Introduction

In recent years, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed every aspect of our lives, including the way in which governments operate. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing opportunity to revolutionize local governance and drive positive change within communities.

The need for effective and efficient governance at the local level has never been more pressing. In Ghana, like many other developing countries, local governments are facing numerous challenges such as limited resources, lack of data-driven decision making, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. These issues hinder their ability to provide essential services and address the needs of their citizens effectively.

This book aims to explore how artificial intelligence can enhance local governance in Ghana by addressing these challenges and bringing about meaningful progress. It will delve into various AI applications that can be utilized by local governments to improve service delivery, promote transparency and accountability, and foster citizen participation in decision-making processes.
