This project has examined the processes and institutions through which effective local governance unfolds, assesses decision-making and current procedures dealing with compliance and anti-corruption, and evaluates the extent of transparency in local governance. The ultimate aim of the report is to develop a framework, associated indicators and practice guidelines for improving local governance in South Africa.
