Public sector reform: what works and why? An Independent Evaluation Group evaluation of World Bank support (pdf 1.9mb)

This paper examined by the Independent Evaluation Group looks at lending and other kinds of Bank support for public sector reform (PSR) between 1999 and 2006 in the areas of public financial management, administrative and civil service, revenue administration and anti-corruption and transparency.

It reveals that although a majority of countries that borrowed to support PSR experienced improved performance in some dimensions, there were shortcomings in important areas and in overall coordination.
