These Guiding Principles were developed to respond to many of the issues and concerns raised in the Survey of Donor Approaches to Governance Assessment, in order to improve donor impact, usage and harmonisation of governance assessment. They are intended to provide practical advice to governance specialists in donor agencies working on assessments and to donor agency staff working in other sectors who encounter the realities of governance in their work every day. A diverse range of partner country stakeholders involved in assessing governance may also find these principles of value.

Governance, Taxation and Accountability: Issues and Practices provides an overview of the different streams of evidence linking tax policy and governance performance. Not only does it offer insights for the donor community, it explains the need to develop a broad tax base as a means of enhancing the bargaining process between citizens and governments. Finally, it argues that the mobilisation of citizens around taxation issues may be a good avenue to promote further engagement in other public policy matters.
