A roundtable discussion with
Nathaniel Heller, Co-founder of Global Integrity, and,
Bradley Parks, Development Policy Officer, Millennium Challenge Corporation
Capturing on-the-ground experience, Global Integrity exposes democratic deficit by assessing the existence and effectiveness of key governance institutions that are meant to protect and promote the public interest. Focusing on exploring and reporting on the implementation gap between what is promised in law (de jure) and what is delivered in practice (de facto), Global Integrity provides information that serves as a roadmap for engaged citizens, a reform checklist for policymakers, and a guide to the business climate for investors.
Join us as Nathaniel Heller provides an overview of the Global Integrity approach to measuring the quality of governance institutions and presents findings from the most recent Global Integrity Index, which rates more than 40 countries. Bradley Parks will also talk about the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s (MCC’s) use of such indicators in its evaluation of countries and specific programs to improve democratic governance.
As a senior associate and James R. Soles fellow at the Center for Public Integrity from 1999-2002, Nathaniel Heller, along with Chuck Lewis and Marianne Camerer, first developed the Integrity Indicators and conceptual model for what is now Global Integrity. Bradley Parks is responsible for gathering, processing, managing, analyzing, and reporting the data used to evaluate the policy performance of Millennium Challenge Account-candidate countries, as well as administering MCC’s annual country selection process. He also works with MCC’s Threshold Program and has helped design anti-corruption programs in Ukraine, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
