Multilevel governance for more effective regional development policies
Brazil currently faces a window of opportunity to implement its agenda of economic growth with social inclusion. Such a strategy requires, among others things, identifying potential complementarities between policies and creating the multi-level governance tools to co-ordinate policies in territories. Brazil’s institutional structure and multi-level governance framework are highly complex. Given its size, heterogeneity and constitutional framework, Brazil faces important multi-level governance challenges.

Then it will analyse these specific challenges for policy co-ordination, and highlight tools used in Brazil or in OECD countries that could be useful for overcoming these challenges.
