Democracy & Governance
Weak democratic institutions and behaviors and poor governance undermine economic growth and fuel political and social instability. AECOM International Development's approach to fostering democracy aims at strengthening emerging democratic institutions, improving government responsiveness, transparency, and accountability at all levels, and increasing civic awareness and participation in governance. AECOM International Development's work focuses on legal and policy reform, anticorruption measures, reform of public administration, civil society strengthening, and implementation of social programs to support vulnerable and excluded populations.
