Abstract
The Country Opinion Survey for FY2013 in Democratic Republic of Congo assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Democratic Republic of Congo perceive the WBG. It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Democratic Republic of Congo on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Democratic Republic of Congo; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Democratic Republic of Congo; 3) overall impressions of the WBG s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Democratic Republic of Congo; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG s future role in Democratic Republic of Congo.

Publication Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors(Washington, DC: World Bank and Oxford University Press, 2006)This volume is a single up-to-date source on the entire global epidemiology of diseases, injuries and risk factors with a comprehensive statement of methods and a complete presentation of results. It includes refined methods to assess data, ensure epidemiological consistency, and summarize the disease burden. Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors examines the comparative importance of diseases, injuries, and risk factors; it incorporates a range of new data sources to develop consistent estimates of incidence, prevalence, severity and duration, and mortality for 136 major diseases and injuries. Drawing from more than 8,500 data sources that include epidemiological studies, disease registers, and notifications systems, this book incorporates information from more than 10,000 datasets relating to population health and mortality, representing one of the largest syntheses of global information on population health to date.Publication Empowering Migrant Women(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-11)Do undocumented forced migrants change their propensity to report or commit a crime when they are granted proper documentation, a job permit, and access to social services? This paper examines the impacts of a regularization program that granted temporary economic rights to over 281,000 undocumented Venezuelan forced migrants in Colombia. The program resulted in a general reduction in crimes committed by forced migrants, also while increasing the number of domestic abuse and sex crimes female migrants reported. These findings suggest that empowerment and greater trust in local authorities are key mechanisms driving the behavioral changes for females, while proper enforcement facilitated by adequate documentation and the positive income effects of the program reduced the general propensity for migrants to commit crimes.Publication Local Intermediate Inputs and the Shared Supplier Spillovers of Foreign Direct Investment(World Bank Group, Washington, DC, 2014-09)Trade liberalizations have been shown to improve domestic firms' performance through the new varieties of imported intermediate inputs. This paper uses a unique, representative sample of Bangladeshi garment firms to highlight that local intermediate inputs may also enhance domestic firms' performance, through the shared supplier spillovers of foreign direct investment (FDI) firms. An exogenous EU trade policy shock is shown to cause some FDI firms in Bangladesh to expand, which led to better performance of the domestic firms that shared their suppliers. Overall, the shared supplier spillovers of FDI explain 1/4 of the product scope expansion and 1/3 of the productivity gains within domestic firms.Publication Digital Africa(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-03-13)All African countries need better and more jobs for their growing populations. "Digital Africa: Technological Transformation for Jobs" shows that broader use of productivity-enhancing, digital technologies by enterprises and households is imperative to generate such jobs, including for lower-skilled people. At the same time, it can support not only countries’ short-term objective of postpandemic economic recovery but also their vision of economic transformation with more inclusive growth. These outcomes are not automatic, however. Mobile internet availability has increased throughout the continent in recent years, but Africa’s uptake gap is the highest in the world. Areas with at least 3G mobile internet service now cover 84 percent of Africa’s population, but only 22 percent uses such services. And the average African business lags in the use of smartphones and computers as well as more sophisticated digital technologies that catalyze further productivity gains. Two issues explain the usage gap: affordability of these new technologies and willingness to use them. For the 40 percent of Africans below the extreme poverty line, mobile data plans alone would cost one-third of their incomes—in addition to the price of access devices, apps, and electricity. Data plans for small- and medium-size businesses are also more expensive than in other regions. Moreover, shortcomings in the quality of internet services—and in the supply of attractive, skills-appropriate apps that promote entrepreneurship and raise earnings—dampen people’s willingness to use them. For those countries already using these technologies, the development payoffs are significant. New empirical studies for this report add to the rapidly growing evidence that mobile internet availability directly raises enterprise productivity, increases jobs, and reduces poverty throughout Africa. To realize these and other benefits more widely, Africa’s countries must implement complementary and mutually reinforcing policies to strengthen both consumers’ ability to pay and willingness to use digital technologies. These interventions must prioritize productive use to generate large numbers of inclusive jobs in a region poised to benefit from a massive, youthful workforce—one projected to become the world’s largest by the end of this century.Publication Maldives Country Climate and Development Report(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-06-27)The Maldives Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) analyses climate change and development challenges and opportunities in the country in an integrated manner. The report focuses on the Maldives achieving six high-level objectives: (1) improving macroeconomic stability and fiscal space to enable climate action, (2) mobilizing climate finance, (3) enhancing the climate resilience of islands and infrastructure, (4) enhancing the climate resilience of ecosystems, (5) enhancing the climate resilience of livelihoods (fishers and tourism), and (6) unlocking the development benefits from green transitions in energy, mobility, and waste sectors. The CCDR contributes original research into key dimensions of climate resilience in the Maldives, including sea-level rise impact modeling on land, infrastructure, and economic activities; ocean heating impact modeling on fishing and coral reef degradation; and survey work to understand climate change adaptation efforts of and associated challenges faced by tourist resorts. The recommendations presented in the CCDR will support the country in facilitating its climate resilience and green transitions, giving due consideration to the macroeconomic vulnerabilities at the time of releasing the report.
