Description:
This guide provides an overview of local representative arrangements and electoral systems in Asia and the Pacific. An easy-to-use tool, it aims to assist country offices/teams and government partners as programmes are shaped to make local decision-making processes more inclusive and accountable to all citizens. The Guide was produced by UNDP’s Regional Initiative on Local Democracy in Asia to address the need for more knowledge on the state of local representative systems in Asia-Pacific, and to explore what is necessary to improve them and ensure more inclusive involvement in decisions affecting peoples’ lives. It gives an overview of the institutional arrangements at the local level in 22 countries and contains a systematic accumulation of evidence and offers practical examples from across the region to illustrate its themes.
