Abstract

The full participation of both men and women in policymaking, in economic and sectoral analysis, and in project design and management, may be impeded by cultural and legal constraints which limit women ' s participation and by women ' s relative lack of time and mobility due to their workload and multiple roles. If participatory development is to benefit from women ' s contributions, and meet the particular needs of women, a range of strategic and practical measures must be taken to overcome these barriers.

Motorization Management in Kenya

Gorham, Roger; Hartmann, Olivier; Qiu, Yin; Bose, Dipan; Kamau, Henry; Akumu, Jane; Kaenzig, Robin; Krishnan, Raman V.; Kelly, Alina; Kamakaté, Fanta (2017)

Motorization management is the process of shaping, through public policies and programs, the profile, quality, and quantity of the motor vehicle fleet as motorization occurs. Across Africa, governments are struggling to manage the effects of rapid motorization and urbanization. In the past two decades, Africa has been the fastest urbanizing region in the world, growing at 3.44 percent on average which is much higher than the rate of other rapid developing regions, such as Asia and Latin America. While this motorization potentially means that more African people will be able to claim the benefits of improved access to opportunities and mobility, it raises alarming questions about the sustainability of this future. Will countries be able to build and maintain infrastructure to accommodate these vehicles Will the quality of the vehicles support African development goals and the region’s ...

Conditional Cash Transfers and Gender-Based Violence : Does the Type of Violence Matter?

Dervisevic, Ervin; Perova, Elizaveta; Sahay, Abhilasha (2022-07)

The relationship between intimate partner violence and cash transfer programs has been extensively researched, with a consensus that cash transfers are most likely to reduce intimate partner violence. This study uses a regression discontinuity design to examine the effects of a conditional cash transfer program in the Philippines on three types of gender-based violence: (i) intimate partner violence, (ii) domestic violence by non-partners (such as husband's relatives), and (iii) violence outside home. Although the study finds no significant change in intimate partner violence or violence outside of home, it finds a measurable decline in non-partner domestic violence. The study also examines mediating channels through which conditional cash transfers may affect gender-based violence, proposed in earlier literature, namely: (i) stress reduction due to higher income, (ii) increase in ...

Urquijo Velasquez, Lenis Enrique; Valderrama, José; Arango Soler, Juan Manuel; Aguirre Martens, Gabriel Eduardo; Toro, Juan Pablo; Campbell, Jonathon Robert; Veillard, Jeremy Henri Maurice (2022-05-31)

El sistema de salud en Colombia (SGSSS) se basa en un sistema de aseguramiento que tiene como objetivo garantizar el acceso a los servicios de salud y la protección económica de la población. El SGSSS tiene principalmente dos esquemas de beneficiarios: subsidiado y contributivo 1 . Los beneficiarios de estos regímenes están afiliados a las empresas de aseguramiento (EPS) que los representan y administran sus riesgos de salud coordinando los servicios necesarios, según lo determine el Plan de Beneficios. Este Plan se refiere a la gama elegible de servicios, procedimientos, medicamentos y tecnologías para prevenir, aliviar y tratar enfermedades. Por cada beneficiario, se reconoce y desembolsa a cada EPS, una tasa de prima de salud, la Unidad de Pago por Capitación (UPC). Las EPS organizan su red de prestaciones de servicios y contratan a las Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud (IPS), para brindar servicios de salud a sus beneficiarios. Las IPS pueden ser hospitales públicos o privados, servicios de atención ambulatoria o profesionales de la salud por cuenta propia. ...
