Abstract
This report presents an analysis of the waste management system of Hrazdan Community. It investigates the quantities of municipal waste generated and makes a projection what would be the waste generation in the next 20-year period of time. It also provides a description of the solid waste management (SWM) system in place in terms of operations, infrastructure and facilities in place, institutional arrangements, currents costs incurred and financing of the waste management system. Besides, this report tries to provide a critical overview of the municipal waste management sector in Hrazdan Community and outline specific areas for improvement. Three different scenarios of an improved waste management system are analyzed in the report. The analysis points to potential efficiency gains that could be achieved and presents the cost implications of improved waste operations. The report concludes with recommendations about the steps that could be undertaken by the community to improve the overall performance of the waste management system in the short- and medium-terms.

Publication Armenia SWM Sector Assessment and Reform Plan(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-19)Waste management is a challenging sector to govern. The sector involves the day-to-day delivery of services that are vital to protecting public health and the environment. Regular and reliable waste management services underpin quality of life in municipalities, and contributes to Armenia’s attractiveness as a place to live, work and invest in. Integrated waste management comprises complex and inter-linked services, from cleaning of public spaces, collection and transfer, and recovery and disposal. Waste is highly diverse in nature and composition. Most products purchased and consumed will eventually give rise to waste of some kind, from municipal solid waste (generated from households, commercial, and institutional sources), to construction and demolition waste, end of life vehicles, health care waste, batteries, and electronic waste. Significant progress has been made in Armenia in recent years, with collection service nearing universal coverage of the population. A significant number of unauthorized waste disposal sites have been closed over the past few years. Still, in many areas, the waste sector in Armenia is not performing well enough when compared to the best international standards. This sector assessment report provides a critical overview of the municipal waste management sector in the country and identifies specific areas for improvement.Publication Armenia SWM Sector Assessment and Reform Plan(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-11-25)The present report presents an analysis of the waste management system of Gyumri city. It investigates the quantities of municipal waste generated and makes a projection of what would be the demand in the next 20-year period of time. It also provides a description of the solid waste management (SWM) system in place in terms of operations, infrastructure and facilities in place, institutional arrangements, and currents costs incurred and financing of the waste management system. Besides, this Report tries to provide a critical overview of the communal waste management sector in the city of Gyumri and outline specific areas for improvement. Four different scenarios of an improved waste management system are analyzed in the report. The analysis points to potential efficiency gains that could be achieved and presents the cost implications of improved waste operations. The report concludes with recommendations about the steps that could be undertaken by the city to improve the overall performance of the waste management system in the short- and medium-terms.Publication Armenia SWM Sector Assessment and Reform Plan(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-11-25)This report presents an analysis of Yerevan's waste management system.

At least two-thirds of the global extreme poor will be living in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCS) by 2030. Geographies dominated by latent, manifest, and escalating violent conflict receive 80 percent of all financing available to humanitarian organizations globally. Violent conflict has spiked dramatically in the last decade, and the global fragility footprint continues to grow and is followed by increasing complexity. The latest global developments add to a multitude of risks and long-lasting impacts on FCV, and these are linked and/or exacerbated by variability and climate change (e.g., food insecurity, environmental degradation, inequalities in access to natural resources, and migration).Publication Armenia Waste Sector Reform Plan(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-11-25)Waste management is a challenging sector to govern.

Publication Fixing the Foundation(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-09-20)Countries in middle-income East Asia and the Pacific were already experiencing serious learning deficits prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-related school disruptions have only made things worse. Learning poverty -- defined as the percentage of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand an age-appropriate text -- is as high as 90 percent in several countries. Several large Southeast Asian countries consistently perform well below expectations on adolescent learning assessments. This report examines key factors affecting student learning in the region, with emphasis on the central role of teachers and teaching quality. It also analyzes the role education technologies, which came into widespread use during the pandemic, and examines the political economy of education reform. The report presents recommendations on how countries can strengthen teaching to improve learning and, in doing so, can enhance productivity, growth, and future development in the region.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 Business Ready 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-03)Business Ready (B-READY) is a new World Bank Group corporate flagship report that evaluates the business and investment climate worldwide. It replaces and improves upon the Doing Business project. B-READY provides a comprehensive data set and description of the factors that strengthen the private sector, not only by advancing the interests of individual firms but also by elevating the interests of workers, consumers, potential new enterprises, and the natural environment. This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.Publication Services Unbound(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-09)Services are a new force for innovation, trade, and growth in East Asia and Pacific. The dramatic diffusion of digital technologies and partial policy reforms in services--from finance, communication, and transport to retail, health, and education--is transforming these economies. The result is higher productivity and changing jobs in the services sector, as well as in the manufacturing sectors that use these services. A region that has thrived through openness to trade and investment in manufacturing still maintains innovation-inhibiting barriers to entry and competition in key services sectors. 'Services Unbound: Digital Technologies and Policy Reform in East Asia and Pacific' makes the case for deeper domestic reforms and greater international cooperation to unleash a virtuous cycle of increased economic opportunity and enhanced human capacity that would power development in the region.Publication Global Economic Prospects, June 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-06-11)After several years of negative shocks, global growth is expected to hold steady in 2024 and then edge up in the next couple of years, in part aided by cautious monetary policy easing as inflation gradually declines. However, economic prospects are envisaged to remain tepid, especially in the most vulnerable countries. Risks to the outlook, while more balanced, are still tilted to the downside, including the possibility of escalating geopolitical tensions, further trade fragmentation, and higher-for-longer interest rates. Natural disasters related to climate change could also hinder activity. Subdued growth prospects across many emerging market and developing economies and continued risks underscore the need for decisive policy action at the global and national levels. Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing economies, on a semiannual basis (in January and June). Each edition includes analytical pieces on topical policy challenges faced by these economies.
