How can good governance be defined for different people?
Good governance to different people is one that is born with divergent, depending on their context, values, and expectations. However, some common elements of good governance can be identified across various domains and sectors. These include:
– Accountability: The ability of decision-makers and implementers to answer for their actions and results, and to be held responsible for them.
– Transparency: The availability and accessibility of relevant and timely information to all stakeholders, and the openness of processes and procedures.
– Participation: The involvement and empowerment of all stakeholders, especially those who are affected by or have an interest in the decisions and actions, in the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies and programs.
– Effectiveness: The achievement of desired outcomes and impacts, using appropriate and efficient means and resources, and avoiding unnecessary costs and negative side effects.
– Equity: The fair and impartial distribution of benefits and burdens, and the protection and promotion of the rights and interests of all groups, especially those who are marginalized or disadvantaged.
– Rule of law: The adherence to and enforcement of legal frameworks and norms that are consistent with international standards and principles, and that protect human rights and ensure justice.
Good governance is not a fixed or static concept, but rather a dynamic and evolving one that requires constant adaptation and improvement to suit changing circumstances and needs. Good governance is also not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a context-specific and participatory process that reflects the diversity and complexity of human societies.
