MODULE THREE: PUBLIC-PRIVATE SECTOR INTERFACE
The two components of this module are:
State-Owned Enterprises and Corporate Governance
The aim of this component is to support partner countries in advancing reforms in the state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector and improving the corporate governance of SOEs so that they can improve their performance and increase their contributions to economic development and government resources. It focuses on a critical series of complementary and integrated activities which focus on assessing reform needs for the governance of SOEs, bridging the SOE knowledge gap in partner countries, building capacity at the country level, fostering peer-to-peer exchanges, and supporting operational engagement for successful reform implementation. For this, a recently integrated SOE framework (iSOEF) was developed. A recent evaluationn of the World Bank's engagement in SOES provides many valuable lessons regarding support for the reform of SOEs, including evidence of a strong connection between success in SOE reforms with other aspects of governance, such as control of corruption in a country. The FMP strengthens these types of linkages by enabling a comprehensive approach that connects the governance of SOE reform with other aspects, such as public financial management and anti-corruption.
