| Summary: | This report is an inaugural issue in a
new series that aims to offer a fresh look at how developing
countries are overcoming persistent problems in public
sector management. Significant improvements in public sector
performance are being evidenced across the developing world
today, as government officials and political leaders find
new and innovative ways to tackle long-standing challenges.
Part I of this report demonstrates that public sector
performance is being pursued diligently and successfully
across a variety of country contexts, including in
low-income environments. Through surveying its governance
specialists from around the globe, the World Bank has
assembled a collection of 15 cases that showcase how lessons
from global experience are being adapted and applied in
practice. The report also explores common success drivers
that appear in each of the cases. Part II focuses on a
special, cross-cutting topic that is critical to public
sector performance -- policy and inter-agency coordination.
As the responsibilities of government have grown in volume
and complexity, policy and program coordination has become
ever more challenging, and the stakes have never been
higher. Enhancing coordination will depend not only on the
adopted formal institutional mechanisms, but also on their
interplay with the broader institutional environment and
with other processes that influence coordination. |
