National Campaign for Reforms in Governance

Governance is characterised by the principles of participation, where all men and women have a voice in decision-making; rule of law, where all are equal before law and the legal system is fair; transparency of policy making institutions by ensuring information at the public domain; responsiveness of institutions and processes in serving all; equity in provision of equal opportunities to men and women; accountability of the public and private institutions to the citizens; effectiveness and efficiency in optimum use of resources; consensus in mediating the different needs to reach the best interests of all groups; and with a long-term vision on human development.
