Motorization Management in Ethiopia

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. Given that Africa remains the least developed region, the rapid urban growth pace will likely accelerate motorization development and challenge the limited resource base to meet the demand of the growing urban populations. 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 ...

Madagascar Economic Update, December 2020 : Setting a Course for Recovery

World Bank (2020-12)

Prior to the pandemic, Madagascar was on sustained recovery path and achieved progress in poverty reduction. The economic revival in the period leading up to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis was supported by political and economic stability, renewed investor confidence, rising integration in key export markets, growing flows of concessional financing and structural reforms. Activity continued to gain strength up until 2019, as public and private sector investments accelerated, while moderate inflation helped support real income and consumer spending. At the same time, budget and current account deficits remained moderate and the currency stabilized in real effective terms. In this context, growth reached 4.4 percent in 2019, its fastest pace in over a decade, with export-oriented sectors such as textiles, mining, and tourism performing particularly well in the run-up to the crisis. ...

Carbon Market Clubs and the New Paris Regime

Brewer, Thomas L.; Derwent, Henry; Błachowicz, Andrzej; Grubb, Michael (2016-07)

The objective of this paper is to examine the possible relationships between climate clubs and systems and services developed to enable the smooth functioning of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETSs), linked pairs of ETSs and networks of ETSs coming together in various formations that can be described as Carbon Markets Clubs (CMCs). The paper examines the compatibility of CMC systems with different forms of climate clubs or club-like arrangements, and considers how climate clubs using CMC services could contribute to the development of carbon markets internationally and to climate change mitigation. The paper focuses on: (a) how CMC components and infrastructure might assist those climate clubs that have shared emissions reduction or lower-emissions per-unit-of-growth as an overt objective, and (b) club arrangements that include relatively small memberships and or provisions for incentives ...
