What is good governance?
Good governance depends on transparency, accountability and equality in ways that are responsive to the needs of people. It is composed of the mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens and groups can articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate their differences.
The resources in the section provide information and strategies about promoting effective governance, including corporate governance, law, civil society and managing the public sector.
