考虑到善治的重要性，本文探讨了孟加拉国最低地方政府层级（联村理事会）的治理状况。通过应用四个善政指标-领导、人民参与、透明度、问责制和公平-预期调查结果将为现有的地方治理知识增添新的内容。根据从实地收集的经验数据，研究结果表明，地方一级的治理状况不利于在该国建立善治和强有力的地方民主。尽管在2009年《地方政府（联村理事会）法》中纳入了不同的条款（ward shava、公开预算、公民宪章和知情权），但政府未能确保参与、问责、善治和透明度。在此背景下，地方政府机构的治理特点是地方政府领导人不愿确保发展，缺乏人民参与、透明度和问责制，以及服务分配不均。
Considering the importance of good governance, the article explores the governance situation of the lowest local government tier (Union Parishad) in Bangladesh. Through the application of four good governance indicators—leadership, people’s participation, transparency and accountability and equity—the expectation is that the findings would add a new dimension to the existing knowledge of local governance. Based on empirical data collected from the field, the study findings suggest that the governance situation at the local level is not conducive for the establishment of good governance and strong local democracy in the country. Despite incorporation of different provisions (ward shava, open budget, citizen charter and right to information) in the Local Government (Union Parishad) Act of 2009, the government has failed to ensure participation, accountability, good governance and transparency. Against this backdrop, the governance of local government bodies has been characterised by reluctance of local government leaders in ensuring development, lack of people’s participation, transparency and accountability and unequal distribution of services.
