dc.description.abstract	In Sub-Saharan Africa, the overwhelming need for infrastructure has motivated regional economic organizations to push for an ambitious agenda of private participation. But to begin solving Africa's infrastructure investment problems will also require broad institutional reform along with greater financial commitments by governments and donors. The private sector appears capable of supplying only a fraction of the estimated US$5-12 billion a year in additional infrastructure finance that Africa needs to meet its Millennium Development Goals for infrastructure. Meeting Africa's infrastructure development challenges will require substantial increases in government budgetary allocations and official development assistance.	en

Primary Health Care Vital Signs Profile Assessment for Colombia

World Bank Group (2020-12)

Since the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed, on March 6, 2020, the Primary Health Care (PHC) system in Colombia has been on trial, displayinga variability in governance capacity across the national territory. The response of the Colombian health system to COVID-19 and the role that PHChas played highlight several of its strengths and weaknesses. Barriers to access to health services related to distance and cost perceived by the Colombian population have steadily decreased since 2010, while barriers corresponding to perceived quality of services have remained relativelyconstant. Although barriers have been reduced and the availability of services has increased in the Health Service Delivery Institutions (HSDI) of the country, aspects related to the quality of care they provide continue to show weaknesses such as in the continuity of care, adherence of providers to clinical ...

Bhutan Policy Notes : Doing Business Reform

World Bank (2019-06-01)

Bhutan has been reforming its doing business environment in recent years as part of a policy shift to improving its investment climate and economic performance.Overall, it is ranked 75 out of 190 countries and is the highest ranked country in the South Asia region, significantly outperforming Bangladesh and Pakistan. In the last decade, as part of a Government policy agenda to improve competitiveness, Bhutan has launched across the board reforms in many areas.During the DB 2018 period, there was not a reform momentum in Bhutan. The very slight downgrading of the ranking can be attributed to reform inertia after a decade of success. Another factor for the lack of improvements in DC in 2018 has been Government focus on other reforms, especially involving hydropower, cottage and small industries and SOE’s.Reforms clearly need acceleration after a decade of strong reform momentum, ...
