Abstract

Unravelling the mysteries of Africa's underdevelopment presents an Afrocentric ideological understanding of the continent's fragmentation; a scientific and objective (Mijadala) discourse as well as an approach of how to move progressively and sustainably Africa forward. The breadth and depth of the book shows the unwavering impoverishment and urgent need for the continent to stand up and take the bull by the horn. It offers an inspiring means of grappling with the continent's problems to build the change we want - An African Wealth of Nation - not the continent of collapsed, failed states under the governance construct of centralised authoritarian regimes It is a thought-provoking discourse that challenges us all to be inherent participants in the reconstruction of a Brave New Africa far beyond the 21st Century.

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between the relative size of the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector, economic growth, and poverty alleviation using a new database on the share of SME labor in the total manufacturing labor force. Using a sample of 45 countries, we find a strong, positive association between the importance of SMEs and GDP per capita growth. The data do not, however, confidently support the conclusions that SMEs exert a causal impact on growth. Furthermore, we find no evidence that SMEs alleviate poverty or decrease income inequality.

Abstract

This IEG evaluation, requested by the World Bank's Board of Executive Directors, represents the first independent evaluation of the PSIA experience. The evaluation finds that:. The PSIA approach has appropriately emphasized the importance of assessing the distributional impact of policy actions, understanding institutional and political constraints to development, and building domestic ownership for reforms. PSIA's have not always explicitly stated their operational objectives (i.e., informing country policies, informing Bank operations, and/or contributing to country capacity). PSIAs hav

Abstract

OECD's Territorial Review of Canada. It finds that Canada is composed of three macroregions: a southern ribbon with all the important metropolitan areas, a zone of rural and non-metropolitan adjacent regions and a sub-continent of remote northern territories. Disparities between these macroregions persist and may even be growing. Opportunities for growth are  lost because of these imbalances and also because specific regional advantages are not fully tapped. In many regions, weak local governance is hindering the emergence of local grass-roots projects, diffusion of R&D results to SMEs is slow and dialogue between higher education institutions and firms is poor. This report underlines the need for federal agencies and sectoral departments to continuously assess the consistency of their policies with regard to the three macroregions in order to enhance territorial cohesion and better tailor programmes to local conditions. More federal involvement in metropolitan issues notably through negotiated planning could help to institutionalise and strengthen urban policies. This report also emphasises the significant overhauling of rural policies that took place recently. It underlines that in certain areas such as amenities a strategic approach is still to be defined. Resolving governance issues is a priority in the north.

Abstract

Nella grande sfida per l’integrazione, le città europee sono in prima fila. La popolazione straniera nelle città è in costante aumento e già oggi supera il 30% a Berlino, Vienna e Londra. Le amministrazioni locali giocano dunque un ruolo sempre più importante nel gestire un’integrazione sempre più complessa. Integrare gli stranieri richiede infatti l’impegno di coordinamento di politiche che riguardano ambiti molto diversi: prima accoglienza, istruzione, mercato del lavoro, servizi sanitari, contrasto alla segregazione. Questo volume affronta il tema della crescente diversità urbana tentando di dare una risposta ad alcune questioni cruciali: a quali problemi vanno incontro le città nell’affrontare la sfida dell’integrazione? Come si possono valorizzare le esperienze di successo? E in che modo è possibile migliorare il dialogo tra le città, le regioni, i governi nazionali e le istituzioni europee?
