Abstract: The role and performance of local government in sustainable development is very crucial and cannot be over emphasized. The SDGs are an integrated and indivisible framework of human, economic, social and environmental dimension of development. The objective of this study is to assess the performance of local governments in relation to the achievement of good health and well-being (SDG 3) in FCT. The study applied a survey research design with the use of structured questionnaire and the ordered logistic regression model. The Taro Yamane formula was applied to determine the optimum sample size. The findings show that there is a positive relationship between the performance of local government and good health, though their performance is below average and insignificant. Furthermore, there is a robust relationship between EQH, SHW and NRM and the outcome variable, GDH except for CPN, a robust relationship between it and the outcome variable is lacking since the changes in probability are statistically less significant. The conclusion is for local governments have proper strategies and plans for effective and efficient implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all social and economic activities in the local areas that will bring about good health and well-being.
