It argues that the region's infrastructure has suffered from public retrenchment and unrealistic expectations about private involvement. Poor infrastructure now hampers productivity, growth, and poverty reduction. Addressing this requires more and better spending, and acceptance that governments remain central to infrastructure provision and supervision, although the private sector still has an important role to play.Directions in development (Washington, D.C.)Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Infrastructure.World Bank e-Library.Infrastructure (Economics)Caribbean AreaInfrastructure (Economics)Latin AmericaInfrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)338.098Fay Marianne1597333Morrison Mary1972-1597334DLCDLCBAKERC#PYDXYDXCPDLCBOOK9910813318203321Infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean3919061UNINA
