dc.description.abstract	Uganda had one of the best poverty reduction performances in the world since 1992, a result of a subtle structural transformation of household livelihood portfolios, rooted in strong growth of private wage and salary employment and non-farm household enterprises, and increased agricultural productivity among agricultural households. But depth and character of growth was not the same across Uganda. This triggered rising inequality throughout the country (within and between rural and urban and all regions) resulted in many households in the North and the East being left behind while the center pulled away. The evolution of spatial inequality is tightly linked to spatial differences in public and private investments, particularly in education - a legacy of inadequate public investments and conflict in the lagging regions. Addressing this inequality in growth is Uganda's shared growth challenge.	en

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 ...

What Have We Learnt? : Overview of Findings from a Survey of Ministries of Education on National Responses to COVID-19

UNESCO; UNICEF; World Bank (2020-10)

As part of the coordinated global education response to the COVID-19 pandemic, UNESCO, UNICEF and the World Bank have conducted a Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures. In this joint report, we analyze the results of the first two rounds of data collection administered by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). They cover government responses to school closures from pre-primary to secondary education. The first round of the survey was completed by Ministry of Education officials of 118 countries between May and June 2020, and the second round from 149 countries between July and October 2020. The survey instrument was designed to capture de jure policy responses and perceptions from government officials on their effectiveness, providing a systematic understanding of deployed policies, practices, and intentions to date.

Quality Unknown : The Invisible Water Crisis

Damania, Richard; Desbureaux, Sébastien; Rodella, Aude-Sophie; Russ, Jason; Zaveri, Esha (2019-08-20)

Water quantity—too much in the case of floods, or too little in the case of droughts—grabs public attention and the media spotlight. Water quality—being predominantly invisible and hard to detect—goes largely unnoticed. Quality Unknown: The Invisible Water Crisis presents new evidence and new data that call urgent attention to the hidden dangers lying beneath water’s surface. It shows how poor water quality stalls economic progress, stymies human potential, and reduces food production. Quality Unknown examines the effects of water quality on economic growth and finds upstream pollution lowers growth in downstream regions. It reveals that some of the most ubiquitous contaminants in water, such as nitrates and salt, have impacts that are larger, deeper, and wider than has been acknowledged. And it traces the damage to crop yields and the stark implications for food security in affected regions. An important step toward tackling the world’s water quality challenge is recognizing its scale. The world needs reliable, accurate, and comprehensive information so that policy makers can ...
