Governance refers to structures and processes that are designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity and inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation. It also represents the norms, values, and rules of the game through which public affairs are managed in a manner that is transparent, participatory, inclusive, and responsive. In a broad sense, governance is about the culture and institutional environment in which citizens and stakeholders interact among themselves and participate in public affairs. It is more than the organs of the government.

Democracy is a system of government in which laws, policies, leadership, and major undertakings of our governments; national and local at district, sub-county and parish levels are directly or indirectly decided by the “people”. It’s in line with this that our engagement integrates governance and democracy to highlight the aspects of citizens’ involvement and participation, as well as accountability.
