Title
UNDP-POGAR: Programme on Governance in the Arab Region
Description
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Regional Bureau for Arab States (RBAS) launched the Programme on Governance in the Arab Region (POGAR) in early 2000. Recognizing the strong link between good governance and sustainable human development, POGAR aims to assist government actors, civil society, and the private sector to improve governance processes in the Arab states, always with a view to achieving sustainability. POGAR assists in a governance-augmentation process that is owned and managed by the countries themselves by offering an array of options, rather than blanket prescriptions, and working in partnership with actors in the region to identify needs and solutions.
POGAR's program activities relate to Rule of Law, Participation, and Transparency and Accountability. These activities include rendering policy advice, engaging in institutional capacity building, and testing policy options through pilot projects. Since its inception, POGAR has launched projects to promote dialog about judicial reform; build the capacities of parliaments, particularly in the area of information-management and research capabilities; and educate governance actors about methods for combating corruption.
The website developers focused on eight substantive themes of governance that apply the three principles of participation, rule of law, transparency and accountability. While each theme involves all three principles of good governance, each theme is ordered under its most relevant principle.
