  1. Public sector management Sharing knowledge amongst peers A LAC/MIC perspective LAC MIC++ Launch June 25, 2009 Nick Manning Sector Manager Public Sector and Governance

  2. How do we share knowledge on public management developments? • Country level – indicators of progress • Very weak regional data collection • Tend to be anecdotal and fashion-driven • Thematically • Strong existing professional networks (INTOSAI, CAROSAI, LAC SBO etc.) – but coverage is limited • Agency level • Very few institutionalized peer-to-peer linkages

  3. We can do better – but we need to take care • Need to be very wary about any ratings/rankings approach to public management • Not everything needs to be public

  4. Ranking is a tricky business • Ratings/rankings approach to public management is risky • Can be a catalyst to dissatisfied public • But just as likely to be a source of political resentment that closes down debate • Above all, our evidence base that one arrangement is better than another is generally thin

  5. Not everything needs to be public • Sharing technical information between partners is facilitated by confidence and trust • Tax agencies, budget departments, ministries of public service – are all more likely to share information within a small group

  6. LAC-MIC++ takes care • Not normative • Develops a safe space for honest peer partnerships

  7. LAC-MIC++ is carefully positioned

  8. In conclusion • Long way to go • We’ll know that we’re getting somewhere when: • LAGG generates tough questions and challenges orthodoxy • Peer-to-peer partnerships are routine in any capacity-building exercise
