Governance and Sustainable Development

PREVIEW

Answer: Good corporate extends beyond what the government may impose
in terms of rules and regulations. It's also about company ethics and ideals. It
all boils down to the trust that firms and their various stakeholders develop
over time.

considerably improved by good governance, which is expressed, for example,
in the control of corruption and the creation and execution of efficient

of economic success, particularly in developing countries. The findings
revealed that, in addition to capital per capita and total factor productivity
growth, excellent governance can also be a significant contributor to income

ISSUES ON GOVERNMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

PREVIEW
As the state's arm, the government's responsibility is to establish rules and
regulations that market participants must adhere to. In administering a liberal
market, good governance is both a necessary and a critical quality. Apart from
traditional drivers of economic development such as technological
advancement, capital accumulation, and a country's endowment of resources,
the control of economic and political activity by private and governmental
institutions is a significant source of economic development.

REFLECTIONS

1. Policy issues, concerns and challenge are our county’s problem in making
a law or mandating it. There is a systematic process in policy making under
the legislative branch. Without the required characteristics for a policy, and
with extensive graft and corruption, many policies fail to command respect
and compliance.

2. Corruption, in turn, can make it difficult to implement or enforce good

governance concepts and processes. Corruption appears to be most directly
linked to violations of the ideals of transparency, accountability, and the rule of
law. Transparency, accountability, and the rule of law are all harmed by
corruption. It also affects good governance by undermining the confidence of
governmental organizations and authorities.

3. Bureaucracy issues made maintaining objectivity, accountability, and

transparency in decision making and government operations difficult and gave
rise to a host of other problems, including poor implementation and
coordination.

of problems in our government. We can start resolving it in our home, school
and community. If parents will just raised their child properly, if school will just
educate students morals and not just academics and if community leaders will
serve as good examples, our future leaders can solve the issues on
governance and development.

REFLECTIONS

1. Transparency lowers the information barrier, allowing for inspection and

monitoring, and hence detection (and lessens the possibility of corrupt
behavior). Transparency also deters corruption by making it more likely that it
will be uncovered. Accountability may aid in the prevention of corruption and
other wrongdoings, as well as the enforcement of standards and processes,
as well as the improvement of performance and organizational learning.

2. Openness will improve our democracy while also promoting government

efficiency and effectiveness. Transparency in government is essential.
Transparency encourages accountability and informs citizens about the
actions of their government. The National Government's information is a
valuable national resource. Transparency encompasses accountability as a
concept. It is assumed to operate in a continuous manner since it is linked to
and offers the enabling environment for increased accountability.
Transparency is a term used to describe the process of exposing government
and governance to the public and encouraging more citizen participation.

3. Transparency and accountability creates trust among citizens, enhances

citizen’s engagement with government, improves internal efficiency, and
promotes open government on a global scale.

1. The most meaningful lesson in this session is that accountability and

transparency has a very essential role to government and governance
development. Openness will strengthen our democracy while
simultaneously increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of government.
Government transparency is critical. Transparency promotes
accountability and keeps citizens informed about their government's
actions. The information held by the National Government is an important
national resource. As a notion, transparency encompasses responsibility.
Because it is tied to and provides the enabling environment for higher
accountability, it is believed to run continuously. The process of exposing
government and governance to the public and fostering increased citizen
participation is referred to as transparency.

accountability and transparency?

order to improve the delivery and accessibility of public services and the
interaction between government agencies and citizens.
