Abstract: The development of human resources in local public administration has a very important correlation with the objectives and principles of good governance. The efficient and effective implementation of local public policies, the provision of quality public services in relation to citizens' needs, the transparency and accountability of local public administrations, equity and inclusion, and active participation are just a few of the principles that depend on human resource development for good governance at the local level. The objective of this study involves an analysis of existing literature and legislation to identify the main concepts and areas impacting good governance through human resource development. The research methodology includes an extensive literature review in the field, employing bibliometric analysis. Additionally, we will use quantitative methods to analyse the fluctuation of the available human resources in local public administration over recent years, as well as the evolution and impact of professional training programmes at the level of roles within local public administration, distinctly focusing on the activities of civil servants. Predictive result indicators will demonstrate how important it is to utilise human resource development methods and practices for effective and sustainable good governance that responds to current needs and fosters trust in local public administration.
