Define a common rule of law goal with a flexible basket of indicators that
can be tailored to country contexts. A rule of law goal would signal the
importance of the rule of law as an outcome of development on par with other
outcomes such as poverty reduction and health, though it would require
consensus on a particular function of the rule of law for development.
Adopt the rule of law as a high level “enabling” goal, which would commit
countries to make national‐level policy changes that enable progress on other
development goals. This approach recognizes that the rule of law is not just an
end in itself, but that it also enables a broader range of development outcomes.
Incorporate the rule of law across development goals, through rule of law
specific targets and indicators in support of other goals. This approach
highlights the importance of the rule of law across development, without
defining it as a desirable end in itself.
