    Rural Households in a Changing Climate / (2013)
    Washington, D.C., : The World Bank,

    almafu_9958246413102883
    Format: 1 online resource (25 pages)
    Series Statement: Policy research working papers.
    Content: This paper argues that climate change poses two distinct, if related, sets of challenges for poor rural households: challenges related to the increasing frequency and severity of weather shocks and challenges related to long-term shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, and other environmental factors. Within this framework, the paper examines evidence from existing empirical literature to compose an initial picture of household-level strategies for adapting to climate change in rural settings. The authors find that although households possess numerous strategies for managing climate shocks and shifts, their adaptive capacity is insufficient for the task of maintaining-let alone improving-household welfare. They describe the role of public policy in fortifying the ability of rural households to adapt to a changing climate.

Within this framework, we examine evidence from existing empirical literature to compose an initial picture of household-level strategies for adapting to climate change in rural settings. We find that although households possess numerous strategies for managing climate shocks and shifts, their adaptive capacity is insufficient for the task of maintaining—let alone improving—household welfare. We describe the role of public policy in fortifying the ability of rural households to adapt to a changing climate.

    Monitoring Monitoring : Assessing Results Measurement at the World Bank (2014)
    Washington, DC : World Bank
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_797618503
    Format: Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) discussion paper
    Content: This paper documents a review of results monitoring in the portfolio of the Latin America and Caribbean Region Human Development Department (LCSHD) of the World Bank. While several aspects of results monitoring have improved in recent years, and while a focused department-level action plan made additional progress, further improvements require Bank-wide action. Specifically, the report finds that the Bank does not have a fully functioning system of results monitoring. The Bank does not have a set of rules or procedures governing the measurement of development results, nor does it have a physical platform for reporting results, nor an incentive structure designed to encourage results monitoring. The paper discusses this finding along with potential recommendations.
