World Bank Publications is dedicated to a greener publishing process ECO-AUDIT

Environmental Benefits Statement The World Bank is committed to preserving endangered forests and natural resources. To reduce our carbon footprint, we follow the recommended standards for paper usage set by the Green Press Initiative, a nonprofit program supporting publishers in using fiber that is not from endangered forests. For more information visit www.greenpressinitiative.org.

In 2009 the printing of World Bank publications was done on paper containing 10 to 100% recycled fiber made from post-consumer waste—each pound of postconsumer recycled fiber that replaces a ton of virgin fiber prevents the release of 2,108 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and lessens the burden on landfills. We used paper that is chlorine-free and acid-free, and printed with vegetable-based inks that are made from renewable sources and that are easier to remove in the recycling process. Taking these measures saved: 2,313 trees* 1,578 million BTUs of total energy 246,278 pounds of net greenhouse gasses 1,021,468 gallons of waste water 665,631 pounds of solid waste * Environmental impact estimates were made using the Environmental Defense Paper Calculator.

Featured Titles

World Development Report 2011 Conflict, Security, and Development The World Development Report 2011 on conflict, security and development will look at conflict as a challenge to economic development. It will analyze the nature, causes and development consequences of modern violence and highlight lessons learned from efforts to prevent or recover from violence.

Between two thirds and three quarters of the children without access to school, infants dying and mothers dying in childbirth in the developing world live in countries at risk or, affected by or recently recovering from violence.

There are strong links between local conflicts, national conflict, organized crime and trafficking and gang activity, and several societies that have successfully addressed one form of violence have later seen other forms threaten their development progress.

The key challenge is to build national institutional capacities, taking account of the balance between political realities and progress on social justice, and the need for carefully sequenced and paced reforms. Successful efforts to prevent violence have in general combined political, security and developmental efforts in support of objectives of citizen security, economic hope and inclusive and responsive governance.

The ultimate goal of the WDR is to promote new ways of preventing or addressing violent conflict. The WDR will not attempt to come up with a universal set of prescriptions.

By drawing on insight and experiences from a host of past and present situations, it will identify promising national and regional initiatives as well as directions for change in international responses, and discuss how lessons can be applied in situations of vulnerability to violent conflict.

Doing Business 2011 “One of the merits of [the Doing Business] data is that for any given regulatory obstacle in a country, it is easy to see which neighbouring country is doing better, and whether there are any relatively simple changes that would help.”

— The Financial Times, September 2009

“Encouragingly, reform seems to be contagious. Countries try to emulate leaders in their regions... The willingness of governments to keep reforming in such tough times strengthens the prospects for recovery.”

— The Economist, September 2009

“Here’s a rare bright spot as a result of the global financial crisis. The World Bank’s Doing Business Report, which tracks how easy or hard it is to start new businesses in various countries around the world, is just out today, and more countries than ever are slashing red tape around starting businesses.”

— Newsweek, September 2009

Eighth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 183 economies, Doing Business 2011 measures regulations affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: • • • • • • • • • •

starting a business dealing with construction permits employing workers registering property getting credit protecting investors paying taxes trading across borders enforcing contracts closing a business

The report updates all 10 sets of indicators, ranks countries on their overall ease of doing business and analyzes reforms to business regulation—identifying which countries are strengthening their business environment the most.

Doing Business 2011 includes results on the ongoing research in the area of getting electricity and illustrates how reforms in business regulations can translate into better outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and the wider economy. It also focuses on how women in particular are affected by complex business regulations.

Distortions to Agricultural Incentives A Global Perspective, 19552007 Edited by Kym Anderson

The fifth and last volume in the Distortions to Agricultural Incentives series focus on distortions from a global perspective.

This book brings together the first-ever comprehensive and consistent set of estimates of the changing extent of those distortions over the

past half-century. Those estimates show when each country’s reforms began, how rapidly and completely they have progressed, how much of the improved incentives for farmers is due to reform of agricultural as compared with nonagricultural policies, which have ‘overshot’ to become agricultural protectionists like many high-income countries, and to what extent an anti-trade bias remains. Also provided are analytical narratives of the evolution of farm versus non-farm policies in each of dozens of countries, covering in aggregate around 90 percent of agricultural output and 95 percent of the world economy. Such comprehensive coverage exposes also the different degrees to which the key agricultural product markets have been and still are distorted.

Agricultural Land Redistribution Toward Greater Consensus Edited by Hans P. BinswangerMkhize, Camille Bourguignon, and Rogier J. E. van den Brink

Despite 250 years of land reform all over the world, important land inequalities remain, especially in Latin America and Southern Africa. While there is near consensus on the need for redistribution in these countries, much controversy persists around how to redistribute land peacefully and legally, often blocking progress on implementation.

This book focuses on the “how” of land

redistribution in order to forge greater consensus among land reform practitioners and enable them to make better choices on the mechanisms of land reform. Reviews and case studies describe and analyze the alternative implementation options.

Agribusiness and Innovation Systems in Africa Edited by Kurt Larsen, Ronald Kim, and Florian Theus This book examines how agricultural innovation arises in four African countries—Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda— through the lens of agribusiness, public policies, and specific value chains for food staples, high value products, and livestock. Determinants of innovation are not viewed individually but within the context of a complex agricultural innovation system involving many actors and interactions. The volume is based on qualitative interviews with agribusiness representatives that were designed to shed light on their experiences on public policies that either enhance or impede innovation in Africa’s agriculture sector. It will be of interest to policymakers, agribusiness leaders, farmer organizations, NGOs, and researchers.

Migrant Remittance Flows Findings from a Global Survey of Central Banks

By Jacqueline Irving, Sanket Mohapatra, and Dilip Ratha

Drawing on the findings from responses to a survey conducted in 2008–09 from 114 central banks worldwide (of which 33 are in Africa), this volume aims to better understand how central banks and other national institutions regulate and collect data and other information on cross-border remittance flows. Findings indicate

that, although the vast majority of countries, in both sending and receiving countries, collect data on remittances, and 43 percent of receiving countries estimate informal remittances, there is a need for more frequent and better coordinated data collection, both across national institutions and among different divisions within the same national institution, as well as between countries.

Climate Change and the Environment

The Changing Wealth of Nations

Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change in Latin America and the Caribbean

Lessons for Sustainable Development

By Jakob Kronik and Dorte Verner

This book is the latest report by the World Bank to estimate comprehensive wealth-–including produced, natural, and human/ institutional assets–-for over 100 countries. This ground-breaking report presents wealth accounts for 1995, 2000, and 2005, permitting the first longer-term assessment of global, regional, and country performance in building wealth. This overall assessment is complemented by chapters detailing individual components of wealth, as well as how countries and the World Bank are using comprehensive measures of wealth for policy analysis.

This book addresses the social implications of climate change and climatic variability on indigenous peoples and communities living in the highlands, lowlands, and coastal areas of Latin America and the Caribbean. It is based on field research among indigenous communities in three major eco-geographical regions: the Amazon; the Andes and Sub-Andes; and the Caribbean and Mesoamerica. It finds major inter-regional differences in the impacts observed between areas prone to rapid- and slow-onset natural hazards.

It also explains available options for improving indigenous peoples’ resilience and adaptability to these phenomena.

The Cost of Environmental Degradation

Reducing Poverty, Protecting Livelihoods, and Building Assets in a Changing Climate Social Implications of Climate Change in Latin America and the Caribbean Edited by Dorte Verner

Climate change is the defining development challenge of our time. More than a global environmental issue, climate change and variability threaten to reverse recent progress in poverty reduction and economic growth. Communities across Latin America and the Caribbean are already experiencing adverse consequences from climate change and variability. Poverty, inequality, water access, health, and migration are and will be measurably affected by climate change.

Using an innovative research methodology, this study finds quantitative evidence of large variations in impacts across regions.

This volume explores the impact of climate change and climatic variability on poverty, livelihoods and assets in Latin America and the Caribbean, and offers key operational recommendations at the government, community, and household levels to improve resilience and adaptability to these phenomena.

Social Dimensions of Climate Change Equity and Vulnerability in a Warming World

Ecosystem-Based Approaches to Climate Change Global warming and changes in climate will have severe and lasting impacts on national efforts to alleviate poverty and promote sustainable development. This book sets out a compelling argument for including ecosystem-based approaches to mitigation and adaptation as a third essential pillar in national strategies to address climate change.

Such ecosystem-based strategies can offer cost-effective, proven and sustainable solutions contributing to, and complementing, other national and regional adaptation strategies.

Edited by Robin Mearns and Andrew Norton

Climate change is as much a challenge for poverty reduction, growth and development as it is a global environmental issue. While major strides have been made in the scientific understanding of climate change, much less understood is how these dynamics in the physical environment interact with socioeconomic systems. This book brings together the latest knowledge on the consequences of climate change for society and how best to address them.

This book aims to help the policymaker and development community in general to understand the nature of the problems and policy dilemmas that landlocked countries face to trade with the rest of the World. By recognizing that the main access problems for landlocked countries occur in the territory of the transit country, this volume provides a new approach to understand the set of incentives that drive the political economy and shape the institutions governing goods’ transit along corridors. It presents an important breakthrough in the literature, by focusing on a new conceptual framework that challenges the previous paradigm based on physical infrastructure and state-led access solutions, embodied in many treaties.

Global Value Chains in a Post-Crisis World

The Cost of Being Landlocked Logistics Costs and Supply Chain Reliability

A Development Perspective

By Jean-Francois Arvis, Jean-Francois Marteau, and Gael Raballand

This book proposes a new analytical framework to interpret and model the constraints faced by logistics chains in landlocked countries. Based on extensive data collection in several regions of the world, the authors argue that although landlocked developing countries do face high logistics costs, these do not result from poor road infrastructure-–contrary to conventional wisdom— since transport prices mainly depend on trucking market structure and organization. In turn, high logistics costs depend on low logistics reliability and predictability, which are sensitive to rentseeking and governance issues.

The book looks to address the following questions in a post-crisis world: How have lead firms responded to the crisis? Have they changed their traditional supply chain strategy and relocated and/or outsourced part of their production? How will those changes affect developing countries? What should be the policy responses to these changes?

Edited by Daniel Lederman, Marcelo Olarreaga, and Guillermo E. Perry

The economic successes of China and India are viewed with admiration but also with concern because of the effects that

the growth of these Asian economies may have on the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. The evidence in this book indicates that certain manufacturing and service industries in some countries have been negatively affected by Chinese and Indian competition in third markets and that LAC imports from China and India have been associated with modest unemployment and adjustment costs in manufacturing industries. The book also provides substantial evidence of positive aggregate effects for

LAC economies associated with China’s and India’s greater presence in world exports, financial flows, and innovation. Chinese and Indian growth is creating new production possibilities for LAC economies, particularly in sectors that rely on natural resources and scientific knowledge.

Unnatural Disasters, Natural Hazards Effective Prevention Through the Economic Lens

The idea that fostering citizen participation is central to resolving problems of good governance and development is one that has acquired tremendous force in recent times. Community participation in the development process is expected to build demand for inclusive and effective local governance, empower poor and vulnerable groups, improve the delivery of public services, and increase access to resources and livelihood opportunities - particularly for the most marginalized. In line with this, both governments and donors have invested very substantial resources in programs and projects which use participatory approaches to build local institutions. This book examines the conceptual foundations of the participatory approach to local development, assesses the evidence of its efficacy, and draws key lessons for policy.

Post-mortems of disasters often find that much of the death and destruction could have been averted relatively inexpensively.

This is misleading, as prevention measures differ in their cost and effectiveness. Cost benefit analysis provides an economic yardstick to choose among them, but there are some complexities. Death and destruction are not uniformly distributed: they occur more in poor countries than in rich ones, and poor people within each country are more often the victims. Preventive measures also redistribute costs, benefits, and risks among different groups, within and across countries.

So the economic yardstick, while useful, must be used with care taking ethical considerations into account. This book examines how to ensure that the preventive measures are worthwhile and effective, and how people can make decisions individually and collectively at different levels of government.

Economies of agglomeration mean that production is most efficient when concentrated in leading areas. So how can the region reduce spatial disparities in well-being without compromising growth? The solution to spatial disparities lies in matching the policy package to a lagging area’s specific characteristics. This book explores how the Middle East and North Africa can reduce spatial disparities without compromising economic growth. It explores how governments of the Middle East and North Africa can raise living standards in lagging areas.

Moving Up, Looking East

Lessons from East Asia and the Global Financial Crisis

The World Bank South Asia Economic Update 2010 is the World Bank’s comprehensive review of the region’s economies. In this first pilot edition, the Bank finds that the region experienced the least reduction in growth during the crisis compared to other developing regions, a result of resilient remittances and exports. It is now rebounding back to strong growth at nearly pre-crisis levels, based on domestic demand, consumption, and strong policy support, driving greater optimism. Given ongoing global rebalancing, and complementary economic structures and specialization possibilities, the special theme of this South Asia Economic Update is faster integration with East Asia and other emerging markets as engines of future growth.

The Black Box of Governmental Learning The Learning Spiral—A Concept to Organize Learning in Governments

By Raoul Blindenbacher

Little is known about how governments learn best or what exactly makes them change their behavior in a targeted way.

Governments consist of thousands of state officials and numerous institutional units. Experience has shown that they learn differently than individuals and/or organizations do. This book closes the gap between practice and the theory of how to organize learning events for governments in the 21st century, introducing the Learning Spiral as an organizing concept.

The didactic approach of the Learning Spiral is based on an analysis of past and current experiences of how governments learn, the particular knowledge they learn, and how knowledge gets created and transferred to the learners.

East Asia’s Sustainable Energy Future

Beyond Booms and Busts?

By Xiaodong Wang, Noureddine Berrah, Subodh Mathur, and Ferdinand Vinuya

This book outlines a sustainable energy path for six East Asian countries — China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam — over the next two decades, and presents policy tools and financing mechanisms to get there. With the right policies and financing, these countries could stabilize CO2 emissions by 2025, improve the local environment, and enhance energy security without compromising economic growth. To achieve this shift requires immediate government action on policy and institutional reforms to transform the energy sector towards much higher efficiency and more widespread use of low-carbon technologies, and transfer of substantial financing and low-carbon technologies from developed countries.

Gender Disparities in Africa’s Labor Market Edited by Jorge Saba Arbache, Alexandre Kolev, and Ewa Filipiak

Gender inequality in the labor market remains a pressing problem of contemporary Africa. Available evidence shows that in several countries of the region women are less likely to be in paid work, they are disproportionately concentrated in informal and precarious employment, and they are paid substantially less. This novel study, a collaboration between the World Bank and the Agence Française de Développement, fills an important knowledge gap by providing a comparative analysis of survey-data for 24 countries. It uses a comprehensive set of labor market indicators disaggregated by location, age groups, etc.

Gender Equality in Latin America and the Caribbean

By Laura Chioda and Roberto Garcia Verdú

This book focuses on explaining the apparent paradox observed in the Latin America and the Caribbean region of a closing gender gap in some important access indicators, such as education, health and labor force participation, coexisting with persistent gender gaps in other key outcomes such as wages and the continued concentration of women in certain sectors and occupations. By exploiting the exogenous changes introduced by policy interventions, the book focuses on estimating the impact of changes in bargaining power induced by changes in economic resources, time allocation, and legislation, on the intra-household allocation of resources and labor force participation decisions.

Demanding Good Governance

Development as Leadership-led Change

Lessons from Social Accountability Initiatives in Africa

By Matthew Andrews, Jesse McConnell, and Alison Wescott

A report for the Global Leadership Initiative

Edited by Mary McNeil and Carmen Malena

Accountability is the cornerstone of good governance. Unless public officials can be held to account, then critical benefits associated with good governance, such as social justice, poverty reduction and development remain elusive. The impacts of non-responsive and unaccountable governance are perhaps most harshly felt by the citizens of Africa, where corruption and governance failures are broadly acknowledged as a principal obstacle to the achievement.

Over the past decade, a range of social accountability practices—such as participatory budgeting, independent budget analysis, participatory monitoring of public expenditure and citizen evaluation of public services have been experimented with in many Africa countries. This volume makes a contribution towards filling a gap in the literature by describing and analyzing a selection of social accountability initiatives from seven Sub-Saharan countries.

Development involves change, but many development initiatives produce unimpressive results. This paper presents the findings of the Global Leadership Initiative Research study, which examines leadership in the change processes of fourteen capacity development interventions in eight developing countries. The study explores what it takes to make change happen in the context of development and in particular, the role leadership plays in effecting change. The authors propose that leadership contributes to change when it builds “change space” by fostering acceptance for change, granting authority for change, introducing or freeing the abilities necessary to achieve change.

The purpose of this book is to inform governance advisors about the vital role of the news media for governance reform. It approaches the issue of news media and governance with three broad questions: What ideal roles should media systems play to strengthen democratic governance and thus bolster human development? Under what conditions do media systems actually succeed or fail to fulfill these objectives? What policy interventions work most effectively to close the substantial gap that exists between the democratic promise and performance of the news media as an institution?

Building on Early Gains in Afghanistan’s Health, Nutrition, and Population Sector Challenges and Options Edited by Tekabe A. Belay

Afghanistan has made considerable progress since 2001. Despite this progress, much still remains to be done. Although progress in the health sector is encouraging, it is not sufficient to ensure that Afghanistan will achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This book presents specific policy options for the Ministry of Population and Health to consider to further build on the early gains made in the health sector.

The guiding principles of these options are consistency with the Ministry’s vision and feasibility on implementation. These policy options tell a story with the central theme of expanding service coverage and what the Ministry needs to do to make that happen. It provides a source of information for practitioners and researchers alike, bringing together the ever accumulating evidence and experience of the health sector, and suggesting ways of moving forward.

Pharmaceuticals are an essential component of health care. But for many people in low- and middle-income countries, access to the medicines they need to prevent or treat severe illnesses is limited. This book offers policy makers a hands-on approach, tested in the World Bank’s field work in many countries, for assessing the pharmaceutical sector, recognizing typical “patterns of dysfunction” and developing strategies to quickly deal with the most urgent problems while at the same time building a platform for sustainable long term policy. It offers examples from a variety of low- and middle income countries and provides practical assessment tools for policy makers. The book ends with the author’s outlook on future developments in this complex policy field.

Malnutrition in Afghanistan Scale, Scope, Causes, and Potential Response

By Emily Levitt, Kees Kostermans, Luc Laviolette, and Nkosinathi Mbuya

South Asia has the highest rates of malnutrition and the largest number of malnourished women and children in the world.

Childhood malnutrition is the main cause of child mortality— one-third of all child deaths are due to the underlying cause of malnutrition. This title provides the background analysis for the development of a comprehensive nutrition action plan.

This analytical report is part of a broader effort by the World Bank South Asia region to increase investments in nutrition, recognizing that good nutrition is important to economic growth and development, and because investing in well-proven nutrition interventions pays high dividends in poverty reduction and national economic development.

Where, Why, and for How Much?

Although HIV prevalence in South Asia is low, vulnerable groups such as sex workers, injecting drug users, and men who have sex with men are at high risk for HIV. Widespread stigma impede efforts to reach those most in need of HIV prevention, care and treatment services. This book highlights innovative stigma reduction strategies involving groups vulnerable to HIV in South Asia, providing recommendations for successful stigma reduction interventions to reduce barriers to effective HIV prevention, care and treatment programs. It is critical reading for all working on HIV prevention, care and treatment, from policy makers in national AIDS programs, to donors and program implementers, both within the South Asia region and globally.

Health, Nu trition, and Population Bestseller Characterizing the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa Time for Strategic Action

By Laith Abu-Raddad, Francisca Ayodeji Akala, Iris Semini, Gabriele Riedner, David Wilson, and Ousama Tawil

Very few HIV data are widely known on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. In the more than 25 years since the discovery of HIV, no scientific study has provided a comprehensive, data-driven

synthesis of the spread of HIV/AIDS in the region. This report provides the first-ever comprehensive scientific assessment and datadriven epidemiological synthesis of HIV’s spread in MENA. It is based on a literature review and analysis of thousands of largely unrecognized publications, reports, and data sources extracted from scientific literature or collected from sources at the local, national, and regional levels.

The resulting collection of data provides a solid foundation on which efforts to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS can be based. This title will be of particular interest to policy makers, researchers, development practitioners, and specialists in public health and epidemiology.

Infrastructure, Transport, and Urban Development Introducing

U rban D evelopment S eries The Urban Development Series discusses the challenge of urbanization and what it will mean for developing countries in the decades ahead. The Series aims to explore and delve more substantively into the core issues framed by the World Bank’s 2009 Urban Strategy, Systems of Cities: Harnessing Urbanization for Growth and Poverty Alleviation. Across the five domains of the Urban Strategy, the Series provides a focal point for publications that seek to foster a better understanding of (1) the core elements of the city system, (2) pro-poor policies, (3) city economies, (4) urban land and housing markets, (5) sustainable urban environment, and other urban issues germane to the urban development agenda for sustainable cities and communities.

Systems of Cities

Cities and Climate Change

Harnessing Urbanization for Growth and Poverty Alleviation

Answering an Urgent Agenda

Urbanization is a defining phenomenon of this century and the developing world is where this demographic transformation is taking place. Over 90 percent of urban growth is now occurring in the developing world and nearly two billion people will become urban residents in the next twenty years. This reality makes the World Bank’s Urban and Local Government Strategy presented in this book both relevant and compelling. The new strategy, structured around five thematic areas, suggests ways for developing countries to maximize the benefits of urbanization while avoiding the congestion costs. It delves into new programmatic approaches to urban poverty while embracing the challenge of the climate change agenda.

Skills for the Labor Market in the Philippines

By Emanuela Di Gropello, with Hong Tan and Prateek Tandon

The Philippines has experienced overall growth over these last twenty years, but the growth of the manufacturing sector has been sluggish and the country has lost innovation capacity. Regaining momentum will depend on many factors, but skills have a key role to play to support the growing service sector, improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, and, in general, enhance the longterm ability of the country to innovate, adapt, and assimilate

Discovering the Real World presents unique evidence on health workers’ career choices in Ethiopia. It shows that challenges like health workers’ limited willingness to work in a rural area, as well as their likelihood to migrate abroad vary substantially and are correlated with rural background, motivation, and job satisfaction.

A part of the global Moving Out of Poverty series, this book uncovers the links between violent conflict, poor people’s mobility and the economic, political and social factors which support rapid recovery and poverty reduction at the local level.

This book brings together the voices of poor men and women from 300 villages across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, as it seeks to understand how these people have managed to escape poverty, while others remain stuck, and still others fall into poverty. The study explores the role of institutions such as family, markets and local panchayats, and factors such as aspiration, empowerment, social exclusion and conflict, health and asset accumulation, in explaining escape from poverty and falling into poverty.

After more than a decade of development investments in monitoring and evaluation few countries are able to regularly report on how effective their policies and programs are in achieving the results they desire. It is not through lack of good monitoring and evaluation design, nor political mandates to support the effort, but from a lack of sustained management and delivery of effective monitoring and evaluation programs within established organizations. Building sustainable monitoring and evaluation systems will help improve the capacity of any organization committed to measure, monitor and manage development results.
