Good governance is important for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to maintain legitimacy and credibility with donors and the public. The key elements of good governance include transparency in organizational structures, financial reporting, accounting practices, and activities. Adopting standards for proper use of funds and transparent reporting helps NGOs maintain trust and confidence from stakeholders. However, pressures for increased fundraising and competition can sometimes lower standards, emphasizing the need for continuous efforts to ensure transparency and accountability.
