Good governance is seen as the manner in which power is exercised in the management of

countries economic and social resources for development WB (2005) cited in Grindle(2006). On
the other hand, The term good governance characterized as participatory, transparent, and
accountable is generally understood as referring to the quality of public institutions and the
provision of public good to the community at large(Anello,2008,imminak,2010,Tahir,2008, and
Popoveych,2008).Hence from this it can be inferred that good governance is about the real
practice of the principles of transparency and accountability, responsiveness, effectiveness and
efficiency to bring development by avoiding all setbacks of governance(Kenedy,2008). In the
context of this study good governance is related to decision making process, implementation of
policies and decisions, and the allocation of resources at local level. This means it is clearly
related with local government (as the level or sphere of government closed to citizens) on the on
hand and a variety of stakeholders groups (or so called non-state actors) on the other.
