The region is at substantial risk from slowing economic growth,  inflation, and fiscal pressures, and its public sector is constrained by institutional  weaknesses, including inefficient public spending and service delivery. Core functions  of government, including human resources management and public financial  management, require substantial improvements in their efficiency and effectiveness. Strengthening government functioning requires actionable diagnostics, based on granular, real-time information: for instance, data on recruitment practices to inform human resources management decisions, data on payment delays to improve procurement processes, and data on taxpayer compliance to design tax instruments. Governments can use administrative data that are specific to government functions to inform managerial decisions to improve those functions.\nGovernments in Latin America and the Caribbean are well positioned to leverage data for better government. The region is a global pioneer in establishing management information systems (MISs): specialized systems that collect administrative data on specific functions of government, including human resources, procurement, service delivery, taxes, and more. These information systems gather granular, real-time data on core government functions, and these data can serve as a rich source of information on challenges and opportunities in these functions. However, the administrative data recorded in these information systems are often underutilized because of inadequate data quality and accessibility, as well as limited analytical capabilities within governments. By addressing these constraints, governments can use administrative data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of each aspect of government functioning.","geographic_units":[{"name":"Latin America and the Caribbean","code":"LAC","type":"Region"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"data_statement":"Some data is not yet publicly available but is expected to be made available through the Microdata Library in the future.","repository_uri":[{"name":"Reproducible Research Repository (World Bank)","uri":"https:\/\/reproducibility.worldbank.org"}],"reproduction_instructions":"To replicate the package follow these steps:  \n1. **Access Data**:  \n   - Copy the publicly available CEPAL data into the appropriate Excel files to replicate Figure 1.1.  \n   - Government Officials Survey data is not yet public; an anonymized version will be made available through the World Bank Microdata Library.  \n2. **Update File Path**:  \n   - Once the procurement survey data is available, update the file path in line 10 of the main `.do` file.  \n3. **Run Code**:  \n   - Run the main `.do` file to generate all exhibits.  \n4. **Compare Outputs**:  \n   - While the data is not yet publicly available, the package includes pre-generated outputs from the paper for comparison against the publication. \n \nFor more details, please refer to the README file and the reproducibility report.","technology_environment":"Paper exhibits were reproduced on a computer with the following specifications:\n\u2022 OS: Windows 11 Enterprise\n\u2022 Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU @ 2.90GHz   2.90 GHz  (2 processors)\n\u2022 Memory available: 16 GB\n\u2022 Software version: Stata version 18 MP","disclaimer":"The materials in the reproducibility packages are distributed as they were prepared by the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development\/the World Bank.
