Consultancy executed by the African Governance Institute (IAG) and the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM).

The purpose of the present Support Study is to “assess the ‘Governance Incentive Tranche’ process (GITP) and to formulate recommendations to improve the Commission approach to supporting governance in ACP countries”  The Study seeks to carry out both a retrospective analysis (“what has been learned over the past five years with the GI?”) and a prospective analysis (“what next for EU approaches in support of governance?”).
