Governance
is the manner in which the power is exercised in the management of a
country's economic and social resources. There are three distinct
aspects of governance- (a) the form of political regime; (b) the process
by which authority is exercised in the management of a country's
economic and social resources for development; (c) the capacity of
governments to design, formulate and implement policies and discharge
functions.

Governance
is the exercise of the political, economic and administrative authority
in the management of a country's affairs at all levels. It comprises
mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens and groups
articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their
obligations, and mediate their differences.
(UNDP)

Governance
is the sum of the many ways individuals and institutions, public and
private, manage their common affairs. It is a continuing process
through which conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and
cooperative actions may be taken. It includes formal institutions and
regimes empowered to enforce compliance, as well as informal
arrangements that people and institutions either have agreed to or
perceive to be in their interests.

Humane
governance is governance dedicated to securing human development. It
must enable the state, civil society and the private sector to help
build capacities, which will meet the basic needs of all people,
particularly women, children and the poor. It requires effective
participation of people in state, civil society and private sector
activities that are conducive to human development.
(Mahbub ul Haq Human Development Centre)

The
concept of governance denotes the use of political authority and
exercise of control in a society in relation to the management of its
resources for social and economic development. This broad definition
encompasses the role of public authorities in establishing the
environment in which economic operators function and in determining
the distribution of benefits, as well as the nature of the
relationship between the ruler and the ruled.
