Sumario:"Governance Reform: Bridging Monitoring and Action lays out a broad framework for analyzing and monitoring governance in developing countries. It identifies 14 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)."--Jacket.
