Titre : Beyond the Gap : How Countries Can Afford the Infrastructure They Need while Protecting the Planet Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 199 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Développement durable Infrastructure Services publics Index. décimale : 06.02 Développement durable Résumé : Beyond the Gap: How Countries Can Afford the Infrastructure They Need while Protecting the Planet aims to shift the debate regarding investment needs away from a simple focus on spending more and toward a focus on spending better on the right objectives, using relevant metrics. It does so by offering a careful and systematic approach to estimating the funding needs to close the service gaps in water and sanitation, transportation, electricity, irrigation, and flood protection. Exploring thousands of scenarios, this report finds that funding needs depend on the service goals and policy choices of low- and middle-income countries and could range anywhere from 2 percent to 8 percent of GDP per year by 2030. Beyond the Gap also identifies a policy mix that will enable countries to achieve key international goals—universal access to water, sanitation, and electricity; greater mobility; improved food security; better protection from floods; and eventual full decarbonization—while limiting spending on new infrastructure to 4.5 percent of GDP per year. Importantly, the exploration of thousands of scenarios shows that infrastructure investment paths compatible with full decarbonization in the second half of the century need not cost more than more-polluting alternatives. Investment needs remain at 2 percent to 8 percent of GDP even when only the decarbonized scenarios are examined. The actual amount depends on the quality and quantity of services targeted, the timing of investments, construction costs, and complementary policies. Finally, investing in infrastructure is not enough; maintaining it also matters. Improving services requires much more than capital expenditure. Ensuring a steady flow of resources for operations and maintenance is a necessary condition for success. Good maintenance also generates substantial savings by reducing the total life-cycle cost of transport and water and sanitation infrastructure by more than 50 percent.

Beyond the gapAdobe Acrobat PDFBureaucrats in business
Titre : Bureaucrats in business : the economics and politics of government ownership Type de document : texte imprimé Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1995 Autre Editeur : Oxford [UK] : Oxford University Press Collection : Policy Research Report Importance : 346 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Services publics Tags : Secteur public Etat Privatisation Index. décimale : 04.05 Services publics Résumé : This book is the fourth in a series of policy research reports that bring to a broad audience the results of World Bank research on important policy issues. It draws on extensive data and detailed case studies to show how divestiture and other reforms can improve economic performance, why politics often impede reform, and how reforming countries have overcome these obstacles. To demonstrate why some countries succeed in reform and some do not, the book compares policies for state-owned enterprises in twelve countries. It also documents the importance of three types of contracts for reforms: 1) performance contracts (between government and public managers); 2) management contracts (between the government and the private managers of a government firm); and 3) regulatory contracts (between a government and the owners of a privatized, regulated monopoly). It analyzes how performance contracts have not improved company performance, how management contracts have worked better and how regulatory contracts have usually worked well, provided that the government is able to design and implement effective regulations. Finally, the book presents detailed recommendations for the reform of state-owned enterprises.

Titre : Can the poor influence policy? : participatory poverty assessments in the developing world Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Caroline M. Robb, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1999 Collection : Directions in development Importance : 127 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Pauvreté Tags : Pauvreté Politique de développement Pays en développement Banque mondiale Index. décimale : 06.01 Développement - Généralités Résumé : An understanding of the nature and causes of poverty lies at the heart A of designing economic and social strategies for development. Much of the analytic work on poverty critical to such an understanding has treated the poor as an object of inquiry: Empirical investigations have been conducted to explain outcomes for the poor in terms of their characteristics, the environment in which they live, and the policies of governments and other agents toward them. This tradition of work has been critical to deepening our comprehension of poverty and of the options to alleviate it. There is another tradition of inquiry, however-one that seeks to understand the experience and causes of poverty from the perspective of the poor themselves. Investigations of the poor within this broad tradition include, for example, the work of anthropologists and others who have undertaken intensive studies of villages or poor urban areas spanning decades. In the context of development endeavors, a relatively recent component of this tradition involves the use of participatory techniques. (Although these techniques have often been linked to specific projects, they increasingly have been associated with broader diagnostic investigations of the nature and causes of poverty and of the potential for policy to make a difference.) A variety of techniques have been developed to support this participatory process. All have the aim of giving the poor a voice, a voice that is not distorted by the mind-set of the investigators. Typically, the techniques also have the objective of capturing the perspective of the poor in a way that can be communicated to decisionmakers in government and development agencies. Both aspects are important for the ultimate objective of empowering the poor.
