Together, towards Good Governance in Africa
"Governance matters: institutions, rules and political processes play a major role in determining whether economies grow, whether children go to school, and whether development goes forward. The challenge of development is, therefore, not only social, economic and technological: it is also political and institutional."

The Africa Governance Forum (AGF) is a flagship governance programme of UNDP in Africa. It was established in 1997 in partnership with UNECA within the framework of UNSIA with four specific objectives:
1. Strengthen development cooperation and partnerships among African governments, civil society organizations and Africa's development partners for improved governance
2. Increase awareness and facilitate the exchange of information, experiences and best practices among African governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, development partners and other stakeholders on good governance
3. Encourage the development of concrete programs of action to promote good governance related issues and facilitate the mobilization of resources for these programs at the national level
4. Create an environment that is supportive of resource mobilization for follow-up governance related activities in Africa [ READ MORE ]
