Governance is both a means and an end; both how and whether a program achieves its objectives are important. GRPPs also employ a diverse array of governance models associated with the history and culture of each program along a continuum from pure shareholder models (in which membership on the governing body is restricted to financial and other contributors) to more inclusive stakeholder models (in which membership also includes non-contributors). Therefore, this paper suggests that the performance of the governing bodies and management units in their functions should be measured against certain good governance principles such as legitimacy, efficiency, accountability, responsibility, transparency and fairness. The presentation will provide a framework, good practice guidelines, tools and examples for doing so, based on a survey of over 60 GRPP evaluations.#Partnership #Evaluation2009 #Global #QualitativeMethods #ResearchonEvaluation #evaluating #2009Conference #Bank #EvaluationUse #programs(GRPPs) #Word #Regional #governance #and #InternationalandCross-CulturalEval
