Good governance refers to the effective and responsible management of a country or organization, characterized by transparency, accountability, rule of law, and participation of citizens in decision-making processes.
Good governance is like a well-run school where everyone follows the rules, communicates openly, and works together towards common goals. The principal ensures that teachers are accountable for their actions, students have a voice in important decisions, and there is fairness in all aspects of school life.
Rule of Law: Rule of law means that everyone is subject to the same laws and regulations without exception. It ensures fairness and equality in society.
Transparency: Transparency refers to openness and clarity in government actions and decision-making processes. It allows citizens to hold their leaders accountable.
Accountability: Accountability means taking responsibility for one's actions or decisions. In good governance, leaders are answerable to the people they serve.
