dc.description.abstract	In 2004, nine country programs involved in PROLINNOVA (Promoting Local Innovation in ecologically-oriented agriculture and natural resource management) considered how local innovation could be enhanced. The PROLINNOVA partners (national NGOs and government institutions of research, extension and education) saw a need for flexible funding mechanisms to support farmer-led participatory research and development (R&D) processes. They developed the concept of locally controlled "Innovation Support Funds" (ISFs) that would allow farmers to invest in their own research, to hire external resource persons to support it, to access external information, and to conduct cross visits. The note explores the ISF concept, and describes how PROLINNOVA partners envisage their operation.	en

Political Economy of Public Financial Management Reforms : Experiences and Implications for Dialogue and Operational Engagement

Fritz, Verena; Verhoeven, Marijn; Avenia, Ambra (2017-11-15)

Using fiscal resources to achieve results is critical for equitable development. Accordingly, many countries have sought to strengthen their PFM systems, following a fairly standardized set of reform recommendations and approaches. Yet, the results achieved, as well as the pace of reforms and the areas of progress vary considerably across countries. From an impact perspective, it is critical to understand what accounts for such different rates of progress. While non-technical drivers such as ‘political commitment’ are widely considered important, to date there has been little systematic analysis of how such drivers matter for reform progress, or how to utilize such insights when developing and pursuing PFM reforms. This report maps out what PFM progress looks like across countries, regions, and income groups, and then drills down into specific experiences. Based on a detailed tracing ...

Understanding Out-of-Work and Out-of-School Youth in Europe and Central Asia

Mauro, Joseph Anthony; Mitra, Sophie (2015-07-30)

The objectives of this study are to describe and analyze the out-of-work and out-of-school youth (ages 15-24) in the Europe and Central Asia2 (ECA) region. People who are out-of-work and out-of-school are referred to as NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training). This study attempts to characterize the NEETs by age, gender, education and their activity status. The main findings of this study are listed are as follows: first, the authors find that in the post-2009 period the youth NEET rate for the ECA region was 19.60 percent, which is higher than the OECD youth NEET rate of 16 in 2011 (OECD 2013). Second, this study finds that the NEET rate prior to the financial crisis in 2009 was on the decline, and increased in the post-2009 period. Third, this study finds that the NEET rate for ECA is higher for women than for men for all years. However, since the financial crisis in 2009, the gender ...

Local Case Studies

Abidi, Sohail; Mir, Aized H.; Durrani, Amer Z. (2007-11)

The local case studies for projects in different sectors were prepared to document the bottlenecks which occurred during the various processes involved in the life cycle of infrastructure projects. Identifying such processes allows a better understanding of the capacity constraints in planning, designing, programming, procurement, contract administration, financing and budgeting, execution, and other stages in a project cycle. The case studies clearly demonstrate the presence of deep rooted systematic problems related to: (1) inadequate client capacity to plan, procure, program, administer, and manage projects; (2) imbalanced conditions of contracts; (3) flawed procurement procedures (pre-qualification, bid evaluation, negotiations, and re-negotiations with the lowest bidder) causing significant delays; (4) mismatched project funding needs and actual availability of funds; (5) commencement of ...
