Abstract
This report is part of an effort by the IDRC to strengthen the contribution of research support to democratic governance and voice and accountability in high-risk contexts. A key challenge in these contexts is democratic governance: the open, fair, and inclusive ways in which societies cope with challenges and competing interests. The evidence is overwhelming that democratic governance — including elections, methods to foster participation in shaping public policies, and ways of holding governments to account — is crucial for human and economic development. The functions of democratic governance are also essential for international aid to be effective.
