Inclusive and effective governance is essential for the achievement of sustainable human development. It is particularly important for countries emerging from crisis and/or undergoing transition towards new political settlements.

The Oslo Governance Centre is engaged in researching on the governance challenges in countries in transition to inform policy options that put inclusive and effective governance at the heart of development programming and policies. It is also committed to a further understanding on how to open up the space for broader engagement in shaping more inclusive, just and peaceful societies.
