Local Government Functions
Local governments manage local services including basic education, health, local roads, water supply, sanitation, birth/death registration, local markets, agriculture extension, and disaster management.
What does your local government actually do? It runs: local schools (basic level), health posts, local roads and bridges, drinking water supply, sanitation/waste management, birth/death/marriage registration, local markets and commercial regulation, agriculture extension, disaster preparedness, and local judicial committees for minor disputes. This is the government you interact with most.

Closest service delivery — citizens can walk to their ward office for most basic services.
Many local governments lack staff, equipment, and expertise to deliver all assigned services.
