Abstract
This report presents the findings from a national energy survey conducted in Rwanda in June 2022, which followed up on an inaugural energy survey conducted in 2016. The survey captured the status of access to electricity and clean cooking among Rwandan households, including those of refugees, and also among public institutions. Survey results were analyzed using the multi-tier framework (MTF) for energy access, which measures energy access across six levels (Tier 0 to Tier 5) instead of evaluating it based on a binary definition, having access or not, and explores the multi-dimensional nature of energy access and the diverse technologies and sources that can provide it. Findings from this analysis based on full-spectrum data can inform energy policy designs in Rwanda, empower data-driven policy making, and aid in advancing toward Goal 7 of the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations: to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030.

Publication Pakistan Energy Survey - Insights into the True Energy Access Situation in Pakistan Based on the Multi-Tier Framework(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-07-03)This report is based on an extensive energy survey commissioned by the World Bank and carried out across Pakistan during 2021-2022. The survey has enabled a comprehensive analysis of electricity access and clean cooking in Pakistan using the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) for Energy Access. The findings provide valuable insights into the current state of access to electricity for households, public institutions, and microenterprises, as well as access to clean cooking solutions across the country. This is the first such survey to be conducted in the country, and it provides granular information on the extent of energy access in Pakistan. This is critical for informing progress toward achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), which includes universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services by 2030. The findings can also help inform policy-making by the federal and provincial governments in Pakistan in support of universal energy access.Publication The World Bank Group in Ukraine, 2012–20 - Country Program Evaluation(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2022-11-08)This Country Program Evaluation (CPE) reviews the World Bank Group’s partnership with Ukraine during 2012–20. While the evaluation was completed by the time hostilities broke out in Ukraine in February 2022, its disclosure was halted until now given the extraordinary situation in the country. IEG adapted the lessons identified in the CPE to more directly inform the World Bank Group’s support for recovery and reconstruction in Ukraine. The report especially focuses on three of the main challenges faced by Ukraine during the evaluation period in which the Bank Group played a significant role: governance and anticorruption; crisis response and economic resilience; and energy security and efficiency.Publication Scaling Up Global Partnerships(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-05-16)This document recognizes and celebrates the partnership between the AFD Group and the World Bank Group (WBG), which is a model of international development cooperation. The partnership is now scaling up to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change, poverty, and inequality. By joining forces and aligning efforts, the two institutions are addressing socioeconomic progress, building stability and security in fragile settings, investing in health and education to strengthen countries’ human capital, and taking a strong and resolute stand on the climate crisis. The document summarizes the partnership between AFD Group and the World Bank Group, then highlights examples of successful collaboration at various levels of engagement from global and thematic to country and project levels. It concludes with suggestions to replicate and scale up the partnership’s success. The partnership was ahead of its time and now serves as an exemplary model. At a time when the international development community is emphasizing the importance of partnerships to maximize the use of limited official development assistance (ODA) funds and shared global knowledge, the partnership stands out with its successful record of accomplishment for more than a decade.Publication Achieving Sustainable and Inclusive Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM)(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-09-16)Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has played an increasingly active role in national development and international trade over the decades. As of 2024, those engaged directly and indirectly in the sector’s labor value chain make up more than 225 million people working across Latin and South America, Africa, and Asia. Studies estimate that women account for between 18 percent and 50 percent of the 45 million people who work directly in ASM. Artisanal and small-scale miners work in diverse mineral supply chains - ranging from well-known minerals and metals such as gold, cobalt, copper, and semiprecious and precious gemstones to lesser-known materials such as salt, gravel, and quarry rock. Growth in the share of artisanal or small-scale mined material has grown significantly. In short, ASM is vital to global prosperity and poverty reduction, but the sector must also lead in environmental stewardship. As heard from miners and other stakeholders, safety and well-being along with environmental stewardship, increased domestic revenues, and improved productivity will be important outcomes to judge success. These are the incentives that will help development efforts be taken up more readily and widely by ASM actors and governments themselves. World Bank support to country clients will need to be more adaptive in their funding timelines, with a view to scaling from the start to achieve outcomes in the most effective and lean way possible. Importantly, World Bank interventions should be more participatory and ASM actor-centered, given time and resources to build the trust and create incentives for behavior change.Publication World Bank Group Support to Ghana, Fiscal Years 2013–23 (Approach Paper)(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-28)This Country Program Evaluation (CPE) will assess the performance of World Bank Group support to Ghana in achieving its development objectives between fiscal years (FY)13 and FY23. The evaluation period spans two Bank Group–supported country strategies—the FY13–16 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), which was extended by two years to FY18, and the current FY22–26 Country Partnership Framework (CPF). The CPE will assess the relevance, coherence, and efficacy of the Bank Group support to help Ghana tackle its main development challenges, including by examining how the Bank Group adapted its engagement in response to changing conditions, priorities, and lessons from experience. In addition to assessing the evolution of the overarching strategy of support and its implementation and impact, the evaluation will assess the Bank Group’s contribution to supporting Ghana in terms of three important thematic challenges faced over the evaluation period.

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 Lebanon Economic Monitor, Fall 2022(Washington, DC, 2022-11)The economy continues to contract, albeit at a somewhat slower pace. Public finances improved in 2021, but only because spending collapsed faster than revenue generation. Testament to the continued atrophy of Lebanon’s economy, the Lebanese Pound continues to depreciate sharply. The sharp deterioration in the currency continues to drive surging inflation, in triple digits since July 2020, impacting the poor and vulnerable the most. An unprecedented institutional vacuum will likely further delay any agreement on crisis resolution and much needed reforms; this includes prior actions as part of the April 2022 International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff-level agreement (SLA). Divergent views among key stakeholders on how to distribute the financial losses remains the main bottleneck for reaching an agreement on a comprehensive reform agenda. Lebanon needs to urgently adopt a domestic, equitable, and comprehensive solution that is predicated on: (i) addressing upfront the balance sheet impairments, (ii) restoring liquidity, and (iii) adhering to sound global practices of bail-in solutions based on a hierarchy of creditors (starting with banks’ shareholders) that protects small depositors.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.Publication The Journey Ahead(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-31)The Journey Ahead: Supporting Successful Migration in Europe and Central Asia provides an in-depth analysis of international migration in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) and the implications for policy making. By identifying challenges and opportunities associated with migration in the region, it aims to inform a more nuanced, evidencebased debate on the costs and benefits of cross-border mobility. Using data-driven insights and new analysis, the report shows that migration has been an engine of prosperity and has helped address some of ECA’s demographic and socioeconomic disparities. Yet, migration’s full economic potential remains untapped. The report identifies multiple barriers keeping migration from achieving its full potential. Crucially, it argues that policies in both origin and destination countries can help maximize the development impacts of migration and effectively manage the economic, social, and political costs. Drawing from a wide range of literature, country experiences, and novel analysis, The Journey Ahead presents actionable policy options to enhance the benefits of migration for destination and origin countries and migrants themselves. Some measures can be taken unilaterally by countries, whereas others require close bilateral or regional coordination. The recommendations are tailored to different types of migration— forced displacement as well as high-skilled and low-skilled economic migration—and from the perspectives of both sending and receiving countries. This report serves as a comprehensive resource for governments, development partners, and other stakeholders throughout Europe and Central Asia, where the richness and diversity of migration experiences provide valuable insights for policy makers in other regions of the world.Publication Argentina Country Climate and Development Report(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2022-11)The Argentina Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) explores opportunities and identifies trade-offs for aligning Argentina’s growth and poverty reduction policies with its commitments on, and its ability to withstand, climate change. It assesses how the country can: reduce its vulnerability to climate shocks through targeted public and private investments and adequation of social protection. The report also shows how Argentina can seize the benefits of a global decarbonization path to sustain a more robust economic growth through further development of Argentina’s potential for renewable energy, energy efficiency actions, the lithium value chain, as well as climate-smart agriculture (and land use) options. Given Argentina’s context, this CCDR focuses on win-win policies and investments, which have large co-benefits or can contribute to raising the country’s growth while helping to adapt the economy, also considering how human capital actions can accompany a just transition.
