An enhanced focus on inclusive economic growth has recently led to a paradigm shift in framing development policies. Inclusive human development cannot be achieved if principles of participation and equity are disregarded. The current study investigates the implications of globalization and governance from the perspective of inclusiveness by using IHDI (Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index) for a set of Asian countries from 2010 to 2018. The Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) technique is used to assess this relation, and the results show that governance and globalization aid in making human development more inclusive. Population growth has a negative relation with inclusive human development, and higher population growth in Asia puts pressure on the already fragile institutions. The study also entails reducing corrupt practices, ensuring accountability, and transparency in political and regulatory processes is vital for broad-based human development. Higher liberalization, higher levels of social globalization, and effective governance can also be helpful in realizing the goal of more inclusive human development in Asia.

The study aims at examining governance in the promotion of human development in Gulu District with particular reference to Gulu Municipality. The research was conducted using 387 participants in Gulu Municipality and adopted quantitative design with random stratified sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, regression and descriptive statistics. The study indicated that 200 (51.7%) were male and 187 (48.3%) were female. The study finds that greater levels of accountability, participation and absence of corruption are associated with greater levels of human development. Correlation analysis results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between accountability and human development (r = 0.351, p = 0.000). There is a significant positive relationship between government efficiency, participation and control of corruption and human development (r = 0.317, p = 0.000; r = 0.378, p = 0.000; and r = 0.416, p = 0.000) respectively. The relationship between bribery and human development is very low and insignificant. Overall, there is a significant positive relationship between good governance and human development (r = 0.477, p = 0.000). The regression analysis shows that good governance explains 24.4% of the variations in human development (Adjusted R 2 = 0.244, Sig. F change = 0.000). The study findings indicate that the best predictors of human development were accountability, participation and control of corruption. The worst predictor was government efficiency. The study concludes that bribery is neither associated with human development nor any attributes of good governance.
