Chandler
Institute of Governance
Supporting good governance and helping to build strong nations.
In 2019, the Chandler Institute of Governance (CIG) was launched to resource and build government capacity through its training programs, research initiatives, advisory work, and resources. As an international nonprofit, CIG focuses on enhancing civil service leaders’ capabilities to take up the mantle of public leadership, succeed as policymakers, and to serve their citizens better.
Operating at the Pinnacle of the Chandler Prosperity Model
The Chandler Foundation and CIG are sister organizations. And, as such we share the belief that national prosperity is deeply rooted in good governance, sound policies, and a world-class public service. Historically, trillions of dollars of aid and charity have gone to build strong community foundations, the base of the “Chandler Prosperity Model”. While, important, CIG places its emphasis on helping governments build trust and strengthen systems.
We believe in a world where citizens have a deep sense of trust in their governments and public institutions, and where nations are governed by principled, wise leaders supported by an effective civil service. Trust and effective governance serve as a strong foundation for national development and prosperity.
