Responsiveness

Good governance required that institutions try to resolve all the problems of
stakeholders within reasonable time frame. Service authorities are committed to
assist people in a justified time frame in a commencing manner. The malpractices,
such as Red Tapism, which means delayed service, overcharging and bribery are so
rare in good governance.

Equity and Inclusiveness

Good governance ensures certain politics and practices for enabling all the people
in the society to feel that they all have share in its regulation. Opportunities are
provided for all and the most importantly to raise the level of most disadvantaged
ones. A society’s well-being depends on ensuring that they have a stake in it and do
not feel excluded from the mainstream of the society.
Consensus-oriented

Consensus can be achieved through mediation and discussion on what is in the best
interest of the whole community and how this can be acquired. It requires a broad
and long term perspective to meet the goals of sustainable human development. Civil
societies have important parts to play to mediate and facilitate negotiations in favour
of the nation.
Accountability

Accountability is the soul of democratic government. The government and private
institutions along with civil society are essentially responsible to the inspectional
groups of people and to their institutional stakeholders. An organization or on
institution is accountable to those who will be affected by its decision or activities. To
enforce accountability rule of law and transference is required.

People’s Participation

People’s participation is a key requirement of good governance. It could be either direct
or through legitimate intermediate institutions or representatives. It is important
to encourage the efficient administration and development process of the country.
People elect their representative and rulers and maintains control over them. So, the
development of the county depends on the degree of people’s participation.

Rule of law

The set of fair and impartial rules is required to run the government. It ensures the
full protection of human rights with a special consideration upon those minorities.
The rule of law is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to
being governed by arbitrary decisions of individual government official. It primarily
refers to the influence and authority of law within the society including behaviour of
government officials. Impartial enforcement of laws require an independent judiciary
and an impartial and incorruptible police force.
