World Bank created "demand for good governance" (DFGG) social network

The World Bank has set up a social network to engage people on good governance.

"Worldwide there is increasing recognition that citizen involvement is critical for enhancing democratic governance, improving service delivery, and fostering empowerment. Practitioners from across development sectors and organizations have a wealth of experience supporting the "demand for good governance" (DFGG).

To harness this rich experience and increase opportunities for exchanging knowledge, innovations and good practices among the diverse actors engaged in this work, the Social Development Department of the World Bank has launched the DFGG Peer Learning Network."
