Council of Chiefs

The Council of Chiefs is a formal group comprised of traditional or local leaders in a community or region. They serve as representatives of local interests, customs, and authority, often advising government officials and influencing decisions on social, cultural, or development matters. The council helps ensure that traditional values and perspectives are considered in governance, acting as a bridge between the community and national or regional authorities. Its role varies depending on the country or community but generally promotes local governance, unity, and cultural preservation.
