Good governance is dependent upon the efficient and decentralized management of public policy in which people are empowered to participate in and influence the process of poverty reduction and the sustained growth of the economy. It requires legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks, which promote and sustain the accountability of government business and government machinery by the public at large and civil society organizations. 

The focus of this section is thus to examine the institutional framework of the district assembly and the problems inherent in the structure. It also looks at the current relationship between the assembly and civil society organizations in the district in the quest for good governance. Finally, it assesses the capacity of the security agencies and the judiciary system of the district.
