<strong>Equitable</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>of</strong> Resources,<br />
Governance <strong>and</strong> <strong>Reform</strong>: Introducing<br />
IDG-Net<br />
Kathleen Lauder<br />
Introduction<br />
This paper defines ‘enhancing equitable<br />
allocation <strong>of</strong> resources’ <strong>and</strong><br />
assesses the extent to which it has<br />
been realized both within <strong>and</strong> across countries.<br />
The paper then defines ‘governance’, its actors<br />
<strong>and</strong> principles. It argues that equitable<br />
allocation <strong>of</strong> resources is fundamentally<br />
linked to good governance. The paper then<br />
examines how ‘good governance’ <strong>and</strong> by<br />
association ‘equitable allocation <strong>of</strong> resources’<br />
can be enhanced. It looks at approaches to<br />
enhancing the various actors involved in<br />
good governance <strong>and</strong> the relationships<br />
among those actors. The paper argues that a<br />
compelling approach to strengthening<br />
governance is through partnerships <strong>and</strong><br />
networks. The paper concludes by sharing<br />
information on a new network called<br />
Institutions <strong>of</strong> Democratic Governance<br />
Network (IDG-Net). With support from the<br />
