The methodology for the Governance project was based on that of the Fragile States project, using baseline data and event monitoring. In addition, researchers employ questionnaire based surveys that solicit the input of country experts, thus allowing the juxtaposition of quantitative and qualitative assessment. The Governance and Democratic Processes country reports provide detailed analysis of governance related processes in a particular state. The indicators used to gather structural data are divided into six clusters: Rule of Law, Human Rights, Government Transparency and Accountability; Government and Market Efficiency; Democratic Participation; and Political Stability and Violence. Events monitoring information is collected using a variety of domestic and international sources. Where possible, such quantitative sources are complemented by in-country consultations with subject and country experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"recent-outreach\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent Outreach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Presentation at CIDA \u00ad Presentation of research methodology to Canada Corps, Democracy Council<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CIGI \u201906 \u2013 Conference on International Governance Innovation \u2013 presentation of research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation to CIDA Asia Branch \u00ad Presentation of governance research project, identification of case study countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation to CIDA Governance Core Group \u00ad Presentation of governance research project, identification of case study countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation to Americas Branch \u2013 Presentation of governance research project, identification of case study countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meeting with Swisspeace \u2013 presentation of research, discussion of potential collaboration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Democracy Processes for the Andean Region, Lima Peru<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small Developing States research, Malta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation of Handbook, IDRC, Ottawa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Country Indicators for Foreign Policy.
