Political Principles
- Good governance is based on the establishment of a representative and accountable form of government.
- Good governance requires a strong and pluralistic civil society, where there is freedom of expression and association.
- Good governance requires good institutions – sets of rules governing the actions of individuals and organisations and the negotiation of differences between them.
- Good governance requires the primacy of the rule of law, maintained through an impartial and effective legal system.
- Good governance requires a high degree of transparency and accountability in public and corporate processes. A participatory approach to service delivery is important for public services to be effective.
