Introduction

Good governance encourages citizen participation, upholds the rule of law, and combats corruption. It also ensures stability, transparency, and the efficiency of public institutions.

Luxembourg Cooperation has made governance a key priority to promote equitable growth and social justice. Effective governance is essential for achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities).

In its partner countries, LuxDev supports inclusive governance by improving the availability and equitable access to high-quality public services that meet the needs and aspirations of communities.

Our activities

To support inclusive governance and ensure quality public services for the most disadvantaged populations, LuxDev implements actions focused on:

  • strengthening institutional capacities;
  • improving public management, transparency, and accountability;
  • encouraging citizen participation.

Designed and implemented in collaboration with governments, public institutions, and civil society in our partner countries, these initiatives include training local officials and civil society organisations, supporting decentralisation efforts, and promoting good governance at all levels. 

Our goal is to empower vulnerable populations and foster an inclusive environment based on human rights.

The main beneficiaries of these initiatives—who are also active participants—include public institutions, civil servants, civil society, and local communities, particularly women and young people. By supporting these groups, we help improve the efficiency of public services and strengthen citizens’ trust in their institutions.

To promote inclusive governance, we adopt an integrated and participatory approach, using innovative methodologies to develop locally adapted solutions and ensure the long-term impact of our actions. 

In general, governance is also a cross-cutting priority in all of LuxDev’s interventions, reinforcing its role as a foundation for sustainable development.
