A/HRC/34/28 Mediterranean Sea, on dangerous and unregulated sea passages. The aim of the meeting was to promote cooperation between United Nations agencies, international organizations, civil society, States and the shipping industry. 3. World Bank 50. The World Bank contributes to the promotion of good governance by supporting States in building capable, efficient, open, inclusive and accountable institutions in the interest of promoting sustainable growth, eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity. 51. The World Bank has, particularly by means of the International Development Association fund for the poorest countries, supported the creation of opportunities for citizen engagement and building and maintaining trust between the State and citizens. By strengthening governing systems and fostering transparent and participatory public sector involvement, countries are better able to address past and existing problems and to respond to future needs. In its World Development Report 2017, the World Bank analyses the role of governance and the law in the economic advancement of nations. It examines the institutional foundations of a well-functioning State, and addresses the interaction between economic development and the underlying factors that influence the quality of governance, and the gaps between intended and achieved governance reforms. 52. The World Bank pursues four strategic priorities in supporting the efforts of States to strengthen their governance: (a) public financial management; (b) public sector performance; (c) accountability in service delivery; and (d) open, inclusive and accountable governance. 53. With regard to public financial management, the World Bank supports States in the formulation of policies and in implementing procedures to improve revenue collection, administration and the efficient use of resources. 54. With regard to public sector performance, the World Bank supports States in improving the performance of civil servants; strengthening public administration capacity and quality; enhancing the performance and transparency of State-owned enterprises; strengthening the checks and balances systems used in the public sector; improving the effectiveness of supreme audit and accountability institutions and the judiciary; and building the capacity of policy coordination and delivery entities. 55. With regard to accountable service delivery, the World Bank supports States in setting up citizen feedback mechanisms, enhancing financial accountability, and establishing transparent and effective systems of procurement. 56. Lastly, the World Bank supports States in ensuring more open and inclusive government and in efforts to combat corruption. 57. In the United Republic of Tanzania, for example, the Government has joined the Open Government Partnership to promote transparency and citizen participation. It has also adopted a new delivery results model, including in the education, health and water sectors. In Bangladesh, the World Bank has supported the establishment of a procurement data centre, and training in public procurement and professional certification. In Pakistan, it has supported the establishment of a call centre, which allows citizens to give feedback on government services with a view to fighting petty corruption and assessing the quality of service delivery. 58. In addition, through the Nordic Trust Fund, the World Bank conducts activities focusing specifically on strengthening good governance through a human rights lens. The activities were centred on evaluating and analysing the impact of governance interventions aimed at increasing participation, transparency and accountability and reducing corruption. 9
