5. What is governance?
• The act of governing
• World Bank- governance is the
process – by which authority is
conferred on rulers, by which
they make the rules, and by
which those rules are enforced
and modified. Thus,
understanding governance
requires an identification of
both the rulers and the rules,
as well as the various
processes by which they are
selected, defined, and linked
together and with the society
generally.
To you and me good governance:
- Efficient smooth process
- A process of participation in
decision making
- To ensure democracy
