Which of the following is NOT one of the eight characteristics of good governance as defined by UNDP?
- Participation
- Transparency
- Centralization
- Accountability
Answer: Centralization
UNDP's eight characteristics of good governance: (1) Participation, (2) Rule of law, (3) Transparency, (4) Responsiveness, (5) Consensus orientation, (6) Equity and inclusiveness, (7) Effectiveness and efficiency, (8) Accountability. Centralization is contrary to good governance principles which emphasize decentralization, participation, and subsidiarity. Indian governance reforms (e.g., 73rd/74th Amendments, RTI, Citizen's Charter) align with these principles.
