2002 Annual Review of Development Effectiveness: Achieving Development Outcomes : The Millennium Challenge (Inglese)

admin — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 10:59:03 +0000

This review assesses, using available evaluation evidence, how the World Bank’s country sector, and global programs are helping clients work toward the MDGs and related targets. The findings of this year’s Annual Review indicate that the Bank’s country, sector, and global programs are consistent with the MDG themes and have increasingly focused on poverty reduction. They also suggest several areas for increased emphasis, some of which are receiving greater Bank attention. Above all, the Bank needs to more fully assess the implications at the corporate, country, sector, and global levels of the MDGs and address these implications in its use of lending and administrative resources.

Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Research in Development Projects (Inglese)

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:33:10 +0000

Much of the early work on poverty was highly quantitative:… It became increasingly clear, however, that while numbers are essential for policy and monitoring purposes, it is also important to understand people’s perception of poverty and their mechanisms for coping with poverty and other situations of extreme economic and social stress.Researchers have recognized over the past few years that quantitative analysis of the incidence and trends in poverty, while essential for national economic development planning, must be complemented by qualitative methods that help planners and managers understand the cultural, social, political, and institutional context within which projects are designed and implemented.

Poor People’s Knowledge: Promoting Intellectual Property in Developing Countries (Inglese)

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 15:28:04 +0000

How can we help poor people earn more from their knowledge–rather than from their sweat and muscle alone? This book is about increasing the earnings of poor people in poor countries from their innovation, knowledge, and creative skills. Case studies look at the African music industry; traditional crafts and ways to prevent counterfeit crafts designs; the activities of fair trade organizations; biopiracy and the commercialization of ethnobotanical knowledge; the use of intellectual property laws and other tools to protect traditional knowledge. The contributors motivation is sometimes to maintain the art and culture of poor people, but they recognize that except in a museum setting, no traditional skill can live on unless it has a viable market
