The devolution of power significantly impacts local governance by decentralizing authority and resources. It empowers local governments to make decisions aligned with community needs, fostering greater accountability and responsiveness. Enhanced local control often leads to improved public services and tailored solutions for regional challenges. However, it can also create disparities in resource distribution and governance capacity, leading to inequality among regions. Successful devolution requires a balance between local autonomy and overarching national standards to ensure equitable development.
