The Effective Governance Initiative is a cross-party, non-partisan project bringing power closer to the people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Using the principle of subsidiarity, the EGI will examine how both competencies and tax raising ability can be removed from Whitehall and given to the lowest level of government practically manageable.
Guiding the work of the EGI will be a board of trustees as well as an advisory board made up of people with experience and expertise in the areas of local government and devolution of powers, with members of each spread across all of the political parties within the United Kingdom.
