Abstract
The context in Ontario was encouraging for light-emitting diode (LED) programs at federal, provincial, and municipal levels. At the federal level, there were a number of incentive programs funded by the federal gas tax that municipalities tapped into for municipal energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades. The federal gas tax and a yearly transfer from the Government of Canada to each municipality based on population; it is an environmental measure aimed at reducing greenhouse gases. Independent electricity system operator (IESO) has a comprehensive master plan with ambitious energy efficiency goals, implemented with both environmental and economic rationales in mind. IESO’s conservation first framework, developed in 2014, maps out Ontario’s energy conservation goals from 2014 to 2020, emphasizing a coordinated effort within all stages of energy planning, as well as more effective teamwork among sector partners, particularly in support of local distribution companies (LDCs). The global adjustment mechanism fund covers various initiatives, including the province’s energy conservation and demand management programs. As part of this commitment to energy conservation, IESO provides very significant fiscal incentives of up to 30 percent for energy efficiency in the form of energy efficiency infrastructure rebates through a program called save on energy. It is possible that IESO will lower the amount of the outdoor lighting incentive, as it is known, to reflect the growing cost-competitiveness of LEDs in the market without incentives.

Publication Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-10)Birmingham’s light-emitting diode (LED) street lighting project is a small but integral component of a larger, innovative public-private infrastructure modernization effort - the Birmingham Highway Maintenance and Management Private Financing Initiative (HMMPFI) which the Birmingham City Council (BCC) signed with Amey plc on June 7, 2010. The modernization is being done under the PFI framework, which was created by the United Kingdom (UK) government to increase the availability of private financing for capital projects, and to transfer risk to the private sector through joint ventures and leasing agreements. The government has established a clear framework and tools around the PFI in England, including a standard form contract (the Standardization of PFI contract, or SoPC) that is mandatory for public sector use when creating PFI contracts. In the case of Birmingham, the private and public sectors came together in a partnership using private money to fund construction upgrades of the city’s infrastructure system according to set specifications. The partnership also included maintenance of the infrastructure for the remainder of the contract. Other entities, such as utilities, continue to have access to the asset to maintain their specific infrastructure within the public private partnership (PPP).Publication Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-10)This paper entitled with Municipal Financing Delivery Model in Quezon City,Philippines, is one in a series of seven knowledge products produced by ESMAP in an attempt to help cities work through the challenges associated with implementing LED public lighting programs. The publications include six case studies and a synthesis report which summarizes the case studies. Each case study describes the context in which decisions were made, then recounts the problems encountered andsolved to realize the implementation of the programs. The challenges include real-life examples of: cities managing to attract private sector participants toprovide necessary financing and technical expertise; programs implemented in municipalities that are not credit worthy and have limited policy and institutional support; small municipalities of about 2,500 residents as well as cities with several million residents; cities managing perceived risks; and cities effectively handling the measurement and verification of electricity savings accruing from the implementation of more efficient LEDs.Publication Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-10)Vizag at night is illuminated with 91,000 streetlights that are owned by GVMC. Before Cyclone Hudhud, most of the streetlights used high-pressure sodium-vapor (HPS) or tubular fluorescent lamp (TFLs) technologies. Within GVMC’s jurisdiction, there are 8 zones made up of 72 wards and approximately 4,000 manual points to switch the streetlights on and off. Maintenance was outsourced, with operation and replacement of streetlights handled through a dedicated customer care service center. Registered complaints were forwarded to the assistant engineer of the respective ward or zone and generally addressed within 72 hours. The replacement of HPS and TFL lamps with LED lamps resulted in energy savings of more than 50 percent, along with improvements in road illumination levels. In addition, a central control and monitoring system (CCMS) has been installed that controls the LED streetlights remotely, reduces the time for fault detection, and provides better control of switching and dimming to reduce energy consumption. The CCMS in Vizag is a ‘smart’ system, with information on each light available to be viewed and reported easily via a web-based tool. Vizag also uses the CCMS to measure energy savings, providing the municipality with much more information than they had previously about the energy consumption of their streetlights.Publication Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-10)Guadalajara, with a population of approximately 1.5 million, is the fourth largest city in Mexico and is located in the country’s central Pacific region. Until the implementation of the current street lighting retrofit project, the city’s outdated street lighting infrastructure had not been renovated in over 30 years. Lighting crews could not keep up with outages reported by citizens and there were many unlit areas around the city. This coincided with increasing crime rates, leading to an overall lack of safety in the city. The outdated infrastructure also required substantial spending on both maintenance and electricity for the streetlights. Street lighting represented approximately 18 percent of electricity consumption and paying for it was a significant component of the city’s budget. To help Guadalajara and other cities address the problem, Mexico’s national government established National Project for Energy Efficiency and Public Municipal Lighting (Proyecto Nacional de Eficiencia Energética en Alumbrado Público Municipal, or National Public Lighting Program). The program provides a significant amount of technical assistance to cities embarking on LED public lighting projects. This case study summarizes the implementation process of LED models for public lighting in Guadalajara.Publication Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-10)The project covers seven cities, encompassing nine urban local bodies: seven municipal corporations (MCs) and two urban improvement trusts (UITs). The urban local bodies are responsible for infrastructure improvements in the cities. The cities are spread across three states in central and northwestern India: Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. They range in size from 260,000 (Alwar) to 2.6 million (Pune), with most in the range of 300,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Institutionally, municipalities in India are under little regulatory obligation to improve lighting quality to meet standards. India’s Code of Practice for Lighting, created in 1970 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to establish lighting standards for categories of streets and roads, and has not been updated since 1981. Further, as USAID report from 2010 notes, ‘since these guidelines are not enforced by any regulatory authority, it is common for municipalities to be unaware of the standards, and many fail to comply.’ Consequently, project upgrades are not driven by regulatory compliance but by municipalities’ initiative to save operating funds on electricity and maintenance, and to improve street lighting quality.

Publication Remarks to the Annual Meetings 2020 Development Committee(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-10-16)David Malpass, President of the World Bank Group, announced that the Board approved a fast track approach to emergency health support programs that now covers 111 countries. Most projects are well advanced, with average disbursement upward of 40 percent. The goal is to take broad, fast action early. The operational framework presented back in June has positioned the Bank to help countries address immediate health threats and social and economic impacts and maintain our focus on long-term development. The Bank is making good progress toward the 15-month target of 160 billion dollars in surge financing. Much of it is for the poorest countries and will take the form of grants or low-rate, long-maturity loans. IFC, through the Global Health Platform, will be providing financing to vaccine manufacturers to foster expanded production of COVID-19 vaccines in both part 1 and 2 countries, providing production is reserved for emerging markets. The Development Committee holds a unique place in the international architecture. It is the only global forum in which the Governments of developed countries and the Governments of developing countries, creditor countries and borrower countries, come together to discuss development and the ‘net transfer of resources to developing countries.’ The current International Financial Architecture system is skewed in favor of the rich and creditor countries. It is important that all voices are heard, so Malpass urged the Ministers of developing countries to use their voice and speak their minds today. Malpass urged consideration of how we can build a new approach to debt restructuring that allows for a fair relationship and balance between creditors and debtors. This will be critical in restoring growth in developing countries; and helping reverse the inequality.Publication Doing Business 2014 : Understanding Regulations for Small and Medium-Size Enterprises(Washington, DC: World Bank Group, 2013-10-28)Eleventh in a series of annual reports comparing business regulation in 185 economies, Doing Business 2014 measures regulations affecting 11 areas of everyday business activity: Starting a business, Dealing with construction permits, Getting electricity, Registering property, Getting credit, Protecting investors, Paying taxes, Trading across borders, Enforcing contracts, Closing a business, Employing workers. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2013, ranks economies on their overall “ease of doing business”, and analyzes reforms to business regulation – identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most. The Doing Business reports illustrate how reforms in business regulations are being used to analyze economic outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and for the wider economy. Doing Business is a flagship product by the World Bank and IFC that garners worldwide attention on regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship. More than 60 economies use the Doing Business indicators to shape reform agendas and monitor improvements on the ground. In addition, the Doing Business data has generated over 870 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals since its inception.Publication Classroom Assessment to Support Foundational Literacy(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-03-21)This document focuses primarily on how classroom assessment activities can measure students’ literacy skills as they progress along a learning trajectory towards reading fluently and with comprehension by the end of primary school grades. The document addresses considerations regarding the design and implementation of early grade reading classroom assessment, provides examples of assessment activities from a variety of countries and contexts, and discusses the importance of incorporating classroom assessment practices into teacher training and professional development opportunities for teachers. The structure of the document is as follows. The first section presents definitions and addresses basic questions on classroom assessment. Section 2 covers the intersection between assessment and early grade reading by discussing how learning assessment can measure early grade reading skills following the reading learning trajectory. Section 3 compares some of the most common early grade literacy assessment tools with respect to the early grade reading skills and developmental phases. Section 4 of the document addresses teacher training considerations in developing, scoring, and using early grade reading assessment. Additional issues in assessing reading skills in the classroom and using assessment results to improve teaching and learning are reviewed in section 5. Throughout the document, country cases are presented to demonstrate how assessment activities can be implemented in the classroom in different contexts.Publication World Development Report 2011(World Bank, 2011)The 2011 World development report looks across disciplines and experiences drawn from around the world to offer some ideas and practical recommendations on how to move beyond conflict and fragility and secure development. The key messages are important for all countries-low, middle, and high income-as well as for regional and global institutions: first, institutional legitimacy is the key to stability. When state institutions do not adequately protect citizens, guard against corruption, or provide access to justice; when markets do not provide job opportunities; or when communities have lost social cohesion-the likelihood of violent conflict increases. Second, investing in citizen security, justice, and jobs is essential to reducing violence. But there are major structural gaps in our collective capabilities to support these areas. Third, confronting this challenge effectively means that institutions need to change. International agencies and partners from other countries must adapt procedures so they can respond with agility and speed, a longer-term perspective, and greater staying power. Fourth, need to adopt a layered approach. Some problems can be addressed at the country level, but others need to be addressed at a regional level, such as developing markets that integrate insecure areas and pooling resources for building capacity Fifth, in adopting these approaches, need to be aware that the global landscape is changing. Regional institutions and middle income countries are playing a larger role. This means should pay more attention to south-south and south-north exchanges, and to the recent transition experiences of middle income countries.Publication World Development Report 2006(Washington, DC, 2005)This year’s Word Development Report (WDR), the twenty-eighth, looks at the role of equity in the development process. It defines equity in terms of two basic principles. The first is equal opportunities: that a person’s chances in life should be determined by his or her talents and efforts, rather than by pre-determined circumstances such as race, gender, social or family background. The second principle is the avoidance of extreme deprivation in outcomes, particularly in health, education and consumption levels. This principle thus includes the objective of poverty reduction. The report’s main message is that, in the long run, the pursuit of equity and the pursuit of economic prosperity are complementary. In addition to detailed chapters exploring these and related issues, the Report contains selected data from the World Development Indicators 2005‹an appendix of economic and social data for over 200 countries. This Report offers practical insights for policymakers, executives, scholars, and all those with an interest in economic development.
