We envision good governance as the responsible conduct of public affairs including but not limited to the prudent management of public resources, processes and institutions for the greater public good. We believe that building democratic, accountable, and inclusive systems and institutions is essential to increasing trust between citizens and leaders, transforming communities and achieving sustainable development, especially in Africa. We recognize that together, responsive leadership and meaningful participation by civically conscious citizens can reduce unequal access to public goods and improve service delivery at all levels.
