| As
part of the Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) initiative,
the World Bank has established a program to assist its member countries
in strengthening their corporate governance frameworks. The objectives
of this program are to:
- Benchmark the
country’s corporate governance framework and company practices
against the OECD
Principles for Corporate Governance.
- Assist the country
in developing and implementing a country action plan for improving institutional
capacity with a view to strengthening the country’s corporate
governance framework.
- Raise awareness
of good corporate governance practices among the country’s public
and private sector stakeholders.
The World Bank conducts
corporate governance country assessments under the ROSC initiative at
the invitation of country authorities. The World Bank uses a diagnostic
tool – a Template - that it has developed to gather pertinent information
for preparing the Corporate Governance ROSC. The Template has five sections
that are based on the OECD Principles; a copy of the Template may be accessed
below.
The ROSC team works
closely with stakeholders and makes recommendations that can lead to a
country action plan. The World Bank publishes the ROSC report on this
Website with permission of the country authorities. The published reports
are accessible below by country.
