| dc.description.abstract | Good governance is one of the heated topics in the 21 st century, and it is vital for the organization’s sustainability. This research was conducted to assess good governance in NGOs based in the Dang district in Nepal. At present, NGO culture is booming in Nepal but with limited sustainable impact on the lives of community beneficiaries and employees. Thus the rationale behind this research is to assess management practice in NGOs and evaluate its effectiveness in instituting good governance in its working modality. The research focuses on four main elements of good governance, i.e., Accountability, Transparency, the Rule of Law, and Participation. The quantitative approach and descriptive statistics were adopted to assess good governance. A simple random sampling technique selected 113 respondents from 14 NGOs in the Dang district. The local field enumerators were used to conduct the questionnaire survey, followed by online meetings with the executive members of each selected NGO. The research data were further analyzed using statistical software. The result shows that most respondents were optimistic regarding their organization’s management practice and knew the importance of good governance. The correlation and regression analysis further reflect that all elements positively correlated with good governance. However, accountability and the rule of law were significantly correlated with good governance. Hence, along with strengthening current practices, the NGOs must focus on enhancing transparency and increasing participation from the community beneficiaries to institute sustainable good governance.
