GOVERNANCE

The African Parliamentary Union has made the theme of "governance" one of its subjects of major concern with regard to its impact on the life and future of the African people.

She has dealt with this theme several times, as its importance remains evident for the achievement of sustainable development.

This concept mainly refers to two sub-concepts which are: political or democratic governance, and economic governance.
