Paperback. Condition: New. A growing consensus has emerged in recent years among donors, and between aid agencies and their developing country counterparts, on development strategies. Almost everybody now agrees that sustainable development requires macroeconomic stability, substantial integration into the global economy, better public sector management, more effective poverty alleviation, and greater attention to the private sector and to civil society in general. At the same time, it has become increasingly apparent that in many countries, particularly in the least developed that are the most heavily aided, much has gone awry. In Perspectives on Aid and Development a distinguished group of policy experts offer perspectives on the lessons learned from development experience and how these lessons have been translated into new thinking on aid and development issues.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 103 pages. The World Bank's commitment in 1996 to become a global knowledge bank propose d broad-ranging internal and external changes aimed at expanding the sharing of knowledge among staff, clients, and partners. While the transfer of knowledge an d information had always been a dimension of the Bank's role, the knowledge init iative sought to broaden the scope and raise the profile of this function. The p urpose was to improve the quality of Bank operations and enhance the capacity of client countries to achieve development goals. 'Sharing Knowledge' finds that t he World Bank has made good progress in establishing the tools and activities to support its initiative, but it has not established adequate business processes and management responsibilities for achieving the strategic intent of making kno wledge sharing a way of doing business and empowering clients. Although access t o Bank knowledge has improved, improved access does not guarantee that the share d knowledge will be adopted, adapted, and applied. For that to happen, knowledge sharing has to be embedded in work processes. This review recommends that the B ank take three sets of actions: - More strategic direction and oversight of the Bank's knowledge processes by Bank management; - Linking knowledge-sharing activ ities to lending and nonlending processes; - Setting monitorable outcome objecti ves and supporting performance indicators for knowledge-sharing programs and act ivities, with agreed procedures for monitoring and evaluating Bank knowledge-sha ring programs and activities.…

Condition: very good. Washington, DC : Brookings Institution Press, 1994.Paperback. 112 pp.- Beginning with the US role in the design and start-up of the bank, Gwin describes the ebb and flow of US support for the bank: the increasing activism of congress in US World Bank policy starting in the 1970s, the breakdown in the bipartisan character of US support for the Bank in the early Reagan years of the 1980s, followed by renewed US attention in response to the debt crisis, and the entry into the bank of Russia and other transforming economies. The book disputes both those who see the Bank as under the thumb of the United States and those who see it as unresponsive to US concerns. What it reveals is more concurrence than controversy between the Bank and its largest share-holder on matters of broad policy and on most lending decisions. But the book also highlights constant, but not always consistent efforts by the US to pressure the Bank to lend (or not to lend) to specific countries or specific activities that it favours (or opposes). Overall, Gwin suggests that US policy toward the Worls Bank has always reflected an underlying ambivalence toward both development assisstance and multilateral cooperation. As a result, US policy in the Bank has been erratic - often reflecting the swings in US politics and foreign policy rather than presenting a clear and coherent view of the development financing role of the World Bank and a rigorous concern for the effectiveness of Bank operations.English text.
