Question

How does decentralized planning help reduce the workload on the central government?

• A. By centralizing all decision-making powers
• B. By allowing local governments to handle specific, region-based planning and execution
• C. By removing the central government's role in national development planning
• D. By eliminating regional authorities from the planning process

Answer 1

Answer:

B. By allowing local governments to handle specific, region-based planning and execution

Decentralized planning reduces the workload of the central government by shifting decision-making responsibilities for specific, region-based planning to local governments. This allows the central authority to focus on larger policy issues, while local governments handle more specific, regional concerns.
