Welcome to the Governance Village Encyclopedia.
This resource provides a way for those working, studying or advising on issues of governance related to international development from a Canadian perspective. The Governance Village Encyclopedia provides users with an interactive and informative tool that allows users to discover and define various definitions of governance and international development terminology. Users can add their own insight, definitions and comments on a regular basis to this growing resource. Although it is difficult to define terms of such complexity, we hope that this discourse will assist in fostering an emerging consensus on numerous issues of governance and international development.
