The data from the completed questionnaires was studied, re-coded and entered into the computer using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. Findings from the regression model indicated that 42.5% of the variations in the economic transformation were explained by creativity and innovativeness. The adjusted r square was less than the r square value because it put degrees of freedom into consideration. The model further identified from the coefficient (0.352) that a unit increase in the startup motive resulted into 0.352 units increase in the economic transformation. The researcher recommends the government to prioritize financial empowerment and resource allocation for village local councils to bolster their effectiveness. This entails a thorough review and adjustment of budgetary allocations across government levels, ensuring that village local councils receive adequate financial resources to execute their mandates successfully.
