Administrative decentralization is widely recognized as a governance mechanism to enhance local service delivery and social development outcomes. However, empirical evidence on its disaggregated impact in rapidly urbanizing contexts like Wakiso District, Uganda, remains limited. This study investigated the distinct effects of three constructs of administrative decentralization local staffing and management capacity, delegation of planning and implementation powers, and administrative process efficiency on three dimensions of social development: access to education, access to healthcare, and access to clean water and sanitation.
