Description

Good governance is found to be closely linked with sustainable and equitable development of a country. Howsoever good policies may be they will have very little positive effect unless the institutions implementing those policies are governed well.

Governance structure of any country consists of a Judiciary, Legislature and Executive. The current efforts in Pakistan to assert the supremacy of the Parliament and to establish the independence of judiciary are the steps in the right direction. Once accomplished, these measures will contribute towards the improvement of the governance. But for an ordinary citizen it is the Executive branch that is most germane for his day-to-day life. An effective set of institutions with capable and competent Civil Servants, streamlined and simplified process, that are fully accountable to the Parliament for results would make a lot of difference whether a citizen suffers misery and grief or obtains redress and relief at the hands of these institutions.
