The Many Faces of Corruption : Tracking Vulnerabilities at the Sector LevelThis paper explores the use of prototype road maps to identify corruption vulnerabilities, suggests corresponding warning signals, and proposes operationally useful remedial measures in each of several selected sectors and for a selected sample of cross cutting public sector functions that are particularly prone to corruption and that are critical to sector performance. Numerous technical experts have come together in this effort to develop an operationally useful approach to diagnosing and tackling corruption. The many faces of corruption is an invaluable reference for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers engaged in the business of development.

Governance Reform : Bridging Monitoring and ActionGovernance reform: bridging, monitoring, and action lays out a broad framework for analyzing and monitoring governance in developing countries. 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).

Update of the Country Procurement Assessment ReviewThis Country Procurement Assessment Review (CPAR) update is conducted jointly by the Mozambique Government, the World Bank (Bank), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the donor community with a view to update the diagnostic work carried out in 2002. The update is considered highly opportune in view of the progress achieved since the last review and in consideration of the increased Government focus on monitoring the performance of Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms, including public procurement. In this context, the objectives of the CPAR have been defined as follows: (i) to assess the public procurement systems using OECD DAC Methodology, (ii) to recommend a monitoring mechanism to measure procurement systems compliance/performance and progress toward acceptable international standards, and (iii) to identify the areas of opportunity for improvement and recommend an action plan.
