CommGAP provides training on how to approach and overcome difficult challenges in governance reform for staff at the World Bank, other bilateral and multilateral development agencies and reform managers in developing countries. This program is based on the knowledge and insights gained through research and the multi-stakeholder dialogues convened by CommGAP. It introduces a set of core communication training modules focusing on governance and accountability issues.

The first course in CommGAP's global learning program entitled “People, Politics, and Change: Communication Approaches for Governance Reform”, has been piloted in Africa, Asia, and in the US. The course pilots were attended by government officials and governance specialists with real-world experience in implementing reforms.
