From our years of experience working in complex and challenging geographies around the globe, we know that effective governance and accountable institutions are critical to alleviating poverty and achieving sustainable results in all sectors.

We partner with governments, civil society organisations (CSOs), the independent media, and local communities to strengthen democratic governance systems. We help prevent crime and violence by improving government capacity at the federal, state, and municipal levels. And we ensure governance participation of women, people with disabilities, and youth.

Our programs pursue a higher standard of transparency and accountability of leaders and institutions, and they protect and promote universal human rights.
