Decentralisation provides regional government with greater authority to deliver various public services. It is expected that decentralisation will improve people welfare due to proximity. This study is aimed to investigate whether there is improvement in welfare, as represented by converging household expenditure, during pre and post decentralisation. It is tested employing Indonesian Family Life Surve (IFLS) database and nonparametric approaches. The findings suggest a converging household expenditure, decreasing gap between the poor and rich, and higher probability of the poor to move to higher expenditure groups, particularly for those who live in urban areas.
