Abstract:	Focusing on Sudan's Eastern Region, the author surveys political, financial, administrative and planning relationships between the centre and the newly established regional governments in the wake of the Regional Government Act 1980. Despite Sudan's considerable previous experience with decentralization and a number of preparatory seminars and meetings, the planning and implementation of the Regional Government Scheme of 1980 has left much to be desired in terms of genuine devolution and regional autonomy, illustrating once again the gap between the rhetoric of decentralization and its realization in actual practice.
