Recent Mandates in 2012
ECOSOC Resolution E/RES/2012/28
Invites the Committee to study the effect of specific
practices in responsive and inclusive public governance on
development, bearing in mind the need to promote high
standards of public sector integrity, transparency,
accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, at the national
and local levels, promote equal access to public services
and provide opportunities for all people to participate in the
conduct of public affairs.

Recent Mandates in 2012
GA Resolution A/RES/67/195
General Assembly acknowledges the positive trends in
global information and communications technologies (ICTs)
and new services and applications, including e-government
It also reiterates the important role of Governments in the
design of their national public policies and in the provision
of public services to national needs and priorities through
effective use of ICTs
It also recognized the importance of Internet Governance
Forum
It reaffirmed that to achieve sustainable development
goals, institutions at all levels need to be effective,
transparent, accountable and democratic
The effective governance at the local, subnational, national,
regional and global levels, representing the voice and
interest of all is critical for advancing sustainable
development and that the strengthening and reform of the
same should not be an end in itself, but a means to achieve
sustainable development.
