Overview
Global Partners Governance (GPG) was founded and is led by Greg Power.[5]
GPG's former website (gpgovernance.net) now presents the organisation as Mētis. It says its approach was "developed over two decades, working with hundreds of politicians in more than sixty countries", including Iraq, the Balkans, Nepal, Malawi and Libya, and it displays the FCDO among its partners and donors.[6]
CSSF/ISF and other UK government work
GPG describes its work with Iraq's Council of Representatives, including support to committees and the Speakership.[7]
The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) reviewed the CSSF's aid spending in March 2018 and gave it an amber-red score, finding the fund responsive to National Security Council priorities but with weak results management and inadequate evidence of outcomes and value for money.[8] ICAI published a follow-up review in 2019.[9]
