Introduction
The system of governance in different countries can vary, but the goal is always to provide better administration to the population. This is achieved through decentralization and local governance, which empower the weaker sections of the population and devolve powers for better administration. Central and local governments have differences in their roles and objectives, with the central government being responsible for devolving powers to the grass roots level for efficient local government.
Key Takeaways

2. The main objective of local government is to fulfill the political hopes and aspirations of the people at the lowest levels of the population.
