This document discusses strategies for preventing corruption in the Philippines by mobilizing civil society. It summarizes that elections and legislative perks are two major areas of corruption, and outlines strengths and weaknesses of anti-corruption efforts. It argues that civil society groups can help address election irregularities by monitoring votes and ensuring accurate counting. They can also put public pressure on legislators to improve transparency around development funding allocations.
Corruption is widespread in the Philippines and takes many forms, from petty bribery to grand corruption among political leaders. All levels of government are affected, and political parties and elections are especially prone to corruption due to their high costs and patronage-based nature. In response, the country has implemented anti-corruption laws and institutions, and civil society actively works to address corruption. However, entrenched cronyism continues to undermine reform efforts. International donors also support capacity building for anti-corruption in the Philippines.

The document provides an overview of federalism and proposes adopting a federal system of government for the Philippines. Some key points:
- Federalism involves sharing powers between a central federal government and regional state governments. This contrasts with a unitary system where the central government holds most power.
- Most stable and progressive countries have federal systems. Federal countries tend to be less corrupt than unitary countries.
- Adopting federalism in the Philippines would decentralize power away from Metro Manila, establish new economic regions, and give states more autonomy over policies tailored to their needs. This could help address issues in Mindanao and incentivize development outside Manila.
- The proposal outlines how political power would be shared and
Government refers to the body that governs and controls a state, while governance is the process of governing or ruling through laws and regulations. There are two types of governments - democratic and autocratic. Governance involves three types - political, economic, and administrative. Key actors in governance are the state, civil society including non-governmental organizations, and the market or those governed. Governance aims to enable citizens rather than directly manage resources.

A Review of FDRE Civil Society Proclamation No.621/2009Markos Mulat G
This document provides an overview of the Civil Societies Proclamation No. 621/2009 in Ethiopia. It discusses the history of civil society organizations in Ethiopia, the rationale for developing the new law, the law development process, the objectives of the law, key components of the law including different designations for civil society organizations, and implementation strategies. It also notes some of the criticisms of the law from civil society actors who argue it places too many restrictions on their work.
Bad governance can significantly harm a country's economy and development. A case study on Chad and Bangladesh found that Chad, despite having natural resources, was worse off due to its landlocked status requiring an active government to facilitate trade, which a "bad government" does not provide. While turnarounds from failing states are rare, larger populations and greater education levels increase the chances of reform. The costs of neglected states are substantial, with $100 billion estimated as the lower bound cost of what a sustained turnaround is worth for a failing state over its lifetime of failure. Pakistan, Kenya, and Nigeria are examples of countries currently experiencing problems due to issues like corruption, electoral disputes, and misuse of funds that could otherwise support health and
This document discusses corruption in Bangladesh from various perspectives. It begins with conceptual definitions of corruption from the World Bank and Transparency International. It then analyzes Bangladesh's ranking in the Corruption Perceptions Index and outlines relevant anti-corruption laws. The impacts of corruption are explored across social, political, economic, environmental, technological, cultural and religious domains. Specific corrupt practices are described for each sector. The document concludes with a call to join hands against corruption.
Good governance is important for a country's development but has been lacking in Pakistan due to several factors. These include political instability, a lack of accountability, disregard for the rule of law, limited public participation, non-transparency in decision making, inefficient institutions, weak leadership, rampant corruption, human rights issues, and economic crises. Good governance is measured by participation, rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus building, equity, effectiveness, and accountability, but Pakistan struggles in these areas due to ongoing problems with its governance system and structures.
This document discusses the importance of local government. Local government administrates towns, cities, counties and districts and works to govern a particular geographic area. Self-government allows citizens to rule themselves and control their own affairs without external control. The success of national democracy depends on strong local democracy, as local governments ensure good governance and solve local problems according to local needs. Local governments also efficiently manage local affairs to promote socio-economic development and strengthen democracy while reducing the workload of state and central governments.
Governance refers to the act of governing or ruling over a state by its representatives. Good governance is measured by how public institutions conduct affairs and manage resources to meet peoples' needs. Bad governance occurs when a government cannot fulfill the needs of its people, while good governance fills the needs of the people through its rules and laws.

How are good governance and human right linkedranda putrous
Good governance and human rights are mutually reinforcing. Human rights provide values to guide governments and actors, and standards to hold them accountable. They also inform legislative frameworks, policies, programs and budgets. The implementation of human rights relies on enabling legal frameworks, institutions, and processes to respond to population needs. Good governance reforms can advance human rights by improving democratic participation, state service delivery, rule of law reforms, and anti-corruption measures through greater accountability, transparency and participation.
Situation of governance in pakistan by Rahat ul-aainRahat ul Aain
This document analyzes governance issues in Pakistan from a managerial perspective and suggests reforms. It identifies several problems with Pakistan's bureaucracy, including inability to promote welfare, elitism, and inefficiency. Other issues discussed include overemphasis on technology without substance, mismanagement of human capital, lack of consultation on reforms leading to resistance, lack of indigenous policymaking, need to reform intelligence agencies to address militancy and terrorism, and exploitation of Pakistan's economy and resources by international agencies. The document argues that comprehensive reforms are needed across Pakistan's governance systems to address these problems.
This document proposes governance targets and indicators for inclusion in the UN's Post-2015 development framework. It argues that open, inclusive, accountable and effective governance should be a stand-alone goal and integrated into other goals. Five specific governance targets are outlined: 1) ensuring access to development information, 2) curbing corruption and illicit financial flows, 3) enhancing public institution effectiveness and accountability, 4) increasing citizen participation, and 5) ensuring corporate transparency and accountability. Global minimum standards and possible indicators are suggested for each target to balance diversity and comparability.
The document discusses theories of good governance and its importance for development. It outlines 4 key points:
1) Governance has shifted from government-centric to more horizontal networks including business and civil society. Effective states now coordinate public and private resources.
2) Strong, efficient bureaucracies and institutions are important for enforcing contracts and promoting economic growth. Political stability is also important.
3) Strong state involvement is needed to direct development, as seen in developmental states in East Asia. The type of state-society relationship influences economic outcomes.
4) While free markets are important, the state still plays a role in areas like defense, infrastructure, education, taxes, and protecting laborers.
Corruption is widespread in the Philippines and takes many forms, from petty bribery to grand corruption among political leaders. Key sectors affected include political parties, the judiciary, police, land and permit services, education, health and tax collection. In response, the Philippines has established anti-corruption laws and institutions, and civil society organizations actively work to curb corruption. However, entrenched patronage systems and cronyism continue to undermine anti-corruption efforts. International donors also support capacity building to reduce corruption in the country.
Corruption is a major problem in the Philippines that undermines good governance and economic development. The Philippines ranks poorly in international corruption indexes and surveys show that the public perceives widespread corruption, especially in revenue collection agencies and infrastructure projects. While the government expresses commitment to anti-corruption efforts, systemic and institutionalized corruption are entrenched issues according to analyses of the Philippine experience with monopolies of power, lack of transparency and accountability, and a culture where corrupt practices are socially accepted.

Here are some of the key challenges facing the education sector in Ethiopia:
- Shortage of qualified teachers: There is a lack of enough qualified teachers at all levels of education to meet the growing demand. Teacher training programs need to be expanded.
- Inadequate infrastructure and facilities: Schools lack adequate classrooms, furniture, water and sanitation facilities, laboratories and other teaching/learning materials. Rapid expansion of the system has strained infrastructure.
- Poor quality of education: Overcrowded classrooms and shortage of teachers has negatively impacted the quality of education. Learning outcomes need to be improved.
- High dropout and repetition rates: Dropout rates remain high especially for girls and children from poor households. Repetition rates indicate
This document summarizes the key findings of research conducted by Transparency International on anti-corruption efforts in six South Asian countries. It finds that while countries have passed some anti-corruption laws, political interference and lack of independence weaken enforcement. Citizens face challenges accessing information and there is little whistleblower protection. As a result, corruption is increasing and accountability is lacking. The report calls for strengthening rights to information, whistleblower protection, and the independence of anti-corruption agencies and judiciaries.
This document discusses anti-corruption strategies in Afghanistan. It describes how corruption in Afghanistan has become systemic and entrenched. The High Office of Oversight was established as Afghanistan's main anti-corruption agency, but it and other institutions have been limited in their ability to curb corruption due to lack of capacity and unwillingness to prosecute high-level officials. Corruption is pervasive in the government and has undermined the justice system, natural resource management, donor funding, media oversight, and education system. Urgent reforms are needed to strengthen anti-corruption efforts.
