The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) is an independent authority mandated with the task of determining municipal boundaries, delimiting wards for local elections, and assessing the capacity of municipalities. With a mission to foster sustainable development, democratic participation, and equal access to services, the MDB plays a vital role in creating spatial conditions that support the transformation of local communities. As an overseer, the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) ensures effective governance and coordination in this important process.
