| What is “governance”? |
Waa maxay "maaamul"? |
| The term governance often gives rise to confusion because it is (erroneously) assumed that it must refer solely to acts or duties of the government. |
Ereyga maamulku badanaa wuxuu keenaa jahwareer sababtoo ah waxaa (si khaldan) loo qaataa inay tahay inay tixraacdo oo keliya falalka ama waajibaadka dawladda. |
| Of course, governments do play an important role in many kinds of governance. |
Dabcan, dawladuhu waxay door muhiim ah ka ciyaaraan noocyo badan oo maamul ah. |
| However, in fact, the concept is far broader, and extends beyond merely the State. |
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dhab ahaantii, fikraddu aad bay u ballaaran tahay, waxayna ka baxsan tahay oo keliya Dowladda. |
| For example, we have seen increasing reference recently to the notion of “corporate governance”, a process that involves oversight both by the State and by a host of non-State bodies, including corporations themselves. |
Tusaale ahaan, waxaan dhawaan aragnay tixraac sii kordhaya oo ku saabsan fikradda "maamulka shirkadaha", oo ah geeddi-socod ku lug leh kormeerka Dowladda iyo hay'ado badan oo aan dowli ahayn, oo ay ku jiraan shirkadaha laftooda. |
| Don McLean points out that the word governance derives from the Latin word “gubernare”, which refers to the action of steering a ship. |
Don McLean wuxuu tilmaamayaa in ereyga maamulku uu ka soo jeedo ereyga Laatiinka ah ee "gubernare", kaas oo tilmaamaya ficilka hagitaanka markab. |
| This etymology suggests a broader definition for governance. |
Asalkani wuxuu soo jeedinayaa qeexitaan ballaaran oo ku saabsan maamulka |
| One important implication of this broader view is that governance includes multiple tools and mechanisms. |
Mid ka mid ah waxyaabaha muhiimka ah ee aragtidan ballaaran laga dheehan karo ayaa ah in maamulku uu ka kooban yahay qalab iyo farsamooyin badan. |
| Traditional law and policy are certainly among those mechanisms. |
Sharciga iyo siyaasadda dhaqameedku hubaal waxay ka mid yihiin hababkaas. |
| However, as we shall see throughout this primer, governance can take place through many other channels. |
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, sida aan ku arki doono bilowgan, maamulku wuxuu ka dhici karaa waddooyin kale oo badan. |
| Technology, social norms, decision-making procedures, and institutional design: all of these are as equally important in governance as law or policy. |
Tiknoolajiyadda, caadooyinka bulshada, hababka go'aan qaadashada, iyo naqshadeynta hay'adaha: dhammaantood waxay si siman muhiim ugu yihiin maamulka sida sharciga ama siyaasadda. |
