The Enterprise Resource Management System for Water Service Providers in Cambodia

Chan, Virak (2010-11)

More than two-thirds of the water suppliers in Cambodia are unlicensed, unregulated private businesses that often provide untreated water at substandard quality. One of the foremost challenges in converting informal water suppliers in Cambodia to formal, licensed suppliers is capacity building. The World Bank Cambodia Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) have designed an innovative project to combat this problem. This smart lesson describes our capacity-building program for domestic private water supply providers to help them develop the right skills and competencies. The program includes some useful tools, such as the Enterprise Resource Management System (ERMS), a special integrated software application created by collecting all the lessons learned from water supply utilities in capacity-building projects funded by the WSP, and also a performance improvement toolkit that will ...

The New Cybersecurity Agenda : Economic and Social Challenges to a Secure Internet

Bauer, Johannes M.; Dutton, William H. (2015-06-02)

This paper focuses on key economic and social factors underpinning worldwide issues around cybersecurity and, identifies a new agenda for addressing these issues that is being shaped by the Internet and related information and communication technologies, such as social media. All actors in the widening ecology of the Internet require a better social and cultural understanding of cybersecurity issues in order to effectively engage all relevant stakeholders in processes aimed at enhancing cybersecurity. The problems tied to cybersecurity are not new, but as the Internet becomes ever more essential to everyday life and work, and empowers users as never before, there are new social and economic aspects of the challenges to achieving a secure, open and global Internet that require much more focused attention. For years, computer scientists and engineers have recognized that cybersecurity is not merely an engineering and computer science problem, but also an economic and behavioral challenge. But recognition of the fact that cybersecurity cannot be successfully addressed with ...

Investment Commitments Remain at Peak Level in Europe and Central Asia While the Number of New Projects Declines

Izaguirre, Ada Karina; Fitzgerald, Rossa (2009-12)

Private activity in infrastructure in Europe and Central Asia showed mixed results in 2008, according to just-released data from the Private Participation in Infrastructure Project database. Investment in new projects slowed sharply in the second half of the year with the full onset of the financial crisis. This slowdown led to a decline in the number of projects for the entire year. The region accounted for 30 percent of the year's total investment commitments in developing countries, the largest share among developing regions. In 2008, 36 infrastructure projects with private participation reached financial or contractual closure in 11 low- or middle-income countries in the region. These involve investment commitments (hereafter, investment) of US$20.3 billion. Infrastructure projects implemented in previous years had additional commitments of US$25.7 billion, bringing total ...
