Abstract

This chapter draws from archival sources, published compendium of secondary literature and on historiographical technique, based on the central theme of continuity and change, to discuss how local governance has ensured community development. The lessons teased out from this discourse would have the propensity to shape the future. The narratives that follow have been categorized into themes including pre-colonial local government perspectives on Asante, Local Government in the colonial era, and then local government under Rawlings’ PNDC in the 1980s and the fourth republic, before finally examining the achievements and challenges of Ghana’s local government within the period with lessons for the future.
