Local government reforms

Local government reforms involve changes to how local councils operate, organize, and deliver services to communities. These reforms aim to improve efficiency, accountability, and responsiveness by adjusting boundaries, merging or splitting councils, updating governance structures, or adopting new policies. The goal is to ensure local governments better meet residents' needs, manage resources effectively, and promote sustainable development. Such reforms can also streamline decision-making processes, reduce costs, and enhance local representation, ultimately leading to more effective and responsive local governance.
