Institute for State Effectiveness

The Institute for State Effectiveness (ISE) is a non-governmental organization based in Washington, D.C. that seeks to address the challenge of accountability and governance through a system-building approach across governments, markets and people. We believe the opportunity lies in creating approaches to equip leaders and managers with the knowledge, skills and tools to create inclusive policies and accountable institutions. Today we are focused on developing and systematizing this know-how to support leaders and organizations at the forefront of policy design and implementation. We investigate, research, and refine concepts, frameworks, methodologies and publications.
