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.

Education Public Expenditure Review in Zambia

World Bank Group (2016-03)

The Zambian education system has been well endowed with public resources and enjoyed a strong commitment from the government. This has enabled the education system to make good progress. Public education financing has gradually shifted toward the upper levels of education. The education system continues to face challenges to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of resource use.

World Bank Group (2020-05-27)

The Global Investment Competitiveness Report 2019/2020 provides novel analytical insights, empirical evidence, and actionable recommendations for governments seeking to rebuild investor confidence in times of uncertainty.

The report also assesses the impact of FDI on poverty, inequality, employment, and business ...

Global Economic Prospects, June 2020

World Bank (2020-06-08)

The COVID-19 pandemic has, with alarming speed, dealt a heavy blow to an already-weak global economy, which is expected to slide into its deepest recession since the second world war, despite unprecedented policy support. The global recession would be deeper if countries take longer to bring the pandemic under control, if financial stress triggers defaults, or if there are protracted effects on households and firms. Economic disruptions are likely to be more severe and protracted in emerging market and developing economies with larger domestic outbreaks and weaker medical care systems; greater exposure to international spillovers through trade, tourism, and commodity and financial markets; weaker macroeconomic frameworks; and more pervasive informality and poverty. Beyond the current steep economic contraction, the pandemic is likely to leave lasting scars on the global economy by undermining consumer and investor confidence, human capital, and global value chains. Being mostly a reflection of the recent plunge in global energy demand, low oil prices are unlikely to provide much of a ...
