Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Central governments may have different values and interests than local populations which can create friction and resistance to programs of planned change. Local populations may feel that their cultural identity or traditional way of life is being threatened by the changes imposed by a centralized government. Therefore, there is a need for effective communication and consultation with the local population to ensure their input and buy-in for successful implementation.
