Enhancing Public Management for Service Delivery in Rio de Janeiro

closed

The objective of the Enhancing Public Management for Service Delivery in Rio de Janeiro Development Policy Operation for Brazil is to assist the Government of Rio de Janeiro (GORJ) in its efforts to enhance public management for the delivery of key public services for vulnerable populations by instituting new policies and regulations to improve: the medium term planning and monitoring of public expenditures (Policy Area 1); the accessibility, quality and affordability of urban mobility services for the poor (Policy Area 2); and the availability of targeted social services aimed at reducing domestic and gender based violence (Policy Area 3). This objective directly contributes to the poverty reduction and shared prosperity agendas, insofar as financially-sustainable and targeted urban mobility and social support services benefiting the poor and other populations at risk, such as women, enable more equitable access to economic and social opportunities, allowing the benefits of growth to be shared more widely.
