Problems exist in enforcing punishment and sanctions in decentralized setting. • Rewards and political patronage. • Rule following is the focus. Performance based SA is new. • Low level of institutionalization and methods in use are not inscribed in the law • Early external involvement with limited external participation at the end of the process. • Elitist involvement with the executive branch of government.
