Planning for the Unexpected: Crisis Management Practices in the KARETA Event at Medan Tourism Polytechnic
No full textCrisis management in the organization of educational events has become a strategic issue that requires well-structured planning to anticipate potential disruptions that may affect the smooth execution of the event. This study aims to examine crisis management planning practices during the KARETA (Kampung Kreasi Kita) event at Medan Tourism Polytechnic, as a form of experiential learning implementation. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The primary focus of this research is to identify how crisis management planning, execution, and evaluation are carried out by the event organizers, comprising students and academic supervisors. The findings reveal that, although the organizers are not the direct cause of the crises that may arise, they bear full responsibility for managing the impacts, ensuring the safety of participants, and protecting the institution’s reputation. The study also found that effective crisis management planning involves risk identification, the establishment of an emergency response team, and the implementation of clear and structured communication strategies. These findings highlight the critical importance of preparedness within tourism vocational education, where field-based practices often present real-world challenges that require quick and competent managerial responses. The implications of this study emphasize the need for the integration of crisis management into the tourism education curriculum and the strengthening of students’ capacities as future professionals capable of responding to unexpected situations in an effective and professional manner.

Uganda Human Capital Development and Growth Review, July 2025
No full textThe Uganda Human Capital Development and Growth Review (UHCDGR) adopted a lifecycle approach to analyzing the state of human capital in Uganda and factors affecting progress. In doing so, it reflects the approach taken in NDP IV, which is focused on meeting the changing needs of individuals throughout their lives—from the womb to old age and at every stage of life in between. First, the UHCDGR presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of human capital development in Uganda, including its achievements to date, the challenges that it faces, and the potential that exists for investing in its people. Chapters 2 to 6 discuss each of the human capital sectors in turn—education, health, water and sanitation, social protection, and jobs—all of which interrelate across the lifecycle. Based on this analysis, Chapter 7 recommends four cross-sectoral “game changers” that have the potential to accelerate the pace of human capital development and thus enable Uganda to reap the benefits of its demographic transition and achieve its development goals
A Transformational Approach in Kebri Beyah Woreda
No full textThe Ethiopia Local Economic Development (LED) Pilot in Kebri Beyah Woreda, implemented from February 2023 to December 2024, aimed to move beyond traditional fragmented economic development to foster a collaborative and integrated ecosystem for economic growth at the woreda level in Ethiopia. The pilot was conceptualized as part of a broader effort to operationalize recommendations from a 2023 World Bank paper on LED in Ethiopia aimed at accelerating local economic growth and inclusive post-COVID-19 recovery, particularly in refugee-hosting areas. The pilot, a collaboration between the World Bank, the Ministry of Agriculture’s Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP), and the Kebri Beyah woreda government, sought to improve coordination among various LED actors by establishing a multistakeholder institutional platform for continued coordination on woreda-level LED and by fostering sustainable livelihood activities for communities and refugees living in Kebri Beyah. The LED pilot provided the opportunity to test and refine the transformative LED approach in Ethiopia for the first time. This report captures and shares the methodologies - including the operational toolkit, best practices, and lessons learned from the pilot project, and additionally details proven approaches for improving coordination among LED partners, establishing effective public-private partnerships, enhancing last-mile service delivery, and increasing access to finance for local Ethiopian communities. Moving forward, this pilot report can be used as a reference document to guide subsequent replication and scale-up of the transformative LED approach, which has the potential to significantly enhance sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Ethiopia
Reducing COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy with Social and Behavior Change Communication Strategies on Social Media
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted daily life and exacerbated global inequalities, leading policymakers to seek innovative, evidence-based solutions to mitigate its impacts. By March 2023, the pandemic had resulted in approximately 6.88 million reported deaths and 14.83 million excess deaths globally. The development and approval of COVID-19 vaccines changed the pandemic’s trajectory, but disparities in vaccine supply and demand led to persistent global vaccine coverage inequalities. Vaccine hesitancy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), was a major driver of these disparities. To address vaccine hesitancy, the Alliance for Health Online (AHO) and the World Bank’s Mind, Behavior, and Development (eMBeD) Unit within Development Impact (DIME) developed a global research program leveraging social media and behavioral science. This program aimed to diagnose barriers to vaccine uptake, identify effective behaviorally informed communications, and develop public goods to support while introducing innovative approaches such as chatbot functionality and fostering partnerships with the private secto

Exploring the Links between Agrifood Public Support and Diet Quality
No full textThis Knowledge Note presents two sets of analytical work to further our understanding of the links between public support in the agrifood sector and healthy diets. While the analytical work here is mostly suggestive, it paves the way for more in-depth research to unpack the relationship of agrifood support with healthy diets. The first set of analytics uses cross-country estimations to assess the potential correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets for an average country. The second set of analytics uses within-country estimations to assess the correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets in the context of a particular country. The overall principles that underpin these analyses are: (1) that not all types of agrifood public support are the same, (2) that not all types of food commodities are the same, (3) that the impacts of a given type of support can vary depending on the type of food commodity, and (4) that the impacts of various policy options on healthy diets will vary across countries. These analytics help to foster more dialogue and a deeper exploration of the links between agrifood support and healthy diets
Estimating the Number of Firms in Africa
No full textThis paper estimates the number of firms in Africa, considering
their size and formal status. It relies on a novel
methodology that combines multiple data sources. The
results suggest that in 2020, there were 12.7 million firms
with more than one worker, and more than 230 million
own-account businesses, where the proprietor constituted
the sole employee. Informality is prevalent among
own-account, micro, and small businesses. The density of
medium and large firms relative to the population remains
low across African countries but is positively correlated with
per capita income, whereas the prevalence of own-account
businesses decreases as income levels rise. The proposed
methodology provides valuable insights to researchers and
policymakers by enabling an assessment of the potential
market size based on firm characteristics in a context of
limited information
