Good governance is important for development despite differences in the way it is defined. This article examines the concept of good governance and analyzes its use by developmental aid donor organizations. The study reveals that donors have conflicting ideas about good governance that converge around five principles: accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, openness and transparency, participation, and rule of law. The article concludes with a critical reflection on the use of the concept by aid donors and warns against treating it as a one-best-way development strategy.
