| description |
In many developing countries numerous
ambitious reform agendas have faltered and failed to have
significant impact on the ground, often creating a
counterproductive 'reform fatigue'. Most
governments have at their disposal detailed assessments of
their investment climate and are able to identify
weaknesses. However, expert diagnostics and political will
alone are not enough to succeed in reforming the investment
climate. Reform initiatives often get bogged down because of
a lack of institutionalized inter-ministerial coordination,
open public-private dialogue, and efficient project
management. Best reformers worldwide have taken into
account this implementation challenge. Recent studies have
demonstrated that, in addition to establishing a performing
high-level decision-making body, these countries have
developed a full-fledged reform process that includes a
dedicated reform team at the center of government and a
structured dialogue mechanism with the private sector to
better coordinate reform identification and implementation.
As highlighted in the 2008 report of the commission on
growth and development: 'making policy is only part of
the battle. Policies must also be faithfully implemented and
tolerably administered.' |
