The development of standard diagnostic tools for assessing institutional settings has moved rapidly within the World Bank in recent years. Toolkits are standardized approaches that: - set out the principles which experience suggests should underpin public sector governance arrangements,
- provide methods for assessing the degree to which specific country arrangements are consistent with those principles, and
- present those assessments in a format that readily contributes to the dialogue between the government, donors, and civil society on reform priorities.
Standard World Bank analytic products such as Institutional and Governance Reviews (IGRs), Public Expenditure Reviews (PERs), Social and Structural Reviews (SSRs), and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), provide an opportunity to develop and test standardized toolkits for measuring government performance, delving into the institutional origins of that performance, and gauging prospects for sustainable reform.
