    Overview of Public Sector Performance Assessment Processes in Japan (2012)

    gbv_797564144
    Format: Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Global Expert Team (GET) Note
    Content: The Government of Japan began introducing evaluation techniques in 2001 within the context of a Central Government reform program that involved the establishment of new ministries and the integration and abolition of existing ministries. Japans approach emphasizes assessing policies and activities, and then incorporating results into future planning and budgeting, with a focus on making public sector programs and activities more efficient. This is a synopsis of Japans experience with public sector performance assessment processes between 2001 and 2010. This note presents a range of initiatives underway in Japan, including policy and activity evaluation, as well as the spending review exercise designed to make public sector service delivery more efficient. The intention of this note is not to necessarily endorse Japans approach, but rather to document it as a case study.

    A Pre-export Guarantee Facility in Moldova : Mitigating Political Risk in Transition (2012)

    Format: Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Viewpoint: Public Policy for the Private Sector Note 64
    Content: Moldovan firms wanting to export face severe financing constraints. The local banking system has neither the capital base nor the technical capacity to finance their working capital requirements. And export credit agencies either are not willing to provide cover, or, if they are, they require a full government counterguarantee covering both commercial and political risks. Thus, to enable viable local firms to attract private working capital, the government of Moldova asked the World Bank to help design a pre-export guarantee facility, with the proviso that the facility should not require the government to assume commercial risks. Under this facility, the Moldovan government guarantees financiers against political risk, and the World Bank provides a backstop guarantee of the government's claim payment obligations. A similar approach could be used in other transition economies, where firms face similar constraints. This Note describes the development of the facility and offers suggestions for designing a "line of guarantee" modeled on it as a way to help attract private finance for a relatively large number of small projects.

    Creating a 21st Century National Innovation System for a 21st Century Latvian Economy (2013)
    Washington, D.C. : World Bank
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_797607447
    Format: Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper 3457
    Content: The Latvian economy made great strides in recovering from the economic shock of the early transition and the adverse aftereffects of the 1998 Russian financial crisis. Nevertheless, Latvia faces serious challenges to its future growth and prosperity despite these impressive achievements and the outward appearance of macroeconomic stability and economic progress. A wide variety of recent studies suggest that the Latvian economy is not particularly competitive and, even more worrisome, they indicate that Latvia is not well positioned to gain ground in the race for global competitiveness, prosperity, and rising standards of living. Most of Latvia's growth to date has come from one-off gains generated by structural reforms, privatization, and reallocating resources, not inexhaustible reservoirs of growth. Latvian enterprises will be able to sustain economic growth and create high wage jobs only by becoming internationally competitive, innovating, accumulating new knowledge and technology, and finding a high value added niche in the European and global division of labor. This paper is designed to help Latvian leaders develop a clear diagnosis of the innovation and competitiveness challenges facing Latvia as it prepares to enter the EU and, more important, design and implement policies and programs to ensure that Latvia reaps the maximum possible benefits from EU structural funds. Section II analyzes the current structure of Latvia's production, imports, and exports. Section III uses data from a number of competitiveness reports to benchmark Latvia's current progress against a number of comparator countries and to pinpoint Latvia's strengths and weaknesses as an innovative economy. Section IV offers a detailed list of potential policies and programs that could improve the competitiveness of Latvian enterprises and the efficiency of the Latvian National Innovation System. The recommendations include specific policies and programs to improve (1) the production of knowledge in Latvia, (2) the commercialization of technology produced by Latvian scientists, small companies, and research institutes, and (3) local firms' capacity to absorb, adapt, and adopt existing knowledge produced outside Latvia for use inside Latvia.

    Senegal - Education Pilot in Support of Female Literacy (2012)

    Format: Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Africa Region Findings &amp Good Practice Infobriefs; 99
    Content: The aim of the Senegal Pilot Female Literacy Project was to raise the literacy rates of populations in Dakar and the more developed areas and, most importantly, to remote areas that cannot be reached via traditional mass literacy campaigns. The pilot, begun in 1995 and concluded in 2000, was designed to support the Senegalese government in strengthening efforts through partnership with other groups to raise national literacy rates, particularly for women, beyond the currently stagnant pre-pilot levels of approximately 40 percent. This was to offset the failure of traditional mass literacy campaigns instituted since the 1960s-programs which were only in the French language, not well-adapted to the local situation, and characterized by a lack of post-literacy reading materials. The broad development objectives of the pilot were to (a) improve education sector goals by providing literacy to both urban and rural populations, (b) raise literacy rates beyond current levels, especially for women, (c) to empower local women with the capacity to improve their standard of living through providing them with relevant skills through education and (d) strengthen the enabling environment for primary school education.

    Content: The Global HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Support Team (GAMET) was formed in July 2002 as a unit of the Bank's Global HIV/AIDS Program in the HDN Vice Presidency. Its aim is to work with countries globally to strengthen and develop their capacity to monitor and evaluate the results of national programs and policy on HIV/AIDS. GAMET was created as a partnership between UNAIDS, other UN agencies, the Bank, the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM), and several technical agencies including the Global Program on HIV/AIDS, and the MEASURE/Evaluation project. It is funded by the UNAIDS trust fund for GAMET operations and by the Bank. The GAMET Country Support Team (CST) consists of 17 international Monitoring and Evaluation specialists who work in collaboration with the national M&E teams. The broad development objectives of GAMET are to utilize the principles and practice of M&E to build country capacity and mitigate the problems associated with HIV/AIDS. This includes three central objectives; i) innovation and development of strategies that incorporate M&E into the framework of the MAP projects ii) country assistance in their initiation of a national framework for M&E and the development of success indicators, and iii) the creation of community-level activities that are able to help local managers accurately assess program interventions.
