Governance: The World Bank's Experiece. Development in Practice

摘要

The purpose of this report is to summarize the Bank's activity in the area ofgovernance in the past two years. The record shows that the Bank's work on governance has greatly expanded, albeit with different points of emphasis, in all regions of the developing world and in the countries that are in transition from socialism to market economies. Following the pattern established by the 1992 report, the current report describes developments under four sub-headings of governance: (1) public sector management; (2) accountability; (3) legal framework for development; and (4) transparency and information. Despite their inevitable overlap, these headings provide a template against which the Bank's governance work can be assessed.
