Governance involves the mechanisms through which citizens exercise their rights and interests. It includes public sector management, accountability, legal frameworks, transparency, and anti-corruption efforts. Good governance requires citizen orientation, efficient service delivery, accountability, competent civil servants, and an impartial legal system. It also depends on citizen participation in decision making and an active civil society. Improving governance requires strengthening state institutions, reforming government functions, and forging partnerships between government, citizens, and businesses.
