Principles of good government 

Dear student,
According to the united nations we have eight principles of good governance:- 
 
1- Participation:
People should be able to voice their own opinions through legitimate immediate organizations or representatives.
 
2- Rule of Law:
Legal framework should be enforced impartially, especially on human rights laws.
Without rule of law, politics will follow the principle of matsya nyaya ie law of fish which means the strong will prevail over the weak.
 
3- Consensus Oriented:
Consensus oriented decision-making ensures that even if everyone does not achieve what they want to the fullest, a common minimum can be achieved by everyone which will not be detrimental to anyone.
 
4- Equity and Inclusiveness:
Good governance assures an equitable society.
People should have opportunities to improve or maintain their well-being.
 
5- Effectiveness and Efficiency:
Processes and institutions should be able to produce results that meet the needs of their community.
Resources of the community should be used effectively for the maximum output.
 
6- Accountability:
Good governance aims towards betterment of people, and this can not take place without the government being accountable to the people.
 
7- Transparency:
Information should be accessible to the public and should be understandable and monitored.
It also means free media and access of information to them.
 
8- Responsiveness:
Institutions and processes should serve all stakeholders in a reasonable period of time.
 
Regards
