|
Effective governance systems are essential for managing aid flows, ensuring the delivery of basic public services, generating trade and attracting private investment. Politically, effective governance often translates into greater transparency, accountability and democratic consolidation. CGD recognizes that strong institutions that set the context for effective governance are key to generating development, and our research in this area focuses on how rich world policies can be better targeted towards strengthening governance systems in developing countries, through avenues of intervention such as foreign aid and trade policy.
