Mr. Jean Pierre ELONG MBASSI Secretary General,

UCLG Africa

The secretariat of UCLG Africa launches the second issue of “The State of Local Finances in Africa” so as to compare, for the first time, the key figures and ratios of financial management of African cities. To do this, the accounts of 2013, 2014 of Eighty Seven (87) cities from Twenty Six (26) African Countries and from the five regions of Africa - North Africa, Western, Eastern, Central and Southern Africa - have been collected, processed and analyzed.

Since schedules are different both between local authorities within the same country and between local governments from different countries, a three-step approach has been put in place: (1) developing a nomenclature for each country in order to compare local communities from the same country; (2) development of a regional classification for each of the five regions of Africa in order to compare local governments from the same region ; the work also consisted in harmonizing systems inherited from the French administrative culture and from the English administrative culture; and (3) developing a nomenclature across Africa to compare all local governments in the hemisphere.

An array of financial ratios was established on the basis of the African harmonized nomenclature and the different produced ratios. The State of Local Finances in Africa has five (5) areas of analysis (budget volume, operating revenue, operating expenses, savings capacity, Investment) and seven (07) ratios.

Note : TSFI 22 = Total Operating Revenues ; TSFI 23 = Operating expenditure (excluding levy) ; TSFI 24 = Staff costs; TSFI 30 = Total Operating Expenses ; TSFI 38 = Capital expenditure ; TSFI 39 = Repayment of loan (amortization of capital)

These ratios are presented per town, per country, per region of Africa and for Africa. After the ratios for cities, the ‘Country’ ratios are the average ratios of the cities of the country, the “Region” ratios” are the average ratios of the countries of the region, and the “Africa” ratios are the average of the ratios of the “Regions”.

Although they do not constitute not an analysis of the financial management of local authorities, these ratios will help educate local officials on the quality of financial management of their cities.

The Secretariat General of UCLG Africa requests your opinion, comments and critiques, which are welcome.

Good reading
