What kind of projects does the Global Programme support?
Proposals are invited from UNDP Country Offices for support to projects that focus on strengthening national capacities across four main activity areas (please see a detailed explanation of the activity areas on page 6).
- Mapping existing governance indicators
- Developing governance assessment frameworks
- Data collection
- Governance databases
- Use of governance evidence for policy-making
In addition, it is expected that projects will incorporate gender and poverty sensitivity in its approach. Poverty and gender sensitive governance assessments are a priority concern for UNDP. Data disaggregation is just one means of highlighting the situation of special groups in governance assessments. The assessment itself can also be made poverty and gender sensitive through the integration of participatory techniques including surveys and focus groups that provide an opportunity for the poor or for women to have a voice on issues of concern.
