(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-08) World Bank Group

The Country Opinion Survey in Chile assists the World Bank Group (WBG)in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Chile perceive the WBG. It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Chile on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Chile; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Chile; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Chile; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Chile.

Monitoring and Evaluation System : The Case of Chile 1990-2014

(Washington, DC: World Bank Group, 2014-07) Guzman, Marcela ; Irarrazaval, Ignacio ; de los Rios, Boris

From its creation in the 1990s, the Chilean monitoring and evaluation (M and E) system has represented a substantial part of the effort to improve the use of Chile's public resources within a broader context of multiple initiatives designed to modernize and improve public management in many areas. This close relationship with the budget has determined the primary characteristics of the M and E system, in both its design and operations. The M and E system's institutional coverage includes all the organizations in the executive branch of the central government and those included in the budget law for the public sector. The objective of this document is to give a broad view of the M and E systems in Chile, distinguishing the three stages and providing lessons for other countries that are developing their own systems. The first section focuses on the first period and its two stages: 1990-2000 and 2000-2010. These stages concentrate mainly on the role played by the budget office. The second period covers 2010-13, in which light is shed on both the new system's actors and the emphasis adopted by the authorities in charge, but at the same time the authorities largely continue and strengthen the existing tools from the M and E system of the previous period. The third section of the paper summarizes success factors and obstacles to success in the two periods. Section four states general conclusions regarding the main system's challenges and section five includes lessons for other countries.
The Quality of Growth: Fiscal Policies for Better Results

(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2008) López, Ramón E. ; Thomas, Vinod ; Wang, Yan

The world faces unprecedented opportunities to reduce global poverty and improve human welfare. Strong global growth and better economic policies in recent years have substantially reduced poverty in many developing countries. However, with the recent financial turmoil in the United States and rising prices for food, oil, and other commodities, the world economy faces heightened risks and volatility. Policymakers around the world face the challenge of maintaining momentum in growth, as well as of improving the quality of growth. This concern over quality is reflected in the highly uneven reduction in poverty, rising inequality in numerous countries, and widening environmental degradation during the past decade, a period of unprecedented high economic growth in developing countries. Unless these issues are confronted, gains from growth are likely to be undermined and the pace of growth, itself, will not be sustained. Growth is clearly linked to reductions in poverty. But the strength of this relationship depends on the quality or nature of growth. Various studies show that some growth patterns systematically reduce poverty and inequality, but others do not. And some growth patterns lead to underinvestment in human capital, overexploitation of natural resources, and degradation of the environment, patterns inimical to the sustainability of growth.
Experience with Institutionalizing Monitoring and Evaluation Systems in Five Latin American Countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay

(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2006-05) Zaltsman, Ariel

This paper provides a comparative analysis of five countries which have sought to institutionalize government-wide monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems. Among the many lessons are the strong advantages of having high-level support, and the benefits of coordination among different stakeholders and systems. A number of strong features of Chile’s main M&E system are also noted.
Institutionalization of Monitoring and Evaluation Systems to Improve Public Sector Management

(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2006-01) Mackay, Keith

A growing number of countries are pursuing a results orientation by building or strengthening their government monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems. This paper provides an overview of the increasingly rich body of experience with these efforts. The dimensions of a successful government M&E system are considered, using Chile as an example. Success factors and mistakes to avoid are examined. Finally, the special case of Africa is outlined. This paper includes the following headings: introduction; what does success look like - the case of Chile; country capacities - for what; lessons from experience - success factors for building country M&E systems; key trends influencing country realities - a donor perspective; the special case of Africa; and conclusions and challenges for the future.
