Good Governance encompasses the values, rules, institutions, and processes through which people and organizations attempt to work towards common objectives, make decisions, generate authority and legitimacy, and exercise power for the benefit of people.
Democracy is a critical element in good governance, has affected nearly every nation on earth. Over the past two decades, more than 81 countries have made significant gains in democratization and are now working to establish stable and effective institutions, improve public sector management, reform their legal and judicial systems, protect human rights, strengthen local civil society, and carry out peacebuilding after armed conflict.
Despite this progress, conflict, corruption, lack of respect for human rights (especially for women), and inadequate public services continue to challenge many countries.
There is a consensus in the international community that the Millennium Development Goals cannot be reached without good governance. Hence every nation needs efforts to build the conditions for secure, equitable development by promoting good governance in democratization, human rights, upholding the rule of law, public-sector capacity building; and conflict prevention.
