The Local Governance Act is a legislative framework that outlines the structure and functions of local government in a specific region. It aims to empower local authorities, ensuring they have the authority to make decisions that affect their communities. This act typically covers aspects such as the election of local officials, budget management, and public participation in governance. Additionally, the act promotes transparency and accountability within local governments. It establishes guidelines for how local councils operate, including their responsibilities and the processes for community engagement. By doing so, the Local Governance Act seeks to enhance the effectiveness of local governance and improve service delivery to residents.
