dc.description.abstract	International Finance Corporation (IFC) played a key role in helping the Republic of Albania structure and implements it first large public-private partnership (PPP) transaction in the energy sector, which brought a strong and reliable international investor into the country. Verbund, Austria's largest electricity company won a 35-year concession to build and operate the Ashta plant, the first major hydropower plant built in Albania in 30 years. Verbund will invest more than $220 million in the project, resulting in an expected savings on Albania's electricity imports in excess of $45 million during the first five years of the plant's operation. The Ashta hydropower plant is a great example of how IFC involvement can bring about real change by fostering innovative solutions.	en

Rapport sur le développement dans le monde 2021 : Des données au service d’une vie meilleure

World Bank (2021-03-24)

L’accroissement sans précédent des données et leur omniprésence dans nos vies aujourd’hui sont des signes qui donnent à penser que la révolution des données est en train de transformer notre monde. Et pourtant, une grande partie de la valeur des données reste inexploitée. En e et, les données recueillies pour un but précis ont le potentiel de créer de la valeur économique et sociale dans le cadre d’applications qui vont nettement au-delà des usages envisagés initialement. Mais de nombreux obstacles, qui vont d’incitations décalées et de systèmes de données incompatibles à un manque fondamental de confiance, entravent la réalisation de ce potentiel. Le Rapport sur le développement dans le monde 2021 : Des données au service d’une vie meilleure passe en revue les vastes possibilités qu’o re le paysage des données en mutation pour améliorer les conditions de vie des pauvres, tout en reconnaissant sa capacité à emprunter des voies détournées qui sont susceptibles de porter préjudice aux particuliers, aux entreprises et aux sociétés. Pour relâcher cette tension entre le ...

Pathways for Peace : Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict

United Nations; World Bank (2018)

The resurgence of violent conflict in recent years has caused immense human suffering, at enormous social and economic cost. Violent conflicts today have become complex and protracted, involving more non-state groups and regional and international actors, often linked to global challenges from climate change to transnational organized crime. It is increasingly recognized as an obstacle to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This has given impetus for policy makers at all levels – from local to global – to focus on preventing violent conflict more effectively. Grounded in a shared commitment to this agenda, Pathways for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict is a joint United Nations and World Bank study that looks at how development processes can better interact with diplomacy and mediation, security and other tools to prevent conflict from becoming violent. To understand ‘what works,’ it reviews the experience of different countries and institutions to highlight elements that have contributed to peace. Central to these efforts is the need to ...

Guide for Designing Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Programs

Singh, Neelam; Bacher, Kathryn; Song, Ranping; Sotos, Mary; Yin, Lei (2015-05-26)

Over the past decade, greenhouse gas reporting programs have emerged to provide information on emission sources and trends. As more jurisdictions plan to design and implement these programs, this report draws on the experience of 13 existing and proposed programs to guide policymakers and practitioners in developing such GHG reporting programs. Business, industry associations, civil society and funding agencies may also find this guide useful in facilitating their participation in the development of a reporting program. The guide provides step by step guidance on the four basic steps to design a reporting program: determining program objectives; creating an enabling environment for program design and implementation; determining program structure and requirements; and conducting program review.
