Description Two villages or neighborhoods, sitting side-by-side, may differ dramatically in the extent to which people participate in decision-making, contribute
to public goods, and enjoy adequate education, health care, or other services. Similarly, men and women, young or old, or people of different ethnic
groups may experience better or worse governance and development outcomes. Such inequalities in governance and service provision raise important
questions. This dataset provides information clustered at the local level on individuals’ perceptions and experiences of/with non-state and state actors
and institutions across sectors such as health, education, security, and administrative services. By assessing governance and service delivery at the
local level, the LGPI can be used to provide a better understanding of local governance and insights to help government officials, political parties,
civil society actors, the public, and the international development community design better programs and policies.
