The Governance Team

Our Governance team works in some of the world’s most complex and fragile environments.

Our portfolio of governance programmes covers a range of geographies and thematic areas such as public sector reform in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), reducing gender-based violence in Malawi, strengthening community security and resilience in Kenya and governance and climate change related reforms in North Africa and the Western Balkans.
