The publication aims to deepen understanding of the policy framework set out in the 2006 White Paper by:

  • Illustrating why we believe governance matters and how we support countries to improve their governance.
  • Setting out extensive evidence of the impact of better governance on the lives of poor people.
  • Tackling a number of current governance issues such as the relationship between governance and growth, governance and democracy, and how we put into practice an increased emphasis on human rights.
  • Putting our work on separate aspects of governance (such as supporting parliaments) in the broader context of improving governance across a wide range of systems at the local, national and international level.
