PROSPECTS OP LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN The existing LGO 2001 is an effort to depart from the old platform to a new one with an assumption that the new system has such structural and functional features, which will not only wipeout the legacy problems but also add mundane values to the local government system in Pakistan. Prima facie, the intentions of new system look positive, but its test is to translate the theoretical system into reality. The new system may be matchless in contents but this is not the guarantee of successful implementation.The objective of this book is to study the ground-realities of the system by gathering empirical facts and figures from real actors of the local government. The study reveals that although there is a lack of understanding of the system itself by all the users, which is making the system-performance-evaluation more ambiguous, still there is optimism amongst the public about this system and they are enthusiastic about its future provided, all the publicly noticed weaknesses and problems of the new system are taken up instantly and uprooted in time.
