dc.description.abstract	Worldwide, nearly 1.4 billion people live without access to electricity and nearly 2.7 billion people use traditional biomass fuels for cooking. One challenge to increasing reliable energy access for the poor is their limited ability to pay the up-front connection fees for electricity and natural gas. Output-based aid (OBA) approaches in which subsidy payments are linked to predefined outputs, such as installation of a working household connection or solar home system offers a potential solution that has increased energy access for more than 6.8 million poor beneficiaries. A recent World Bank review of OBA concludes that there is a case to adopt OBA more widely, where there is an enabling environment (Mumssen, Johannes, and Kumar, 2010). This note discusses lessons learned and best practices in implementing OBA in the energy sector.	en

Innovation in Fare Payment Systems for Public Transport in African Cities

Arroyo Arroyo, Fatima; Van Ryneveld, Philip Clive; Finn, Brendan; Greenwood, Karin Chantal; Coetzee, Gerhardus Koch (2022-01)

This study of African fare payment systems seeks to understand the emerging payment landscape in public transport in Sub-Saharan Africa, identifying key trends and their implications. The research draws on case studies undertaken in five African cities—Cape Town,Kigali, Lagos, Maputo and Nairobi—selected to cover a variety of contexts, innovations and language regions. A sixth case is included from India, identified through a wider international scan and which embodies some significant innovations relevant to the African context.

Remittances: Development Impact and Future Prospects

Maimbo, Samuel Munzele; Ratha, Dilip (2005)

Remittances explores policy options for enhancing the poverty alleviation impact of remittance money in recipient countries, and addressees concerns about increasing migration and inequality. It looks at new technologies that allow remittance service providers to reduce direct transaction costs and open new channels, enhancing convenience for remitters and improving levels of transparency and accountability for regulators and policy makers. Importantly, it also establishes a baseline for further research and collaborative effort, showing the areas where the international financial institutions, particularly the World Bank, can add value to enhance the positive impact of remittance flows and minimize less welcome effects.

Iran Economic Monitor, Fall 2021 : Adapting to the New Normal - A Protracted Pandemic and Ongoing Sanctions

World Bank (2021-10)

Iran’s economy is gradually recovering following a lost decade (2011–2020) of negligible economic growth. Less stringent COVID-19 restrictions, adaptation to the new normal - reflected in a recovery in consumption, and more favorable oil sector conditions have driven a four-quarter rebound after June 2020, albeit from a low base. The rebound was boosted by the rapid rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in the second half of 2021/22. However, limited accessible foreign exchange reserves, due to ongoing US sanctions, have led to exchange rate volatility and a surge in inflation. The economic rebound has also been predominantly jobless which coupled with high inflation has translated to declining household welfare, especially among the bottom income deciles who were also disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Meanwhile, adverse climate change events such as droughts and record temperatures have led ...
