| Summary: | In mid-1999, the World Bank initiated
diagnostic studies of three topics relevant to improving
public sector transparency in Argentina. The topics proposed
for study--procurement, the detection and investigation of
corrupt acts, and the role of public information--were seen
to be critical to any Argentine Government program to combat
corruption. The three resulting papers (to be attached as
Annexes) are synthesized in the present overview which
provides a number of specific recommendations for
imprvements and a suggested course of action for the future.
The research focused almost exclusively on the federal
government, but holds lessons for the other levels
(provincial and municipal) as well. The report describes the
situation prior to the assumption of office by President
Fernando de la Rua (December 10, 1999). President De la Rua
has begun an anti-corruption program, which is addressing
many of the problems identified here. This report does not
and cannot assess these new efforts. The attached
consultants' reports should be read with that understanding. |
