Council of Europe tools on Good Governance
The Centre of Expertise for Good Governance is the Council of Europe body designing and implementing cooperation projects and tools to strengthen governance in member states, supporting central, regional and local authorities with legislative reform and capacity-buiding activities.
The development and promotion of innovative capacity-building tools is among its priorities. These tools take inspiration from the best of European practice and enable the reinforcement and evaluation of local authorities’ capacities in a variety of areas. The tools are regularly revised and updated.
All interested bodies are encouraged to use the tools provided that the copyright is respected, the Centre is informed and experts certified by the Centre are used. The Centre can provide assistance in the tools’ adaptation and implementation and the training of national experts.
