As a result of this research, TAM can evaluate the acceptance of geoportal at Local Government. In this research, TAM was able to assess the hypotheses used in this study. Among the 5 hypotheses, 3 hypotheses were accepted because they had a t-value greater than 0.05. Based on the hypothesis test results, it can be obtained that local governments can receive the convenience and benefits of geoportals or web GIS as a service for sharing spatial data.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the use of Artificial Intelligence in government decision making with a case study on the use of Artificial Intelligence to distribute government grant funds. Artificial Intelligence enables autonomous systems and decision support aids. A formal process is very important when designing a system to make decisions autonomously with Artificial Intelligence. The Office of Justice Programs, an agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, focuses on crime prevention; it provides research and development assistance to state, local, and tribal criminal justice agencies. OJP’s public safety grants involve about $2 billion distributed to some 2,000 grantees. In the past, the agency had no standard approach for determining who received grants. Then, about 2011, OJP began introducing objective measures into the grant review process and automated the process. With AI, the new system resulted in increased accuracy and consistency of decisions, as well as a more efficient review process.

Abstract:
In 2018, the U.S. spent an estimated $187 billion on its highways and roadways, with the majority of funding coming from state and local governments (~$141B from states and local governments vs ~$45B from the Federal Government) (Urban Institute, n.d.) Despite this enormous outlay of funds, the U.S. highway infrastructure needs are at an all-time high. The road system earned a D grade from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) on their 2021 report card, which is the same grade roads have received on every ASCE Report Card. Over 40% of U.S. roadways are in a poor/deficient condition and the number of vehicle miles traveling on roads in “poor” condition has risen from 15% to more than 17% over the last decade. Overall, there is about a $435 billion backlog of highway road repair projects and the poor US road system is costing the country an additional $130 billion in extra vehicle repairs and operating costs, or over $1,000 per motorist per year (ASCE, 2021) Improvement of the system is needed and the primary approach to address this challenge to date has been to increase funding. While more funding is needed, agencies also need to find ways to be more efficient within their constrained budgets in order to get more out of their roadway and pavement investments. This paper will show how competition in the pavement bidding process and across paving industries can bring value to Transportation Agencies by lowering pavement unit costs.

Abstract:
California local agencies raise the revenue to support high-quality transportation services and infrastructure from a patchwork of federal, state, and local sources. To assist policymakers and transportation experts as they explore options for creating a more sustainable funding system, this report presents an overview of the taxes and fees that currently generate revenue ultimately dedicated to paying for transportation at the sub-state—or “local”—level. The discussion covers federal and state as well as local sources. The report also traces the evolving contribution from each level of government for expenditures on California’s local streets and roads and public transit, looking back two decades. The report concludes with a discussion of options for increasing local transportation revenue

Full text
Abstract:
In 2019, Cambodia had been enjoying its steady economic growth until the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hit the country from February 2020 in the form of severe infectious diseases, causing both economic and social problems for people from all walks of life, especially poor and vulnerable families. The IDPoor Equity Card, a poverty identification and registration system, was introduced in Cambodia to provide cash to poor pregnant women and children since 2016. Given its continued success, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen announced the implementation of the Cash Transfer Program (CTP) using the IDPoor Card system. The CTP provided cash to poor and vulnerable households across the country affected by the pandemic. Executing the first large-scale cash transfer program in history presented significant challenges for the Government of Cambodia. In addition to implementing the program, which had to adhere to the three principles of equity–equality–efficiency, the government had other challenges to overcome, such as the limited number of tablets and facilities to accommodate the many people waiting in line to withdraw cash. Under the guidance of the central government, particularly the Economic and Finance Policy Committee, a technical working group was established to lead the implementation process; coordination among local governments, local councils, agencies, and the poor and needy; review of the IDPoor database; establishment of the digital payment system; and training of local government staff. This enabled the CTP to effectively distribute cash to poor and vulnerable households during the pandemic.

Full text
Abstract:
Public, fixed-route transit services most commonly operate on public streets. In addition, transit passengers must use sidewalks to access transit stops and stations. However, streets and sidewalks are under the jurisdiction of municipalities, not transit agencies. Various municipal policies, practices, and decisions affect transit operations, rider convenience, and passenger safety. Thus, these government entities have an important influence over the quality, safety, and convenience of transit services in their jurisdictions. This research identified municipal policies and practices that affect public transport providers’ ability to deliver transit services. They were found from a comprehensive literature review, interviews and discussions with five local transit agencies in the U.S., five public transportation experts and staff from five California cities. The city policies and practices identified fall into the following five categories: Infrastructure for buses, including bus lanes, signal treatments, curbside access; Infrastructure for pedestrians walking and bicycling to, and waiting at, transit stops and stations; Internal transportation planning policies and practices; Land development review policies; Regional and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) issues. The understanding, acknowledgment, and implementation of policies and practices identified in this report can help municipalities proactively work with local transit providers to more efficiently and effectively operate transit service and improve passenger comfort and safety on city streets.

Abstract:
The Family Planning Operations Research and Training Program of the Philippines was established in 1992 to strengthen the nation's capacity to carry out and utilize operations research (OR) for program planning and management. It has sponsored training workshops and funded OR studies on issues of priority to both national and local program managers. The program’s recent activities, culminated in the National Research Utilization Conference held in September 1994, were designed to assist in the institutionalization processes. However, more needs to be done to determine how these processes will actually work in specific national and local government agencies and academic and research institutions, and how to support and sustain the processes that do work. The proposed study is intended to form a basis for determining ways to promote and sustain OR in the Philippines. As stated in this report, the study aims to review the experience of recent research activities with attention to the institutionalization process and identify specific issues to be addressed and concrete steps to be taken in the process both at the national and local levels.

Full text
Abstract:
Involving local communities in school management is seen to be crucial to improving the quality of education in state schools in developing countries; yet school-based management committees remain dormant in most such contexts. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with a rich network of community-supported Islamic and Quranic schools in the state of Kano in northern Nigeria—a sub-Saharan African region with very low education indicators, low economic growth, and political and social instability—this paper shows how making school curricula responsive to local value systems and economic opportunities is key to building a strong sense of community ownership of schools. Under community-based school management committees, control over more substantive educational issues—such as the content of school curricula and the nature of aspirations and concepts of a good life that it promotes among the students—remains firmly in the hands of the government education authorities, who on occasion also draw on examples from other countries and expertise offered by international development agencies when considering what should be covered. The paper shows that, as in the case of the urban areas, rural communities or those in less-developed urban centres lose trust in state schools when the low quality of education provided results in a failure to secure formal-sector employment. But the problem is compounded in these communities, because while state schools fail to deliver on the promise of formal-sector employment, the curriculum does promote a concept of a good life that is strongly associated with formal-sector employment and urban living, which remains out of reach for most; it also promotes liberal values, which in the local communities' perception are associated with Western societies and challenge traditional values and authority structures. The outcomes of such state schooling, in the experience of rural communities, are frustrated young people, unhappy with the prospect of taking up traditional jobs, and disrespectful of parents and of traditional authority structures. The case of community support for Islamic and Quranic schools in northern Nigeria thus highlights the need to consider the production of localised curricula and to adjust concepts of a good life to local contexts and economic opportunities, as opposed to adopting a standardised national curriculum which promotes aspirations that are out of reach.
