Welcome to the World Bank's new blog on governance and anti-corruption (GAC). Governance for Development aims to provide a forum among World Bank Group staff and the wider development community engaged in the governance endeavor for debate, reflection and experience-sharing on the implications of GAC-mainstreaming for development work.
The Governance & Anticorruption Knowledge and Learning Portal is the primary destination for GAC-related knowledge-sharing and learning at the World Bank Group.
