Governance refers to the exercise of political, economic, and administrative authority and decision-making over political affairs. It involves determining who has power, how decisions are made, and how accountability is determined. Governance includes political, economic, administrative, and ecological domains. Good governance requires transparency, legitimacy, and efficiency in resource use. Government is the institution through which a state maintains its existence and carries out functions like providing social services and reconciling interests through policymaking. It aims to attain domestic order, common defense, liberty, general welfare, and public morality.
