| Research Abstract |
This project purports to contribute to the capacity building in the area of local government in developing countries, We have made two observations on this subject. First, decentralization has been a well accepted issue by both the government and progressive leaders. In addition to, the dominating countries(or suzerain) in the past, the donors such as industrialized countries, the World Bank or the Asian Development Bank are currently influential in reforming the governmentalsystems in these countries :
While the thrust of our project is directed to the system of local government as a whole, we have paid our special attention to the civil registration system, which has been neglected by donors and on which there have been very few studies. People in most of the developing countries, especially those in Africa, were averse to having the registration system itself at the initial stage after their countries' achieving independence. This attitude came from their memories of and experiences

in the colonial period. Gradually, however, people came to accept the idea of civil registration. In today's worldwide trend toward the welfare state, the nature of the residents' registration (in government) has changed. The registration system is now accepted useful. However, for the purpose of delivering the welfare serrices it is difficult to establish well-organized systems of civil gistrat ion and maintain it.
We have submitted our proposal that the civil registration system should be introduced in the developing countries to the Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA), hoping the proposal to be adopted as one of their support projects. We do not know the result of their decision, but JICA has shown interest in our proposal. They even suggested that we should extend our trial to the tax collection system and other administrative procedures for the purpose of improving governance and capacity-building in the developing countries. The projects with broader implications, like introducing the agency delegation or grant system operated in Japanese central-local relationship would be our next project. Less
