UNDP Oslo Governance Centre ran the Governance Indicators Project from 2004 until 2007. Currently it is running the Global Programme on Capacity Development for Democratic Governance Assessments and Measurements which is a continuation of the work that formed part of the Governance Indicators Project. Through this UNDP seeks to assist developing countries produce disaggregated and non-ranking governance indicators to enable national stakeholders to better monitor performance in democratic governance reforms. The aim of the Programme, co-ordinated by the Oslo Governance Centre, is to develop the capacities of government, the national statistics office and civil society in the collection, maintenance and analysis of governance related data and to assist the development of an inclusive and consultative framework for the systematic assessment and monitoring of democratic governance goals and targets expressed in national development plans.
