Governance and Institutional Development involves building and strengthening organs of state to operate separately in accordance with the doctrine of separation of powers but also serving as checks and balances on each other, and complementing each other in the process of social, economic and environmental development. 

Effective and efficient institutions are the mortar that holds together the bricks of development, without which development becomes costly, elusive and painfully slow.
