According to the UNECA, good governance encompasses a range of actions aimed at creating more open, participatory societies, and promoting greater accountability and transparency in public affairs. Botswana is one of the states that are undertaking this project for the second time, having participated in the initial studies that culminated in the production of the African Governance Report 2015.
