Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development takes place in an environment of good governance. This chapter provides an estimate of good governance index using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method using data from Philippine provinces. We illustrate how DEA can be used to provide insights on how provinces can improve on various indicators of governance. Aside from identifying peers, DEA is also able to estimate targets, which can serve as a guide for central governments in holding provinces accountable. This chapter shows that DEA is not used only for efficiency measurement but also applied to other applications in benchmarking and index generation, including non-profit sectors such as public agencies.
