The program utilizes three main mechanisms for program implementation to mobilize, develop or enhance the resources needed to meet government / organizational priorities: partnership building / enhancement, technical assistance and knowledge sharing. An estimated 1,215 women and men from 21 strategic institutions from nine developing countries (Ghana, Mali, Indonesia, Tanzania, Vietnam, Uganda, Malawi, Namibia, and the Philippines) and three regions (Asia, Africa, and the Americas and Caribbean) are direct beneficiaries. The Democratic Governance Program seeks to enhance the well-being of citizens in developing countries and countries in transition by enhancing individual and institutional capacity of selected government ministries, departments, public sector agencies and associations, and training institutes. This includes support to civil society organizations through technical assistance, partnership and knowledge sharing with Canadian and international partners. The ultimate goal of the Democratic Governance Program is to improve the quality of public policies, programs and services in partners countries.
