| Summary: | Based on a sample of countries in Latin
America and the Caribbean, this book sets out areas in which
governments could focus to improve the quality of public
expenditures. It seeks to identify, from a regional
perspective, first, the cross-cutting strengths and
weaknesses of public financial management and procurement
systems, and second, the characteristics of and lessons that
can be learned from reform programs. In undertaking this
analysis, the authors have taken a particular interest in
establishing what role civil society organizations may have
played, or could play, in promoting transparency and
accountability in the public sector. More specifically, this
book focuses on the specific institutional arrangements and
the policy choices that underpin the management of public
finances, which are set out primarily in a sample of
publicly available Country Financial Accountability
Assessments and Country Procurement Assessment Reports
undertaken by the World Bank and its development partners. |
