Abstract:
Overall, ward committees serve as essential participatory structures within local government, ensuring direct community participation and representation in decision-making processes. Their roles encompass Communication, consultation, advocacy and mobilisation, which are all aimed at promoting community engagement and fostering effective governance. By actively involving the community in the planning and decision-making processes, ward committees contribute to the sustainable development and well-being of their respective wards.
