Governance & Anti-Corruption

A well functioning public sector that delivers quality public services consistent with citizen preferences and fosters private market-led growth while managing fiscal resources prudently, is considered critical to the World Bank’s mission of poverty alleviation and the achievement of millennium development goals.

The WBI Governance Learning Programs aim to advance these objectives by disseminating conceptual guidance and lessons from practices and facilitating learning from each others’ experiences on ideas and practices that promote responsive (matching public services with citizens’ preferences), responsible (efficiency and equity in service provision without undue fiscal and social risk) and accountable (to citizens for all actions) public governance in developing countries. Such knowledge creation and sharing is also expected to improve the development effectiveness of World Bank’s assistance for public governance reforms.
