Meet Lucy: Do New Ideas in Governance Work in Practice?

26 April 2016 to 28 April 2016

Organized by ADB's Governance Thematic Group in cooperation with the OECD-DAC Network on Governance and the German International Cooperation (GIZ)'s Sector Network Governance Asia, this learning event on Meet Lucy: New Ideas in Governance – Do They Work in Practice? enabled participants to assess the practical relevance of alternative approaches to governance and institutional change summarized in OECD's recent Governance Practitioners' Notebook. The operational space to remain inquisitive and innovative when supporting governance reforms was the focus of discussions, as well as emerging good practices in the region. Over 60 representatives from developing member countries, development partners, civil society, and ADB attended. See photos.
