Is Your Local Government Playing a Developmental Role?

Ask yourself these questions to see whether your government is playing a developmental role. Do they:

  • Provide services to everyone, for example, local roads, storm water drainage, refuse collection, electricity, water?
  • Try and integrate living areas – for example, the poor often live far away from the business and industrial areas?
  • Introduce schemes to promote job creation?
  • Provide adequate services to encourage people to live and work there?
