[Conduct] independent annual assessment of the performance of the local government councils.

Other Information:

B1: The overriding strategy for achieving the goal of the LGCSCI is the independent annual assessment of the performance of the local government councils. The assessment uses the Local Government Councils Score-Card (LGCSC) as a tool for measuring whether the councils and their respective organs are performing their statutory roles. The Score-Card also evaluates the causal relationship between the performance of a local government council and the quality of service delivery in the district. The Score- Card was developed based on a detailed analysis of the roles and responsibilities of the local government councils as stipulated in the Local Government Act (2000). The Score-Card assesses the local government council and the various organs of the council that are vested with powers and functions related to the running of a local government as indicated in the figure below.
