Resumen: This Technical Note presents a literature review on the Center of Government (CoG). This term refers to the institution or group of institutions that support a country s chief executive (president or prime minister) in leading the political and technical coordination of the government s actions, strategic planning of the government s program, monitoring of performance, and communication of the government s decisions and achievements. These institutions are becoming more and more relevant in a context where an increasing number of crosscutting issues demand whole - of - government approaches and coherent responses. In several countries, the CoG is also increasingly involved in promoting innovations to improve government performance and support departments and agencies in achieving results. This review discusses the conceptual definitions of CoG in the literature ; presents their main functions; describes the organization, structure, and management styles of the units typically performing those functions; and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the current literature to inform an action - based agenda of CoG strengthening in Latin America and the Caribbean.
