Q1) What do you think could be the purpose behind establishing this third tier of
government? Reflect over it in minimum 80 words.

| for a number of reasons. By offering more flexible and localized administration, it can, first
|
and foremost, bring the government closer to the populace. As a result, decisions can be
made with greater responsibility and openness, and programmers and policies that are
specifically crafted to meet the requirements of local communities can be implemented more
successfully.

The third level of government can encourage participative democracy by giving people chances
to participate in decision-making directly. Local governments can involve the public in local
planning and decision-making through a number of different channels, |
including town hall
gatherings, public forums, and community involvement programmers.
