Head 42: Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government

Ministry Overview1 The Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government plays a pivotal role in securing the functional cooperation necessary for

national initiatives. In the execution of the Ministry’s functions, Municipal Corporations and Special Purpose Enterprises assist

communities by pooling resources in targeted areas which include among others Infrastructure Development, Disaster Management,

Public Health and Sanitation. By virtue of its remit, Local Government has a more direct and constant connection to citizens than

Central Government. This makes Local Government critical to the democratic process and a major catalyst in the execution of any

citizen-centered national initiative.

Mission2

The Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government is committed to facilitating, coordinating, monitoring and ensuring

accountability of Municipal Corporations in the effective and efficient delivery of quality services through meaningful decentralised

systems, structures, procedures, practices and the provision of specialized support services.

Vision

Fully transformed and modernised Local Government system that empowers and enhances quality of life through service excellence.
