Question

How does decentralized planning contribute to improved resource utilization?

• A. By letting the central government dictate resource allocation
• B. By allowing local authorities, who are more familiar with their resources, to allocate them efficiently
• C. By pooling all resources at the national level for redistribution
• D. By ignoring local resource constraints

Answer 1

Answer:

B. By allowing local authorities, who are more familiar with their resources, to allocate them efficiently

Local authorities have a better understanding of the resources available in their areas and can thus allocate and use them more efficiently. This ensures that resources are used in a way that maximizes the benefits for local populations, leading to more effective outcomes.
