This paper discusses how to make public sector reforms successful by considering political and economic factors. It looks at why some countries are better for reforms and what reforms can work there. The study found that many developing countries start reforms but stop because the costs are too high. Successful reforms happen in countries with big changes or leaders who really want change. The World Bank has done well when they understand these challenges. The study shows that reforms need to match each country, focus on the right time for changes, and involve stakeholders in a clear way.
