It systematically reviews different objectives of advocacy, the tools that authorities have been employing to these ends, the scope of legal mandates on the basis of which authorities develop these tools and the strategies with which authorities achieve tangible impacts for consumers and the broader economy. Against this background, the third chapter of this book further presents the individual results of advocacy initiatives awarded at the World Bank Group’s and International Competition Network’s Competition Advocacy Contest for 2014/15. The final chapter extracts the key lessons learned from successful competition advocacy initiatives, drawing on the results from all awarded stories under the Annual Competition Advocacy Contest and the experience of the World Bank Group in implementing competition policy projects and providing support to competition advocacy in 40 countries worldwide.  See Less -
