The speakers at the beginning of the workshop, Mr. Ziad Al-Alawna, and Mr. Raad Al-Hasanat said that despite the many definitions of good governance, we could specify that it include all institutions in society, including state agencies, civil society bodies, and the private sector. And that good governance can be measured by achieving civil, political, economic, social and cultural human rights and solidarity rights, promoting the concept of participation, promoting integrity and fighting corruption, achieving sustainable development goals, and building a free media.
