Development Management Progress and Challenges in the PRC
Asian Development Bank | November 2002
Abstract
Poverty reduction, a principal goal of the PRC and the principal goal of ADB, depends on effective markets and the environment for growth with significant redistribution of the beneficial effects, which are characterized by a level playing field. Effective markets can channel investment to help the poor, and pro-poor growth and poverty interventions (ADB 2001b). These are necessary preconditions for long-term, sustainable poverty reduction. Effective markets are determined by economic and noneconomic factors. The goal of this report is to assess key factors that impinge on markets and thereby inhibit growth. It first examines the structure of the Government and then discusses such key issues as public expenditure management; core government functions (public administration, the legal system, public service delivery, and accountability); the interface between the public and private sectors, especially the creation of an enabling environment for the development of the private sector and corporate governance issues; and the development of civil society, including enhancing the capacities of nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to assist with development and with access to information.
