2015
International Debt Statistics 2015 is a continuation
of the World Bank’s Global Development Finance,
Volume II (1997 through 2009) and the earlier
World DebtTables (1973 through 1996).This year’s
edition of International Debt Statistics is designed to
respond to user demand for timely, comprehensive
data on trends in external debt in developing
countries.As in previous years, International Debt
Statistics provides statistical tables showing the
external debt of 124 developing countries that
report public and publicly guaranteed external
debt to theWorld Bank’s Debtor Reporting
System (DRS). In addition, this report showcases
the broader spectrum of debt data collected and
compiled by theWorld Bank.These include the
high-frequency, quarterly data for high-income
and select developing countries reporting to the
jointWorld Bank-IMF Quarterly External Debt
Statistics (QEDS) and the Public Sector Debt
(PSD) database launched in 2010.
Presentation and access to data have been
refined to improve the user experience.This
print version of International Debt Statistics now
provides a summary overview and a select set of
indicators, while an expanded dataset is available
online (datatopics.worldbank.org/debt/ids).
The tables presented in International Debt
Statistics 2015 cover external debt stocks and
flows, major economic aggregates, key debt
ratios, and the currency composition of
long-term debt.The text also includes such
information as country notes, definitions, and
data sources for each table.An expanded version
of the tables is available online; it features
longer time series and more detailed data for
more than 100 time series indicators, as well
as pipeline data for scheduled debt service
payments on existing commitments to 2021.

World Development Indicators 2015 provides a compilation of relevant, high-
quality, and internationally comparable statistics about global development
and the fight against poverty. It is intended to help policymakers, students,
analysts, professors, program managers, and citizens find and use data
related to all aspects of development, including those that help monitor
progress toward the World Bank Group’s two goals of ending poverty and
promoting shared prosperity.
Six themes are used to organize indicators—world view, people, environment,
economy, states and markets, and global links. As in past editions, World
Development Indicators reviews global progress toward the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and provides key indicators related to poverty.
WDI 2015 includes:
nn A selection of the most popular indicators across 214 economies and
14 country groups organized into six WDI themes
nn Thematic and regional highlights, providing an overview of global
development trends
nn An in-depth review of the progress made toward achieving the
Millennium Development Goals
nn A user guide describing resources available online and on mobile
apps
A complementary online data analysis tool is available this year to allow readers to further investigate global, regional,
and country progress on the MDGs: data.worldbank.org/mdgs.
Each of the remaining sections includes an introduction; six stories highlighting specific global, regional or country
trends; and a table of the most relevant and popular indicators for that theme, together with a discussion of indicator
compilation methodology.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTS, JANUARY 2015
GLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTS
January 2015. 248 pages. Stock no. C210444
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0444-1). US$35.00
Global growth again disappointed in 2014 but a lackluster recovery is
underway, with increasingly divergent prospects in major economies. Looking
ahead, growth is expected to rise slowly, supported by continued recovery
in high-income countries and receding domestic headwinds in developing
economies. Weak global trade growth and lower commodity prices are
projected to persist while financial conditions will likely tighten gradually.
Risks to the outlook are still tilted to the downside.
The stability of remittances may help some of the lowest-income countries
weather shocks. In some developing economies, monetary policy challenges
may be attenuated if falling commodity prices reduce inflationary pressures.
Fiscal stimulus could effectively support growth if there is sufficient fiscal
space. Some developing countries, however, have to rebuild fiscal space
to preserve their ability to implement countercyclical fiscal policy, which
has served them well over the decade. Both high-income and developing
countries need to undertake structural reforms that promote growth and job
creation and help achieve poverty reduction goals.
Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report. On a twice
yearly basis (January and June), it examines global economic developments
and prospects, with a special focus on developing countries. The report
includes analysis of topical policy challenges faced by developing countries
through extensive research in the January edition and shorter pieces in the
June edition.

GLOBAL FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2015
Long-Term Finance
GLOBAL FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT
May 2015. 240 pages. Stock no. C210472
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0472-4). US$35.00
Global Financial Development Report 2015 focuses on the ability of financial
systems to sustainably extend the maturity of financial contracts for private
agents. The challenges of extending the maturity structure of finance
are often considered to be at the core of effective, sustainable financial
development. Sustainably extending long-term finance may contribute to
the objectives of higher growth and welfare, shared prosperity and stability
in two ways: by reducing rollover risks for borrowers, thereby lengthening
the horizon of investments; and by increasing the availability of long-term
financial instruments, thereby allowing households to address their life-
cycle challenges.
The aim of the report is to contribute to the global policy debate on long-
term finance. It builds upon findings from recent and ongoing research,
lessons from operational work, as well as on inputs from financial sector
professionals and researchers both within and outside the World Bank
Group. Benefitting from new worldwide datasets and information on
financial development, it will provide a broad and balanced review of the
evidence and distill pragmatic lessons on long-term finance and related
policies.
This report, the third in the Global Financial Development Report series,
follows the second issue on Financial Inclusion and the inaugural issue,
Rethinking the Role of the State in Finance. The Global Financial Development Report 2015 will be accompanied by a
website worldbank.org/financialdevelopment containing extensive datasets, research papers, and other background
materials as well as interactive features.

ACHIEVING INCLUSIVE GREEN GROWTH
Planning, Incentives, and Finance for a Low-Carbon Future
May 2015. 120 pages.
Stock no. C210479
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0479-3).
US$29.95
Stabilizing climate change requires bringing net carbon emissions to zero, implying full
decarbonization of the economy. This report focuses on the decarbonization aspects of
“green growth,” looking at the planning instruments, policy mix, and financial structure
that can help deliver what is needed to keep warming as close as possible to 2°C above
pre-industrial levels.
It delivers three main messages. First, climate stabilization requires achieving carbon
neutrality. This in turn requires structural change away from carbon-intensive sectors,
carbon-neutral electricity, energy efficiency gains in every sector, and electrification of
the remaining energy needs. Second, a package of climate policies is needed to tackle
the multiple government and market failures that explain our current carbon intensity,
and to manage the distributional and competitiveness impacts of restructuring our
economies away from carbon. Third, financing the transition to a low-carbon future
is challenging: the need is not only to finance the additional cost of low- or zero-
carbon capital compared to baseline capital; in many parts of the world, financing
infrastructure is already a challenge per se.
THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE 2014 EBOLA
EPIDEMIC
Short- and Medium-Term Estimates for West Africa
November 2014. 106 pages.
Stock no. C210438
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0438-0).
US$15.00
Beyond its terrible toll in human lives and suffering, the Ebola epidemic has inflicted a
measurable economic impact on West Africa in terms of forgone output, higher fiscal
deficits, rising prices, lower real household incomes, and greater poverty. This impact
results partly from the health-care costs and forgone productivity associated with
being infected, but it is driven principally by the efforts of the uninfected population to
avoid exposure ('aversion behavior'). The Economic Impact of the 2014 Ebola Epidemic:
Short- and Medium-Term Estimates for West Africa provides a mixed methods analysis
of the economic impact, combining theory on the channels of economic impact of the
epidemic, economic indicators across sectors in the affected countries, and models of
how these economies interact with each other and with the broader world. The result is
a quantification of the potential overall magnitude of the economic impact for Guinea,
Liberia, and Sierra Leone, as well as for West Africa as a whole.
Ebola's short-term economic impact (2014) in the three core countries is on the order
of US$359 million in forgone output. That is how much poorer these economies will
be than they would have been in the absence of Ebola. Two alternative scenarios are
used to estimate the medium-term impact (2015): A Low Ebola scenario corresponds
to rapid containment within the three most severely affected countries and limited
regional contagion, and a High Ebola scenario corresponds to slower containment in
the three core countries with broader regional contagion. The estimates of the output
lost as a result of the epidemic in the three core countries for 2015 alone sum to US$97 million under the Low Ebola
scenario (implying some recovery from 2014) and US$809 million under the High Ebola scenario.

The evaluation of essential surgery by Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition
(DCP3) focuses on a set of conditions that are primarily or extensively
treated by surgery and: that have a large public health burden; for which
there is a surgical procedure that is highly successful at treating the
condition; and for which the surgical procedure is cost-effective and feasible
to promote globally. This included injuries, obstetrical complications,
abdominal emergencies, cataracts, obstetric fistula, and congenital
anomalies, among others.
The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced four key findings:
i. There is a significant burden of death and disability from conditions
that require surgical care.
ii. Many essential surgical services are among the most cost-effective
of all health interventions.
iii. Human and physical resources to provide surgical care are at very
low levels, especially in low-income countries and in rural areas.
iv. Critical indicators of quality, such as perioperative mortality rates
and anesthesia-related deaths, continue to show huge disparities
between low- and middle-income countries and high-income
countries and even among countries at same economic levels.
Quality can be improved by feasible and affordable measures.
Modest investments in improving capacity for delivering these essential
surgical services on the part of both national governments and the
international community would significantly lower the sizable burden of the
global health problems that are treatable with surgery.
ABOUT THE DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES SERIES
Health practitioners and policymakers in low- and middle-income countries confront a pressing need for care.
Though funding for global health programs has increased dramatically since the turn of the millennium, competition
for funding has increased as well. Setting priorities for resource allocation entails navigating an increasingly
complex map of policy and intervention choices.
The third edition of Disease Control Priorities aims to meet the critical need for quantitative evidence on the benefits
and costs of diverse health interventions. DCP3 expands the scope of assessments presented in the first and
second editions. This eight-volume set, organized by health condition, presents systematic economic evaluations,
based on newly developed methods, of interventions, delivery platforms, and policies. This up-to-date review of the
effectiveness of priority health interventions will aid global and country decision makers in program design and
resource allocation.
To optimize access to quality care, global health programmers require comprehensive evidence of what works, what
does not, and how much it will cost. DCP3 contributes an informed perspective for setting global and national health
care priorities.

Volume 2, Cancer, presents the complex patterns of cancer incidence and death around
the world and evidence on effective and cost-effective ways to control cancers. The
DCP3 evaluation of cancer will indicate where cancer treatment is ineffective and
wasteful, and offer alternative cancer care packages that are cost-effective and suited
to low-resource settings. Main messages from the volume include:
nn Quality matters in all aspects of cancer treatment and palliation.
nn Cancer registries that track incidence, mortality, and survival – paired with
systems to capture causes of death are important to understanding the national
cancer burden and the effect of interventions over time.
nn Effective interventions exist at a range of prices. Adopting “resource-
appropriate” measures which allow the most effective treatment for the
greatest number of people will be advantageous to countries.
nn Prioritizing resources toward early stage and curable cancers is likely to have
the greatest health impact in low income settings.
nn Research prioritization is no longer just a global responsibility.
Providing cancer treatment requires adequate numbers of trained healthcare
professionals and infrastructure beyond what is available in most LMICs, especially low-
income countries. Careful patient monitoring is a requirement of good quality cancer
care and this often involves laboratory tests in addition to clinical examination. Even if
financing were immediately available to build or expand a cancer control system, reaching capacity will take many years.

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by
the Disease Control Priorities Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions,
childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and
undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality,
morbidity, stillbirth and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses
on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to
older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development
volume.
The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings:
i. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as
unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, non-sexually transmitted infections,
infertility, and violence against women.
ii. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved
and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems.
iii. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income
groups and investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both
health and financial risk.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AGING
Prospects for Healthy, Active, and Prosperous Aging in Europe and Central
Asia
By Maurizio Bussolo, Johannes Koettl, and Emily Sinnott
EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA STUDIES
March 2015. 240 pages.
Stock no. C210353
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0353-6).
US$35.00
Compared to other regions, Europe and Central Asia are by far the oldest. Moreover,
population aging is set to accelerate further over the coming decades as large
segments turn old. Additionally, some countries such as Russia and certain Eastern
European countries are facing a shrinkage of their population. Against this backdrop,
this report investigates what stands in the way of societies reaping the full benefits of
increased longevity—that is, longer lives and potentially prolonged payoffs from human
capital—and what can help to mitigate the possible negative impacts of a smaller and
older workforce.
Beginning with a focus on demographic trends, the report puts the rapid decline in
fertility and contrasting migration trends in the region in a historical perspective and
looks forward to the varying paths that population change may follow in the region.
Next, it examines the evidence on the likely impact of demographic change on growth
and savings, the labor force, firm and economy-wide innovation, poverty and inequality,
and intergenerational solidarity. Finally, the report goes beyond diagnostics and puts
an emphasis on what we know regarding successful policy interventions, presenting
evidence on what has and has not worked in the past.
AGING IN EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC
WORLD BANK EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC
REGIONAL REPORT
April 2015. 200 pages.
Stock no. C210469
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0469-4).
US$35.00
Aging is a challenge which countries in East Asia and Pacific (EAP) regions are
grappling with or will soon confront. It raises many questions for policymakers ranging
from potential macroeconomic impacts, to fiscal challenges of supporting pension,
health and long-term care systems, and labor market implications as countries seek
to promote productive aging. The urgency of the aging challenge varies across the
region, but it will confront all EAP countries in time and early preparation is essential
to avoid the missteps of other regions.
This report discusses the societal and public policy challenges and reform options
for EAP countries as they address aging. It aims to strike a balance between aging
optimists and pessimists. On the one hand, the impacts of aging on growth, labor
markets and public spending are not the unavoidable catastrophe often feared.
However, minimizing the downside risks of aging and ensuring healthy and productive
aging will require proactive public policy, political leadership, and new mindsets
across society. The report reviews the evidence on demographic transition in EAP
and its potential macroeconomic impact. It addresses the current policy environment
including pensions and social security, health, and long-term care and labor markets
to assess the risks of 'business as usual'. It also suggests policy directions to promote
healthy and productive aging in EAP, and emphasizes that aging is not just about older
people, but requires policy and behavioral change across the life cycle.

TRUST, VOICE, AND INCENTIVES
Learning from Local Successes in Service Delivery in the Middle East and
North Africa
By Hana Brixi, Ellen Lust, and Michael Woolcock
Stock no. C210456
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0456-4).
US$39.95
This report examines the role of incentives, trust, and engagement as critical
determinants of service delivery performance in MENA countries. Focusing on
education and health, the report illustrates how the weak external and internal
accountability undermines policy implementation and service delivery performance
and how such a cycle of poor performance can be counteracted. Case studies of local
success reveal the importance of both formal and informal accountability relationships
and the role of local leadership in inspiring and institutionalizing incentives toward
better service delivery performance.
Enhancing services for MENA citizens requires forging a stronger social contract
among public servants, citizens, and service providers while empowering communities
and local leaders to find 'best fit' solutions. Learning from the variations within
countries, especially the outstanding local successes, can serve as a solid basis for new
ideas and inspiration for improving service delivery. Such learning may help the World
Bank Group and other donors as well as national and local leaders and civil society, in
developing ways to enhance the trust, voice, and incentives for service delivery to meet
citizens’ needs and expectations.

The world economy is not what it used to be twenty years ago. For most of the 20th
century, the world economy was characterized by developed (North) countries acting
as 'center' to a 'periphery' of developing (South) countries. However, the recent rise of
developing economies suggests the need to go beyond this North-South dichotomy.
This tectonic re-configuration of the global landscape has brought about significant
changes to countries in the Latin America and Caribean (LAC) region. The time is ripe
for an in-depth analysis of the dynamics and nature of LAC's external connections.
This latest volume in the World Bank Latin American and Caribbean Studies series
will focus on the implications of these trends for the economic development of LAC
countries. In particular, trade, financial, macroeconomic, and sectoral shifts, as well as
labor-market aspects will be systematically analyzed.

OIL, GAS, AND MINING
A Sourcebook for Understanding the Extractive Industries
Edited by Peter D. Cameron and Michael Stanley
Stock no. C19658
(ISBN: 978-0-8213-9658-2).
US$25.95
Oil, Gas and Mining aims to provide developing countries with a technical
understanding and practical options around oil, gas, and mining sector development
issues.
A central premise of the Sourcebook is that good technical knowledge can better
inform political, economic, and social choices with respect to sector development
and the related risks and opportunities. The guidance provided by the Sourcebook
assumes a broad set of over-arching principles, all centered on good governance and
directed at achieving positive and broadly-based sustainable development outcomes.
The Sourcebook is intended for use by senior government officials and decision
makers and by supporting domestic and international technical specialists. It has
been developed through a partnership of universities, industry and civil society
organizations, and the World Bank.
The Sourcebook is available in print and in a constantly evolving online version at

BREAKING BARRIERS
Regional Integration in South Asia
By David Gould and Martin Rama
SOUTH ASIA DEVELOPMENT FORUM
Stock no. C210024
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0024-5).
US$29.95
South Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, but it is also one of the
least integrated. While trade within South Asia has been growing, it has grown more
slowly than trade with countries outside the region. The gains from greater integration
through commerce, power trade, and river basin management could be enormous.
Economic integration has also been shown to be a driver of economic convergence
across states and countries. And by building a common interest across borders, it
could provide a potential foundation for peace in one of the most volatile regions in the
world. But the gains are asymmetric and the current obstacles to greater integration
in South Asia are multiple. Tariff—and especially non-tariff—barriers undermine trade
in goods and services. Poor infrastructure connectivity and institutionally weak power
sector agencies prevent the flow of electricity across borders.
This book examines why the barriers to regional trade and cooperation have been
so difficult to overcome, evaluates the potential economic and poverty reduction
gains for greater regional integration, and proposes concrete policies, institutional
strengthening measures, and investments that South Asian countries may pursue to
tap into these unexploited benefits. Complementary avenues to regional integration
include: collective action by businesses, especially in smaller countries, strengthening
of supra-national institutions, and regional leadership by India.

This is the fourth and last volume in the set 'National Assessments of Educational
Achievement.' Effective assessment of the performance of educational systems is a key
component in developing policies to optimize the development of human capital around
the world. The five books in the National Assessments of Educational Achievement
series introduce key concepts in national assessments of student achievement levels,
from policy issues to address when designing and carrying out assessments through
test development, questionnaire design, sampling, organizing and carrying out data
collection, data cleaning, statistical analysis, report writing, and using results to
improve educational quality.
Analyzing Data from a National Assessment of Educational Achievement provides step–
by–step details on how to analyze data collected in a national assessment. Part I
provides a general introduction to statistical analyses covering measures of central
tendency and dispersion, standard error, mean score comparisons, identifying low
and high performers, correlation, introduction to regression, and charts and graphs.
Part II covers analysis of pilot and final tests, treatment of missing data, differential
item functioning, test dimensionality, linking national assessment results, rotated
booklet designs, setting proficiency or performance levels, and scaling. Users can
develop competence in each of the item and other data analysis procedures described
in the volume by working through the exercises on their computers and checking their
mastery levels against solutions presented in screenshots.
MACRO-FISCAL MANAGEMENT IN THE RESOURCE-
RICH COUNTRIES
Essentials for Economists and Public Finance Professionals
Stock no. C210495
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0495-3).
US$29.95
Macro-fiscal management addresses critical macroeconomic and macro-fiscal
challenges that are typically associated with large revenue flows from extractives.
The volume sets out indicators to assess the fiscal stance in resource rich countries,
then discusses fiscal policy in three related dimensions: short-run stabilization;
the management of fiscal risks and vulnerabilities; and the promotion of long-run
sustainability. The volume subsequently addresses institutional mechanisms put in
place in some resource rich countries to help fiscal management, and the role that
medium-term expenditure frameworks can play in enhancing fiscal policy formulation.
These mechanisms include resource funds, as well as fiscal rules and fiscal councils.
The volume also includes a discussion of revenue earmarking in resource rich
countries, and the resource price or revenue used in budgets, and covers briefly the
topic of fiscal transparency.

FINANCING TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
WITH LAND VALUES
Adapting Land Value Capture in Developing Countries

Cities in developing countries are experiencing unprecedented urban growth.
Unfortunately, this is often accompanied by the negative impacts of sprawl as a result
of rapid motorization such as congestion, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions,
inefficient use of energy and time, and unequal accessibility. As these cities are
often under severe fiscal constraints, they face great challenges in financing capital-
intensive mass transit systems to reverse the course of these negative trends.
Development-based land value capture (DBLVC) financing schemes being practiced
in Asian megacities like Hong Kong SAR, China, and Tokyo have helped them not only
to generate funds for transit investment and operational and maintenance costs but
also to promote sustainable urban development through transit-oriented development
(TOD).
Many rapidly growing cities in developing countries have the conditions for introducing
DBLVC – namely, strong economic growth, rising real incomes, and increased
motorization and congestion levels – all of which cause land value appreciation within
proximity of transit stations or corridors. If adapted well to local contexts, DBLVC
schemes have great potential to become an important strategic apparatus of urban
finance and planning for cities in developing countries. Through a careful analysis of
various case studies, this book provides strategies, policies, and methodologies that
policy makers and practitioners can apply in developing their own DBLVC schemes for
transit financing.

US$29.95
This book is based on the findings of analysis that measured the expansion and
population change in urban agglomerations across East Asia between 2000 and 2010.
It uses satellite imagery and population data to map urban area and populations
across East Asia, allowing a deeper understanding of urbaniszation patterns in the
region. Key findings show an overall rapid pace of urban growth, both in terms of
land and population, dominated mostly by China. In the coming decades, urban areas
will be the place where millions of East Asians will have the chance to leave extreme
poverty behind and to prosper. But getting the urban form, density, and administrative
coordination right will be essential to increase the odds of that happening.
There is much policy makers can do to influence urban growth in a coordinated
way both at a national level through a system of cities and at the level of individual
agglomerations to make urban growth more economically efficient, more socially
inclusive, and more environmentally sustainable.

OPENING THE BLACK BOX
Contextual Drivers of Social Accountability Effectiveness

NEW FRONTIERS OF SOCIAL POLICY
Stock no. C210481
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0481-6).
US$35.00
This volume fills an important knowledge gap by providing guidance on how to
assess contextual drivers of social accountability effectiveness, with the aim of more
strategically supporting citizen engagement at the country level and for a specific issue
or problem in a particular sector.
The authors propose a novel framing of social accountability as the interplay of five
constitutive elements citizen action and state action, supported by the three enabling
levers: civic mobilization, interface and information. For each of these five constitutive
elements, the authors identify 'drivers' of contextual effectiveness which take into
account a broad range of contextual factors (e.g., social, political, and intervention
based, including information and communication technologies).
The report offers detailed guidance on how to assess each driver. It also applies
the framework at two levels. At the country level, the report looks at 'archetypes' of
challenging country contexts, i.e., regimes with no formal space or full support for
citizen-state engagement referred to in the report as 'closed systems' and fragile and
conflict-affected situations. The report also illustrates the use of the framework to
analyze specific social accountability interventions through four case studies Sierra
Leone, Pakistan, Yemen, and the Kyrgyz Republic.

US$35.00
Regenerating Urban Land draws on the experience of eight different case studies from
around the world. The case studies outline various policy and financial instruments
to attract private sector investment in urban regeneration of underutilized/unutilized
areas and the requisite infrastructure improvements. In particular, each case study
is discussed in detail throughout the project cycle, from the scoping phase and
determination of initial amount of public sector investment, to implementation
and subsequent leveraged private-sector funds. It analyzes rates of return on
the investments and long-term financial sustainability. The manual guides local
governments to systematically identify the sequence of steps and tasks needed to
develop a regeneration policy framework, with the participation of private sector.
The manual formulates specific policies and instruments for i) the expanding private
sector participation; ii) structuring effective administrative and legal frameworks;
iii) utilizing land readjustment/assembly methods; iv) determining duration of
contracts, adequate phasing and timeline; and v) balancing the distribution of risk and
sustainability measures.

RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGE OF FRAGILITY

US$29.95
Since its independence, the West African sub region has been the focus of a number
of large-scale conflicts, civil wars, and various low-intensity conflicts. The turn of
the millennium has witnessed the recession of large-scale and conventional conflict,
but ushered in a series of new and emerging threats. The spectrum of religious
extremism, maritime piracy, and narcotics trafficking threatens to undermine some of
the progress achieved in recent years.
This study seeks to critically examine the challenges of fragility and security in West
Africa along with the factors of resilience. It seeks to investigate key drivers of conflict
and violence while exploring how the sub region, through the auspices of the regional
organization ECOWAS, has become a pioneer on the continent in terms of addressing
regional challenges.
This study also seeks to identify key lessons in the dynamics of resilience against
political violence and civil war drawn from countries such as Sierra Leone, Liberia,
and Cote d’Ivoire that can be useful for countries around the world in the midst
of similar situations. Finally, it draws on knowledge and findings from a series
background papers written by leading experts, and provides insights from the
perspectives of academics and development practitioners.
SAFETY NETS IN AFRICA
Effective Mechanisms to Reach the Poor and Most Vulnerable

US$35.00
The need for safety nets in Sub-Saharan Africa is vast. In addition to being the world’s
poorest region, Sub-Saharan Africa is also one of the most unequal. In this context,
redistribution must be seen as a legitimate way to fight poverty and ensure shared
prosperity - and all the more so in countries where growth is driven by extractive
industries that are not labor-intensive and often employ very few poor people. Given
that most African countries face difficult decisions about how to allocate limited
resources among a number of social programs, evidence is important. Do Safety Net
programs actually benefit the poorest people? This book demonstrates with empirical
evidence that it is possible to reach the poorest and most vulnerable people with
safety net programs, and provides lessons for the effective use of targeting methods to
achieve this outcome in the region.

DEVELOPMENT AS FREEDOM IN A DIGITAL AGE
Experiences from the Rural Poor in Bolivia

Stock no. C210420
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0420-5).
US$44.95
Under what conditions can new technologies enhance the well-being of poor
communities? The study designs an alternative evaluation framework (AEF) that applies
Amartya Sen’s capability approach to the study of information and communications
technologies (ICTs) in order to place people’s well-being, rather than technology, at the
center of the study. The AEF develops an impact chain that examines the mechanisms
by which access to, and meaningful use of, ICTs can enhance people’s “informational
capabilities” and improve people’s human and social capabilities. This approach thus
uses people’s individual and collective capabilities, rather than measures of access or
use, as its principal evaluative space.
Based on empirical evidence from indigenous communities’ use of new technologies
in rural Bolivia, the study concludes that enhancing poor people’s informational
capabilities is the most critical factor determining the impact of ICTs on their well-
being. Improved informational capabilities, like literacy, do enhance the human
capabilities of poor and marginalized peoples to make strategic life choices and achieve
the lifestyle they value.
The study concludes that intermediaries are bound to play a central, even fundamental,
role in this process. They help poor communities to enact and appropriate ICTs to their
local socio-cultural context so that their use becomes meaningful for people’s daily lives, enhances their informational
capabilities, and ultimately improves their human and social capabilities.
LAND DELIVERY SYSTEMS IN WEST AFRICAN CITIES
The Example of Bamako

Stock no. C210433
(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0433-5).
US$29.95
Urban and peri-urban land markets in rapidly expanding West African cities operate
within and across different coexisting tenure regimes and involve complex procedures
to obtain or make land available for housing. Because a structured framework lacks
for the analysis of such systems, this book proposes a systemic approach and applies it
to Bamako and its surrounding areas. The framework revolves around the description
of land delivery channels: starting from the status of tenure when the land is first
placed in circulation for residential use, it identifies the processes whereby tenure can
be improved, the types of transactions that take place along the way, and interactions
between land delivery channels.
The analysis of the system shows that land is initially provided through a customary
land delivery channel—which predominates in peri-urban areas where land is being
transformed from agricultural to residential use—and through a public and para-public
channel, which involves the administrative allocation of residential plots to inhabitants
and the transfer of land to developers. Targeted towards low and middle-incomes, it
also attracts wealthy and well-connected buyers who have access to information and
administrative and political power and can more easily formalize tenure. The sustained
increase in land prices, numerous conflicts over land, high transaction costs and time-
consuming formalization procedures, together with the involvement of a large number
of stakeholders, combine to reduce affordability significantly and make access to secure
land very difficult for the urban poor.

(ISBN: 978-0-8213-8485-5).
US$25.00
Over recent decades the Latin America and the Caribbean region has seen a dramatic
and virtually uninterrupted rise in female labor force participation. Women there have
increased their participation faster than in any other region of the world, adding nearly
70 million women to the labor force. Female enrollment rates from primary to tertiary
education have increased to the point of closing or even reversing the gender gap.
Family structures have changed markedly, and fertility rates have started to decline.
And social norms have shifted toward gender equality.
Recent research from developed countries has stressed the roles and interactions of
microsocial factors in determining the economic opportunities available to women
and, by extension, the evolution of female economic participation (such as labor supply
and sectoral choices). These factors include human capital (education and health),
social norms and preferences, and family formation and household structure.
Work and Family views the evolution of female participation through this micro lens,
drawing on the emerging literature on family formation and household structure,
which views many important choices as resulting from intrahousehold bargaining.
Without negating the ongoing agenda to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace,
this approach shifts the focus to dynamics within the household and provides a
powerful framework for interpreting the evolution of gender-related patterns.

Many developing countries have the capacity to develop broad development policy
directions and formulate development programs that are logical and consistent,
but these do not obtain the desired or targeted results because of challenges in
the delivery system. It is increasingly apparent that development efforts must be
carefully crafted and targeted in the right way to achieve the most effective results in
an efficient manner. Recent literature in development studies evidence the important
role of 'delivery' in actualizing positive and efficient development impact. Improving
delivery and development impact requires a multidisciplinary approach. Development
practitioners devoted to rule of law and justice must conjoin their efforts, concepts,
tools and knowledge with experts from various disciplines so as to shape a delivery
system that adds economic and social value to ultimate beneficiaries of development.
In the foregoing light, the book brings together the diverse perspectives of
development experts, international lawyers, academics, researchers, legal
practitioners, public and civil servants, and other professionals, in order to explore the
values of voice, social contract and accountability, and thereby address the following
issue:
How can law and justice tools, concepts and knowledge — when anchored in values
such as voice, social contract and accountability — shape a delivery system that adds
economic and social value to ultimate beneficiaries of development?

The Services Trade Competitiveness Diagnostic (STCD) Toolkit provides a framework,
guidelines, and set of practical tools to conduct a thorough analysis and diagnostic of
trade competitiveness in the services sector with a methodology that sheds light on a
country's ability both to export services and improve its export performance through
policy change.
The STCD Toolkit is designed to be used in a modular way. Either a full country
diagnostic can be undertaken or various parts of the toolkit can be used to address
specific questions of interest, whether they pertain to existing services performance,
the potential for expansion and growth in services trade, or policy options to increase
competitiveness in services trade. The output of an STCD can be used to assess either
the overall performance of a country's services sector or the performance of individual
sub-sectors.
The STCD Toolkit complements the analytical framework for trade in goods provided
by the Trade Competitiveness Diagnostic Toolkit (World Bank, 2012), and allows
policymakers and experts in developing countries to better integrate services into
their overall trade strategies. In addition, it will also be of interest to international
organizations and development practitioners in both policymaking institutions and
academia.

Deliberation is the process by which a group of people, each with equal voice, can – via
a process of discussion and debate – reach an agreement.
Deliberation and Development attempts to do two things. First, it rethinks the role of
deliberation in development and shows that it has potential well beyond a narrow focus
on participatory projects. Deliberation, if properly instituted, has the potential to have
a transformative effect on many if not all aspects of development, and especially in
addressing problems of collective action, coordination and entrenched inequality. This
has broad implications both at the global and local level.
Second, the book demonstrates that taking deliberation seriously calls for a different
approach to both research and policy design and requires a much greater emphasis
on the processes by which decisions are made, rather than an exclusive focus on
the outcomes. Deliberation and Development contributes to a broader literature to
understand the role of communicative processes in development.

In recent years, global value chains have played an increasingly important role
in business strategies, profoundly affecting international trade and development
paradigms. Global value chains now represent a major source for upgrading social
opportunities and a new path for development.
This toolkit provides a framework, guidelines, and analytical and practical tools for
conducting an analysis and diagnostics of a country's performance with respect
to participation in global value chains. With a clear operational focus, it provides
guidance for countries willing to join, maintain participation, and/or move up
global value chains. With the ultimate objective to increase the value for trade and
development, it also offers strategies to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks
of developing countries' participation in global value chains.

US$39.95
Over the last decade, the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region has
experienced a steady decline in poverty rates. This trend has been accompanied by
strong income growth of the bottom 40 percent, the World Bank Group's indicator
for measuring shared prosperity. Nonetheless, further poverty reduction and steady
income growth of the bottom 40 percent face challenges as LAC has witnessed both a
slowdown of economic activity and a decline in the pace of inequality reduction. This
book recognizes that the emphasis on improving the welfare of the less well-off in LAC
requires transformational policies that restore growth and preserve macroeconomic
stability, while at the same time reinforcing the ability of the less advantaged groups to
participate in and contribute to growth.
This book unpacks the trends and drivers of poverty reduction and shared prosperity
in eleven LAC countries while also discussing the sustainability of development
patterns at the country level. An overview chapter takes a comprehensive look at the
heterogeneity of social outcomes and development challenges across this region of
the world. Drawing upon the country chapters, four policy areas emerge which are
relevant for reinforcing the links between growth and equity in LAC: (1) equitable
and sustainable fiscal and macroeconomic policies; (2) fair and accountable public
institutions capable of delivering quality basic services; (3) accessible and competitive
markets; and (4) adequate risk management.

JOBS OR PRIVILEGES
Unleashing the Employment Potential of the Middle East and North Africa

The report Jobs or Privileges: Unleashing the Employment Potential of the
Middle East and North Africa shows that policies that lower competition and
create an uneven playing field are common and constrain private sector job
creation. These policies take different forms across countries and sectors but
share several common features: They limit free entry in the domestic market,
exclude certain firms from government programs, increase regulatory
burden and uncertainty on the majority of firms, insulate certain firms and
sectors from foreign competition, and create incentives that discourage
domestic firms from competing in international markets.
Jobs or Privileges demonstrates that these policies are often captured by
a few privileged firms with deep political connections and persist despite
their cost to society. As such, MENA countries face a critical choice as they
strive to generate greater private sector growth and more jobs: promote
competition, provide equal opportunities for all entrepreneurs, and dismantle
the current system of privileges for connected firms or risk perpetuating the
current equilibrium of low job creation. However, the millions of workers,
consumers, and the majority of entrepreneurs who bear the brunt of that
cost are often unaware of the adverse effects of such policies on the jobs
and economic opportunities to which they aspire. This lack of information
and awareness limits the scope for the internal debate and policy dialogue
necessary for reform.

(ISBN: 978-1-4648-0475-5).
US$35.00
Water systems are building blocks for poverty alleviation, shared growth, sustainable
development and green growth strategies. They require data from in-situ observation
networks. Budgetary and other constraints have taken a toll on their operation
and there are many regions in the world where the data are scarce or unreliable.
Increasingly, remote sensing satellite-based earth observation is becoming
an alternative. This book briefly describes some key global water challenges,
perspectives for remote sensing approaches, and the importance for the World Bank
water resources-related activities. It describes eight key types of water resources
management variables, a list of sensors that can produce such information and a
description of existing data products with examples.
This book provides a series of practical guidelines that can be used by project leaders
to decide whether remote sensing may be useful for the problem at hand and suitable
data sources to consider if so. The book concludes with a review of the literature on
reliability statistics of remote-sensed estimations.

US$25.00
Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design
describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought
about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design.
The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. A
background on the risks relevant in water systems planning is provided, the different
approaches to scenario definition in water system planning are described, as well as
an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is
based.
The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and
clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While
applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is
consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk.
The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of
analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example
is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision
making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The
tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where
similar challenges arise.
