The concept of good governance has emerged as a central theme in contemporary public administration, reflecting the growing concern with the quality of governance rather than merely the capacity of governments to rule. It signifies a shift from traditional, hierarchical models of administration toward a more inclusive, transparent, accountable, and responsive framework of governing public affairs.

Good governance ensures that mechanisms are in place to monitor performance, prevent abuse of power, and enforce standards of conduct. Without accountability, public administration risks becoming arbitrary, inefficient, and detached from public interest. Transparency is another
