Inclusive Governance
We promote good governance in three key areas of change:
•a) empowering poor people to know and act on their rights
and represent their interests;
•b) influencing those in power, such as governments,
traditional leaders and the private sector, to be more
responsible, responsive and accountable; and
•c) brokering linkages and convening spaces which enable
effective and inclusive relations and negotiation between the
two.
