Abstract
Sufficient financing in local government institutions is the key to effectively carry out a wide range of functions at the local level. In Bangladesh, municipalities play a pivotal role in delivering various services and engaging in socio-economic activities. This research aims to assess the financial conditions of urban local government organizations in Bangladesh, with a particular emphasis on Gangni Pourashava in Meherpur District. The study adopts a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, including a structured questionnaire survey and interviews for data collection. The findings reveal that local governments exhibit favorable financial conditions to cover their expenditures. However, a stark contrast emerges when considering citizen satisfaction, with widespread dissatisfaction attributed to the perceived lack of financial responsibility, citizen participation, and transparency. Notably, the research identifies several key challenges, including the absence of financial autonomy, dependence on government grants, and resource constraints. These findings suggest that municipalities need to engage in comprehensive financial planning that is transparent and involves greater citizen participation.
