Publication Offshore Wind Development Program(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-09)Globally, offshore wind (OSW) technology delivers large volumes of energy from GW-scale projects at prices competitive with those of new-build conventional generation technologies. Romania already has 3 GW of installed onshore wind capacity and a sufficiently vigorous offshore wind resource that could produce more energy than Romania will ever need. This report highlights the potential for up to 7 GW of OSW capacity, located at least 50 km from shore and mostly in relatively shallow water, that could be constructed from the early 2030s, using Romania’s well-equipped port facilities, steel-based supply chain and other local workers. Although the Black Sea is not as windy as much of the sea area in northern Europe, it is likely that a regional market will establish, with the development of projects in the exclusive economic zones of Bulgaria, Türkiye and Ukraine. The regional and the global OSW markets will offer further opportunities for Romanian suppliers. Environmental impacts are a key consideration, beyond the reduction in carbon dioxide production and water use relative to conventional generation technologies. A key uncertainty in Romania in this regard is around avian migration routes to/from the wetlands of the Danube Delta.Publication Making Offshore Wind Work(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-10)This report distils experiences from established offshore wind markets into key success factors to help emerging markets build successful offshore wind sectors. It is designed to share international good practice while recognizing the unique contexts of each country. The key factors described here are, therefore, directional rather than prescriptive. This resource has been developed for government officials and stakeholders in low- and middle-income countries. However, many of the issues and key factors are equally applicable to other countries. Any country interested in exploiting its offshore wind energy resources needs to answer the fundamental question “should we develop offshore wind?” The answer to this question will vary from one country to another, depending on the country’s priorities and the feasibility and viability of offshore wind in that country. Before embarking on a journey towards offshore wind deployment, it is important for governments to consider how offshore wind could fit into the country’s long-term energy strategy. Separate guidance on the topic of feasibility is available. The development of an offshore wind sector relies on many different stakeholders playing important and complementary roles; from politicians setting out strategies to port owners planning new facilities. As such, the report highlights information relevant to each stakeholder group while also providing a holistic understanding of how the different parts are woven into the big picture.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 Behavioral Solutions for Successful Subsidy Reform(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-07-30)Governments need sustainable funding to operate effectively, uphold their social contract with citizens, and provide public goods to foster citizens’ well-being and development. When tailored effectively, subsidies for energy, food, and other goods can have beneficial effects, such as promoting positive behaviors by citizens or supporting strategic policy shifts, like pivots to green technologies. On the other hand, subsidies often are costly and inefficient. As a result, they can have net-negative social, environmental, and economic effects, and undermine broader governmental objectives. This policy note, a practical guide for policymakers and practitioners charged with subsidy reform, analyzes why reforming net-harmful subsidy schemes faces steep resistance among the general public and explores solutions to these challenges. The note draws on research and relevant case studies to distill factors associated with the success or failure of reform efforts. Drawing on this evidence and the World Bank’s Energy Sector Reform Assessment Framework (ESRAF), the authors apply a behavioral lens to identify barriers to public support of subsidy reform and potential levers to overcome resistance. Finally, they synthesize key lessons from existing behavioral evidence to propose a set of practical solutions policymakers can adopt to implement subsidy reforms with stronger public support while upholding societal and political legitimacy.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 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.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 World Development Report 1984(New York: Oxford University Press, 1984)Long-term needs and sustained effort are underlying themes in this year's report. As with most of its predecessors, it is divided into two parts. The first looks at economic performance, past and prospective. The second part is this year devoted to population - the causes and consequences of rapid population growth, its link to development, why it has slowed down in some developing countries. The two parts mirror each other: economic policy and performance in the next decade will matter for population growth in the developing countries for several decades beyond. Population policy and change in the rest of this century will set the terms for the whole of development strategy in the next. In both cases, policy changes will not yield immediate benefits, but delay will reduce the room for maneuver that policy makers will have in years to come.Publication World Development Report 1994(New York: Oxford University Press, 1994)World Development Report 1994, the seventeenth in this annual series, examines the link between infrastructure and development and explores ways in which developing countries can improve both the provision and the quality of infrastructure services. In recent decades, developing countries have made substantial investments in infrastructure, achieving dramatic gains for households and producers by expanding their access to services such as safe water, sanitation, electric power, telecommunications, and transport. Even more infrastructure investment and expansion are needed in order to extend the reach of services - especially to people living in rural areas and to the poor. But as this report shows, the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. Improving the quality of infrastructure service also is vital. Both quantity and quality improvements are essential to modernize and diversify production, help countries compete internationally, and accommodate rapid urbanization. The report identifies the basic cause of poor past performance as inadequate institutional incentives for improving the provision of infrastructure. To promote more efficient and responsive service delivery, incentives need to be changed through commercial management, competition, and user involvement. Several trends are helping to improve the performance of infrastructure. First, innovation in technology and in the regulatory management of markets makes more diversity possible in the supply of services. Second, an evaluation of the role of government is leading to a shift from direct government provision of services to increasing private sector provision and recent experience in many countries with public-private partnerships is highlighting new ways to increase efficiency and expand services. Third, increased concern about social and environmental sustainability has heightened public interest in infrastructure design and performance. This report includes the World Development Indicators, which offer selected social and economic statistics for 132 countries.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.
