Abstract
The forestry sector in Moldova faces significant governance and sustainability challenges. The insufficient level of forest coverage in Moldova has a serious impact on environment and overall economic growth in the country. The situation is exacerbated by the reportedly intense pressure on forest resources exerted by the human factor. Illegal logging and grazing are considered as significant factors that contribute to forest loss. There is a lack of public demand for sustainable forest management. Social accountability (SA) has been recognized as an effective mechanism to improve government service delivery and enhance developmental impact. SA mechanisms entail a broad range of approaches that enable citizens to access governmental information, lodge grievances and receive redress, oversee the provision of governmental services, and take an active part in management and decision-making processes. This report aims to review SA mechanisms that are currently available in the forestry sector in Moldova and identify opportunities for improvement.

Publication Political Economy of the Mining Sector in Ghana(2011-07-01)With a focus on the institutional set-up and the political environment as central to understanding and rectifying the poor impact of mining on Ghana's economic development, this paper highlights the vulnerabilities in mining sector governance along the industry value chain. The authors explain why it has been difficult to implement policies that would have improved social welfare. They find that incentive problems in institutions directly or peripherally involved in mining governance are a major factor, as are an excessively centralized policy-making process, a powerful executive president, strong party loyalty, a system of political patronage, lack of transparency, and weak institutional capacity at the political and regulatory levels. The paper argues that the net impact of mining on economic development is likely to be enhanced with appropriate reforms in governance. Most importantly, there should be a greater awareness of incentive problems at the political level and their possible implications for sector performance and the economy at large. The set of checks and balances, as stipulated by the Constitution, have to be reinforced. Furthermore, capacity building at different levels and institutions is needed and should be combined with efforts to enhance incentives for institutional performance.Publication Comunity Based Development and Infrastructure in Timor-Leste : Past Experiences and Future Opportunities(Washington, DC, 2012)This paper examines the opportunities, challenges and constraints of undertaking community-based development (CBD) programming in Timor-Leste, particularly through the lens of community-based provision of economically productive infrastructure. During an extended period of weak central governance in the aftermath of Timor Leste s turbulent independence struggle, external actors mainly foreign donor agencies and international NGOs broadly favoring a community-based approach played a dominant role in the country s reconstruction. In light of Timor Leste s political history and geographic isolation, it is not surprising that weak social capital and logistical obstacles have hampered CBD efforts, leaving Timor Leste with a mixed track record of success. Based on a longitudinal stock taking of CBD projects and face-to-face interviews with key actors in government, NGOs and the donor community, three specific initiatives are examined in detail with a view to elucidating key successes, constraints and opportunities as well as lessons learned that can inform the shifting policy environment.Publication Republic of Benin Country Environmental Analysis(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2010-08)This report is the product of a comprehensive study on Benin. It highlights the country s geographical and economic situation and concentrates in particular on environmental conditions and the challenges facing Benin. This report covers the financing of priority environmental activities, as well as allocations to programs designed to improve the environment and living conditions of the population. The environmental analysis of Benin seeks to help the Government integrate the environment into policy formulation by analyzing cross-cutting aspects and the challenges of implementing sound environmental management, and creating a platform for strengthening the country s capacities in order to facilitate sustainable natural resource and environmental management. To this end, a number of measures have been recommended, among them the establishment of effective policies and institutions based on sound governance and improved effectiveness, and the mobilization of financing for environmental protection and natural resource management. The study includes the analysis of a case study on three cities: Porto-Novo, Cotonou, and Parakou, and examines the impact of environmental problems and environmental management challenges on these cities.Publication Ghana : Country Environmental Analysis(Washington, DC, 2007-11-02)The Ghana Country Environment Analysis (CEA) has thus been formulated to assist the Government of Ghana and its development partners to: (a) assess the country's environmental priorities in key sectors, the environmental implications of key economic and sector policies, and the country's institutional capacity to address them; and (b) find practical management, institutional, and policy solutions to handle issues of natural resource management, environmental degradation, and sustainability of growth. Based on the results of the sectoral analysis, the key messages of the CEA can be summarized as follows: strengthening environmental governance is key to ensuring that natural resources contribute to greater wealth and sustainable growth; removing policy, regulatory, and institutional bottlenecks is crucial for reducing vulnerability of the poor in both rural and urban areas; reinforcing coordination and dialogue to mainstream ENRM is critical; and ministries, departments, and agencies in all the natural resource and environment sectors face common challenges.Publication Governance of Natural Resources in the Philippines : Lessons from the Past, Directions for the Future(Washington, DC, 2003-11-01)T his report analyzes natural resource management and governance in the Philippines, identifying recent trends, current challenges, and future goals. The first half of the report summarizes the status of the country's natural resources, describes sector policies, institutions, and budget mechanisms, and identifies impediments to improvements. The second half focuses on three crucial issues for natural resource governance: property rights, institutions, and financing. As part of its analysis of these three overarching issues, the report considers cross-cutting governance concepts such as participation, accountability, transparency, corruption, and service delivery. The report's final section offers conclusions and recommendations.

Publication Poland - Mazowieckie Public Expenditure Review Local Responses to the Global Economic Crisis(World Bank, 2010-04-29)This report examines the fiscal prospects of major units of sub-national government in the voivodship (province) of Mazowieckie and proposes a series of reforms in recurrent spending and capital investment planning. Mazowieckie, the seat of Warsaw, is the heart of the Polish economy. While Poland is weathering the current global economic downturn fairly well, the sub-national governments of Mazowieckie face considerable fiscal uncertainties. A long period of rising revenues has come to an end. At the same time, both the province and the City of Warsaw are embarked upon major programs of capital investment. While European Union (EU) funds could help finance some of these investments, there is evidence that the money from Brussels is not reaching the highest priority projects. The objective of this report is to examine how the major units of sub-national government can respond - how they can restrain the growth of deficits and allocate funds more wisely. The report is organized in four sections. The first describes the regional, macroeconomic, and institutional context of the sub-national governments. The following three sections examine the fiscal situation of Warsaw; the Voivodship, and three case study'cities.Publication Stigma and the Take-up of Social Programs(2009-06-01)Empirical studies send mixed messages as to the magnitude of social stigma associated with the take-up of social transfers and the impact of stigma on take-up. These mixed signals may be related to the fact that stigma and program participation are likely to be jointly determined. If there is a high (low) degree of participation in a program, stigma is likely to be lower (higher) due at least in part to that high (low) degree of participation. This is because the more eligible persons participate, the less one can single out specific individuals for stigma because they use the program. This note suggests this theoretically with a simple model showing that we may have in an idealized setting two equilibria: one with stigma and zero participation in a social program, and one with perfect participation and no stigma.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 Urban Mobility in Eastern Poland(Washington, DC, 2015-05-12)In the second half of 2013, the World Bank secured grant funding from the Korea Green Growth Partnership for analytical support and technical assistance related to sustainable urban transport systems in select cities in Eastern Poland. Established in 2011, the Korea Green Growth Partnership strengthens cooperation between the Government of Korea and the World Bank Group to help countries achieve sustainable and inclusive development by developing and sharing practical knowledge around innovative green growth solutions. The objective of the first phase of this technical assistance involved assessing the urban transport sector in the selected cities, Bialystok, Lublin, Olsztyn, and Rzeszow, with a primary focus on public transportation and the aim of identifying areas for improvement. The second phase of this technical assistance will focus on areas identified in the first phase, subject to agreement from the participating cities, as well as capacity building activities. This report provides a set of recommendations related to the legal and institutional framework for urban transport in Poland; summarizes the assessment of urban mobility for Bialystok, Lublin, Olsztyn, and Rzeszow; and assesses the framework for inter-municipal coordination in Poland.Publication Are We Confusing Poverty with Preferences?(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2015-04)Modifying the national poverty line to the context of observed consumption patterns of the poor is becoming popular. A context-specific poverty line would be more consistent with preferences. This paper provides theoretical and empirical evidence that the contrary holds and that the national poverty line is more appropriate for comparing living standards among the poor, at least under prevailing conditions in Mozambique and Ghana. The problem lies in the risk of downscaling the burden associated with cheap-calorie diets and the low nonfood component of the rural poor. The paper illustrates how observed behavior may neither reveal preferences nor detect heterogeneous preferences among the poor. Rather, the consumption pattern is the upshot of the poverty condition itself. Poverty is confused with preferences if observed cheap-calorie diets are seen as a matter of taste, whereas in fact they reflect a lack of means to consume a preferred diet of higher quality, as food Engel curve estimates indicate. Likewise, a smaller nonfood component is not a matter of a particular distaste, but an adaptation to the fact that various nonfood items (such as transport) and basic services (such as electricity and health) are simply absent in rural areas.
