| Summary: | Developing more efficient, transparent
public institutions in the Bank's client countries
requires a two-pronged approach. First, countries must build
their capacity to perform functions such as policymaking and
policy implementation, regulation, service delivery, and
administrative management. Second, they must enhance the
state's accountability-both internally, among the
executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and
externally, to citizens, users of public services, and other
stakeholders. Initiatives in both areas contribute to good
governance, understood as the exercise of public authority
for the common good. To succeed, this approach must be based
on a solid diagnosis of the weaknesses it is trying to
address, accompanied by awareness and buy-in from citizens,
politicians, and the international community. |
