Explain any 6. obstacles or challenge of good governance in Nepal
Answers
Answer:
Accountability:
Accountability is itself a vague term to define in precise terms. It is said to be exist in such a space where there is an individual and a form of body from whom the individual is seeking some kind of help, assistance, information justification or an action or vice versa. So, it deals with the process of enforcement and answerability. Accountability ensures the actions and enforcement decisions taken by public officials are totally in favor of the agendas of the general public or organizations they are meant to be benefitting.
Transparency:
Transparency is another important aspect of good governance. The notion of transparency is generally understood as “the perceived quality of intentionally sent information from the sender”. In other words, transparency can be defined as doing any jobs in such a way that it is very easy for others to know how much the job has been done in a given time. In governance, the general public are supposed to know if the government is doing what it has committed or supposed to do. Transparency can be guaranteed by regular delivery of informations from the government bodies to the general public about the works they are doing.
Participation:
The notion of participation can be defined as the active engagement of the general public in any forms of decision making of the government so that they can implement those policies in local level with a guarantee of local ownership. UN Public Administration Glossary defines participation as:
…involvement of citizens in a wide range of policy-making activities, including determination of levels of service, budget priority and acceptability of physical construction projects in order to orient government programs towards community needs, build public support, and encourage a sense of public cohesiveness in neighborhoods (2008).
Legitimacy:
Legitimacy provides a ground for the governing bodies to make decisions and effectively implement them in the targeted area. Without legitimacy, the decisions made by government or other assisting bodies of any government may face resistance from the public or opposition in forms of violent and non-violent movements.
Responsiveness and Delivery of Justice:
Responsiveness is directly related to delivery of public goods. In good governance, the government is said to be able to deliver all the public goods and services the public are in need of. Public goods here means all the services that should be delivered by state in an indiscriminate manner like justice, freedom and other basic needs of the people which are guaranteed by the constitution of that state.
