Economic and Social Governance Program
Economic and Social Governance is one of the four new thematic pillars that will guide the work of the Foundation over the next 5 years. Within this pillar, the Foundation will focus on building capacities for domestic resource mobilization, public finance management and the formulation and implementation of purpose-driven economic policies and regulatory reforms. In addition, the new Strategic Plan has identified four key cross-cutting issues: women and youth, digitalization, and data talent.
