 Definition of “governance”  The exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels  Governance reforms will not deliver sustainable results if they are not mindful of children  Normative imperative  Instrumental argument  Empirical evidence

 Promoting good governance is an integral part of development programming for many development partners  Several adopted new strategies in the past few years  Rationale:  Governance is at the heart of promoting human rights, democracy and RoL  Required for sustainable development  Critical for aid effectiveness

Child rights-sensitive governance assessment:  Offers a strategic opportunity to feature child rights concerns prominently and concretely in governance- related interventions and funding support. 2. Identify stakeholders:  Key actors that are instrumental in helping governments meet their goals under the CRC. 3. Identify entry points:  Requires a comprehensive set of entry interlocking interventions

 All development partners engage in governance assessments  Challenges:  “Governance” - an umbrella concept  Challenge agreeing on operational indicators and establishing clear causal links  Plethora of governance assessment tools currently used
