Development Gateway Governance

Development Gateway - Governance

The site focuses on governance issues. It seeks to complement existing resources and provide a platform for discussion on governance issues. As such, the Development Gateway actively encourages submissions on topics.

The key issues of the website are:

  • anti-money laundering
  • corporate social responsibility
  • corruption
  • data on governance
  • democracy
  • governance and aid effectiveness
  • governance and legal/judicial reform
  • governance and post-conflict nation-building
  • local governance
  • media and freedom of the press
  • public sector reform.

It posts information that is sent in (and vetted first). Although not specialised in the water sector, its identification and abstracts of new publications in the general field of governance from around the world are particularly useful. There is an emphasis on transition countries and the former eastern block.

PHILIPPINES: A boy floats on a raft next to a pile of debris in a pond in Barangay Apelo, a slum area in Pasay City near Manila, the capital. He is collecting plastic to sell. Some 6,000 people live along the stagnant pond.
