This is a useful guide from the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre on the evaluation of the many tools to measure Local Government. Specifically the guide covers:

1. Urban Governance Index (UN-HABITAT)

2. Local Governance Barometer (Impact Alliance)
3. Good Governance for Local Development – GOFORGOLD Index (Afghanistan)
4. Local Democracy Assessment Guide (International IDEA)
5. Indicators of Local Democratic Governance (Tocqueville Research Centre & OSI)
6. Methodological Guidelines for Local Governance Analysis (UNDP)
7. Governance Index (Indonesia, Kemitraan - Partnership)
8. Measuring Municipal Performance – MIDAMOS (Paraguay)
   

It is always advocated that knowledge sharing is important for improved service delivery. The question is how do you measure the impact? Is it possible to measure knowledge? If we cannot measure the contribution of knowldge sharing to improved service delivery why are we doing it. Programmes such as knowledge sharing and management are initiated to fill a specific gap.
