This study aims to analyze the structure of local governments in
Afghanistan. After the US intervention in Afghanistan, the state has been
reorganized. This situation has also had a reflection on local government
institutions. In Afghanistan, as local governments, there are provinces,
districts, municipalities and villages. Furthermore, at the central level, the
Independent Directorate of Local Governance also works in the field of local
governments. The local governments of Afghanistan have been tried to get structured
with the goals of democracy and development. Within the framework of the
development objective, parliaments would have been established at different
levels, and members of these councils were considered to be elected to work.
However, it is difficult to say that these goals have been reached. The
administration has a centralized understanding in practice, elections are not
held accurately, and there are also important issues such as corruption and
incapability. In general, Afghanistan's public administration, in particular
the local governments, have a problematic image.
