Governance assessments, domestic accountability and agency reform

FRIDE (C/ Goya 5-7, Pasaje 2ª) Madrid, Spain 06/07/2009


Description

The focus on context-specific governance assessments that are both aligned and rigorous poses an immense challenge for day-to-day practice in aid agencies. Not only do new instruments that capture the political economy and engage with the domestic debate have to be designed. Even more challenging is how to ensure the uptake of their findings in working practices and make the necessary institutional changes (recruitment, incentives, postings and devolution of decision making) to ensure this.

This seminar aimed to bring together a range of European practitioners, planners and scholars to share recent experiences about developing instruments and making them useful both within agencies and within the domestic public sphere. Particular attention was given to political economy analyses.
