| dc.description.abstract | The concept of local governance can have different meaning to different peoples and groups. It doesnât have a universally accepted meaning. It should be understood based on the purposes of its application. Aid donors, development agencies, international financial institutions and social activists have developed their own concept and indicators of governance. Even though there are conceptual differences among these groups, all of them agreed up on the need for governance to promote development and improve the quality of citizens well being. Local governance requires the involvement of various stakeholders living and working together to achieve different objectives. Local governance is more than the provision of services by local government. It requires the interaction and cooperation among different stake holders to promote their rights and discharge their responsibilities. This study was conducted on Akaki Kality sub city. The main objective of the study was to assess the state of local governance in the sub city and describe the related practices, challenges and opportunities. It was found that Akaki Kality sub city has a fairly low level of local governance practices. Different factors can be used to explain this situation. The study attempted to describe the local governance of the sub city based on five indicators. The assessment was conducted by using Local Governance Barometer which was developed by Impact Alliance. The barometer consists of five indicators which include effectiveness, accountability, participation, equity, transparency and rule of law. The study employed descriptive research methods. Survey and interview have been used to collect the primary data. The survey was conducted through stratified random sampling while interview was applied through purposive sampling. Non-governmental organizations, community based organizations, charity organizations, private business sectors, and governmental organizations were the key informants from whom the primary data was collected | en_US |
