Abstract
The Country Opinion Survey in CAR assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in CAR 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 CAR on 1) their views regarding the general environment in CAR; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in CAR; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in CAR; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in CAR.

Publication Gabon: Strengthening the Transport Sector(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2002-04)The project -Transport Sector Technical Assistance, later renamed Project for the Adjustment and Planning of the Urban and Transport Sectors - was conceived as an integral part of the government's overall macroeconomic strategy following the adjustment of the CFA franc. This strategy focused on reducing, rationalizing and improving the efficiency of the private sector, while promoting privatization and increasing competitiveness in the economy. In addition to supporting the government's macroeconomic policies, the project aimed to strengthen a broad range of capacities in the urban and transport sectors by encouraging the wide participation of government, public sector entities, the private sector and the international donor community in setting the sector strategies.Publication Paving the Way for a Transformational Future : Lessons from Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission Phase I(Washington, DC, 2013)Renewable energy, especially solar power, has been garnering a lot of interest from governments, international development organizations, civil society, and the private sector for the last few years. There has been a huge surge in the popularity of this important energy source from various stakeholders in India as well. On the other hand, solar power presents a formidable option for addressing pertinent issues being faced in international geopolitical and national macroeconomic arenas for the Government of India (GoI). Though the World Bank, India considers all market segments of solar power to be important; this report specifically looks at the utility-scale grid-connected segment of solar power in India. As one of the eight missions under India's National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC), the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was launched in January 2010 with the aim of accelerating India's march toward grid parity in solar power. JNNSM envisages the achievement of grid parity through long-term and predictable policy, large-scale deployment, aggressive research and development (R and D), and domestic production of critical materials, components, and products along the value chain. Phase one (2010-13) of JNNSM, still under implementation, experienced enthusiastic participation from Indian and international investors in the grid-connected segment with substantial discounts to the benchmark tariffs determined by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for 500 megawatt (MW) each of solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. Another unique feature of JNNSM phase one has been the adoption of a reverse auction method for awarding projects to qualified bidders. The GoI took several proactive steps in phase one of the mission, such as offering a bundling of solar power with unallocated coal-based power through the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN), implementing a renewable purchase obligation (RPO) for solar power, instituting a payment security scheme (PSS), and undertaking certain measures for promoting local manufacturing, which all combined to ensure the success of phase one.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 Addressing Food Loss and Waste(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-09-28)The report focuses on the role that food loss and waste (FLW) could play in reducing the environmental footprint of food systems while attempting to meet the caloric and nutrient needs of a population expected to increase by 3 billion people in the next 30 years. The performance of the global food system over the last century has been extraordinary. From a global population of 1.6 billion people in 1900 to nearly 8 billion in 2020, the agri-food sector has risen to the challenge of providing global caloric sufficiency, mainly by increasing yields of a few principal staple crops. However, this path is no longer sustainable.Publication Structured Finance in Latin America : Channeling Pension Funds to Housing, Infrastructure, and Small Businesses(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2007)The report covers several types of structured finance with such capital market instruments as mortgage-backed securities, structured bond issues for infrastructure financing, securitization of small and medium enterprises (SME)-related assets, and securitization of loans to SMEs. The report also covers factoring and leasing, which can be important sources of finance for SMEs and can be pooled and packaged into marketable securities and sold to pension funds. The report does not cover other types of structured finance, such as exchange trade funds, structured notes with capital protection, or structured financing outside capital markets, such as bank syndications. Chapter 1 focuses on private pension fund investment management and the role of structured bonds. Chapter 2 focuses on the increasing use of structured finance for housing in Latin American countries. Chapter 3 deals with the less developed yet promising area of structured bonds for infrastructure financing. Chapter 4 focuses on the use of structured bonds for SME finance, still in the experimental stage. The report discusses the role of the government in supporting small and medium loan securitizations through partial guarantees (as in Spain) to share the risk of borrower default and through the development of an SME securitization conduit (as in Germany).
