In lay men’s language a Best Practice is the improvement in efficiency of management systems for the delivery of basic services. These are the examples of actions which could serve as useful models from which others could learn and adopt to their own situations. A common man treats a practice best which provides utmost comfort in his day to day life.
The UN defines that Best Practices are outstanding contributions for improving the living environment. They are defined and considered by the International Committee at large as successful initiatives which
- Have a demonstrable and tangible impact on improving people’s quality of life;
- Are the result of effective partnerships between the public, private and civic sectors of society;
- Are socially, culturally, economically and environmentally sustainable.
Best Practices are promoted and used by the United Nations and the international community as a means of
- Improving public policy based on what works;
- Raising awareness of decision-makers at all levels and of the public of potential solutions to common social, economic and environmental problems.
- Sharing and transferring knowledge, expertise and experience through networking and peer-to-peer learning.
