Trust in Governance
Trust in governance refers to the confidence citizens have that government institutions and leaders will act honestly, fairly, and effectively to serve the public’s best interests. It involves believing that policies are made transparently, decisions are free from corruption, and authorities are accountable. When people trust their government, they are more likely to cooperate with laws, participate in civic activities, and support national development. Building this trust requires consistent integrity, transparency, and responsiveness from those in power, fostering a sense of security and legitimacy within society.
