Policy Brief
No full textCrisis preparedness is cral to
preventing shocks from becoming crises. Investments in ex
ante preparedness are especially relevant in countries like
Nepal that face high levels of exposure and vulnerability to
a range of risks. In seeking to identify opportunities to
strengthen the Government of Nepal’s (GoN’s) capacity
to prepare for crisis events in an effective and timely
manner, this Technical Annex presents findings from the
application of the Crisis Preparedness Gap Analysis (CPGA)
diagnostic in the country. It provides details on findings
and entry points across the five componnts of crisis
preparedness. For a summary, please refer to the
accompanying CPGA Nepal Briefing Note. Following a brief
description of the CPGA methodology, the Technical Annex
presents a summary of findings from each CPGA component
alongside identification of entry points and opportunities
to strengthen crisis preparedness in the country. To provide
a holistic assessment of preparedness, the CPGA focuses on
five core components of crisis preparedness. These are (i)
Legal and Institutional Foundations, (ii) Understanding and
Monitoring Risks, (iii) Financial Preparedness, (iv) Primary
Response, and (v) Social and Livelihood Support
Summary Report
No full textIncreasing plastic pollution in
Sierra Leone threatens not only the public health or the
local economy, but also the national tourism sector. The
volume of plastic waste visible on beaches in the Western
Area of Sierra Leone has made plastic pollution a
significant problem. Hotels reported that up to 5 percent of
staff salaries are intended for daily beach cleaning[2]. Of
the approximately 130,000 tons of plastic waste that is
generated each year, only about 7,200 tons are properly
recycled by domestic companies. Over the recent years
plastic pollution became a significant problem, increasing
hotel costs, hampering transportation, and reducing the
appeal of beaches. Sierra Leone’s government continues in
its efforts to strengthen tourism security and safety as
well as tourism profitability for the country. However, the
tourism sector presents the double challenge of requiring an
environment free of plastic pollution while being itself a
generator of consumer plastic waste. Recognizing the need
for major improvements in the country’s quality of life
through natural conservation and beautification, Sierra
Leone is making efforts to confront the growing problem of
plastic pollution from both land-based and marine-based
sources. Recognizing these challenges, the Ministry of
Finance, with support from the World Bank, is implementing
the Sierra Leone Economic Diversification Project (SLEDP).
It is a five-year project implemented by the Government of
Sierra Leone with a $40 million grant support from the World
Bank. The main implementing ministries of the project are
the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and the
Ministry of Trade and Industry. The SLEDP project aims, to
improve the business environment and to create opportunities
for increased business in the plastics circular economy and
to address risks to tourism and other sectors posed by
improperly managed plastic waste. The current study aimed to
support the national and local governments to foster
sustainable industrial growth and sustainable tourism by
implementing circular economy strategies to curb the use of
plastic products in Sierra Leone. A variety of methods were
used to identify and compile data for this study, including
a review of the literature, targeted data collection,
semi-structured interviews, entrepreneurial discovery
workshops and consultations with public private sector
representatives. The study required consideration of
policies and regulations currently in place in Sierra Leone.
The present study consists of several parts, the first of
which provides an in-depth look at the plastics sector, with
a particular focus on the use of plastics in the tourism
sector. The aim was to assess the use of plastics in the
tourism sector, to identify opportunities to minimize
plastic waste from the sector, and to provide guidelines for
tourism stakeholders to reduce single-use plastics. A second
part of the study examined the enabling environment for
circularity in Sierra Leone that needs improvement to
realize the identified potential in the medium term
Flexible Technology Diffusion Analysis Tool for Data Poor Countries
No full textTo achieve substantial
emission reductions, widespread low-carbon technology
adoption is vital. The process by which new technologies are
developed and adopted and how their costs evolve is critical
to understanding decarbonization. Modeling of this process
requires a tool that realistically describes several
phenomena related to technology adoption in different
sectors, including technology diffusion, investment
decisions, evolution of technology costs, and technology
lock-in, among others. This paper introduces FTT-FLEX, a
simplification of the Future Technology Transformation
model. FTT-FLEX is suitable for application as a
single-country, standalone tool or in connection with a
macroeconomic model. FTT-FLEX captures the core
country-level of features of Future Technology
Transformation (knowledge spillovers as the driver of
technology cost and inertia in the adoption of new
technologies) as they pertain to an individual country and
greatly reduces the data required as compared with the
global Future Technology Transformation model. As presented,
FTT-FLEX is a natural complement to country-specific
macroeconomic models that analyze the decarbonization of key
emitting sectors in small developing countries. The utility
of FTT-FLEX is demonstrated by a decarbonization analysis
for the power sector in Guinea-Bissau
Practical Insights on Energy Subsidy Reforms
No full textEach year, governments around the world collectively spend billions of dollars subsidizing the production and consumption of electricity, fossil fuels, or district heating. These subsidies cause economywide distortions and encourage excessive and inefficient consumption of energy.
In both developing countries and advanced economies, governments often subsidize energy sources and carriers, ranging from petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, liquefied gas or kerosene, to electricity or district heating. This practice diverts funding from more pressing priorities such as healthcare, education, the fight against hunger, or supporting renewable energy. Energy subsidies often are intended to lower energy costs for the poor, but the broad application of price subsidies ends up disproportionately benefiting richer households who consume more energy.
While the case for reforming energy subsidies is clear, implementing such reforms is politically and technically challenging. These reforms require substantial efforts to develop, and success is hard to define, achieve, and maintain. Building on ESMAP’s Energy Subsidy Reform Assessment Framework (ESRAF) and drawing on recent research plus a decade of experience with country-specific technical assistance, the report consolidates those findings and presents energy subsidy reform practitioners with a series of steps that can be considered while supporting subsidy reform efforts. The steps include gaining a solid understanding of the background, effects, and socio-economic motivations for energy subsidies. The steps suggest developing several reform options, obtaining a clear understanding of the reforms’ effects on stakeholders, and building mitigation measures and benefits for society and the economy into reform design. They also advise to be strategic about timing and sequencing of reform and to communicate meaningfully and clearly with the public about the reforms.
The report was preceded by a series of technical background reports covering a range of topics including macroeconomic modeling, distributional analysis, social protection, and political economy
