Abstract:
Bangladesh was administered by Pakistan for 24 years and the British Raj for 190 years,
respectively, leaving Bangladesh with a colonial-style municipal government. Since
independence, there have actually been a number of initiatives to enhance local governments
through decentralization under various regimes. Despite these attempts, it has received
widespread criticism for being too centrally controlled. However, over the past few years, it has
been observed that the nation has undergone some significant reform initiatives to enhance the
function and capability of local government organizations. More precisely, the cooperation of the
government and development partners has resulted in a variety of decentralization projects and
programs. In light of this, this paper seeks to assess Bangladesh’s local government system.
