We collect basic law literature and facts from everyday life regarding the management, how it was done and why it failed on giving an efficient public service by the local government. This is done by comparing this management on different periods and comparing the results of them. The result is that local governance has not function well as a public manager in Albania. Things can be improved by taking the steps and making the changes resulting from our study. In this paper I will show how the public management its done by the local government units in Albania after ‘90, the pro and contra of the system, the disbalance through the units regarding the management of public funds and those on collecting taxes and the recommendations on improving the management.
