About us

 

The ability to deliver essential public services and government functions is a prerequisite for well-functioning, legitimate states. It is also a necessity if states are to meet the most basic needs of their citizens while maintaining security and stability, bringing in foreign direct investment, pursuing poverty-reduction objectives and strengthening governance.

 

In order to take a more strategic approach to this key development challenge, several members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, together with the United Nations Development Programme and a group of middle-income countries, launched the Partnership for Democratic Governance (PDG) in 2007. It is housed by the OECD and supported by UNDP.
