Governance: Sound Development Management : The Bank’s concern with governance quality

---

Outlook for the future

As a result of the factors discussed above, issues of governance are now considered in the Bank in various contexts and at various levels (e.g., country operational program, project design and implementation, advisory TA). Given the Bank’s strategic objective of supporting economic growth that is socially equitable and environmentally sustainable, its determination to enhance the quality and impact of project operations, and the situation of borrowing DMCs, especially those in the low-income transtional (i.e., erstwhile centrally planned) and small island catagories, this focus on governance can be expected to grow.
