This report introduces the basic features of the World Governance Assessment (WGA) and highlights interesting findings of the second round that was conducted in ten southern countries in 2006. It presents an overview of the methodology and the special Study Management System, a capacity-building component that is an important part of what WGA offers. The report ends by showing the niche that the WGA occupies in comparison with other governance approaches and by offering suggestions about how to proceed from here, indicating the value of conducting a regionally based third round, in sub-Saharan Africa, for instance.
