Devolvement typically refers to the process of transferring powers, responsibilities, or decision-making authority from a central authority to a lower level of government or organization. This can occur in various contexts, such as political governance, business management, or organizational structures. In a political context, devolvement might involve a central government delegating powers to regional or local governments, allowing them to have more autonomy over certain functions, such as education, transportation, or health services.
