Established in Manila on September 4, 2003, the AIM-Hills Governance Center (AIM-HGC) was created in cooperation with the AIM-RVR Center for Corporate Responsibility, the World Bank, and the Hills Program on Governance at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.  The AIM-HGC was the Hills Program’s first center to open, followed by the Hills Governance Center at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.  The Manila and Seoul Centers will be joined by other Governance Centers in the region as the Hills Program expands.  The Program’s principal task is to develop an agenda promoting sound local governance at the intersection of the private and the public sectors, confronting corruption and encouraging accountability.

The work of the AIM-HGC includes research and analysis that examines the institutional sources of corruption, and disseminates the results to assist dialogue across sectors and regions.  By promoting transparency and accountability through educational tools, the AIM-HGC seeks to advance good governance practices and inform stakeholders of governance issues.

The Center will concentrate on governance challenges at the interesection betwen the private and public sectors.  The Center examines ways to reduce the cost of and incentives for misgovernance, develops locally applicable good governance practices, and connects interested parties in academia, the public sector, and private enterprise in dialogue through its national websites and training programs.
