The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the opportunities and difficulties of good governance in the Burayu sub city using a few carefully chosen sectors. For the study, five public sectors were deliberately selected. The study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and information was gathered from sector leaders, staff members of public institutions, the committee of community associations, and focus group discussions in addition to information gleaned from sector leaders' interviews. The descriptive analysis made exposed that institutions are on the way striving to achieve good governance practically in their institutions and challenges as well as the opinion of interview and FGD participants was used. Based on the analysis conducted using eight core elements of good governance namely accountability, transparency, equity and equality, effectiveness and efficiency, participation, consensus orientation, responsiveness and rule of law and different successes and failures were observed. The full engagement of society, the need for workshops, seminars, and trainings on good governance, the implementation of institutional capacity building, the formulation of anti-corruption policies, and the use of robust auditing procedures at the woreda level are all necessary. Based on the study's findings, the researcher makes the following recommendations for the steps that should be taken to address the obstacles to good governance: the public sectors should offer a variety of trainings to officials, staff, and the community in order to address the main issues with good governance that are related to the attitudes of the public sector's service providers. However, politics and public service should be kept apart in the public sectors.
