Abstract
The primary strategic goal of the World
Bank's civil society team for Latin America and the
Caribbean is to promote inclusive governance. Governance is
understood as the sum of the many ways that individuals and
institutions, public and private, manage their common
affairs. It includes formal institutions and regimes
empowered to enforce compliance, as well as informal
arrangements that people and institutions perceive to be in
their interest. The inclusion of a wide range of social
actors in the public debate and the promotion of inclusive
civic participation is vital to this strategy. Capacity
building, aimed at the most vulnerable actors is an
essential prerequisite. This brief includes the following
headlines: listening to development priorities from the
ground: the objectives of the 'voices of the
girls'; activities of the 'voices of the
girls'; lessons learned; looking ahead; notes; and
about the authors.
