Methodology

Ensuring sustainable results within sector-specific aid is a challenging task. Often the issue is not a lack
of good ideas and funding, but political constraints and institutional issues in and beyond the sector,
or what are broadly termed ‘governance’ issues. Sector programmes sometimes face challenges
because the governance environment is not conducive to them. This document seeks to offer guidance to sector specialists (with particular reference for those working on EU aid programmes) on how to address governance in sector operations in a more systematic and comprehensive way.

The main sections of the report are detailed as follows:

• Chapter 1 sets the scene for dealing with governance in sectors, explaining why governance is crucial for sustainable sector development
  
  
• Chapter 2 tries to capture experience so far in dealing with governance at sector level Chapter 3 sets out where to start and what to aim for in order to address governance better
  
  
• Chapter 4 then examines the ways and means to organize the process of analyzing governance at sector level and offers a basic model, as wellas a set of practical steps to carry out such an analysis
  
  
• Chapter 5 focuses on how to cross the bridge from analysis to action. It proposes a set of operational guidelines and possible actions to support govern ance improvements in the various sectors.
