Abstract

This study strived to analyse the level and extent of involving local government authorities in the development of the Malawi Secondary Cities Plan and its associated legislative instruments. The findings of the study demonstrate lack of coordination between the central and local government authorities leading to an obvious decimal or no progress at all. Local councils must take an active role through its association and demand more involvement for the betterment of the general citizenry.
