Vranic, Seka; Aliefendié, Ruvejda; Sahovié, Tarik; Radaslié, Imeldin (2021-03-01)

The study highlights the lessons learned and outcomes of the implementation of local economic growth and regulatory simplification technical assistance work in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) since 2007. It provides recommendations and a methodology on how to address existing market and regulatory failures elsewhere to enable private investments and enterprise and private sector growth at the local level. The report concludes that bottom-up reforms could be an approach to igniting reforms at national level(s) and offers a road map for similar policy reforms elsewhere. The report outlines how this work can lead to private investments, job and enterprise growth in localities that implement these reforms. Finally, this approach can be effective in engaging with the local authorities in broader municipal economic and infrastructure development.

Saurav, Abhishek; Kusek, Peter; Kuo, Ryan; Viney, Brody (2021-06)

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic enters its second year, foreign investors can see light at the end of the tunnel as economic conditions improve. Results from the latest round (Q1 2021) of World Bank Group’s quarterly pulse surveys of Multinational Enterprise (MNE) affiliates suggests that most firms are still operating below full capacity. The pandemic’s adverse effects on MNEs in developing countries continued to ease in the first quarter of 2021 (Q1 2021).

Tourism Theory of Change

Twining-Ward, Louise; Messerli, Hannah; Sharma, Amit; Villascusa Cerezo, Jose Miguel (2018)

Theory of Change in tourism is about understanding why and how change happens, so that development programs can make the most of the development potential of this sector. It is critically important that there is full understanding of the challenges, assumptions, solutions and indicators for tourism. The evidence behind tourism as a positive development change agent also needs to be regularly challenged and examined. To be successful, projects need to take the entire tourism landscape into consideration and leverage insights from past projects. Theory of Change (ToC) provides a framework for the planning, execution and evaluation of tourism projects and programs that connects to project goals and development objectives and helps maximize tourism’s potential. This report explains Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation (FCI) Global Practice’s Tourism ToC. It is written for World Bank ...
