Of particular interest to governance practitioners is the work in the following research areas:

Governance/Democracy: CDG work on the issue focuses on how rich-country policies and practices strengthen - or inadvertently undermine- developing country institutions. Examples include aid, trade, and anti-corruption efforts.

One particular initiative of interest is: Oil-to Cash: Fighting the Resource Curse through Cash Transfers. The initiative explores a policy option - direct distribution of resource revenues - to encourage a “social contract in resource-rich countries.
