dc.description.abstractAs the world is growing, the need to introduce ‘good governance’ has become a slogan of every other research paper. However the term is as lucrative and unrealistic as the imaginary castles and empires built by Sheikh Chilli, the famous character from story books, in his thoughts and found him surrounded by people laughing at him when he shook his head to come back to the conscious world. Governance is more effective when policies are inclusive of real opportunities, real resources, and real localities. For this purpose, it is necessary to involve citizens through various ways in all the phases of governance mechanism. The paper intends to provide with information and understanding about the real elements influencing communities’ participation in Gilgit Baltistan. The research adopts a qualitative approach in analyzing those elements which could breed or curb community participation in governance in the region. Geography, administrative status, scarce resources and many more elements explained in this paper make participation a difficult phenomenon in the governance. The paper looks at how the citizens and those working in the socio-economic realm of the region view these factors wearing the lens of participatory approach.
