‘Governance crisis’ both at national and local levels has been a formidable challenge in Bangladesh for last few decades. The book provides a comprehensive reform package specifically addressing the crisis in the arena of local governance. It contains a long list of reform agenda with reasonable elaboration and analysis that include constitutional guarantee for proper functioning of elected LGIs, uniform electoral reform formula, new organisational structure of LGI in line with parliamentary form, functional and expenditure assignment framework, inter-governmental resource transfer, a framework for sustainable capacity development and staffing pattern for all LGIs in Bangladesh.

The reform agenda, if implemented, may immensely contribute to accelerate local service delivery, local economic development and above all inclusive, sustainable and democratic ‘local good governance’ in Bangladesh.
