It was a self-diagnostic exercise based on the active participation of local stakeholders so as to foster ownership of the follow-up reforms. It entailed comprehensive data collection and analysis through field reviews (by three working groups focusing on technical, administrative, and structural problems respectively); desk reviews of relevant consultant reports and economic and sector work; and a survey of governance and indigenous institutions impacting on economic management. A 4-day assessment workshop was held to synthesize, analyze and prioritize the information gathered, and to map out future strategy. Follow-up workshops are being held to formulate an implementation plan and apportion responsibilities between implementing agencies. Lessons learned: the IEA is an appropriate instrument for identifying the major institutional causes of economic underperformance; and the involvement of all the key stakeholders was a positive and strategic move. In many cases, it will be these stakeholders who will ensure follow-up on measures agreed, thus making government more accountable. 2012-08-13T09:55:51Z 2012-08-13T09:55:51Z 1997-04 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/1997/04/13994532/institutional-environment-assessment-sao-tome-principe http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9937 English Africa Region Findings & Good Practice Infobriefs; No. 15 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa Sao Tome and Principe
