Good governance

Good Governance is an approach to government that is creating a system founded in justice

and peace that protects individual’s human rights and civil liberties.

According to the United Nations, Good Governance is measured by the eight factors of

Participation

Responsibility.

Rule of Law,

Transparency,

Justice and inclusion

Responsiveness,

Consensus-oriented,

Effectiveness and efficiency

Thomas Jefferson often said about the term of good government. In his opinion, the
government should to be judged by how well it meets its legitimate objectives.

For him, a good government was the one that most effectively secures the rights of the people
and the rewards of their labor .

In international development, good governance is a way of measuring how public institutions

conduct public affairs and manage public resources in a preferred way. Governance is "the
process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not
implemented)".[1] Governance in this context can apply to corporate, international, national, or
local governance[1] as well as the interactions between other sectors of society.
 E-governance

Electronic governance or e-governance is the application of information and communication

technology (ICT) for delivering government services, exchange of information, communication
transactions, integration of various stand-alone systems and services between government-to-
citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B), government-to-government (G2G), government-
to-employees (G2E) as well as back-office processes and interactions within the entire
government framework.[1] Through e-governance, government services are made available to
citizens in a convenient, efficient, and transparent manner. The three main target groups that
can be distinguished in governance concepts are government, citizens, and businesses/interest
groups. In e-governance, there are no distinct boundaries.[2]
