    Proposal of indicators to measure and evaluate governance
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-07) Aguirre-Sala, Jorge Francisco; Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León-México
    The objective of this article is to propose indicators and an index to measure and evaluate the quality of governance. To this end, it answers the research questions: what is governance? How does it differ from governability and open government? , what should be measured by governance and how should it be measured? The research design proposes a literature review to distinguish between governability, open government and governance and establish what and how governance is measured. The methodology establishes the conditions of the indicators (declarations of their purpose, description, relevance, formula (s), unit of measurement, sources, periodicity and complementary information of a qualitative nature) and indexes from the public governance approach. The main finding consists of the formulas of the indicators and their aggregation in a governance index, based on their characterization and distinction with governability. The originality and value of this contribution endows the agencies, projects and social and political agents involved in the definition and execution of public policies with an evaluation instrument replicable in any democracy. The social implications of having governance indicators impact on the design of government plans and programs with a view to increasing democratic quality.
