Book excerpt: Sector Investment Programs (SIPs) are an integral part of the World Bank's strategy for renewal in Africa. The objective of the study was therefore to examine the key elements of SIPs, to explain their rationale, and to prepare a practical guide for their preparation. Further, the objective was to assess the likely number of such programs that can be expected to be seen over the next few years, and to serve as a pedagogic tool in disseminating the new approach, both to borrowers and to other donors. SIPs offer a real alternative approach that is generating higher impact on the ground. The operations are expensive to prepare (especially for the lead donor), but significantly reduce costs over the medium term. SIPs are only possible when there is genuine local commitment to such an approach, and where there exists goodwill among the donor community, especially amongst those actively present in the country.

Download or read book Sector Investment Programs in Africa written by Stephen P. Jones and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Asia has made much progress in deregulation and liberalization in the 1990s, but it still remains one of the least integrated regions in the world. However, this general trend masks wide disparities among South Asian nations: the larger economies tend to be more highly protected, with low import penetration rates, while the smaller economies are relatively more open. If the current reform program continues, the benefits of liberalization will translate into higher growth. This report reviews the regions economic performance from an international perspective and the steps taken to increase integration, especially in terms of financial integration (increased foreign direct investment, portfolio and capital flows) and regional integration (intra-regional trade, regional arrangements). Chapters also discuss the economic outlook for the region and prospects for South Asian exports such as textiles and clothing.
Download or read book Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deteriorating condition of federal facilities poses economic, safety, operational, and environmental risks to the federal government, to the achievement of the missions of federal agencies, and to the achievement of public policy goals. Primary factors underlying this deterioration are the age of federal facilities-about half are at least 50 years old-and decades of inadequate investment for their maintenance and repair. These issues are not new and there are no quick fixes. However, the current operating environment provides both the impetus and the opportunity to place investments in federal facilities' maintenance and repair on a new, more sustainable course for the 21st Century. Despite the magnitude of investments, funding for the maintenance and repair of federal facilities has been inadequate for many years, and myriad projects have been deferred. Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities identifies processes and practices for transforming the current portfolio of federal facilities into one that is more economically, physically, and environmentally sustainable. This report addresses ways to predict or quantify the outcomes that can be expected from a given level of maintenance and repair investments in federal facilities or facilities' systems, and what strategies, measures, and data should be in place to determine the actual outcomes of facilities maintenance and repair investments.

Download or read book Best Practices in State and Regional Innovation Initiatives written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the policy discussion about stimulating innovation has focused on the federal level. This study focuses on the significant activity at the state level, with the goal of improving the public's understanding of key policy strategies and exemplary practices. Based on a series of workshops and conferences that brought together policymakers along with leaders of industry and academia in a select number of states, the study highlights a rich variety of policy initiatives underway at the state and regional level to foster knowledge based growth and employment. Perhaps what distinguishes this effort at the state level is most of all the high degree of pragmatism. Operating out of necessity, innovation policies at the state level often involve taking advantage of existing resources and recombining them in new ways, forging innovative partnerships among universities, industry and government organizations, growing the skill base, and investing in the infrastructure to develop new technologies and new industries. Many of these initiatives are being guided by leaders from the private sector and universities. The objective of Best Practices in State and Regional Innovation Initiatives: Competing in the 21st Century is not to do an empirical review of the inputs and outputs of various state programs. Nor is it to evaluate which programs are superior. Indeed, some of the notable successes, such as the Albany nanotechnology cluster, represent a leap of leadership, investment, and sustained commitment that has had remarkable results in an industry that is actively pursued by many countries. The study's goal is to illustrate the approaches taken by a variety of highly diverse states as they confront the increasing challenges of global competition for the industries and jobs of today and tomorrow.

Book excerpt: This handbook updates and expands upon the learning in IFC's 2000 community development resource guide entitled, Investing in People: Sustaining Communities through Improved Business Practice. It was produced in response to demand from companies for updated how-to guidance and current good practice approaches. Companies around the world engage in community investment efforts as a way to promote local development and benefit stakeholders in their areas of operations. For the private sector, effective community investment programs can help companies gain a social license to operate, access land, reduce project and reputational risks, boost productivity, meet government requirements or global standards, and/or successfully compete for the next venture. The aim of this handbook is to help IFC client companies and the wider private sector operating in emerging markets to think strategically about how they can support community investment programs that are successful, sustainable, and consistent with their business objectives. The handbook is meant for use by anyone who is interested in developing a company-supported community investment program or improving the performance of an existing one. The content of the handbook is organized around seven key areas comprising a comprehensive strategic planning framework for community investment. To help users with practical application, the Handbook is also supplemented by additional tools and information which are included in the tools section or listed under useful references.
