Decentralization of power can significantly enhance policy implementation by distributing authority across multiple levels of government. Local entities often understand community needs better and can respond more swiftly to specific issues. However, this can also lead to inconsistencies in policy application, resulting in fragmentation and potential inefficiency. Effective communication and collaboration between different governmental layers become crucial in ensuring coherence. Additionally, local governments may prioritize regional interests, which can clash with broader national goals, complicating the overall policy landscape and implementation.
