Economic Governance Economic governance is a vital component of democracy. In the transition to open, participatory and accountable government South Africa has made impressive strides in reforming its public financial systems.  IDASA's Economic Governance Programme (EGP)aims to put the politics back into economics – i.e. to address the current democratic deficit in the way that decisions are made about economic policy, broadly defined as the allocation and distribution of scarce resources, and access to, and regulation of, markets.  IDASA's work focusses on Government Budget Processes; Economic Policy Making; Trade & Aid; and Non-State Actors (IFIs and CSR).
