Local Government and the Colonial Civil Service (URDU)

Faizan Qayyum (@faizaanq) a young PhD student in Urbana-Champaign in Illinois is doing a thesis on local government and the civil service.

We talk to him to focus on

1. The necessity of local government for service delivery and effective development.
2. Can there be local government if DCs and Commissioners continue to run cities?
3. The importance of cities in economic development and why cities are an important unit on which local government should be based.
4. How local government requires autonomy at the lowest possible unit. Autonomy allows innovative competitive solutions to emerge.

Listen to this and let us reinvigorate research and debate into change. 

Listen to this fascinating discussion. There is much to learn and research here.
