It identifies major progress constraints rooted in institutional weaknesses, including instability, barriers to private investment, costly labor market rigidity, inefficient land markets, and degraded institutional capacity for equitable service delivery. The report concludes with forward-looking policy priorities and thematic knowledge gaps to guide reforms.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nTable of Contents  \nAcknowledgements................................................................................................................................. 3  \nAbbreviations .......................................................................................................................................... 4  \nExecutive Summary ................................................................................................................................. 5  \nSection 1.
