Governance is a systematic attempt in a process to achieve organizational goals, through management principles that include planning, implementation, control, and evaluation functions. Thus governance has the main objective, to implement benefits, reduce the occurrence of risks, and optimize the resources owned.

Good LPPM governance and internal management require a clear division of roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders. It also refers to the processes and structures implemented to ensure that the organization is well managed. It requires a willingness to adjust strategies and processes as needed to ensure the long-term success of the institution.
