Air Chief Marshal, Jayalath Weerakkody, High Commissioner of Sri Lanka in Islamabad inhis inaugural address said that Governance and Human Resource Development (HRD) are interlinked.Human resource development cannot be sustained without good governance. Governance cannot besound unless it sustains quality human resource development.

Successful governancemeans better delivery of health, education and other relevant services, stronger and more equitableeconomic growth, stability and security. She said that in South Asia, governance is a major agenda fordiscussion and discourse in the context of development and service delivery. Good governance isrealized as vital for improving the public service delivery, and responding to citizens' needs anddemands. Despite different programs, policies and reforms to streamline public administration,governance in the South Asian countries has failed to address adequately such issues as reducingpoverty, equality of access to public services and fairness, security and safety of citizens, democraticinstitution building, participation in the decision making, and implementation of policies. It is oftenhighlighted that the absence of good governance in the South Asian region is because of lack ofcapacity of civil servants, hierarchic decision making process, non-accountability of public servantsand politicians, non-transparency and opaque official procedures and, corruption.5
