## Project design

### **Goals & aims**

> [The DAC Network on Governance (GovNet) brings together governance practitioners and experts to explore and promote more effective governance in developing countries.](https://www.oecd.org/dac/accountable-effective-institutions/about-govnet.htm)
>
> [A forum to exchange experiences and lessons, identify and disseminate what has worked where and why, and develop policy, analytical tools and operational approaches. GovNet has served as an incubator for cutting-edge processes such as the DAC work on fragile states, political economy analysis, accountability and democratic governance and work on anti-corruption. ](https://www.oecd.org/dac/accountable-effective-institutions/about-govnet.htm)

> [Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.](https://www.oecd.org/dac/accountable-effective-institutions/about-govnet.htm)

## Thematic focus

One of OECD's two focus areas is: Exploring better and different ways for development assistance providers to do their work.

While not focusing directly on media development the OECD's work overlaps with news media in the following areas related to governance and regulation that will on occasion include media and the digital economy:

* <https://www.oecd.org/competition/>&#x20;
* <https://www.oecd.org/corporate/>&#x20;
* <https://www.oecd.org/digital/ieconomy/>
* Sustainable development (which relates to SDG 16)
