About Us

Who are we

The Governance Consortium consists of governance professionals in the broadest sense with experience across the sectors of government, business, media and more.  We share a common belief that the current systems of governance too often fail and that there IS a better way.

Our approach is grounded in a set of core principles that we believe will build trust in government, enable communities to live in harmony and bring sustainable livelihoods.

Our Vision

To see citizens and communities empowered to share the responsibility for Governance and lead change in their communities.

Our Guiding Principle

To bring passion, creativity and insight as we partner with our clients to drive change
