Municipalities in Mozambique were
established by law in 1997 and elected in 1998 for the first
time, only a few years after the peace agreement. Most
inherited archaic and dysfunctional remnants of colonial and
central government systems and infrastructure, and as such
limited progress was achieved in transforming them into
functioning local governments during the first mandate
(1998-2002). During the second mandate (2003-2008), however,
significant improvements were seen as municipalities began
to grasp the nettle of local governance and some service
delivery challenges. By the end of their first decade most
municipalities have reorganized themselves to some extent
and a number have undertaken initiatives that are beginning
to bear fruit. There remains a long way to go, however,
before municipalities will be robust enough to deliver
quality local services to meet growing demand. There is a
danger that the pace of municipal technical and financial
capacity development will be overtaken by the growing
municipal population and by transfers of additional
mandates. Municipalities...

The main objective of the Country
Environmental Analysis (CEA) in Nepal is to identify
opportunities for enhancing the overall performance of
select environmental management systems through improvements
in the effectiveness of institutions, policies, and
processes. CEA has been built upon the following three
primary study components: (a) an examination of the
environmental issues associated with infrastructure
development, focusing on the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) process in priority growth sectors; (b) an analysis of
environmental issues linked to rapid urbanization, focusing
on the growing problems of solid waste, poor air quality,
and industrial pollution, and the resulting impacts on
environmental health; and (c) an analysis of the policy and
institutional underpinnings related to key environmental
management systems at the national and local levels. This
report provides the basis for a discussion of the challenges
and options facing Nepal in regard to improving the
performance of key environmental management systems and
institutions to support its growth and poverty alleviation agenda.

This report develops and discusses a new
analytical framework to understand the functions of civil
society in peace building. In theory and practice, there is
a wide variety of ways to categorize civil society
contributions to development and peacebuilding. Donors tend
to employ actor-oriented perspectives, focusing on
supporting activities of different types of civil society
organizations in a given situation. This report proposes to
move toward a functional perspective, centered on the roles
that different actors can play in conflict situations. The
analysis shows that civil society can make numerous positive
contributions and have unique potential to support
peacebuilding and conflict mitigation. It can do so
independently as actor in its own right, or in relation to
peacebuilding processes and programs led by Governments or
the international community. Despite many successful
initiatives on the ground, however, civil society should not
be considered a panacea. The existence of civil society per
se cannot be equated with the existence of peacebuilding
actors. Similarly...

Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a prominent role in conflict-affected and fragile states. In the absence of capable or credible public institutions due to conflict or weak policy environments, CSOs tend to substitute for public institutions and become primary providers of basic social services. At the same time, the international donor community has increased its involvement in countries affected by conflict and instability, often relying increasingly on CSOs to reach the poor. While the prominent role of CSOs in social service delivery and other development activities is often seen as an interim solution, it may extend for years, even decades. Recognizing that reliance on CSOs is likely to prevail for the foreseeable future in many countries, there is a need to consider how to make CSO engagement more effective and sustainable. The objective of this report is to identify approaches to more effectively engage CSOs in the context of weak public institutions in conflict-affected and fragile states. The report will: 1) Examine the roles, strengths, and weaknesses of CSOs in terms of service delivery, community development, advocacy, peace building, and governance; 2) Identify the factors that influence CSO effectiveness in performing these functions; 3) Assess donor influence on CSOs and their indirect influence on governance by supporting CSOs; and 4) Discuss the relationship between CSOs and government including their changing roles...

The Horn of Africa (HoA) region has many
security and development challenges whose origins and
consequences go well beyond the borders of individual
countries. It is also a region with many human assets and
resource endowments, and some of the most dynamic economies
in the world. Despite its numerous challenges, the Horn of
Africa offers significant potential to address cross-border
issues that can help transform its countries and the region.
This paper describes a World Bank Group (WBG) initiative to
address some of the key drivers of instability in the HoA
and promote development in the area. The initiative is
intended to build on and complement the large country and
regional programs the WBG and other partners are already
supporting in the HoA, bringing value by addressing a number
of issues which demand cross-border collaborative solutions
to reducing fragility and instability. The central
rationale to this initiative is that WBG cannot effectively
support the elimination of extreme poverty and boost shared
prosperity in the region without engaging more intensively
and creatively in addressing very difficult development
problems...

This report was produced for the Global
Program on Forced Displacement and describes why and how to
conduct political economy analysis (PEA) of forced
displacement. It also illustrates how PEA may contribute to
understanding forced displacement crises with nine case
studies: Casamance (Senegal), Colombia, Cote dapos;Ivoire,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, the Philippines,
Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe. Forced displacement is
understood here as a situation where persons are forced to
leave or flee their homes due to conflict, violence, or
human rights violations. The key elements of forced
displacement PEAs include: i) a review of the historical
context and displacement characteristics; ii) durable
solutions prospects; iii) environmental, geographic, social,
political, and economic drivers, constraints and
opportunities; (iv) needs of the displaced and hosts; v)
existing policies, government/institutional context, and
operations; and vi) recommendations. Recommendations on
development policies and programs that result from a PEA
characteristically fall into at least four categories...

To follow up country work supported by
the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing, the World
Bank Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) received funding
from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to support
projects to scale up the promotion of handwashing with soap
(HWWS) in Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam. The major
project objectives of the handwashing Initiative are: (i)
inculcate the HWWS habit among millions of mothers and
children in these countries; (ii) use a strong monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) component to enhance the
conceptualizing and management of such programs; and (iii)
establish sustainable programs that will continue and expand
after this four-year grant ends. Evaluation of actual impact
on knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding HWWS shows
some positive and some inconclusive findings. However, the
study team feels that much excellent groundwork for the
expanded program in Peru has been solidly laid by efforts to
date and that, in combination with strong political will
from the national government and a certain level of
guaranteed funding...

The handloom weaving project is an
undertaking of the women of Dayawan, Marawi City of
Philippines, implemented by the Philippine Foundation for
Resource Management (PFRM) with financial support from the
Philippines-Australia Community Assistance Program (PACAP)
in cooperation with the local government and the department
of trade and industry. The project is a unique venture
strengthening both the private sector development and
women's empowerment. It has also contributed to the
peace and development initiatives in the autonomous region
of Muslim Mindanao. Handloom weaving has now become the
center of today's thriving local economy of Dayawan.
This home-based handloom weaving project has revived,
preserved, and further developed a centuries-old tradition
and industry. But in order for this cultural heritage to
guarantee a living, concrete economic benefits should be
felt by the weavers and their families. This project has
proved its economic viability and financial profitability.
Slowly it is being mainstreamed into the market. It has
diversified its products and mainstreamed its product base
to more utilitarian and consumer items such as bags...

The purpose of this report is to provide
the reader with an overview of some of the issues relating
to women and information and communication technology (ICT)
in the developing world in contrast to the developed world.
Where possible, men's engagement will be added also as
a contrast, but the focus of this working paper is on women,
not gender. This is not to suggest that a focus on gender is
not of value, it is. But understanding the unique
perspectives of women is the first step in addressing the
larger issues of diversity and, specifically, gender, which
has started to receive much attention from other
organizations. This paper presents how and why ICT impact
women and men differently and the implications of
women's lack of engagement, participation, and
leadership in the knowledge society through ICT for business
and development. The paper will also highlight examples of
best practices and weaknesses in assumed best practices to
provide opportunities for full scale execution of efforts to
achieve measurable outcomes in achieving the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). An important focus is the need to
move many of the carefully incubated gender policies and

This report presents the results of the
study on the demobilization and reinsertion of excombatants
from illegal armed groups in Colombia. The report describes
and analyzes the Colombian case, compares it with
international experience, discusses critical issues of the
current program, and presents options to improve its design
and implementation. The study responds to a request by the
Colombian government to conduct an assessment of the
previous and current approaches to demobilization and
reinsertion in Colombia and, in light of national and
international experience, to present options to improve the
program. This study relied principally on secondary data and
information from existing studies, essays, and press
articles produced by government agencies, nongovernmental
organizations, United Nations and bilateral agencies,
specialized analysts, and media. The analysis also used
primary information collected for the study, including: (1)
information from interviews with government and
non-government sources about the current condition of
individuals demobilized during the 1990s; (2) the profiles
of a sample of young excombatants (18-26 years old) enrolled
in the current reinsertion program in Medellin and Bogota;
(3) the assessment of the demobilization and reinsertion
experience of the 1990s as viewed by leaders of existing
foundations from four of the demobilized groups; and (4) a
special work session held with 50 representatives from
diverse private-sector associations and businesses. This
study assesses Colombia's experience using a framework
of five interwoven phases from armed conflict to peace:

The objective of this economic sector
work (ESW) is to address these gaps by piloting a
methodology capable of quickly and cost-effectively
introducing into adaptation planning processes an
appreciation of the significance of climate change impacts
for poor people in informal urban settlements. Specifically
in the two case study sites (Mombasa in Kenya and Esteli in
Nicaragua) sought to: a) make visible climate change impacts
of various kinds on poor people; b) illustrate what poor
households, small businesses and groups in communities are
doing to cope with such climate change impacts (experienced
as increasingly variable and capricious weather patterns);
and c) identify how policy and institutional systems can
best build on local realities to develop pro-poor urban
climate change adaptation actions, particularly relating to
resilience. The report introduces an asset-based framework
to analyze the vulnerability of urban poor people to severe
weather events whose frequency or intensity climate change

This document presents the recently
elected Colombian administration with a set of policy notes
meant to enrich the debate around critical issues affecting
the country's development. These notes build mostly
upon existing research and represent the Bank's
independent view on topics which are either at the crux of
ongoing policy discussions or merit a more prominent place
in this dialogue. This window of opportunity provides a very
favorable setting for advancing aggressive interventions to
further alleviate poverty and inequality. Even as a country
with a long history of solid growth and stable democratic
institutions, poverty remains a critical issue for Colombia.
Years of consistent economic growth throughout the 1980s and
early 1990s lifted many out of poverty, but the
macroeconomic crisis at the end of the 1990s eradicated more
than a decade of progress. The notes have been grouped
around four strategic issues: challenges and constraints for
the reform process, investing in people, laying the
foundations for competitiveness...

Presented in this study are nine
development initiatives in six less developed countries -
Afghanistan, Cambodia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Timor Leste
and Uganda. The cases show that development initiatives,
which engage local communities and local level governments,
are often able to have significant impact. However, for more
substantial improvements to take places, localized gains
need to be scaled up either horizontally (other localities)
or vertically (to higher levels). Given the advantages of
working at the local level and the difficulty of working
through mainstream bureaucratic agencies at higher levels in
these countries, donors often prefer to create
'parallel-agencies' to reach out to larger numbers
of beneficiaries. However, this may in the long run weaken
the legitimacy of mainstream government institutions, and
donor agencies may therefore choose to work as closely as
possible with government officials from the beginning to
build trust and demonstrating that new initiatives are
non-threatening and help prepare the eventual mainstreaming
of parallel agencies.
