Long description
The success of development activities, including those financed by the World Bank, depends on the effectiveness of a country's public sector. The Bank has devoted an increasing share - now about one-sixth - of its lending and advisory support to four areas of public sector reform (PSR): public financial management, administration and civil service, revenue administration, and anticorruption and transparency. The report evaluates Bank support for reforms in these areas, 1999-2006.
