The development objective of the Amazonas: Modernizing Public Sector Management, Citizen Security, and Gender Policies Development Policy Loan (DPL) Program Project for Brazil is to assist the Government of Amazonas (GoAM) to: (i) improve tax administration and procurement procedures, and (ii) strengthen the delivery of citizen security services and women's access to justice and social services. This operation is a one-tranche DPL, in the amount of United States (U.S.) 216 million dollars to the Brazilian state of Amazonas. The support to the GoAM is being carried out in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). This operation complements and extends selected policy actions supported by the IADB's program for fiscal consolidation to improve the delivery of public services in the state of Amazonas operation. The IADB program focuses on the legal and regulatory aspects of the reforms while the World Bank on its implementation policies drawing from experience in other states. By partnering with the IADB, the Bank has been able to enhance its policy dialogue with a reformist administration in a poor and low-capacity state, while supporting priorities at the federal level and demonstrating its flexibility and responsiveness, to both the state and the country. The GoAM has identified a number of deficiencies in tax and financial administration, and in the management of the citizen security sector, which limit its fiscal capacity and service delivery efficiency. This operation supports specific measures to tackle these deficiencies.
