International development policies significantly impact domestic governance by influencing the allocation of resources, shaping institutional frameworks, and setting priorities for social and economic development. Through foreign aid and partnerships, these policies can enhance infrastructure, healthcare, and education, affecting the overall quality of governance. However, they may also pressure governments to adopt certain reforms that align with international standards, potentially undermining local priorities. The intersection of global agendas with domestic needs creates a complex relationship that can either support or hinder effective governance, depending on the context and execution of these policies.
