“Governance is defined as the manner in which power is exercised in the management of a country's economic and social resources for development”.
“Good governance is central to creating and sustaining an environment which fosters strong and equitable development and it is an essential complement to sound economic policies”.
“The concept of good governance derives its relevance in the context of misgovernanace which includes non feasance, over feasance and malfeasance.”
David Osborne and Ted Gaebler, Reinventing Government (London1992). By good governance was meant at that time sound development management.
