dropped

Failure

Pro-Gestão is a multi-phased umbrella operation that will help Brazilian States enhance public service delivery, improve theefficiency of public expenditure, and help address fiscal imbalances.The first operation in the MPA will be an Investment ProjectFinancing (IPF) with Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLI) in the State of Alagoas which has the lowest Human Development Index inthe country and a strong commitment to PSM reform. The choice of instrument stems from the need to provide both technicalassistance and strong financial incentives to adopt policies that will substantially modify a number of backward policies. As perinitial design the operation would focus on the following areas: (i) Human Resource Management and Pensions; Procurement; DigitalGovernment; Funds and; (ii) Management in Health and (iii) Education.The proposed Project aligns well with the Brazil FY18-23Country Partnership Framework (CPF). It will support the CPF’s Focus Area 1 & 2 (Fiscal consolidation and government effectivenessand Private sector investment and productivity growth) by helping adopt policy reforms necessary to improve service delivery,reestablish fiscal stability and strengthen fiscal management, as well as setting up institutional arrangements that can attractand leverage private sector investment.
