Embracing IDEAL governance: a prerequisite for navigating complexity and achieving better outcomes

Chair(s): Natasja HOLTZHAUSEN (University of Pretoria, South Africa)

Presenter(s): Najat Zarrouk (UCLG Africa), Harlan Cloete (University of the Free State), Hamid Ali (Doha Institute for Graduate Studies)

In a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex global landscape, the need for strong and adaptive governance frameworks is paramount. This panel will delve into the critical role of the IDEAL principle – Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Adaptability, and Leaving No One Behind – in shaping the future of governance. Our distinguished panelists will explore how embedding these principles can transform mindsets within public administrations, enhance the skills of governance practitioners, and expand the knowledge base necessary for effective policy-making and citizen engagement. The discussion will focus on practical strategies and innovative approaches for fostering strategic, inclusive, and informed decision-making that leads to tangible improvements in policy outcomes and increased citizen satisfaction.
