The introduction of Sri Lanka’s Provincial Councils has been a part of the country’s efforts to decentralise its political, administrative and fiscal powers to the local governments since 1987. This study aims to quantify the effects of fiscal decentralisation on Sri Lanka’s service delivery using time series data from 1988 to 2018. This investigation employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) modelling approach and uses a broad range of secondary data. According to these results, it may be concluded that sufficient fiscal decentralization has not taken place to provide the necessary funds to improve service delivery.
