Delegated Powers

Delegated powers refer to authorities or responsibilities that are transferred from a higher level of government or a central body to a lower or regional entity, such as a local government or agency. This process allows the central authority to focus on broader issues while the delegated body handles specific tasks or policymaking within its designated area. The delegation is usually formalized through laws or statutes, ensuring clear boundaries and accountability. This system promotes efficiency and local autonomy, enabling decisions to be made closer to the communities affected.
