摘要

背景:赞比亚共和国政府设立了地方政府均衡基金,每年议会拨出不少于该财政年度共和国预计所得税总额的5%。该基金的目的是为提供服务提供资金来源。目的:本研究的目的是分析均衡化基金对赞比亚选定地方当局服务提供的影响。环境:研究的重点是赞比亚的卢萨卡市议会、卢安什亚市议会、奇桑巴和卢安瓜市议会。方法:采用并行混合方法。人口包括选定地区的登记财产所有者和议会官员。样本采用分层抽样法抽取。采用问卷调查的方式收集数据,使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第25版,采用描述性统计和回归分析进行分析。定性数据采用叙述方法进行分析。结果:均等化基金的支出构成表明,个人薪酬支出占比大于资本和服务支出。地方当局提供服务的方法有相似之处,也有不同之处:利用地方政府企业、外包、特许经营、志愿人员、自助团体和内部提供。结论:缺乏令人满意的遵守中央政府所支持的关于使用均衡资金提供服务的指导方针。所研究的地方当局没有遵守关于使用均衡基金的规定准则。

Erratum: An analysis of the effects of equalisation funds on service delivery in selected local authorities in Zambia
Background: The government of the Republic of Zambia established the Local Government Equalisation Fund, to which each year parliament appropriates not less than 5% of the total amount of projected income taxes collected for the republic for that financial year. The purpose of the fund is to provide a source of financing for service delivery. Aim: The goal of this study was to analyse the effects of equalisation funds on service delivery in selected local authorities in Zambia. Setting: The study focused on Lusaka City Council, Luanshya Municipal Council and Chisamba and Luangwa town councils in Zambia. Methods: A concurrent mixed-methods approach was used. The population comprised registered property owners and council officials in the selected districts. The sample was drawn using stratified sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed by using descriptive statistics and regression analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Qualitative data were analysed using a narrative approach. Results: The expenditure composition of the equalisation funds shows that expenditure on personal emoluments accounts for a greater proportion than capital and service expenditure. There were similarities and differences in the methods of service delivery among local authorities: the use of local government enterprise, contracting out, franchises, volunteers, self-help groups and in-house provision. Conclusion: There is lack of satisfactory adherence to the guidelines on utilisation of equalisation funds for service delivery as espoused by the central government. The local authorities studied do not adhere to the prescribed guidelines on the utilisation of equalisation funds.
