“…The next element pertains to various dimensions of inter-ministerial coordination in public policy-making and this problem is extensively elaborated in policy sciences literature (Bouckaert, Peters and Verhoest, 2010;Metcalfe, 1994;Peters, 2006;. This element of governance primarily includes the potentials of the policy expertise to be applied in a government's inner cabinet or in something that could be dubbed the "prime minister's policy office" (Hamburger, Stevens and Weller, 2011).…”

Findings:The author is pointing out various limitations in the usage of policy analysis tools in formulating, implementing and evaluating public policies in Croatia. The crucial role of RIA for enhancing executive capacity of governance structures is particularly stressed in the study. The final part of the article is devoted to the prospects of further development of RIA as an applied policy analysis tool within the Croatian system of governance.

“…Lester Metcalfe (1994) has identified a scale of coordination (Table 1) that illustrates the possibilities for cooperation ranging from complete indifference among the actors through to the creation of a comprehensive government strategy for a policy area. This scale is useful for identifying levels of coordination, but tends to focus heavily on the role of public sector actors -and senior actors at that -whereas in many policy areas, including civil (birth) registration, non-governmental actors may also play a significant role and therefore must be included in any coordination activities, or Innocenti Working Paper 2016-04 study thereof.…”

Abstract: This research, the second of two case studies, explores coordination through the lens of civil registration and vital statistics, with particular reference to birth registration in Peru. It focuses on the role that coordination can play in making birth registration function effectively. While the capacity of governments to deliver the function of birth registration is central to this paper, the role that understanding coordination can play in improving public services is examined, especially services for children. The capacity to register the births of children is a long-standing function of governments, and can be seen as a test of government effectiveness. In Peru, backward mapping showed that the trails from local and district registrars to the government registration organization (RENIEC) stopped almost immediately. This seems to point towards the centralized structure and top-down approach of RENIEC; to sustain its achievements to date and to reach the final three per cent of unregistered births it should consider incentivizing and empowering local and community administrations. Correspondence should be addressed to:Keywords: children's rights, birth registration, governance, Peru Acknowledgements: This study has benefitted from insightful contributions from several people.

“…Si bien el SIGBA puede sentar las bases para ser un instrumento de monitoreo (véase la sección 2.3), ha sido concebido principalmente como un mecanismo para volver más accesible la información sobre las iniciativas de todas las entidades a nivel territorial para el Gobernador y los ministros. La disponibilidad de información sobre lo que llevan adelante las otras áreas es un piso mínimo de coordinación (Metcalfe, 1994), que este repositorio apuntaba a fortalecer. De todas maneras, este piso no alcanza a constituir un nivel más elevado de coordinación, como sí implicaría la consulta, la toma de decisiones conjuntas o la definición de objetivos multiministeriales, especialmente a nivel de resultado.…”
