Publication Mali - Public Expenditure Management and Financial Accountability Review : Public Financial Management Performance Report(World Bank, 2010-03-01)The public financial management (PFM) performance assessment in Mali covered all central government revenues and expenditures and the institutions responsible for their management. This means that the assessment covered central government ministries and institutions, along with their de concentrated units in the regions (governors' staff); and autonomous government agencies, of which there were 82 at the time of the assessment. The report consists of: a brief review of Mali's economic situation and the legal and institutional framework for public financial management (section two); a description of the background and the scores attributed to each PEFA performance indicator (section three); and a summary of the Government's reform program and the institutional factors that are likely to impact planning and implementation of reforms (section four).Publication Government of Tajikistan Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Assessment(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2012-11-23)Comparing this repeat Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment with the original 2007 assessment reveals overall improvement across most Performance Indicators, with slippage in some areas and no change in rating for others. This 2012 PEFA report also takes place at a time of considerable transition as various PFM reforms are either newly implemented or in the process of being implemented and close to being implemented (e.g. a new chart of accounts; a new supreme audit act; adoption of the medium term expenditure framework and the implementation of a Public Financial Management (PFM) Reform Program). The purpose of the assessment is to assess the PFM system performance of the Government of Tajikistan, using the PEFA assessment methodology, and to gauge progress in strengthening performance since the last PEFA assessment conducted in 2007. The results of the assessment will principally be used by the Government to determine whether the Public Financial Management Economic Management Modernization Program (PFMMP) that it is currently implementing should be refined.Publication Belarus Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability : Public Financial Management Performance Report(Washington, DC, 2014-06)The main objective of the present public financial management performance report (PFM-PR) is to provide the Government of Belarus with an objective up-to-date diagnostic of PFM performance based on the internationally recognized public expenditure and financial accountability (PEFA) methodology. The report is expected to inform the development of the government medium-term program for PFM reform. As a lead donor the World Bank provided a qualified team that undertook the assessment in accordance with the methodology and following the process described in the concept note agreed with the ministry of finance (MoF). The World Bank was also responsible for quality assurance of the PFM-PR using the standard procedures for Bank funded analytical work and PEFA check requirements. The report justifies the scoring and describes the analytical work which has been carried out and the sources of information used for each indicator. The report takes into account the changes in PFM performance since 2009 and documents the reasons for changes in indicator scores from the previous assessment. PEFA framework focuses primarily on the national level of a country s PFM system. At the national level it seeks to cover the entire PFM system, including cross-country issues, the revenue side, and the entire budget cycle from planning through execution to control, reporting, and audit. A number of indicators are designed to probe into how the national level interacts with sub-national governments and with public service providers at the local level.Publication Pakistan Punjab Province : Public Financial Management and Accountability Assessment(Islamabad: World Bank, 2013-06)This document reports on a Public Financial Management and Accountability Assessment (PFMAA) for the Government of the Punjab. The assessment was conducted with the particular objective of updating the PFMAA published in May 2007 to provide the Punjab Government with an objective, indicator-led assessment of the provincial Public Financial Management (PFM) system in a concise and standardized manner, to form an updated understanding of the overall fiduciary environment of the PFM system and to assist in identifying those areas in need of further reform and development. The assessment was conducted as per the revised PEFA PFM Performance Measurement Framework of 2011 (PEFA Framework). The scope of the current assessment was comprehensive with due consideration of the PEFA Secretariat guidance for repeat assessments. The PFMAA was conducted against 31 PFM performance management indicators (28 for government performance and 3 for donor practices) which are grouped into the critical dimensions of performance of an open and orderly PFM system.Publication Pakistan - Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Assessment of Federal Government(World Bank, 2010-06-01)This Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) Assessment applies the PEFA framework and methodology to provide a snapshot of the current status of the federal government's public financial management (PFM) system. The report makes no recommendations on policy matters it is specifically concerned with the status of the PFM system and issues relating to financial management processes. It does suggest weaknesses and strengths as well as possible priority areas to take advantage of strengths or to address higher-risk weaknesses. It makes no recommendations, however, on specific measures or action plans. The report provides a basis for these matters to be taken up subsequently, but, consistently with the PEFA framework, they should be subject to a separate discussion during the formulation of a government-led PFM reform agenda. The structure of the PFM performance report is as follows: chapter two gives background information and the country economic, fiscal, and institutional context. Chapter three provides details on each performance indicator (PI) score. Chapter four summarizes the government's ongoing PFM reform programs. Annex one gives a summary of the PEFA assessment; annex two provides sources of information, including a list of documents reviewed and officials consulted; and annex three shows key organizational elements of Pakistan's PFM structure.

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 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.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.
