Better governance helps in the fight against poverty and improves living standards.

"Research by many scholars, including the WGI authors, shows that improved governance strengthens development, and not the other way around. When governance is improved by one standard deviation, infant mortality declines by two-thirds and incomes rise about three-fold in the long run".

The WB report on governance that provides the above quote uses the following classification variables:
  • Voice and Accountability
  • Political Stability and Absence of Violence
  • Government Effectiveness
  • Regulatory Quality
  • Rule of Law
  • Control of Corruption
Are there similar variables on which to determine water governance? Offers, anyone?
