About us
The Communication for Governance and Accountability Program (CommGAP) is based on two core premises: that a democratic public sphere is essential to securing and sustaining good governance and accountability, and that communication approaches and techniques are fundamental to the effectiveness of efforts to improve governance and direct accountability.
Since the official launch of CommGAP in September 2007 we have received enthusiastic endorsements of the Program’s goals and objectives from around the world. We want to maintain this momentum and support the development of a global community of practice with members who are united in their commitment to improve governance and accountability in developing countries.
We hope this platform will be a useful tool for all of us to share ideas, debate, advocate, and build relationships that will contribute to more effective development policy and practice.
