Good Governance Working Group
Governance is about the respect for, and application of, the rule of law, without which the institutions of government and the fair distribution of a nation’s resources cannot function - at any level and with regards to any resource (human, natural, financial).
The Common Earth Governance Working Group has already delivered to the Commonwealth Secretariat a detailed toolkit for all Commonwealth nations to use at governmental and agency levels in-country to assist in the assessment of bids and contracts for the nations fair exploitation of its natural resources from the perspectives of anti-corruption, transparency, ESG and related best practice benchmarks.
It has also joined forces with the Secretariat to design legal and governance-related responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas of corporate law and regulatory legislation.
