Abstract
This brief explores trends in health expenditure and resource allocation in Mozambique between 2014 and 2018. It establishes a baseline for future assessments, with the objective of ensuring that resources continue to shift in alignment with the priorities laid out in the 2017 investment case for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N). This analysis can be carried out annually using the data produced by routine information and management systems.

Publication Madagascar 2014 Public Expenditure Review(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2015)Madagascar’s education system exhibits severe weaknesses that leave a large number of children without the basic skills required to function in the labor market. Since the start of the political and economic crisis in 2009, progress made on key health indicators has stagnated or is being reversed with Madagascar falling off track to achieve the MDGs. The prevalence of chronic malnutrition among children under five is one of the highest in the world. Maternal mortality ratios also have remained relatively high and stagnant over the last ten years and the country.Publication Tajikistan - Second Programmatic Public Expenditure Review : Volume 4. Public Expenditure Ttracking Survey (PETS), Health Sector(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008-06-12)This report, Second Programmatic Public Expenditure Review (PPER 2), is a sequel to PPER, which was published in July 2007. PPER 2 provides a detailed analysis of key public expenditure issues in Tajikistan and reports on the nonlending policy dialogue and technical assistance programs managed and coordinated by the World Bank. PPER 2 has a special focus on social sectors, especially the health and education sectors. Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS) carried out for the first time in Tajikistan in 2007 contributed to the findings in this report. The report also updates the macroeconomic and fiscal situation to take account of important developments in 2007 and analyzes the implications of energy sector reforms and investments for fiscal sustainability. This report is intended to contribute to improving the quality of life in Tajikistan through a comprehensive reform program. It spells out the macroeconomic, energy, and budget reforms necessary to achieve the growth the country seeks and, at the same time (and frequently via the same measures) the social welfare targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).Publication Mozambique : Public Expenditure Review, Phase 2. Sectoral Expenditures(Washington, DC, 2003-09-22)This is the second (and final) phase of the Public Expenditure Review (PER) for Mozambique. The first phase, initiated in 2000 and completed in 2001 , and termed the Public Expenditure Management Review (PEMR), dealt with the financial management system (see report no. 22985). It developed a large agenda for reform in all of the parts of the expenditure cycle: budgeting, execution, accounting, and auditing. Jointly with the Mozambican authorities, a final report was produced which included a time-bound action plan. This, the second phase of the PER, covers aspects of sectoral spending in four major sectors: education, health, roads and water. These sectors were selected because they account for 51 percent of government spending and for 56 percent of the civil service, and are among the six "fundamental areas of action" in the Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty (termed PARPA, viz. Mozambique's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper-report no. 22664). This second phase of the PER also provides an update about progress with the action plan of the first phase, the PEMR. Finally, it reports briefly on a pilot expenditure tracking exercise carried out in the specific case of health, the Expenditure Tracking and Service Delivery Survey'. The PER is a joint product of the Government and the Bank, each taking the lead in different sectors. The main objectives of the PER 2nd phase are to examine allocative efficiency and cost-effectiveness, as well as the poverty orientation of spending. Among the yardsticks used for examining the rate of service delivery are the targets set in the Government's PARPA and also the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The scope of the inquiry is limited. Agriculture is omitted. And concerning HIV/AIDS, research was done on the disease in general, on its macroeconomic impact, and on its impact in the educational sector, and some information was generated on its impact in the health sector. But a major study on HIV/AIDS and its impact on the health sector, and measures to be taken, is due to start during 2003. It was not possible to reflect the results of this study in the PER.Publication Mozambique PFM for Results Program : Technical Assessment(Washington, DC, 2014-01)The discovery of large natural resource reserves in Mozambique has raised expectations of increased economic growth, improved public services and poverty reduction. However, the majority of the population has benefited little from growth in recent years, and may be skeptical that the potential for increased government revenues will translate into improved services. The development potential of future natural resource revenues will partially depend on stronger PFM systems, as well as political commitment to broad based social and economic development. A gap between political rhetoric and improvements in the everyday lives of the population may fuel potential for social unrest. Similarly, changing development partner circumstances (both funding constraints and changing modalities) and perceptions of Mozambique s development trajectory may lead to a drop in the levels of assistance, in advance of actual increases in revenue (it is still some years before natural resources will reach market). The Government needs to respond to both popular expectations and a changing partner environment. This creates a window of opportunity to increase government focus on the effective management of public resources and improved service delivery.Publication Mozambique : Public Expenditure Management Review(Washington, DC, 2001-12)Improving budget management in Mozambique requires a set of actions in the area of fiscal policy at the macroeconomic level, as well as specific measures to deal with contingent liabilities and to address issues related to intergovernmental fiscal relations. At the same time, a new round of reforms in the way the budget is formulated, executed, controlled, and accounted for is also required to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the use of public resources. This report is organized as follows: The first part of this report offers an analysis of fiscal topics at the aggregate level and discusses cross-cutting issues--recent trends of fiscal policy, medium-run sustainability, contingent liabilities and intergovernmental fiscal relations. Part 2 deals with the budget management system, covering budget formulation, execution, evaluation, and audit. Issues related to public accounting, reporting, cash management, and internal control and auditing are reviewed in this context. It describes the current system, highlights the major issues, describes government's efforts to address them and proposes concrete recommendations for further action.

Publication Macroeconomic and Fiscal Implications of Population Aging in Bulgaria(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-02)Bulgaria is in the midst of a serious demographic transition that will shrink its population at one of the highest rates in the world within the next few decades. This study analyzes the macroeconomic and fiscal implications of this demographic transition by using a long-term model, which integrates the demographic projections with social security, fiscal and real economy dimensions in a consistent manner. The simulations suggest that, even under fairly optimistic assumptions, Bulgaria's demographic transition will exert significant fiscal pressures and depress the economic growth in the medium and long term. However, the results also demonstrate that the Government of Bulgaria can play a significant role in mitigating some of these effects. Policies that induce higher labor force participation, promote productivity and technological improvement, and provide better education outcomes are found to counteract the negative consequences of the demographic shift.Publication World Development Report 2019(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2019)Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.Publication Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2024: Better Education for Stronger Growth(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-17)Economic growth in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) is likely to moderate from 3.5 percent in 2023 to 3.3 percent this year. This is significantly weaker than the 4.1 percent average growth in 2000-19. Growth this year is driven by expansionary fiscal policies and strong private consumption. External demand is less favorable because of weak economic expansion in major trading partners, like the European Union. Growth is likely to slow further in 2025, mostly because of the easing of expansion in the Russian Federation and Turkiye. This Europe and Central Asia Economic Update calls for a major overhaul of education systems across the region, particularly higher education, to unleash the talent needed to reinvigorate growth and boost convergence with high-income countries. Universities in the region suffer from poor management, outdated curricula, and inadequate funding and infrastructure. A mismatch between graduates' skills and the skills employers are seeking leads to wasted potential and contributes to the region's brain drain. Reversing the decline in the quality of education will require prioritizing improvements in teacher training, updated curricula, and investment in educational infrastructure. In higher education, reforms are needed to consolidate university systems, integrate them with research centers, and provide reskilling opportunities for adult workers.Publication State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-05-21)This report provides an up-to-date overview of existing and emerging carbon pricing instruments around the world, including international, national, and subnational initiatives. It also investigates trends surrounding the development and implementation of carbon pricing instruments and some of the drivers seen over the past year. Specifically, this report covers carbon taxes, emissions trading systems (ETSs), and crediting mechanisms. Key topics covered in the 2024 report include uptake of ETSs and carbon taxes in low- and middle- income economies, sectoral coverage of ETSs and carbon taxes, and the use of crediting mechanisms as part of the policy mix.Publication Supporting Youth at Risk(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008)The World Bank has produced this policy Toolkit in response to a growing demand from our government clients and partners for advice on how to create and implement effective policies for at-risk youth. The author has highlighted 22 policies (six core policies, nine promising policies, and seven general policies) that have been effective in addressing the following five key risk areas for young people around the world: (i) youth unemployment, underemployment, and lack of formal sector employment; (ii) early school leaving; (iii) risky sexual behavior leading to early childbearing and HIV/AIDS; (iv) crime and violence; and (v) substance abuse. The objective of this Toolkit is to serve as a practical guide for policy makers in middle-income countries as well as professionals working within the area of youth development on how to develop and implement an effective policy portfolio to foster healthy and positive youth development.
