Welcome to Our Site

Our Site aims to facilitate the flow of information, among researchers, policy makers and practitioners, on the concept of governance. It presents some of the research and proposed action plans for achieving good and efficient governance with a special emphasis on economic governance. The site mainly focuses on Engendering Economic governance through the incorporation of the household-based care economy into an integrated analysis of the total economy. The site acts as a portal providing links to recent publications, articles as well as related conferences and web sites.
