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.
