    Series Statement: Enterprise Surveys
    Content: The Enterprise Surveys (ES) focus on many aspects of the business environment. These factors can be accommodating or constraining for firms and play an important role in whether an economy's private sector will thrive or not. An accommodating business environment is one that encourages firms to operate efficiently. Such conditions strengthen incentives for firms to innovate and to increase productivity - key factors for sustainable development. A more productive private sector, in turn, expands employment and contributes taxes necessary for public investment in health, education, and other services. The topics include infrastructure, trade, finance, regulations, taxes and business licensing, corruption, crime and informality, access to finance, innovation, labor, and perceptions about obstacles to doing business.The surveys are administered to a representative sample of firms in the non-agricultural, formal, private economy. The ES are repeated approximately every four years for a particular economy (or region). By tracking changes in the business environment, policymakers and researchers can look at the effects of policy and regulatory reforms on firm performance.Repeated surveys aid in studying the evolution of the business environment and how it affects the dynamics of the private sector.This document summarizes the results of the Enterprise Survey for Niger. Business owners and top managers in 151 firms were interviewed between April and June 2017

    Series Statement: Policy Notes
    Content: Out-of-pocket payments (OOPs) are direct (at the point of service) financial contributions or co-payments by patients and their families associated with consumption of medical products (such as medicines) and/or services. They can be formal as well as informal payments. Together with taxation, social and private health insurance contributions, they constitute the main sources of financing for medical products and services in all countries of the world. This policy note looks at prevalence and trends of OOPs in Moldova during 2007-2013, evaluates their impact on the population's economic well-being (section two), identifies key drivers of the current OOPs (section three), and, based on the analysis, suggests several policy options for government's consideration (section four)

    Senegal Groundnut Value Chain Competitiveness and Prospects for Development (2017)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank
    Details
    UID:
    b3kat_BV048268591
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Commodities Study
    Content: The groundnut value chain is of major economic, social and political importance in Senegal. Most rural households grow the crop, and its transport, storage or processing is a key source of nonfarm employment in both formal and informal enterprises. Senegal's groundnut sector was originally developed by colonial authorities, using a monopoly over exports to control the domestic market. For groundnuts in Senegal, the French-owned oil processor was nationalized to form SONACOS in 1975, which proved increasingly costly to operate and was eventually privatized in 2005 to form SUNEOR in 2007. That too has suffered increasing losses and in January 2010 the government finally ended the monopoly system, allowing farmers to sell to competing firms for either direct export or processing. Despite turmoil in the groundnut processing sector, groundnut production itself remains a mainstay of the rural economy. This report builds on a number of previous studies to inform ongoing changes in the sector. Most notably, we build on the diagnostic analysis of the groundnut value chain that was conducted in 2014 (World Bank 2015) and addressed a set of key reform proposals. The focus of this report is detailed in its Terms of Reference (Annex 4)

    Crowdsourcing Water Quality Data : A Conceptual Framework (2016)

    Series Statement: Other papers
    Content: Using mobile phone technologies coupled with water quality testing, there is great opportunity to increase the awareness of water quality throughout rural and urban communities in developing countries. Whether the focus is on empowering citizens with information about the quality of water they use in daily life or providing scientific data to water managers to help them deliver safe water to the citizens, the integration of citizen science, crowdsourcing, and innovative technologies has the potential to create positive and lasting change. The methodology presented herein combines empowerment of the public through participation in the scientific process (citizen science) with modern technologies to collect, gather, and disseminate data (crowdsourcing). By employing a crowdsourcing approach with innovative technologies, there is potential to harness large amounts of data in areas previously considered either too remote or costly to access. The purpose of this conceptual framework is to outline the considerations and activities to be undertaken for a successful water quality monitoring project using citizen science and crowdsourcing. Specifically included in the framework are: (1) the research question to be answered through the project; (2) the theory of change that will lead to desired outcomes; (3) project design considerations to promote a successful pilot; and (4) the methodology outlining implementation steps

    Series Statement: South Asia Economic Focus
    Content: South Asia defies a sluggish world economy and continues its path of gradual acceleration during 2016. Led by a solid India, the region remains a global growth hot spot. While South Asian economies proved resilient vis-A-vis external headwinds such as China's slowdown or uncertainty surrounding monetary policy in advanced economies, some are beginning to feel the sting from slowing remittance flows or waning oil price dividends. Against this backdrop of relative stability but fading tailwinds, India is set to grow at 7.6 percent in 2016, the same speed as in 2015, but may increase its pace again in 2017 to 7.7 percent. The region will remain steadfast in the face of future volatility and is expected to grow at 7.1 percent in 2016, however, its medium term performance strongly hinges on investment and exports. Downside risks are concentrated around political uncertainty as well as fiscal and financial vulnerabilities. While export growth is set to return to positive territory, it will deliver only gradually as global demand picks up. A reality check reveals that private investment - the key future growth driver across South Asia - is yet to be ignited to sustain and further increase the pace of economic activity
