Abstract: The article deals with the issue of decentralization and deconcentration as specific elements in achieving local democracy, pursuing a comprehensive analysis of these principles. We can say that democracy is a form o f organization and political leadership of society in consultation with citizens, taking into account their will and interests and the aspirations for the progress of the country. It is governance by the people, the supreme power being exercised by the people directly or through elected representatives under a free electoral system. The ultimate aim is to transform people's lives and eradicate poverty by giving political, administrative and financial power to people, in order for them to be able to control their own destiny effectively and to take action for the entire process to be supported. The objective should be to transform the Romanian administration into an efficient and performing administration, the local government thus becoming the true engine of development in Romania. At the end of this process, it is expected that both central and local government will be equal partners in developing the country. Also, it is desired that the entire civil society participation in governance, greater transparency and accountability, respect for rule of law, sound strategies for poverty eradication, main gender and other issues related to disadvantaged groups, were maintained and sustained.
