Looking for a simple definition for the phrase "governance is composed of framework for analysis "

Question

Could anyone give me a simple definition for this phrase? I am not interested in a lengthy discussion. This is my understanding, "This governance framework approach is defined as a standard management best practice that keeps the structure of the organization within the realm of established set of rules, objectives, and policies. This is to ensure that there is accountability among various key actors/players, and that the operations within the organization are legally in compliance." If I am wrong, please correct me. I was having difficulties in finding a simple definition. Thanks for your help.

Mark Trevino · Answer

Governance is a process to ensure that practices and procedures are consistently applied across all situations and avoid any outside influences to corrupt or sway a decision or policy towards a particular solution. They ensure that any assumptions used in decision making are technically and legally sound, establish accountability and more importantly ensures that those parties that will be most impacted by these decisions/policies are given the opportunity to participate in the decision making process

'Governance' is a broad framework on vital elements (LAND, Air & Water) that are likely to be impacted through developmental activities.  The framework not only provides rules and regulations but provides standards to be met for each of them.

Paul Taylor · Answer

Governance, as i understand it, is the sum total of the regulating and influencing factors that shape the functions and activities of society.  It is broader than government in its official form, because it should include social structures and even touch on the cultural views and expectations of societies.  For instance, where traditional land ownership involves ideas of the right to, or ownership of, water, these form part of the governance framework and must be taken into account when designing measures to manage water as a resource.
