Abstract
The local government policy and institutional framework in the advent of multiparty democracy signalledMalawi‟s commitment towards consolidation of local democracy through District Councils also called local government authorities. However, the fifteen year absence of Councillors and changes in policy direction raises questions regarding the commitment as well as the role of District Councils and its Councillors.This paper which is based on documentary research and supplemented by interviews conducted with senior local authority officials and selected members of the publicanalyses the major developments and factors that have a bearing on the performance of District Councils in the multiparty dispensation. The central argument is that enhancement of local governance largely depends on multi-dimensional strategies that will be effected particularly capacity building and financial support backed by political will to address challenges facing District Councils
