Advising governing bodies

Counselling governments
Providing advisory services to governments

Description

Advising governing bodies involves providing expert analysis, recommendations, and actionable guidance to decision-making authorities to enhance policy effectiveness and governance. This strategy addresses gaps in knowledge, capacity, or perspective within governing institutions, helping them respond to complex challenges, avoid unintended consequences, and implement best practices. By facilitating informed decision-making, it remedies inefficiencies, mitigates risks, and supports the development of robust, evidence-based solutions to pressing societal, economic, or environmental problems.

Implementation

In the case of UNESCO advice is, for example, given to governments, institutions and regional groupings concerning their strategies for science and technology development in the light of their social implications.
