dc.description.abstract	Financial inclusion is about introducing justice and equity in financial systems and focuses on: (i) extending financial services to previously excluded populations and micro-entrepreneurs; (ii) empowering the poor and low income populations that have largely been excluded from access to financial services; and (iii) extending access through provision of holistic services ranging from credit delivery to deposits, insurance and pensions and other financial services.	en

World Development Report 2020 : Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains

World Bank (2020)

Global value chains (GVCs) powered the surge of international trade after 1990 and now account for almost half of all trade. This shift enabled an unprecedented economic convergence: poor countries grew rapidly and began to catch up with richer countries. Since the 2008 global financial crisis, however, the growth of trade has been sluggish and the expansion of GVCs has stalled. Meanwhile, serious threats have emerged to the model of trade-led growth. New technologies could draw production closer to the consumer and reduce the demand for labor. And conflicts among large countries could lead to a retrenchment or a segmentation of GVCs. This book examines whether there is still a path to development through GVCs and trade. It concludes that technological change is, at this stage, more a boon than a curse. GVCs can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms to promote GVC participation; industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies; and all countries revive multilateral cooperation.

Confiance, voix au chapitre et mesures incitatives : Tirer des leçons du succès dans la prestation de services au niveau local au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord

Brixi, Hana; Lust, Ellen; Woolcock, Michael (2015-04)

La région du Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (MENA) passe dans un état de changement volatile. Cette période de changement impose des difficultés sur les gens de la région, et les foyers de conflit et de violence représentent un danger évident non seulement sur le plan régional, mais aussi global. Dans ces circonstances, il est essentiel de se concentrer sur le bien-être de la jeunesse de la région et leur santé économique et institutionnelle afin de jeter les bases pour une stabilité durable et une prospérité partagée. Les institutions et les services publics sont au coeur de cet effort. En particulier, il est crucial d’exploiter la capacité des institutions publiques à aligner leurs mesures incitatives sur les besoins de la population; la capacité des systèmes d’éducation et la capacité des systèmes de santé. Au lendemain de l’indépendance, les dirigeants des pays de la région MENA ont promis à leurs citoyens l’industrialisation et de meilleures conditions de vie grâce à l’intervention de l’Etat. Toutefois, ce rapport documente qu’au Moyen Orient et en Afrique du Nord, beaucoup des ...

Glass Half Full : Poverty Diagnostic of Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene Conditions in Tajikistan

World Bank Group (2017-08-29)

Located on the western tip of the Himalayas, Tajikistan has abundant fresh water resources in its rivers, lakes, and glaciers. Yet, access to improved drinking water, and to sanitation connected to a functioning sewerage system, are among the most severe and unequally distributed services in the country. Unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions have significant adverse effects on well-being, particularly for rural residents, the poor and the children. Glass Half Full: Poverty Diagnostic of Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene Conditions in Tajikistan documents the realities, characteristics, and priorities of Tajikistan’s WASH-deprived population. It presents new, comprehensive evidence on the coverage and quality of WASH service conditions, along with their diverse well-being impacts. It also identifies institutional gaps and service delivery models that can inform future policies and investments in the WASH sector. The findings communicate a sense of urgency that should inspire the government, civil society, and the international community to accelerate their ...
