| dc.description.abstract | The research investigated into the role of the sub-district structures of local government in the Sagnarigu Municipality using a participatory study design. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. In addition to literature review, a sample size of 100 participants was used and responses from the Municipal Assembly officials, stakeholders of the sub-district structures and the members of the community represented the primary data. Data was analysed using qualitative techniques. Results from the analysis indicated that sub-district structures are confronted with a number of constraints that militate against the realization of their potential for inducing grassroots development. The Unit Committees in the rural communities of the Municipality are more effective and efficient in keeping touch with the grassroots than their counterparts in the urban communities. Recommendations are made to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to ensure that the Municipal Assembly adequately provides for the financial and logistical needs of the sub-structures as timely as possible and massive public education should also be done by stakeholders in democratic decentralisation to educate the public about the need for depoliticisation of local governance in Ghana. | |
