| The subject of governance is often analysed and rarely used in a consistent way. It is frequently a euphemism for overcoming corruption or supporting better skills in basic decision-making. People living and working in the Indigenous sector in Australia are familiar with cycles of government-sponsored efforts to improve community-level governance through training, better information and improved accountabilities.

IDEAL has the modest ambition of contributing to better practice in the field of governance. In the context of development, for us governance has three components:
- Sound and strategic decision-making on the use of resources to achieve chosen development goals
- Appropriate accountability, transparency and democracy relating to those decisions
- Systems and processes that enable positive change to occur.
In this sense, effective governance impacts on a wide range of challenges including improving services, economic development and environmental decision-making.
