 Governance
The radical changes
in the political, administrative & fiscal landscape
throughout the world have posed various challenges
to the development processes. Accordingly, the
international development assistance is also
adhering to the measures aimed at investment led
growth that can support national development
priorities besides addressing the environment,
social & poverty related challenges. Instruments
like Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) &
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are being
promoted to rectify certain imbalances amongst the
political priorities. In case of Pakistan,
Governance Reforms including the devolution of power
and responsibilities to accountable local
governments for promoting good governance, effective
delivery of services and transparent decision making
is being valued as a step forward to achieve the
above goals. In view of these realities,
organizations promoting the agenda of environment &
sustainable development have to go through a process
of self-analysis so as to effectively place
themselves in the new paradigm.
Taking
cognizance of the situation, LEAD Pakistan has
developed its Governance program . The program has
the following objectives:
To identify capacity gaps in maximizing the
dividends of on-going reforms & instruments aimed at
improving service delivery;
To undertake & promote policy research &
stakeholders’ dialogues to highlight and facilitate
replication of best practices in efficient &
transparent decision making for sustainable
development;
/
To promote strategic alliances & partnerships for
developing synergies, experience sharing & knowledge
management; and
To develop
customized training and skill development packages
for key players involved with governance issues &
initiatives.
