Redefining Governance: Impact Assessment of Information Systems on Policy Development and State Modernization

This study examines how information systems influence governance and policy development, highlighting gaps in certain countries. The process, often overlooked as a mere report, has the potential to shape governance. Key findings reveal the role of state modernization in addressing poverty through deliberate policies, not external pressures. Recommendations include maintaining the HDI index, tracking school drop-out rates, and identifying proxy indicators for child labor, depression, and domestic violence.

  1. WORK GROUP # 3

  2. IMPACT ON GOVERNANCE • The process highlighted the gaps and weaknesses in information systems • In some countries it was approached as another “report” and not as an analytical tool • The process and the final document has been a “well kept secret” • Consensus is that the process of development of the Health Systems profile could potentially influence governance; however, that has not been the case to date, except in Dominica.

  3. Policies focused on the poor • Consensus that State modernization and reforms implicitly would impact on the poor and vulnerable • Poverty alleviation reforms were not driven by external forces, but by deliberate policies formulated and enacted to respond to country needs.

  4. Table # 9 • Maintain the HDI index • Specify School drop-out rate for primary and secondary education • Seek a proxy indicator for: • Child Labour • Prevalence of Depression • Difficulty in collecting information on Domestic Violence.
