Abstract
Based on a review of relevant World Bank
materials and outside sources, this note focuses on two
questions of critical importance in discussions surrounding
the establishment of a planning commission. These are: 1)
what planning commission arrangements seem to be effective?
2) What should the role of a planning commission be in a
quasi-federal system? It should be recognized that a
planning commission is only one possible institutional
device to deal with coordination issues within and across
levels of government. The determination of the most
appropriate mechanism for dealing with each type of
coordination issue or failure requires careful understanding
of the specific driving factors.
