This volume presents a set of Policy
Notes prepared by the World Bank's Brazil Team with
partners during 2002 as a contribution for the debate of
policies by the new federal and state governments elected in
October 2002. The objectives of making these Policy Notes
available to a broader audience is twofold. It could
contribute to the discussion in Brazil and elsewhere about
public policies to be formulated by the Brazilian
governments for the period 2003-2006, and beyond. It could
also serve as a vehicle to exchange lessons of experience
from Brazil to the rest of the world and vice versa. Since
the Policy Notes were written for an incoming administration
that would be well familiar with recent developments in
Brazil, they do not attempt a comprehensive assessment of
Brazil's impressive recent progress but rather focus on
the challenges in areas where World Bank and related partner
experience appears relevant. The Policy Notes were prepared
during 2002, a period during which economic uncertainties
mounted ahead of the presidential elections of October 2002.
They do not reflect information on the important policy
discussions and developments after the elections. These
notes do not deal with all policy issues of relevance for
Brazil. Even on those issues which are addressed, the
assessment may be focused on specific aspects. The selection
of topics and the emphasis in the Policy Notes are, thus,
driven by policy priorities and their timeliness. The Policy
Notes do not attempt to present a comprehensive policy
agenda; rather, they are meant to constitute timely
contributions for discussions. The initial objective was to
pull together findings of past World Bank Group studies,
based on numerous other work by Brazilian and international
authors, and experiences on Brazil, as well as relevant
international experiences, and make them available to the
new governments in a synthetic form.
