| Summary: | Countries around the world are facing
the need to build effective, accountable, and inclusive
institutions. There has never been a more important moment
to tackle this agenda, as countries grapple with increasing
fragility and migration flows, more complex service delivery
requirements, and greater demands for transparency and
inclusion, all in a more resource-constrained environment.
Moreover, the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic crisis has
provided new evidence of the need for effective,
accountable, and inclusive government responses.
Governments’ capacity to respond to these complex challenges
is understandably stretched, but this has not limited the
rise of citizens’ expectations. Instead, it has often
increased tensions and, in some cases, has affected the
trust between governments and their citizens. This
publication builds on the World Bank’s vast engagement
across ECA and on the 2019 regional governance conference.
It consists of six chapters, each corresponding to one of
the governance areas around which governments across the
world organize their institutional functions. Each chapter
contains background and analysis by World Bank specialists,
complemented by country case studies authored by regional
experts and policymakers. |
