Probity in Governance also elucidates that apart from the traditional civil
service values of e ciency, integrity, accountability and patriotism, it is
essential for civil o cers to instruct and adopt ethical and moral values
including probity in public life, respect for human rights and compassion
for the downtrodden and commitment to their welfare.

Smooth civil service assists to foster good policy making, e ective service
delivery, accountability and responsibility in utilizing public resources
which are the features of good governance. Good Governance is being used
as an all-inclusive framework not only for administrative and civil service
improvement, but as a link between Civil Service Reform and an all-
embracing framework for making policy decisions e ective within viable
systems of accountability and citizen participation. Governance reform is
basically the improvement of legal and policy frameworks to develop good
decision making environment; participatory systems for elements of civil
society to become actively involved in policy and programme formulation
and their implementation; and an e ective and transparent system and
process for control and accountability in government activities.
