Institutional and Governance Reviews : A New Type of Economic Sector Work
In 1999 the Bank began conducting
Institutional and Governance Reviews (IGRs), adding to its
tools for economic and sector work. IGRs trace the
institutional roots of weak government performance and offer
practical recommendations for improving government
operations and development strategies. The 13 IGR products
generated so far have varied considerably -reflecting
differences in the performance problems addressed, the stage
of the dialogue between the Bank and the country being
assessed, and the resources available to the Bank's
country teams. A recent assessment of the Bank's
experience with Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers recommends
that countries undertake IGRs early in the process of
producing those papers. In addition, the Bank's Task
Force on Low-income Countries Under Stress recommends that
IGRs be conducted to build knowledge and capacity in such
countries. IGRs have several distinctive features. They
assess performance failures empirically, using surveys and
quantitative measures whenever possible. They encourage the
development of standardized tools and other modular
approaches that help maintain quality at reasonable cost.
And most important, they analyze the feasibility of reform
recommendations by considering political realities and
potential constraints.
