💡Driving Revolutionary Ideas into Practice
Thrilled to share the latest publication from The World Bank – Development Impact Evaluation (DIME), addressing crucial topics for our shared future.
📍Here’s a sneak peek at the themes covered:
1️⃣ Infrastructure for Climate Change : This section delves into optimizing investment returns in infrastructure and better managing climate change risks, particularly water-related, through cost-effective complementary interventions and smart reforms.
2️⃣ Reducing Poverty 2.0 : This part examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social protection systems and demonstrates how approaches to support the most vulnerable can dramatically affect their ability to escape poverty and sustainably improve their living conditions.
In practical terms, providing time-limited assistance to vulnerable households for a period of 12 to 24 months can be pivotal in their ability to break free from poverty.
✅️ In Niger, the economic inclusion program increased consumption and food security by 15 percent and these impacts were sustained 18 months later.
3️⃣ Human Development on Mobile: Mobile technology and social media are revolutionizing access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Controlled Edutainment dissemination could bridge inequalities and foster a more equitable society.
4️⃣ Government, Disrupted: This chapter highlights how research and digitalization can work together to transform and enhance public service efficiency and quality, thereby significantly impacting the economy.
