Abstract:
The study examine the local government administrative systems in Tazania,
Malawi, Rwanda and Germany including their functions, policy and institutional framework in
the advent of multiparty democracy signalled administrative and political affairs. Malawi‟s and
others countries commitment towards consolidation of local democracy through District
Councils also called local government authorities. The dedication and function of District
Councils and their Councillors are called into doubt, nevertheless, given the fifteen-year
absence of Councillors and the shifts in policy direction. Finding important structural and
functional components of local government administrative systems in Tanzania, Germany,
Rwanda, and Malawi, as well as how their efforts are directed toward efficient service delivery
within their locales, is the specific goal of this study. The main events and elements that affect
District Council performance under the multiparty system are examined in this study, which is
based on documentary research and enhanced by interviews with top local authority officials
and chosen members of the public. Additionally, the study gathered information from primary
and secondary sources, including newspapers, journals, theses, and unpublished books.
Inconclusion, It was discovered that the central argument is that enhancement of local
governance largely depends on multi-dimensional strategies that will be affected particularly
capacity building and financial support backed by political administrative heads of each local
government. The study further recommends; that it will also be of advantage to address
challenges facing District Councils and it administrative system within it defined geographical
territories.
