Public Sector Governance and Accountability Series

A well-functioning public sector is critical for poverty alleviation. It must deliver quality public services that match the needs of its citizens, foster private market-led growth while managing fiscal resources prudently, and be accountable to its citizens for all actions. This important new series provides conceptual guidance and lessons in how to reach these objectives. The series facilitates learning from others' experiences with ideas and practices that promote responsive, responsible and accountable public governance in developing countries.
