Abstract:
Abstract: The world is shifting day by day, and the political system changes over the decade. The article discusses issues affecting service delivery in local government of Bangladesh. It argues that the government is committed to establishing strong local institutions at every level along with active participation of elected representatives in administration and development programs. But the local government of Bangladesh is in a tricky situation from its genesis especially in respect to fiscal sustainability and institutional capacity. Legal issues, lack of efficient workforce, lack of willingness of leaders and corruption are found the serious issues in tax management that leads poor collection. Some fundamental issues remained out of the purview of reform agenda when the central government has extensive control over local government. The article suggests that given deep-rooted critical issues LGIs face, improving accountability mechanisms need to be revitalized to complement empowerment and poverty reduction for more effective service delivery
