Description:	This report offers guidance on how to improve the design and delivery of development programmes for regions and cities. Building on frontier economic theory and country experiences, it identifies how supra-national, national and subnational governments can provide better incentives to achieve effective results. The success of regional development efforts depends inherently on the actions of multiple levels of government—local, regional, national and often supranational. Regional development programmes also often involve intermediary organisations such as banks and non-profit organisations. The challenge is to align the diverse incentives of these actors so that, together, they best support the economic, social and environmental development of different regions across a country. Given the increasing pressure for more efficient and effective regional policies, the instruments and governance arrangements used to implement them undergo constant adjustment. For this, it is necessary to take a step back in order to understand how countries are implementing regional policies and programmes, what makes some practices particularly successful, and how others can be improved.
