Abstract

This programme brief describes the three gaps that CommGAP was established to address. These gaps undermine the effectiveness and sustainability of governance reform efforts: a structural gap, a process gap, and a capacity gap.

CommGAP's approach is outlined. It divides its work into three interrelated and mutually reinforcing program areas, each with specific objectives:

  • Research and Advocacy
  • Training and Capacity Building
  • Support to Development Projects and Programs

CommGAP's operational activities are focused on Africa and Asia, and exclusively on the areas of governance and accountability, such as accountability mechanisms; participatory local governance; postconflict environments and fragile states; and anti‐corruption.
