Government of Northwest Territories

The Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT) is responsible for managing public affairs in this Canadian territory, which is located in the northern part of the country. It operates under a system of consensus government, meaning there are no formal political parties; instead, elected representatives work together to make decisions. The GNWT handles areas like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and resource management, promoting the well-being of its residents, including Indigenous communities. The government also engages in landmark agreements with Indigenous groups to recognize their rights and involve them in decision-making processes.
