LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN PAKISTAN

Fair Elections, Open Parliament and Good Governance


The local tier of government holds a pivotal position in the political landscape, making local governance monitoring crucial for narrowing the gap between the government and the governed. Vigilantly observing government actions, particularly at the local level, not only informs the public about the performance of public institutions but also instills a sense of participation in the governance process.

The availability of objective information on governance processes plays a vital role in encouraging the informed engagement of citizens with elected and public institutions. The monitoring efforts aim to enhance public discourse and debate on governance issues, contributing to the formulation of research-based recommendations for reforms.

Trained 15,000 women candidates and over 5,000 women local government representatives on political processes.
