Abstract

This note provides an overview of the LCR Governance Practice’s response to challenges and the Bank’s engagement in the LAC region. The paper is structured around the Governance Practice’s core business lines: public financial management (PFM); revenue administration; infrastructure governance; public sector management; GovTech; subnational governance; justice and the rule of law; accountability and integrity; governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs); and governance in sectors. Each section provides an overview of the key challenges in LCR and the Bank’s engagement.
