10. Government vs Governance
 Government
 Government is the body of
representatives that governs and
controls the state at a given time.
 Government is the medium
through which the power of the
state is employed.
 Governance
 Governance is the act of governing or
ruling.
 It is the set of rules and laws framed
by the government that are to be
implemented through the
representatives of the state.
 In Summary, governance is what
governments do.
Governance is the physical exercise of the policy while the
government is the body through which this is done.

11. Components of Good Governance

12. Rule of Law
-As per the constitution of Nepal 2015, no one is above the law.
- It requires the president, Supreme court and other government
officials to take an oath of law, to follow the constitution.

13. - Information should be provided in easily understandable forms
and media;
that it should be freely available and
directly accessible to those who will be affected by governance
policies and practices,
as well as the outcomes resulting therefrom;
and that any decisions taken and their enforcement are in
compliance with established rules and regulations.

14. Cont.
 Practice of openly and honestly disclosing information to
stakeholders.
 It is also important to stop corruption.
 The decision making process must be followed and made
understood by the people.
 This means that they will be able to understand see how and
why a decision was made.

15. Accountability
- Fundamental requirement of good governance.
- Local government has an obligation to report, explain and is responsible for
the consequences of decisions it has made on behalf of the community it
represents.

16. Participation

17.  Success of good governance is impossible without participation
of people.
 All those people who all are interested in a decision should
have the opportunity to participate in the process for making
that decision.
 The participation can be done in a number of ways as they can
actively participate in community meetings.
 In the meetings, people can be asked for their opinion, given
the opportunity to make suggestions.

Cont. Participation

18. Responsiveness

19. Cont.
 The local government must take responsibility to serve the
needs of the entire community while balancing competing
interests in a timely, organised and responsive manner.
 There must be proper functioning of all the activities
undertaken by the government.
To serve the best interests of stakeholders within a reasonable
timeframe.

20. Consensus Oriented

21. Cont.
 Good governance requires consultation to understand the
different interests of stakeholders in order to reach a broad
consensus of what is in the best interest of the entire
stakeholder group and how this can be achieved in a sustainable
and prudent manner.

22. Equity and Inclusiveness
 Equity and inclusiveness is one of the important principles in
ensuring Good Governance.
 In the absence of a leadership that encourages openness,
participation, transparency we may not envisage equity and
inclusiveness.
 A society’s well being depends on ensuring that all its members
feel that they have a stake in it and do not feel excluded from
the mainstream of society. This requires all groups, but
particularly the most vulnerable, have opportunities to improve
or maintain their well being.
 This can be achieved only if the leader gives such opportunity;
otherwise, the society, particularly, those vulnerable have no
chance to reflect their interest.

23. Effectiveness and Efficiency
 The local government should implement decisions and follow processes in the
interests of the people. These processes must make the best use of available
people, resources and time to ensure the best possible results for their
community.

24. Towards Improved Governance:
 Good governance is an ideal which is difficult to achieve in its
totality.
 Governance typically involves well-intentioned people who
bring their ideas, experiences, preferences and other human
strengths and shortcomings to the policy-making table.
 Good governance is achieved through an on-going discourse that
attempts to capture all of the considerations involved in
assuring that stakeholder interests are addressed and reflected
in policy initiatives.

25. Youth
 In the most of the countries the youth age has been fixed in between 15 to
35 years whereas international organizations like the United Nations and the
World Bank have considered the age group of 15 to 24 years as of the youth.
 In the context of Nepal, the National Youth Council Act, 2072(2015) has fixed
the age group of 16 to 40 years as youth age.
 it seems to cover 40.35 percent of the total population

26. Present Status of the Youth
 Youth literacy -71%
 Nepal in global youth development Indicators – 145 place
 Nepalese youth going every year to foreign countries for employment – 5.38
lakhs

27. Leadership Qualities
 Vision - Clear, exciting idea of where they are going and what they are trying
to accomplish and are excellent at strategic planning. This quality of vision
changes a “transactional manager” into a “transformational leader.”
 Courage - Having the quality of courage means that you are willing to take
risks in the achievement of your goals with no assurance of success.
 Integrity - The core of integrity is truthfulness. Integrity requires that you
always tell the truth, to all people, in every situation.
 Humility – Great leaders are those who are strong and decisive but also
humble. Humility doesn’t mean that you’re weak or unsure of yourself. It
means that you have the self-confidence and self-awareness to recognize the
value of others without feeling threatened. Who accept the mistakes

28. Cont.
 Strategic Planning - Great leaders are outstanding at strategic planning. It’s
another one of the more important leadership strengths. They have the
ability to look ahead, to anticipate with some accuracy where the industry
and the markets are going.
 Focus - Leaders focus on results, on what must be achieved by themselves, by
others, and by the company. Great leaders focus on strengths, in themselves
and in others.
 Cooperation - Leadership is the ability to get people to work for you because
they want to.
 Communication skill
 Competence

29. Role of Youth maintaining Good
Governance
 Without effective leadership and Good Governance at all levels in private,
public and civil organizations, it is arguably virtually impossible to achieve
and to sustain effective administration, to achieve goals, to sustain quality
and deliver first-rate services
 Every individual, particularly, leaders are required to be committed to their
words to discharge their responsibilities as a leader and as an individual;
commitment is the foundation for all other responsibilities;
 Leaders are required to “walk their talk”; they are required to do practically
what they have said by their mouth;
 Readiness to accept change is another key element in ensuring Good
Governance; so that the current leaders and the emerging future leaders
should have to be ready to accept change and go accordingly.

30.  Good governance is definitely a fundamental right. The not-so-far
dream of government,
 Can only be achieved through minimum government and maximum
governance.
 Precisely, good governance is applicable to all sections of society. To
have a citizen friendly, caring and responsive community, an ethical
and standardized set of rules have to be followed.
 Good governance is not just a function of Central and State
government alone but also judiciaries, media, private and corporate
sectors, NGOs etc. Such institutions of change are organs of nation-
state governments. These must also go hand in hand with the
democratic ideals.
 Observing December 25 as Good Governance Day does not assure an
efficient administration but moving together on the mission of good
governance does ensure sustainable development.

31. Conclusion
 There is a direct link between Good Governance, effective leadership and
economic prosperity.
 Effective leadership and Good Governance are two sides of the same coin.
The two have many elements in common.
 Without an effective leadership we may not envisage Good Governance in its
totality. In fact, Good Governance may not be achieved in its totality because
of cultural, psychological, social and sociological impacts and differences. Its
implementation and perception also varies inline with the level of
development and demands of the society.
 Due to this, the practice shows that very few countries and societies have
come close to achieving good governance in its totality.
