Rural DevelopmentClass number: 339.4 Abstract: "Beating the odds"- The story of Mozambique is one of successful transformation. Since 1994, when it faced a decimated infrastructure, a weak economy, and fragile institutions, it has sustained high economic growth and has made tangible reductions in poverty. Its recovery from civil conflict and extreme poverty make it a showcase for other nations embarking on similar transitions.Still, more than half of the population lives in poverty. Gaps persist between city dwellers and farmers, men and women, rich and poor. And although growth continues, there is concern that Mozambique's drive to reduce poverty may lose momentum as happens in many countries recovering from conflict. If the successes of the past are to be extended into the future, policy makers must take stock of what has worked and what has not as they develop new ways of improving the living standards of all Mozambicans.Beating the Odds: Sustaining Inclusion in Mozambique's Growing Economy focuses on changes in poverty and household community welfare from 1997 through 2003. It uses monetary, human, and social indicators in combination with quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand poverty trends within the country and the dynamics that shaped them. Intended to support the development and implementation of pro-poor policies, its integration of poverty, gender, and social analysis will be of particular interest to policy makers, development practitioners, academics, and researchers Contents note: Poverty’s Many Dimensions in Mozambique; The Mechanisms of Shared Growth; Agricultural Growth, Diversification and Mobility; Government Expenditure Policies and the Poor; Getting the State Closer to Its Poor Citizens; The Impact of Hiv/Aids in Mozambique; The Poverty Reduction Strategy; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13301 Hold

Rural DevelopmentClass number: 338 Abstract: "Breaking the cycle"- Burundi, situated in the heart of the Great Lakes Region, is one of the poorest nations in the world. Beset by coups d'tats, presidential assassinations and genocide, the country has been caught in a cycle of violence and under-development whereby brief periods of peace have been followed by further state repression and armed conflict. The 2000 Arusha peace accords, the Pretoria agreement of late 2003, the peaceful elections of 2005, and the recent Dar es Salaam peace agreement with the Forces Nationales de Libration have ushered in a period of relative stability. This fragile political process, however, has not been matched by a parallel rebound in economic growth that has been observed in post-conflict African countries and is a precondition for long-lasting peace.This work aims to identify areas in Burundi's rural economy with the greatest immediate potential to stimulate growth and consolidate peace over the next years. The short-term focus will be on the rural economy. It is vital however that the Government of Burundi and its partners address other critical areas in the medium term to sustain growth. The industrial and service sectors are of particular significance, as they need to absorb a burgeoning, youthful and increasingly urbanized generation. The first challenge is to take stock of international best practices and Burundian history, and develop a sound agricultural base as the critical foundation for sustainable growth. Our work identifies policy reforms and investments with potential to boost food supply and strengthen export crop competitiveness, thereby expanding rural growth.

Title : Finance for all? : policies and pitfalls in expanding access Material Type: printed text Authors: Aslı Demirgüç-Kunt, Author Publisher: Washington D.C. : The World Bank Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: xv, 246 p. Layout: ill. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-8213-7291-3 General note: Includes bibliographical references (p. 213-235) and index Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Finance and Financial Sector Development
Private Sector DevelopmentClass number: 332 Abstract: "Finance for all"- Access to financial services varies sharply around the world. In many developing countries less than half the population has an account with a financial institution, and in most of Africa less than one in five households do. Lack of access to finance is often the critical mechanism for generating persistent income inequality, as well as slower growth. Finance for All?: Policies and Pitfalls in Expanding Access documents the extent of financial exclusion around the world; addresses the importance of access to financial services for growth, equity and poverty reduction; and discusses policy interventions and institutional reforms that can improve access for underserved groups. The report is a broad ranging review of the work already completed or in progress, drawing on research utilizing data at the country, firm and household level. Given that financial systems in many developing countries serve only a small part of the population, expanding access remains an important challenge across the world, leaving much for governments to do. However, not all government actions are equally effective and some policies can be counterproductive. The report sets out principles for effective government policy on broadening access, drawing on the available evidence and illustrating with examples. Contents note: Access to finance and development : theory and measurement; Theory : the crucial role of access to finance; Measurement : indicators of access to finance; Firms' access to finance : entry, growth, and productivity; Access to finance : determinants and implications; The channels of impact : micro and macro evidence; Transforming the economy : differences in impact; Household access to finance : poverty alleviation and Risk Mitigation; Finance, inequality, and poverty; Providing financial access to households and microentrepreneurs : how and by whom?; Reaching out to the poor or to the excluded? Government's Role in facilitating access; Expanding access : importance of long-term institution building; Specific policies to facilitate financial access; Policies to promote competition and stability; Government interventions in the market; Political economy of access; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13342 Hold

Macroeconomics and Economic GrowthClass number: 336 Abstract: Fiscal policy in Latin America has been guided primarily by short-term liquidity targets whose observance was taken as the main exponent of fiscal prudence, with attention focused almost exclusively on the levels of public debt and the cash deficit. Very little attention was paid to the effects of fiscal policy on growth and on macroeconomic volatility over the cycle. Important issues such as the composition of public expenditures (and its effects on growth), the ability of fiscal policy to stabilize cyclical fluctuations, and the currency composition of public debt were largely neglected. As a result, fiscal policy has often amplified cyclical volatility and dampened growth. Fiscal Policy, Stabilization, and Growth explores the conduct of fiscal policy in Latin America and its consequences for macroeconomic stability and long-term growth. In particular, the book highlights the procyclical and anti-investment biases embedded in the region's fiscal policies, explores their causes and macroeconomic consequences, and asesses their possible solutions. Contents note: Overview: fiscal policy, economic fluctuations and growth; Procyclical fiscal policy and volatility; Fiscal discipline, volatility and growth; The size and effectiveness of fiscal automatic stabilizers in Latin America; Fiscal federalism and procyclical spending: the cases of Argentina and Brazil; Fiscal rules and procyclicality; Fiscal policy and growth -- Fiscal discipline, public investment and growth; Incentives for public investment under fiscal rules; Improving the SGP through a proper accounting of public investment; Accrual accounting, long-term fiscal projections, and public investment; Growth and fiscal effects of infrastructure investment in Brazil Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13340 Hold
