Local Government System in Pakistan

Saeed Ahmed Rid
The Sindh LG system introduced in 2013 and implemented in 2016 is an important though much delayed step towards enhancing the quality of local service delivery in Sindh. For the first time in Pakistan’s history, LGs have been introduced in Sindh and throughout Pakistan under elected governments. This enhances the ownership of major political parties in local governance. The elections were held on party basis and the legislation provides a sound division of labour and clear line of authority in the rural areas among District Councils and Union Councils. However, the review also highlights a number of areas where decentralization of power to the local governments still needs to be increased further to achieve both the technocratic and political economy goals of LGs.
This study aimed: i) To briefly summarize Pakistan’s experiences with LG systems since 1947; ii) To understand the contours of the Islamabad LG system 2015 and analyze whether the extent of administrative, financial and political devolution provided in it is sufficient to achieve the efficiency, effectiveness, equity and egalitarianism aims of LGs, iii) To compare the Islamabad LG system with earlier attempts at devolution in Pakistan and with the LG systems of 2-3 other capital cities globally, iv) To analyze the opinions of key stakeholders, including local councilors, communities and civil society members about the Islamabad LG system, v) To provide recommendations for improving the system in the future, and vi) To develop an advocacy agenda around the recommendations.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the current practice of local government taxation in Pakistan and to point the way toward structural reforms that are both more rational and more in step with Pakistan’s vision for its fiscal decentralization. The analysis here is restricted to sub provincial governments, i.e., districts, TMA’s and union councils but with a decided emphasis on the former two. We do this by examining the current practice, and by drawing on international comparisons and “best practices” as laid out in the theory of fiscal federalism.
Effective Implementation of the Punjab Local Government Act 2019: Consultations and Research on Local Governance
Raja M A Saleem , Zainab Altaf
The Center for Public Policy & Governance, Forman Christian College, Lahore, and the GIZ, the German development agency, collaborated on a project focused on the Punjab Local Government Act, 2019. The idea was to bring all stakeholders together and listen to them before implementing this act. We had separate sessions with local government officials, politicians that have fought local government elections and served as mayors and district council chairpersons, and experts, journalists, & CSO personnel. More than a hundred people from all over Punjab participated in these sessions. We were very fortunate that the Local Government & Community Development Department provided us full support in this project. The final report of this project was published in November 2020. It has not only details of the interactive sessions but also research articles on various aspects of the evolution of local governments in Pakistan by GIZ and CPPG experts.
