Good Governance Ensures Accountability

Governance is the extension of governmental affairs and includes private and non-profit sectors. When all these sectors and their agencies are rule-based and follow integrity, there is good governance which can be defined as the effective, accountable, transparent and equitable management of public resources and affairs. It emphasises the importance of making decisions in a way that reflects the needs, interests, and rights of all actors affected by the matter or decision. Good governance ensures that state actors exercise their powers in the best interest of society while promoting transparency, accountability, inclusivity, participation, and the rule of law.
