Governance has been an explicit part of the Banks developmental agenda since the latter part of the 1990s, though elements of good governance have always played a role in the institutions work on development. These ranged from project focused work on financial management and procurement to the various sector governance components embedded in many of the Banks adjustment and sector operations since the 1980s. More recently, the Bank has evolved towards a more explicit acknowledgment that inefficiencies and weaknesses in the institutional environment have a direct impact on the achievement and the quality of development results.
