Abstract
The Country Opinion Survey for FY2012 in Zambia assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Zambia 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 Zambia on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Zambia; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Zambia; 3) overall impressions of the WBG s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Zambia; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG s future role in Zambia.

Publication Yokohama Development Knowledge Sourcebook(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018-11-01)The City of Yokohama offers useful lessons for other cities seeking to achieve sustainable urban development. It simultaneously managed rapid economic growth and a sharp rise in population through a series of thoughtfully conceived and well‐integrated development projects and regulative measures, each designed to be implemented over the long term and actively involving participation of citizens and the private sector. As a result, Yokohama transformed itself from a deteriorating suburban residential town on the outskirts of Tokyo into an eco‐friendly, livable city with a strong economic base. Beginning in the 1960s, Yokohama’s urban development moved organically from strategy to coordinated multi‐sector action. This was in contrast to the approach of other cities, which more often relied on construction plans and projects developed by individual sectors and departments. A key factor in this approach was the role of the Planning and Coordination Department (PCD), which combined sector‐based plans under a single vision and strategy. Despite the significance of PCD’s role, its story has not been fully documented and is not known outside Japan. This research aims to address that gap. More broadly, it aims to understand the extent to which political will and the vision of key individuals contributed to the city’s development; to identify approaches and lessons that can be replicated in other cities.Publication Zambia : An Assessment of the Investment Climate(Washington, DC, 2004-05)This Zambia Investment Climate Assessment (ICA) forms part of World Bank Group global initiative to systematically analyze conditions for private investment and enterprise growth. Improving the investment climate is recognized as a key pillar of developing countries' path to promote economic growth and reduce poverty. The I C A compliments and amplifies a series of diagnostic work on this issue being undertaken by the World Bank Group in collaboration with the Government of Zambia. Throughout this report, empirical results showing the relative position of Zambia versus potential competitors will be presented. To understand the quality of investment climate in Zambia from the perspective of the private sector, the report draws on the results of a firm survey conducted in 2003, covering a sample of more than 200 service and manufacturing firms, large and small, located in different parts of Zambia.' This Investment Climate Assessment has three key parts: Empirical analysis of productivity; examination of investment climate constraints; and strategy for improving the investment climate and productivity. The report contains ordered recommendations in five key areas: Macroeconomics and finance, public-private sector interactions, infrastructure, labor market issues, and rule of law.Publication World Development Report 2023: Migrants, Refugees, and Societies(Washington, DC : World Bank, 2023-04-25)Migration is a development challenge. About 184 million people—2.3 percent of the world’s population—live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. But what lies ahead? As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, migration will become a necessity in the decades to come for countries at all levels of income. If managed well, migration can be a force for prosperity and can help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. World Development Report 2023 proposes an innovative approach to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements on both destination and origin countries and on migrants and refugees themselves. The framework it offers, drawn from labor economics and international law, rests on a “Match and Motive Matrix” that focuses on two factors: how closely migrants’ skills and attributes match the needs of destination countries and what motives underlie their movements. This approach enables policy makers to distinguish between different types of movements and to design migration policies for each. International cooperation will be critical to the effective management of migration.Publication Yokohama Urban Design Sketchbook(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2022-03-10)Pioneered in Yokohama City, Japan, the Yokohama Urban Design Sketchbook (YUDS) is a citizen engagement and co-creation methodology for urban design at the neighborhood level. It leverages cross-sectional sketches and drawings to translate citizens' visions and ideas of urban areas into concrete proposals of urban design. YUDS also develops interest among the community on urban areas and it enhances community engagement in broader urban planning and municipal processes. Based on the experience of Yokohama City, the YUDS methodology has been successfully piloted and tested in two distinct urban contexts: in Panama City, Panama, in April 2019, and in Barranquilla, Colombia, in February 2020. The YUDS methodology consists of structured participatory workshops, in which participants collaboratively produce sketches that reflect their urban vision. The uniqueness of the methodology derives from the use of cross-sectional sketches, a simple yet powerful tool that overcomes barriers of communication and encourages consensus among participants regard-less of their language, generation, or social position. The most significant feature of YUDS is the use of schematic representations by the use of cross-sectional sketches. This approach is different from traditional urban design methodologies, which typically rely on photography, maps, and bird's-eye view illustrations.The implementation of the YUDS methodology requires careful planning and dedication of time and resources. Workshops require the preparation of urban design materials and their simplification for nonprofessional participants. The methodology also works best when a municipal champion is committed to the process, and when university researchers and students are closely engaged in the preparation and implementation of each workshop.Publication Yokohama(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2017-10)The intent of the two competitive cities case studies is to highlight what institutions and strategies successful cities have relied on to spur economic development, under what conditions such success has occurred, and what lessons of this experience might be applicable to decision makers in other cities. This research was prepared by the Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) under the auspices of the Social, Urban, Rural, and Resilience Global of the World Bank Group. Its objective is to create a knowledge base on what makes cities competitive, understand job creation at the city level, and capture the unique development experience of Japan for broad dissemination to development practitioners, government officials, academia and the private sector. The team would like to gratefully acknowledge the Government of Japan and its continued support of the Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) program.
