    Good Governance in Local and National

    Government

    Governance is commonly defined as the
    exercise of power or authority by political leaders for
    the well-being of their country’s citizens or subjects.
    It is the complex process whereby some sectors of
    the society wield power, and enact public policies
    which directly affect human and institutional
    interactions, and economic and social development.

    The power exercised by the participating sectors of


    the society is always for the common good, as it is
    essential for demanding respect and cooperation
    from the citizens and the state.
    Good Governance
    is perceived as a normative
    principle of administrative law,
    which obliges the State to
    perform its functions in a manner
    that promotes the values of
    efficiency, no corruptibility, and
    responsiveness to civil society.
    The characteristics of good governance
    1. Participation
    Participation by both men and women is a key
    cornerstone of good governance. Participation
    could be either direct or through legitimate
    intermediate institutions or representatives. It is
    important to point out that representative
    democracy does not necessarily mean that the
    concerns of the most vulnerable in society
    would be taken into consideration in decision
    making
    2. Rule of law
    Good governance requires fair
    legal frameworks that are
    enforced impartially. It also
    requires full protection of human
    rights, particularly those of
    minorities. Impartial enforcement
    of laws requires an independent
    judiciary and an impartial and
    incorruptible police force.
    3.Transparency
    Transparency means that decisions
    taken and their enforcement are
    done in a manner that follows rules
    and regulations. It also means that
    information is freely available and
    directly accessible to those who will
    be affected by such decisions and
    their enforcement.
    4. Responsiveness
    Good governance requires
    that institutions and
    processes try to serve all
    stakeholders within a
    reasonable timeframe.
    5. Consensus oriented
    There are several actors and as
    many view points in a given society.
    Good governance requires
    mediation of the different interests
    in society to reach a broad
    consensus in society on what is in
    the best interest of the whole
    community and how this can be
    achieved.
    6.Equity and inclusiveness
    Means that all the members of the
    society, especially the most
    vulnerable ones or the grassroots
    level, must be taken into
    consideration in policy-making.
    Everyone has a stake in the society
    and no one should feel alienated
    from it.
    7.Effectiveness and efficiency
    Good governance means that
    processes and institutions produce
    results that meet the needs of society
    while making the best use of resources
    at their disposal. The concept of
    efficiency in the context of good
    governance also covers the
    sustainable use of natural resources
    and the protection of the environment.
    8. Accountability
    Accountability is a key requirement of
    good governance.
    It is based on the principle that every
    person or group is responsible for their
    actions most especially when their acts
    affect public interest.
    The actors have an obligation to
    explain and be answerable for the
    consequences of decisions and actions
    they have made on behalf of the
    community it serves.
