| description |
Cities now host half the world's
population and provide 70 percent of world Gross Domestic
Product (GDP). Managing them well is vital for development.
The Bank has assisted nearly 3,000 municipalities worldwide
over the past decade. This Bank assistance has helped
strengthen the planning, finance and service provision
dimensions of municipal management through 190 operations
identified by Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) as
municipal development projects (MDPs). Best results for
municipalities came through stronger flows of revenues,
better financial management, information systems and ability
to manage procurement. Weaker results were found in
monitoring and evaluation, operations and maintenance,
private finance of services and lack of poverty focus. The
purpose of this IEG special study is to illuminate the scale
and scope of Bank support for municipal development and to
draw specific lessons from the achievements and failures of
a sample of individual projects. The study focuses on three
dimensions of municipal management; planning, finance, and
service provision. The planning dimension refers to the
capacity of a municipality to forecast and oversee its own
progress. It includes information systems, monitoring and
evaluation (M&E), city planning, and investment
strategies. The finance dimension refers to how a
municipality manages the resources needed to provide
services to its constituents. It covers financial
management, own-resource mobilization, access to credit, and
private funding. The service provision dimension refers to
the capacity of a municipality to manage the services
required by city residents and business people through the
effective prioritization of investments, management of
competitive procurement, and sustaining of services through
operations and maintenance (O&M). |
