Local Governance Profile PUNJAB
This chapter analyzes the state of local governance in Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous and administratively dominant province. Despite frequent legislative activity and multiple local government laws since 2001, Punjab’s experience has been defined by discontinuity, executive control, and a lack of genuine political will. This analysis examines the paradox of “Legislative Motion without Movement”—how repeated legal reforms have failed to translate into meaningful devolution, leaving local governments structurally weak, fiscally dependent, and politically sidelined.
