The Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) Center for Excellence within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) engaged in a series of initiatives to gather information on Agency efforts to integrate DRG principles and approaches into strategy development, project design, and program implementation. RTI International assisted the DRG Center in the promotion of cross-sectoral programming through targeted research as to what constitutes and supports more DRG integration, identifying ways to encourage more collaborative design and activity, and creating an evidence-base documenting the effects of DRG integration. To accomplish the project goal, RTI researchers helped to conduct and write six case study reports of DRG integration at USAID Missions in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Indonesia, Malawi, Guatemala, and Nepal. RTI staff provided technical expertise to organize a series of roundtable discussions in collaboration with USAID on Civil Society Engagement and Capacity Development 2.0, Public Financial Management, Strengthening Local Governance and Accountability Roundtable, and Policy Reform. Additionally, RTI staff took the lead in writing a synthesis report summarizing the results of the six case studies.
