The Good Governance Partnership
by Good Governance Partnership
Is Good Governance a value or a principle that stands for itself, autonomously, without any link to other aspects of a state’s organization? Or is good governance rather an integral part of each sector in which policy decisions are made? We will address these questions in this monthly series, step by step, by looking at the key challenges, the application of Good Governance principles is facing in the context of crisis. This is to show that Good Governance is more, than a means to itself. It is a requirement for success, sustainability, and growth. Martin El-Khouri welcomes you all!
