Local Government in Pakistan: A Panacea? I EconFest Debate

Local governments (LGs) have been a perennial unresolved issue in Pakistan. Efficient public service delivery requires LGs. Many would contend that there is no real democracy without LGs. We would like you to consider: How and what kind of LGs should we get? Are LGs compatible with the inherited colonial structures? If not, what reform is required? How should financial and operational powers be devolved? How should cities and metropolitan areas be treated differently than rural areas in defining the role of LGs? What election systems should be used? #LocalGovernment #LocalBodies #Elections #Pakistan #Panacea #Governance #Politics #PoliticalParties #SupremeCourt #Parliament #economy #development EconFest website: https://econfest.pide.org.pk/ For Further Details Please Visit: www.pide.org.pk @PIDEOfficial   / pidepk     / pideislamabad     / pidepk     / pidepk
