It identifies fourteen core indicators for governance monitoring- both broad measures of overall patterns and specific actionable measures that can be used to guide reforms and track progress. The book also summarizes good practices for reforming public bureaucracies and checks and balances institutions (including parliaments, the justice system, media and information, and local governance); highlights improvements in transparency as a relatively low-cost and low-key way of deepening government accountability to civil society; and suggests ways to complement top-down reforms with approaches that focus directly on improving service provision and the investment climate (such as strengthening the bottom-up accountabilities of service providers to communities, firms, and citizens).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEABUSE OF POWERACCOUNTABILITIESACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MEASURESACCOUNTINGADMINISTRATIVE CAPABILITYADMINISTRATIVE CORRUPTIONADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENTADMINISTRATIVE REFORMADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMSAGGREGATE GOVERNANCE INDICATORSAGGREGATE INDICATORAGGREGATE INDICATORSANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION COMMISSIONSASSASSINATIONSASSETSAUTHORITYBRIBESBUDGET INFORMATIONBUDGET MANAGEMENTBUDGET REFORMBUREAUCRACYBUREAUCRATIC CONTROLBUREAUCRATIC QUALITYBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCENSORSHIPCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENCITIZENSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOALITIONSCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMPOSITE MEASURESCONFIDENCECONSENSUSCONSTITUENCIESCONSTITUTIONCORRUPTCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION CONTROLCORRUPTION INDICATORCOUNTRY COVERAGECRIMECRIMINALDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDEMOCRACIESDEMOCRACYDIRECT INVESTMENTDISCLOSUREDISCRETIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEEFFECTIVE GOVERNANCEEXECUTIONEXECUTIVE AGENCIESEXPENDITUREFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL POLICYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL SYSTEMFORMAL SYSTEMSFREE PRESSFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONFREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAWSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE DATAGOVERNANCE INDICATORSGOVERNANCE INSTITUTIONSGOVERNANCE MEASUREMENTGOVERNANCE MONITORINGGOVERNANCE OUTCOMESGOVERNANCE PERFORMANCEGOVERNANCE PROBLEMSGOVERNANCE QUALITYGOVERNANCE REFORMGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITYGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT INFORMATIONGOVERNMENT OWNERSHIPGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMPROVING GOVERNANCEINCOMEINCOME GROWTHINFANT MORTALITYINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINVESTMENT CLIMATEJUDICIAL DECISIONSJUDICIAL PROCESSESJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUDICIARYJUSTICEKINGSLABOR MARKETLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIVE AUTHORITYLEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHTLEGISLATORSLEGISLATURELEGITIMACYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INSTITUTIONSMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMARKET ECONOMYMEASUREMENT ERRORMEASUREMENT ERRORSMEASURING GOVERNANCEMEDIAMERITOCRACYMINISTRY OF FINANCENATIONAL GOVERNANCENATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONSPARLIAMENTPATRONAGEPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLITICAL COMMITMENTPOLITICAL COMPETITIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLITICAL LEADERPOLITICAL LEADERSPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL RISKPOLITICIANPOLITICIANSPOOR GOVERNANCEPOOR PERFORMANCEPRESIDENCYPRESIDENTSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIORITIESPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC ACTIONSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC BUREAUCRACYPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC MANAGEMENTPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR PERFORMANCEPUBLIC SPENDINGREPUBLICSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONREVERSE CAUSATIONREVOLUTIONREVOLUTIONSRULE OF LAWSANCTIONSECTORAL POLICIESSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RETURNSSTATE COLLAPSESTATE INSTITUTIONSSTATE POWERSTATISTICAL SYSTEMSSUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENTSSUBJECTIVE PERCEPTIONSSUBNATIONAL LEVELSSUBSIDIARYTRANSPARENCYTRANSPARENT FLOWTRANSPARENT INFORMATIONVETOVIOLENCEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7032-2
