Many people, including policy makers, struggle with how to define,  ‘frame’ and measure governance. Our Collaborative aims to be a place where people collaborate to advance the systems governance frameworks and measurement agenda. 

Our main goal is to arrive at frameworks which - very practically - help to assess current governance contexts at national and sub-national level. This is not an isolated exercise. Frameworks should support clear actions that will lead to improvement. 

We aim to mobilize governance experts, policy makers and implementers through virtual and face-to-face interactions, and co-produce frameworks and ways of measuring (both quantitative and qualitative) that matter in practice. We will disseminate results of this collaboration through publications and other media.

There are different ways in which you can already engage:

• There are concrete projects on which people team up and collaborate. See our 'Collaborations' below and join in.
• Are you a scholar or practitioner working on governance frameworks? 
  Leave us your thoughts and give us your feedback on how governance frameworks contribute to actionable governance. Comment below. 
• Contribute a story to our ‘Voices’ section of the website where you can share experiences. See here for some examples.
• By the end of March 2018, the Collaborative will host a Bellagio conference in Italy on Governance Frameworks, Missing Links. The lead-up to this Bellagio meeting involves interested parties from around the world who feel we need to improve on ‘framing governance’.  Are you curious, or interested in becoming part of this journey?  Let us know. Contact us here.
• The Collaborative, together with other parties, is hosting a series of webinars on governance frameworks. See here for the webinars that already took place. If you have ideas for co-hosting such a webinar, let us know.
• We will aim to produce a Collective photo essay and will let you know how to contribute to this soon.
