Natural gas : private sector participation and market development by Oil Gas( )

15 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 1,095 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"With abundant underdeveloped reserves of natural gas, this resource has the potential to play a large role in meeting the world's growing energy demand." Natural gas competes with other resources for use in power generation. In addition, its other uses have increased dramatically. Since it offers substantial environmental advantages over other hydrocarbon fuels, governments and investors are considering natural gas. This volume examines a range of issues relating to gas sector reform and gas market development. It also examines the reform experience in an array of countries. The last section reviews some of the commercial issues faced in expanding the role of gas, such as, the challenges of developing and financing cross-border gas pipeline trade and the difficulties of attracting investors to projects involving countries with high credit and currency risks

Improving primary health care delivery in Nigeria : evidence from four states by World Bank( )

9 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 539 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This study aims at understanding the performance of primary health care providers and the variables driving this performance using the World Development Report (WDR) 2004 accountability framework. The study is primarily based on quantitative surveys at the level of primary health care facilities, health care personnel, and households in their vicinity. These surveys were implemented in four states: Bauchi, Cross River, Kaduna, and Lagos. Despite large Government efforts, the delivery of quality primary health care services remains a challenge in the country. The condition of the infrastructure is poor; many facilities do not have the required equipment or the pharmaceutical products to offer quality care. In addition, household satisfaction with services is low and very few outreach services are provided. The three levels of government, Federal, State, and local governments have some responsibility in the provision of health services. The division of roles and responsibilities between levels, particularly between states and LGs, is complex and not always clear undermining the accountability relationships between citizens, policymakers, and providers. In addition, health personnel salaries are often delayed and are not linked to the provision of services. Clearly defining lines of responsibilities, performance based financing of local governments and providers, and the collection, analysis, and sharing of information are some options that can help to re-align incentives and improve accountability of policymakers and providers. Reinforcing client's power and increasing their demand of services can compensate for weaknesses in the "long route" of accountability for the delivery of primary health care. The Nigerian Government has long recognized the importance of community participation in the delivery of basic health care services and has thus tried to involve the communities in the development of PHC along the lines of the Bamako Initiative

Shared prosperity and poverty eradication in Latin America and the Caribbean by Louise Cord( )

3 editions published in 2015 in English and held by 525 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Over the last decade Latin America and the Caribbean region has achieved important progress towards the World Bank Group's goals of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting income growth of the bottom 40 percent, propelled by remarkable economic growth and falling income inequality. Despite this impressive performance, social progress has not been uniform over this period, and certain countries, subregions and even socioeconomic groups participated less in the growth process. As of today, more than 75 million people still live in extreme poverty in the region (using

The economic impact of the 2014 ebola epidemic : short- and medium-term estimates for West Africa by David Evans( )

2 editions published in 2014 in English and held by 520 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Beyond its terrible toll in human lives and suffering, the ebola epidemic has inflicted a measurable economic impact on West Africa in terms of forgone output, higher fiscal deficits, rising prices, lower real household incomes, and greater poverty. This impact results partly from the health-care costs and forgone productivity associated with being infected, but it is driven principally by the efforts of the uninfected population to avoid exposure ('aversion behaviour'). Contents: 1. Introduction: Overview; Channels of Impact; Structure of the Report. 2. Short-Term effects and fiscal impacts: Introduction; Liberia; Sierra Leone; Guinea; Neighboring economies; Conclusion. 3. Medium-term impacts: Methods of estimation; Scenarios of the ebola epidemic; Estimates of the impact of ebola; Conclusion. 4. Concluding remarks: Containing the epedemic; fiscal support; restoring investor confidence; Strengthening the surveillance, detection, and treatment capacity of African health systems. Appendices
