Governance encompasses structures, processes, norms, values, and rules ensuring accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity, inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation in TVET systems. It represents the institutional environment where stakeholders interact to manage public affairs transparently and inclusively, extending beyond formal government organs to include cultural dimensions influencing citizen and industry engagement. Effective governance coordinates qualification frameworks, funding mechanisms, quality assurance, and labor market alignment through multi-stakeholder platforms balancing diverse interests while advancing national skills priorities.
