At the last Conference on "Urgent Administrative Problems of African
Governments", its Committee IV outlined the historical background
of the local government systems in Africa, as they were in existence up to 1962.The Conference quite rightly believed that the experience of developed countries was valid and that the basic principles of local government are of universal application, although practice is subject to many variations.However, the Conference added a special principle of local government in Africa: "The potential ability to promote national unity and economic
development."
