Key principles, ambitions and dreams: Democracy and accountability: institutions are at the service of communities, not the other way around. Effectiveness: ‘Bottom-up’ is best! Communities themselves are best placed to understand the challenges they face and how to tackle them. Responsiveness: Decisions taken at the level of government closest to the people (subsidiarity) to ensure policies that respond to different local contexts and priorities. Inclusiveness: good governance is democratic but protects minorities and the most vulnerable of each community. In other words: Democratic, accountable, effective, responsive and inclusive local governance to improve wellbeing for all.
