Good governance refers to the principles and practices through which public institutions and authorities manage public affairs and resources. It is essential for building a just, inclusive, and accountable society. The widely recognised eight pillars of good governance are: participation, rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus orientation, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, and accountability. Together, these principles ensure that power is exercised responsibly, citizens’ rights are protected, and public trust in institutions is strengthened. Promoting good governance is fundamental to democratic stability, social justice, and sustainable development.
