However, despite sllch legal ji-allleworks, the study found alit that \I'oreda decentralization in general and service delivelY in particular had not been implemented adequately dlle to several reasons. It is challenged by many problems such as limited autonolllY, severe skilled hllman resources capacity, aellie blldgel shortage, lower revenue bases, weak organizational and institutional capacity, Poor il1ler-governmel7lal relations and partners with differenl stakeholders, a top down hierarchical relationship between sectors offices and services units (schools and health units), Regarding participation, there is no well established mechanisms and capacity for conducting real community participation. Thus, Power is nol yel adequately devolved and resources are nol Iransferred to local governmel7ls and Ihe expected expansion of public services has not been achieved. Hence, there is mismatch bel ween legal and political pronouncemenls and an aClual praclice, 11 was generally l~ecol11mended Ihal 10 make decenlralizalion meaningf'ill and improve service delivery, woreda governmenl should be capacilaled with financial and manpower resources.
