This conclusion holds whether infrastructure is in private or public hands. This paper looks at what has been learned about the role of governance in infrastructure, provides some recent examples of reform efforts and project approaches, and suggests an agenda for greater engagement - primarily at the sector level - to improve governance and reduce the development impact of corruption. The discussion covers market structure, regulation, state-owned enterprise reform, planning and budgeting, and project design.CC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEABUSE OF POWERACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURESAID EFFECTIVENESSANTI-BRIBERYANTI-CORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION DRIVEANTICORRUPTION EFFORTSANTICORRUPTION STRATEGYASSETSAUDITINGAUDITORSAUDITSAUTHORITYAUTONOMYBASIC SERVICESBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBIDDINGBRIBEBRIBERYBRIBERY CONVENTIONBRIBESBUDGET CONSTRAINTSBUDGET MANAGEMENTBUDGET TRANSPARENCYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZENSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SERVICE REFORMSCIVIL SOCIETYCODES OF CONDUCTCOLLUSIONCOMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMPETITIVE BIDDINGCOMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESSCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONFEDERATIONCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONGRESSMANCONSULTATION PROCESSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORRUPTCORRUPT ACTSCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONSCORRUPTION SURVEYSCOST OF CAPITALDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKINGDEFICITSDISCIPLINARY PROCEDURESDISCLOSUREDISCRETIONDISTRICTSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRICITY SERVICESEMERGING MARKETSEMPLOYMENTENTERPRISE REFORMENTERPRISE SURVEYSENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSEXECUTIONEXPENDITUREFAILURE OF GOVERNANCEFATALITIESFINANCIAL ANALYSISFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFISCAL REFORMFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICESFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONFREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAWFREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAWSGLOBAL ANTICORRUPTIONGOVERNANCE CHALLENGESGOVERNANCE DIMENSIONGOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENTGOVERNANCE FAILURESGOVERNANCE INSTITUTIONSGOVERNANCE REFORMGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONGOVERNMENT OFFICIALGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT SERVICESHOUSINGHUMAN RESOURCESIMPROVING GOVERNANCEINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL CHANGEINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENTINSTITUTIONAL QUALITYINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSESINTEGRITYINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATORSINVESTMENT CLIMATEKICKBACKSLABOR COSTSLAWSLEGAL AUTHORITYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL REFORMLEGISLATIONLEGISLATORSLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL TAXESLOW INCOME COUNTRIESMALFEASANCEMANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMSMANAGERIAL AUTONOMYMANDATESMARKET VALUEMEDIAMINISTRY OF FINANCEMONOPOLYMULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKSMUNICIPALITYNATIONAL LEVELOPERATING COSTSPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPENALTIESPERCEPTIONS INDEXPETTY CORRUPTIONPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOLITICAL ECONOMYPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENTSPROSECUTIONPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYPUBLIC UTILITIESREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY APPROACHESREGULATORY BODYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY INSTITUTIONSREGULATORY INSTRUMENTSREGULATORY OVERSIGHTREGULATORY POWERSROADROAD MAINTENANCEROAD QUALITYROADSSANCTIONSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCANDALSERVICE DELIVERYSIZE OF GOVERNMENTSOCIAL COSTSOLID WASTE SERVICESTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESTAXATIONTHEFTTHEFTSTOTAL EXPENDITURESTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SERVICESURBAN DEVELOPMENTWAGESWATER METERSWATER SUPPLYWHISTLEBLOWERWHITE ELEPHANTWHITE ELEPHANTSZERO TOLERANCEWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4331
