The final sampling units are randomly selected adults above the age of 18 to avoid bias toward men and / or heads of households. Multiple attempts are made over the course of one day to contact selected respondents and if necessary, appointments are made for in- terview.

While routine, and especially manual, are susceptible of automation, those non-routine tasks, especially cognitive tasks (both analytical and interpersonal) not only are not exposed to the risk of automation but also could be complemented by automation, increasing the productivity of the workers. 4.

Indeed, most of the countries analyzed show non-standard employment registers similar to those observed in the mid-1990s. The exceptions where the variation is a little more relevant are Brazil and Uruguay, where there are contractions in the incidence of the NSE of the order of 10 and 5 percentage points respectively and Mexico, where there is an increase of 5 percentage points.

On the one hand, there is a stable or growing prevalence of part-time employment among the salaried employees, where Uruguay is the only exception, characterized by a decrease in the incidence of this type of employment (Figure 3). In the cases of Peru and Bolivia, we find almost the same prevalence of part-time employment as two decades ago while in the remaining countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic) there is a greater prevalence of part-time employment. Likewise, the prevalence of temporary employment shows a downward trend in most of the analyzed countries in the last 20 years (Figure 4).

The analysis of the employment profile was made based on access to social security benefits, education level, labor income and the task content performed by the workers. From the point of view of social security, we find that NSE shows a higher prevalence of informality compared with SE. For instance, the average prevalence of informality for our set of countries among NSE in the ending point of the study is 40 % while the prevalence among SE is 20 %. In this sense, a rise in the prevalence of NSE could be associated to a big set of workers without access to social security benefits. From a dynamic perspective, there is no a common trend across countries regarding the prevalence of informality among NSE workers (Figure 9). Indeed, several countries (Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, and Peru) registered a small decrease in the prevalence of informality among NSE but there is another set of countries for which the opposite is observed (Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia and Argentina).

In fact, in most of the countries of our sample, the prevalence of workers with secondary and tertiary education increases in detriment of workers with a lower educational level. However, there are some differences by type of non-standard employment. In the case of part-time employment (Figure 10), several countries show an obvious rise in the prevalence of workers with secondary and tertiary education (Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Mexico). There is a second group of countries that presents a decrease in the prevalence of workers at the secondary level, but, this decrease is more than compensated by the greater incidence of tertiary workers, so that, taken together, workers with secondary or higher education increased their share within part-time employees (Uruguay and Chile). Therefore, we can also conclude from this group that part-time employment presents a better educational profile today than two decades ago. In the Dominican Republic and El Salvador, we find a rise in the prevalence of workers with secondary education but a decrease in the share of workers at the tertiary level.

In fact, in all the cases in which temporary employment was identified, taken together, the share of workers at the secondary or higher education increased in proportion in the last two decades.

Statistics regarding the educational profile of standard employees are included in Annex II of the paper. Figure 12 presents the Kernel distribution of the labor income per working hour by country and type of employment. When we analyze what has happened at the salary level and distribution in the period under analysis, two important conclusions emerge. On the one hand, a shift to the right of the wage distribution is observed in all the countries analyzed, indicating an increase in their average. This growth in wages is simply a consequence of the economic growth experienced by these economies. Note that this average wage increase is also observed in the counterpart of standard employment in all cases.. 6 The second trend identified as generalized in the countries of study is the increase in the variance of the wage distribution.

A first general view suggests that non-routine cognitive task content of jobs (both analytical and interpersonal) increased in both NSE and SE even though we have some exceptions. Indeed, the only countries where non-standard employment shows a less intense profile in non-routine cognitive analytical tasks are Peru and the Dominican Republic. Additionally, Chile and El Salvador show a virtually null change in the intensity of this kind of tasks. In the case of standard employment, the change in the profile towards non-routine cognitive analytical tasks is even more obvious (the Dominican Republic is the only exception). A similar scenario is recorded in the case of the intensity of non-routine cognitive interpersonal tasks, even though in this case the trend is more pronounced in both, standard and non-standard employment.

Like in the case of the LAC countries, the analysis of the employment profile was made based on the education, wages and the content of tasks performed. 9 From the educational point of view, a general tendency can be observed in the countries analyzed to improve the profile of workers linked to non-standard work contracts.

Statistics regarding the educational profile of standard employees are included in the Annex of the paper. When we analyze what has happened at the salary level in the period of consideration (Figure 26), two important conclusions emerge. On the one hand, a shift to the right of the wage distribution is observed in all the countries analyzed, indicating an increase in their average. This growth in wages is simply a consequence of the economic growth experienced by the economies. Note that this average wage increase is also observed in the counterpart of standard employment in all cases. 10 10As mentioned above, standard employment is calculated as the total number of employees who do not identify with any of the non-standard categories (temporary or part-time).

On the demanded skills, a driver of trends in employment is the changing demand for soft skills (Heckman and Kautz (2012), Weidmann and Deming (2021)). However, we know relatively little about what kinds of soft skills employers value in modern entry- level jobs (Heller and Kessler, 2022). On the decision of who to hire, it is in the best interest of companies to hire based on workers productivity. However, several studies have documented the existence of labor market discrimination in a wide range of contexts (Bertrand and Duflo (2017), Neumark (2018)) and it remains unclear how discrimination operates throughout the hiring process and how the existent empirical evidence on discrimination is linked to economic theory (Bertrand and Duflo, 2017). We conducted a correspondence study in 2023 using a large online job platform to assess demand for soft skills in the context of hiring discrimination in Malaysia. Malaysia is a particularly interesting setting because it is an upper-middle-income economy, home to multiple ethnicities representing large shares of the population, and previously documented gender gaps in labor force participation and wages.

Similarly, Kaas and Manger (2012) use a correspondence study to show that presenting soft information, such as reference letters with information on conscientiousness and agreeableness, seems to mitigate discrimination. Second, unlike most correspondence studies, we exploit data on firm characteristics and decisions at multiple stages of the hiring process to conduct a rich heterogeneity analysis. Most studies are only able to observe if the candidate receives an interview offer. Hangartner et al. (2021) is an interesting exception, which tracks online employers ’ actions and collects information that allows them to study hiring decisions. We instead observe five stages in the hiring process: 1) if employers reject an application, 2) if they visit an applicant ’ s profile, 3) the number of visits to each profile, 4) if employers contact the candidate, and 5) if they offer an interview.

This unique data facilitates our third contribution, in which we analyze the role of labor market competition in hiring discrimination, an area which to date has not been widely explored. de Haan et al. (2017) show that discrimination against disadvantaged groups is more likely in the presence of competition of workers from a non-discriminated group than in a non-competitive scenario. Along these lines, we hypothesize that firms will discriminate less often when there is a low supply of applicants. Unlike de Haan et al. (2017), we uniquely observe quality indicators of the applicant pool, which we use to test our hypothesis that discrimination decreases when the relative quality of applicants in the pool is low. Furthermore, we exploit our unique data to test whether firms discriminate less often when there is high demand for specific job positions. We know of no studies that have previously considered competition on the demand side. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides background information of Malaysia.

We tested for ethnic discrimination, gender discrimination and the value of signaling soft skills in the labor market. Unlike many correspondence studies, the data allow us to observe different stages in the hiring process. We observe if the employer rejects an application, visits the profile of a candidate, number of times the profile is visited, if they contact them and if they offer an interview. Uniquely, we observe competition in the labor market on both the demand and supply sides. We do not find evidence of gender discrimination in the hiring process. Malaysia ’ s observed differential wages and labor force participation rates by gender do not seem to be associated with discrimination or human capital accumulation. More research is needed to determine why women in the Malaysian labor market have lower employment rates and wages. We find that Indian and Malay sounding name profiles are discriminated against in comparison to Chinese-sounding name profiles. There is discrimination along all the hiring process variables we observe. Malay and Indian candidates are 8 and 9 percentage points less likely to receive an interview offer relative to a Chinese candidate. Discrimination for both ethnicities is also present in other outcomes.

This increase is widely believed to be attributable to a massive public investment in the supply of schooling in the postindependence period in the context of a state-led development model, which virtually guaranteed employment in the public sector for graduates (Assaad 2014; Saleh 2016).

The exposure of an individual in the JLMPS 2010 sample to the supply of public schooling is then determined by the number of sex-appropriate basic (or secondary) public schools (per 1, 000 individuals) that were available to them in their subdistrict of birth at the time they were of age to enroll in that school level (six years of age for basic and 15 years for secondary).

Those are parents who would have chosen higher investment in the human capital of their offspring, but were constrained by the limited supply of schools in their subdistricts of residence and could not afford to send their children to more distant schools outside their jurisdiction or to provide them with homeschooling. However, the increase in public schools is expected to have less of an effect on richer or more educated parents, who are expected to provide education to their children regardless of the availability of schools in their subdistricts either by sending their children to distant schools or through homeschooling. On average, however, the increase in the local supply of public schools is expected to reduce the intergenerational correlation of educational attainment or enhance intergenerational educational mobility.

Thus, as a robustness check, individuals who are likely to be Palestinian refugees were excluded from the sample. Since the JLMPS 2010 does not allow directly identifying Palestinian refugees who are now mostly Jordanian citizens, two indirect methods were employed to identify individuals who are likely to be Palestinian refugees. Method 1 excludes individuals born in subdistricts where the percentage of individuals who were ever enrolled (or are currently enrolled) in an UNRWA school exceeds ten percent out of all individuals below 36 years of age in the sample. Method 2 excludes individuals born in subdistricts where the percentage of UNRWA schools exceeds ten percent of the total number of schools. The results for the restricted sample according to both methods are shown in tables S. 2 and S. 3 respectively.

The Setting: Tanzania and Kagera, 1994-2004 In the last decade, Tanzania has experienced a period of relatively rapid growth, attributed to liberalization, a renewed trade orientation, a stable political context, and a relatively positive business climate to boost economic performance. Real GDP growth was of the order of 4. 2 % per year between 1994 and 2004, while annual population growth was around 3. 2 % in the same period (URT, 2004). There is also evidence that growth had accelerated in the last few years compared to the 1990s. However, this growth has not been sufficiently broad-based to result in rapid poverty reduction. On the basis of the available evidence, poverty rates have declined only slightly and most of the poverty reduction progress has been made in urban areas. According to the Household Budget Survey (HBS), between 1991 and 2000 / 01, poverty declined from 39 percent to 36 percent in mainland Tanzania. The decline in poverty was steep in Dar es Salaam (from 28 % to 18 %) but minimal in rural Tanzania (from 41 % to 39 %).

The KHDS 1991-1994 serves as the baseline data for this paper. Initially designed to assess the impact of the health crisis linked to the HIV-AIDS epidemic in the area, it used a stratified design to ensure relative appropriate sampling families with adult mortality. Comparisons with the 1991 HBS suggest that in terms of basic welfare and other indicators, it can be used as a representative sample for this period for Kagera (results not shown but available upon request). The objective of the KHDS 2004 survey was to re-interview all individuals who were household members in any round of the KHDS 1991-1994 and who were alive at the last interview (Beegle, De Weerdt and Dercon, 2006).

There is considerable variation, however, in how destination countries collect, record, and disseminate immigration data. Meaningful comparison of destination country records over time is thus often confounded. In constructing global bilateral migration matrices, several challenges arise. First, destination countries typically classify migrants in different ways — by place of birth, citizenship, duration of stay, or type of visa. Using different criteria for a global dataset generates discrepancies in the data. Second, many geopolitical changes occurred between 1960 and 2000, with many international borders redrawn as new countries emerged and others disappeared. In addition to creating millions of migrants overnight — as when the Soviet Union collapsed — these events complicate the tracking of migrants over time. Third, even when national censuses of destination countries include data on international migrant stocks, the data are presented along aggregate geographic categories rather than by country of origin. Data therefore need to be disaggregated to the country level. Finally, the greatest hurdle is dealing with omitted or missing census data. Very few destination countries — especially developing countries — have conducted rigorous censuses or population registers during every census round over the second half of the twentieth century. Wars, civil strife, lack of funding, and political intransigence are but a few reasons why records may be discontinuous. 1 Of the 3, 500 sources detailed in the overarching UN Global Migration Database, 1, 107 were suitable for analysis, once repeated censuses had been removed or combined.

Attempts to create them have focused almost exclusively on industrialized countries as destinations because these countries have more accurate and more frequently produced data.

These estimates are based on international bilateral migrant stock data that the authors also provide, although many of the data are derived from the Trends in International Migration (OECD 2002).

Where both censuses and population registers are available, censuses receive priority. Censuses, generally conducted decennially, are retrospective tools for surveying an entire population (or in some cases, a representative sample) at a single point in time. In addition to their universal coverage, their greatest strength is the inclusion of questions on place of birth and nationality. Censuses also typically aim to enumerate the resident population, whether documented or undocumented (Bilsborrow and others 1997). So although some migrants have a strong incentive to provide false information to enumerators, many undocumented migrants will be captured in these matrices. 7 The size and scope of the census questionnaires vary enormously, both over time and in different destination countries. And there is potential variation in the quality of censuses both across countries and over time. Richer countries have many resources at their disposal to design questionnaires, train interviewers, employ statisticians, and disseminate results.

An important contribution of the current work is in estimating the gender breakdown of all migrants in destination countries in the global migration matrices. Similar to the allocation from aggregated categories in the Global Migration Database to specific origins in the master list, two measures are used for calculating gender splits; they are described in appendix 5. Combining Migrant Definitions Only a single definition of a migrant (foreign born or foreign citizen) can be applied to each destination country in the final matrices. Switching definitions over time 17 The subregions used for the disaggregations are the 21 UN regions (see http: / / unstats. un. org / unsd / methods / m49 / m49regin. htm, with the countries of Oceania aggregated into a single subregion.

Since these categories together constitute around 45 percent of migrants in each census round, the original bilateral portion of each cell was compared with the final number assigned to them after the various calculations as a check on accuracy. For each decade, therefore, the overall percentage contribution of the raw bilateral data to the total is calculated (table 6). 23 In each census round, at least 92 percent of all those categories are derived from the raw data. { Table 6 here} Simulating Missing Data Finally, to examine the reliability of the estimated missing census data and test the methodologies, several scenarios are assumed. All bilateral observations for a single year for four countries (Australia, United States, Switzerland, and Chile) in different parts of the world are deleted and the missing cells are filled using one of five methods. 24 The first simulation assumes that all bilateral data for 2000 are missing but that the total number of migrants is available.

There are several possible explanations for these differences. First, the census totals from the current work may not match because censuses do not always make allowances for temporary workers.

Third, differences in the years to which the data refer can generate large disparities. For example, this study uses the 1966 data for Australia, whereas Trends in International Migrant Stock reports data for 1970. Overall, however, the fact that the totals are remarkably close in every decade adds credence to the estimates here. IV. THE EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL BILATERAL MIGRATION The greatest strengths of the global migration matrices are their bilateral coverage, the number of decades covered, and the disaggregation by gender. These data are too rich for a full analysis of all movements between all pairs of countries. Instead, this section summarizes the major trends in the evolution of bilateral migrant stocks, based primarily on World Bank regions. 25 Global Trends The migration matrix for the 1960 census round reflects a realigning world in the postcolonial era. Over the 1960-2000 period, the composition of world migration 25 Appendix 1 details the World Bank regions: South Asia, East Asia and Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Central Asia, and Middle East and North Africa.

Finally, we adapt the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale (Cantril, 1965) to measure how stable respondents feel in their present lives and in the future. We additionally examine the impacts of each treatment on physical health, cognitive function, economic decision making, time-use, and consumption. We capture respondents ’ sense of physical health by asking how many days they have fallen sick in the past thirty days and cognitive function by employing a digit-span memory test and a series of basic arithmetic problems.

Finally, we ask respondents how much they consume, borrow and save over the past week. We further consider changes in perceptions on gender and power in two ways. First, we generate a Household Power Index, composed of a set of questions on perceptions of gendered decision-making and intimate partner violence. The questions are drawn from Haushofer and Shapiro (2016), which are themselves adapted from the Demographic Health Surveys.

We also generate index variables for other outcomes in which this is possible, such as the cognitive index, the household power index, and the work rights index.

In other words, the psychosocial value to employment appears to be driven largely by the non-pecuniary dimensions of the employment experience. 5. 4 Impacts of employment on reported physical health, cognitive function, and economic decision-making The positive effects of employment extend to other measures beyond psychosocial health. Table 3 presents results on reported physical health, cognitive function, and incentivized measures of risk and time preference. We observe a significant increase in the days reported healthy. This effect may be due to ‘ real ’ health improvements from increased exercise (which has also been documented to translate to improved mental health (Herbert et al. (2020))) from the employment task or ‘ perceived ’ health improvements in which improved psychoso- cial well-being translates into feeling less physically ill. Should the channel be exercise, we may expect health improvements to grow over time. Our weekly data on days healthy sug- gests this is not the case: we observe the treatment effect on health from the first week of working, and the gap remains steady throughout the following two months (Appendix Figure A3).

As with physical health, improvements to cognitive function are unlikely to be a direct product of the employment task itself, which was specifically de- signed to require no literacy or mathematical skill. Rather, these results are suggestive of a downstream impact to reducing depression through the experience of employment. Finally, we find no change in time preferences: treated individuals are no more or less likely to discount the future relative to control counterparts, although results may have differed had we engaged participants in an effort or consumption-based time preference game rather than a financial one. However, we find a substantial increase in risk tolerance among the employed. A greater preference for risk-taking may be indicative of employment serving as a form of psychological ‘ insurance ’ that allows participants the mental bandwidth to exercise greater risk. This is consistent with the positive impacts of employment on stability as well as with a key motive underlying universal basic income (UBI) in the developing world (Banerjee, Niehaus, and Suri, 2019). Interestingly, however, we document no parallel increase in risk tolerance in the cash transfer arm.

We find no impact along this margin, suggesting that the elimination of boredom per se is not the driving force behind the psychosocial value of employment (Appendix Table A10). 17Most respondents do not track their day by time, making collection of reliable time use data challenging (though recent literature documents the broader unreliability of such data).

For a country that has never experienced such a large-scale, sudden inflow of foreigners, demographic changes in the composition of the population and labor force will yield unprecedented implications. This paper examines, as data allows, the relationship between the size of the foreign-born population and host community poverty rates in Turkey. First, this paper finds the poverty rates of ‘ recent migrants ’ near the Syrian border (NSB) significantly increased from 2009 to 2013. Second, the number of foreign-born households being captured by the Labor Force Survey (LFS) is expanding, which suggests a growing number of foreign households that are likely to be Syrians. Third, with respect to poverty, the results show no negative impacts on the host community as a result of the increasing size of the foreign-born population.

By country of origin, the displacement of Syrians is one of the largest in recent history. As a result of the civil war that began in 2011, Syrians started to leave their homes and look for safety in neighboring countries across the region. By November 2015, about 4. 3 million Syrians were seeking refuge in primarily Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and the Arab Republic of Egypt. 3 The only other time in the last half century that the world experienced a larger group of refugees from a single country is the case of Afghan refugees during the 1980s to 1990s. Refugee displacements of this size are rare. Consequently, they are not well studied and their impacts are not well understood.

Exposure The main reason why urban risk is large and increasing is the rise in exposure. Although urbanization statistics suffer from a lack of standard definitions of what should be considered ‘ urban ’, the assumption of half the world ’ s population living in cities seems realistic. Urban populations are growing in practically all developing countries. About 40-60 percent of this growth can be attributed to natural growth, i. e., fertility of urban dwellers (Montgomery 2009). The remaining growth is due to urban expansion and migration, reducing the share of rural residents except where rural fertility is vastly larger. The latest UN urban population estimates suggest that, globally, urban population exceeded rural population for the first time in 2008 (UN 2008). In less developed regions, this threshold is expected to be reached by 2019. This continuing urbanization process will lead to an increase of exposure of people and economic activity in hazard prone urban areas. Although we can only speculate about the global distribution of disaster damage in cities today and in the future, newly available geographically referenced data yield some estimates of urban exposure to natural hazards.

Their importance is usually taken as given: “ A building collapse may create externalities in the form of economic dislocations and other social costs in addition to the economic loss suffered by the owner. The owners may not have taken these consequences into account when evaluating specific mitigation measures. Consider the following example. A building toppling off its foundation after an earthquake could break a pipeline and cause a major fire, which would damage other homes that had not been affected by the earthquake in the first place. “ Kuenreuther and Roth (1998).

In addition to the city or location specific analysis, we examine how investors value risk from natural disasters. Data from a recently compiled dataset of a sample of global cities provides some insights. Gomez-Ibañez and Ruiz Nuñez (2006) constructed a dataset of central business district office rents for 155 cities around the world in 2005 to identify cities where rents seem elevated or depressed by poor land use or infrastructure policies. Their dataset also includes information on many factors that determine the supply and demand for central office space such as construction wage rates, steel and cement prices, geographic constraints, metropolitan populations and incomes. We link this information to the natural disasters hotspot dataset (Dilley et al. 2005), and examine if city demand – as reflected in office rents, is sensitive to risk from natural disasters. Gomez-Ibañez and Ruiz Nuñez (2006) focus on offices in the primary business district, which they define as the district having the highest density of employment; a very large, if not the largest, concentration of offices; and the highest rents in the metropolitan area.

On the other hand, middle income households moved away to avoid risk, and the wealthy, for whom insurance and self-protection was the most affordable, did not change where they lived. Poor people “ sort ” into low rent locations – which are often at higher risk to natural hazards. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries where there is a divide between the formal and informal markets for land. While formal developments may respect land use regulations, informal settlements are often located in hazard prone locations, such as on hill slopes, close to river banks, or near open drains and sewers. In Dhaka for example, informal settlements are developing across the metropolitan area, with many residents lacking basic public services and in locations at risk from flooding. In fact, most informal settlements do not have access to a public toilet within 100 meters, and 7, 600 households in 44 slums live within 50m of the river (World Bank 2005, Dhaka Urban Poverty Assessment).

Implications for public policy Hazard management is a task both for the public sector and for private households and firms. For the public sector in cities, this includes ensuring the safety of municipal buildings and public urban infrastructure, encouraging and supporting private sector hazard risk reduction, and developing first response capacity. A considerable share of hazard risk stems from relatively small but frequent events which cause localized damage and few injuries or deaths (Bull-Kamanga et al. 2003). For instance, an analysis of detailed records of 126 thousand hazard events in Latin America showed that more than 99 percent of reported events caused less than 50 deaths or 500 destroyed houses (ISDR 2009). In aggregate, these accounted for 16. 3 percent of total hazard related mortality and 51. 3 percent of housing damage. The probability of larger events may or may not be predictable. For instance, a city may be in an earthquake risk zone, but the location specific ground shaking probabilities are not known. Individual dwelling unit level mitigation is therefore necessary everywhere in the general area of high earthquake probability. For other hazard types like landslides and floods, potential risk areas can be more easily delineated.

This complexity is compounded when focusing on children and adolescents, given the need for enumerators to receive specific training to interact with such a vulnerable demographic and for migrant parents to authorize their children ’ s involvement despite prevailing distrust issues. To address this knowledge gap, we launched the Venezuelan Refugee Panel Study for Kids (VenRePs-Kids) in Medell ´ ın, Colombia.

VII Discussion In this study, we analyze novel and unique data on forcibly displaced migrants and hosts, focusing on children and adolescents, to highlight the disparities in human development between them. The structure our analysis in two parts. In the first part, we characterize the main trends in the data. We show that forcibly displaced households have a wealth distribution skewed towards lower values relative to Colombian households. This is likely explained by the assets ownership loss that forcibly displaced households expe- rienced after the migration episode. We also identify meaningful lags in human capital accumulation between Colombian and Venezuelan children and adolescents of approxi- mately 1 year. We further note that the Colombian government ’ s supportive policies for Venezuelan forced migrants are evident through high levels of service access and pro- gram participation for migrants. Nevertheless, it remains surprising that participation is not higher, suggesting significant potential for improvement in increasing sisb ´ en and health insurance enrollments. In a second part of our analysis, we document sizeable lags in physical and cognitive de- velopment of Venezuelan children and adolescents, relative to their Colombian counter- parts.

Our results show mixed evidence for the impact of violent conflict on educational outcomes. Mirroring some of the findings of Bellows and Miguel (2006) and others, we find evidence for a rapid recovery of the education sector in Timor Leste, and of educational outcomes, particularly for girls. However, in line with emerging results in the micro-level literature, we find that the 1999 wave of violence in Timor Leste – as well as peaks of violence in the 1970s and 1980s – resulted in negative effects on primary school attendance and attainment. This effect is particularly strong for boys.

The figure shows that despite the increasing trend a large fraction of individuals have low education levels. Interestingly, all curves start to drop after the 1987 cohort. This decreasing trend is observed among individuals aged 20 or younger in 2007 and provides evidence of a mismatch between the grade attended and the grade that they should have achieved at their age. 4 This is caused by a persistent sluggishness in grade achievement due to the high level of delayed entry to school and high rates of repetition. 5 The impact of the conflict in its different phases and the subsequent reconstruction efforts on schooling levels of children in Timor Leste is therefore unclear. The early years of violence coincided with an education for all policy in which quantity was preferred to quality. In addition, the 1999 violence that followed the withdrawal of Indonesian troops led to the destruction of schools and the removal of children from school. The reconstruction program implemented after 1999 tried to counteract this destruction, and achieved fast progress. However, the education sector was still in very poor shape. In the next section, we investigate in more detail the effects of the conflict on educational outcomes of boys and girls in Timor Leste. 4.

We exclude the deaths due to deprivation because the districts in which this occurred may very likely not be those where the conflict was most intense, but were simply places were the victims were hiding as a consequence of escaping from the troops, and died for starvation. In addition, since killings are less likely to affect entire families than deaths due to deprivation, there is a lower underreporting bias attached to the former measure relative to the latter one (Silva and Ball 2006). We also exclude disappearances as, according to HRVD data, they do not show enough time and geographical variation in order to identify individuals more or less exposed to the conflict. We believe that the number of killings proxies quite well the intensity of the conflict across time and space as their occurrence largely tracked the movements of the Indonesian military operations. The other two types of violations do not seem to show the same pattern (Silva and Ball 2006).

(2021). Here we present a general overview of the measure for the individual-level and intrahousehold analyses. The MPI is constructed based on the Alkire-Foster (AF) method of multidimensional poverty measurement (Alkire and Foster 2011). Three key statistics characterize any MPI: incidence or headcount ratio (H), which is the proportion of the population who are multidimensionally poor; intensity (A), which is the average share of weighted indicators in which multidimensionally poor people are deprived; and adjusted headcount ratio (M0 or MPI), which is the product of the incidence and intensity (MPI = H × A). The AF method uses a dual-cutoff counting approach to poverty measurement. Having fixed relative weights across indicators that sum to 100 %, it first identifies who is deprived in each indicator, then sums up the weighted deprivations each person experiences into a deprivation score. A person is identified as poor if their deprivation score meets or exceeds a cross-dimensional poverty cutoff that is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100 %. It then aggregates this information to compute society-level MPI, incidence, and intensity.

To tackle individual-level and intrahousehold analyses, we build on the work of Alkire, Ul Haq and Alim (2019). The focus is on individual deprivations, and we call the persons with individual-level data in each indicator the eligible household members. For example, children aged 6-16 years might be eligible for deprivations in terms of school attendance, but not those older or younger. For individual-level indicators, we identify who and how many household members are deprived: their gender and their age, and what proportion of eligible household members are deprived. This is a powerful and potentially informative steppingstone for analysis. Consider two households, each of which has five eligible members with data on nutrition. The aggregation rule in this example is that if any household member is undernourished then the household is undernourished.

The focus on gendered dynamics justifies health indicators related to pregnancy care, combining information on prenatal care, assisted delivery, and early marriage. A full discussion of the MPI ’ s indicator selection can be found in Admasu et al. (2021). We focus on six of these 15 indicators that use individual-level data – viz years of schooling, school attendance, pregnancy care, early marriage, legal identification, and unemployment.

To create improved gendered MPIs, in which people ’ s poverty can be compared across gender and age or the life cycle, research must develop “ comparable ” definitions of capability deprivation that matter to people in different age cohorts or different life situations. Reliable indicators comparing men and women ’ s income, ownership of assets, and decision-making powers in the same household are difficult, as are those measuring decent work. Health indicators also differ by gender, change across the life cycle, and vary across family structures and disability status. The MPI constructed in Admasu et al. (2021) has the same weaknesses as these measurement paradoxes, but it remains a step in the right direction.

In Nigeria, most children experiencing intrahousehold inequality reside in non-displaced households – although it is crucial to note that these children constitute most of the school-age children (71. 1 %), and the levels of intrahousehold inequality are nonetheless far higher than anticipated if displacement status had no effect. In Somalia, displaced children are significantly more likely to experience intrahousehold inequality in school attendance, as they constitute 63. 5 % of school-age children experiencing intrahousehold inequality even though they only make up 35. 3 % of the school-age children population in the sample. For the years of schooling indicator, the overall lack of intrahousehold inequality among the MPI poor in years of schooling obscures meaningful or robust differences by displacement status. Gender and displacement status appear to jointly have significant impacts in school attendance in Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan. In Northeast Nigeria, it appears that displacement status has larger effects than gender.

Early work on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor markets in the MENA region re- lied on high-frequency phone surveys and highlight important job losses among wage workers and an uneven impact across industries (Krafft, Assaad, & Marouani, 2021, 2022).

We use data from the Labor Force Surveys (LFS) of the West Bank and Gaza and we focus on 20-59 years old men. In Section 3. 1, we provide more information about the data sources and sample selection. We divide each labor market into five mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive states: public sector employment, private formal sector employment, private informal sector employment, unemployment, and out of labor force. 1 We focus our discussion exclusively on men, as women ’ s labor force participation in both the West Bank and Gaza is very low, never reaching values above 25 %.

The vast majority of such individuals are holders of Israeli or Jerusalem IDs. Conversely, among those who do commute to Israel and occupied territories, 17 % do not hold valid permits or IDs. Likewise, permit-holding status does not logically affect the formality status of the commuter.

Here, not only the individuals immediately displaced are considered refugees, but also their patrilineal descendants, even if born many decades later. In particular, the LFS dataset follows the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) definition of refugees, which is “ persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict, ” as well as “ the descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children ” (UNRWA, 2023). Consequently, most refugees are indistinguishable in socio-economic outcomes and labor market behavior from non-refugees. However, residence in refugee camps does make a significant difference.

The surveys are conducted on a quarterly basis, covering periods from 2000 onwards. The LFS is meant to represent all households whose ordinary residence is in the West Bank and Gaza, though their place of work need not be.

It also contains information on the intensive margin of the labor supply, including hours worked and full-time and part-time status.

Information on occupation is also available, but only at the level of 2-digit ISCO-08 classification. This information is enough to distinguish between white- and blue-collar occupations but it is not enough to observe additional relevant pandemic-related job characteristics such as the degree of contact with the public. 3. 2 Descriptive statistics Figure (1) tracks the evolution of labor market stocks in the West Bank and Gaza respectively over time.

This paper surveys three sets of hypotheses forwarded in the conflict literature regarding the relationship between the size and location of population groups: Hypotheses based on pure population mass, on distances, on population concentrations, and some residual state-level characteristics. The hypotheses are tested on a new dataset – ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Events Dataset) – which disaggregates internal conflicts into individual events. The analysis covers 14 countries in Central Africa. The conflict event data are juxtaposed with geographically disaggregated data on populations, distance to capitals, borders, and road networks. The paper develops a statistical method to analyze this type of data. The analysis confirms several of the hypotheses.

If conflicts are located mainly at some distance from countries'capitals, we might infer that large countries have more conflicts because of the difficulties of projecting governmental power. If they are located in population concentrations irrespective of location relative to the capita, other explanations should be sought.

We have created a dataset using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program which converted large territories into smaller portions of 8. 6 km x 8. 6 km, totaling 74 square kilometers. Each of these grid squares are our units of observation (we will refer to them as squares). This approach is similar to that of Buhaug & Rød (2006), with two important differences.

The Listening to Displaced People Survey The Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS) combines a baseline face-to-face survey with mobile phone follow-up interviews. During the baseline survey respondents were identified and information on household and respondent characteristics was collected. Once the baseline interview was completed, respondents were given a mobile phone and started to receive, at monthly intervals, phone interviews from a call center in Bamako. During these phone interviews structured questions were asked about welfare of the household. Phone interviews are standard practice in developed countries and they are increasingly being used in less developed countries, as the coverage of cell phone networks expands. Not only do these kinds of surveys allow for low cost, high frequency representative data collection (Hoogeveen et Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Listening to Displaced People Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "4 al. 2014), mobile phone surveys also turn out to be remarkably flexible and adaptive. New questions can be introduced on a needs basis and in-depth qualitative interviews can be carried out at a moment ’ s notice. These qualities make mobile phone surveys well suited for monitoring welfare in volatile environments: they have been used for welfare monitoring during the ebola crisis in Liberia (Himelein 2014) and for welfare monitoring in conflict-affected areas such as South Sudan (Demombynes et al. 2013). Unique about using a mobile phone survey with a displaced, mobile population is that it allows tracking welfare during displacement, and upon return. 8 Three target populations were identified for the purpose of this survey: Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in Bamako, refugees in refugee camps in Mauritania and Niger, and returnees in Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal, the capitals of regions that bear their names. The sample does not include those who were not displaced by the crisis nor those who returned to places other than the three regional capitals in the North.

Returnees were identified in the regional capitals of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal where the phone network was (still) functional. The approach to selecting respondents differed by location and depended on the availability of pre-existing population information.  Bamako: Listing information of all households with IDPs was obtained from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Based on this data 10 districts were selected and in each district 10 households were randomly identified.  Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal: No listing data was available and the cities were divided into different sectors. The enumerator was assigned a starting point in a sector, a direction (North, South, East, West) and based on the code of the day 9 the enumerator selected the first household.

Characteristics of the Displaced and Returnee Population According to the 2009 population census, the two most sizeable ethnic groups in northern Mali are the Songhai (45 %) and Kel Tamasheq (32 %)-- see Table 2. The crisis brought about an ethnic divide, which is reflected in the composition of the three sub-samples. The majority of IDPs and returnees are Songhai (75 % and 71 % respectively), while the majority of refugees are Kel Tamasheq.

Challenges Faced by Returnees The results suggest that returnees were less affected by the crisis than IDPs and refugees. This is reflected in data on asset and livestock ownership, but also in the information pertaining to exposure to violence. Returnees reported fewer victims; fewer returnees reported to have lost income as a consequence of the crisis; more of their children were able to continue schooling; and relative to IDPs and refugees, fewer perceived being poorer in June 2014 than before the crisis.

Although there is agreement on what needs to be done, there is little consensus on what happened during the crisis, who the culprits are and who the main victims.

Conclusion The 2012 crisis in northern Mali led to widespread displacement. The welfare of the displaced – and those who returned – is monitored by combining a baseline survey with structured monthly follow-up interviews carried out by mobile phone. This innovative approach allows tracking changes in welfare with high frequency – even for those who returned to areas that are insecure and inaccessible to enumerators. After 6 rounds of follow-up interviews attrition rates are very low (more than 99 % response rate), demonstrating that it is possible to collect robust and representative data from hard-to-reach, conflict-affected populations. The results show that those who fled were better educated, better off and less affected by violence than the average population in the North. Those who fled lost significant amounts of durable goods (20-60 %) and livestock (50-90 %); many of their children ended up being taken out of school and their welfare (measured subjectively and by the number of meals consumed) declined considerably. Over time, the impact of the crisis on welfare has lessened and by February 2015 the majority of eligible children of the displaced were going to school and levels of employment and number of meals consumed were at pre-crisis levels.

Yet, data collection is a difficult exercise, due to both methodological issues (UNHCR 2014) and practical challenges, especially in situations of heightened insecurity or mass refugee situations. To date, UNHCR maintains the most comprehensive statistical database under a uniform methodology. UNHCR publishes annual data on refugee flows and stocks by countries of resi- dence and origin dating back to 1951, shortly after the Office was established. UNHCR publishes annual statistical reports ranging from “ Global Trends ”, “ Mid-year trends ”, “ Asylum trends ”, to a “ Statistical Yearbook ”.

The data are structured as follows: for each situation, the database records annual numbers of persons of concern, which comprise “ Refugees (including refugee-like situations) ”, “ Asylum seekers ”, “ Internally Displaced Persons ”, “ Returnees ”, “ Stateless ” persons, and “ Others of concern ”. A situation is a pair country of origin / country of destination. For example, Somali refugees in Kenya account for one situation, Somali refugees in Ethiopia for another, and South Sudanese refugees in Kenya for yet another.

Palestinian refugees are people “ whose normal place of residence was Mandatory Palestine be- tween June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict ”. Importantly, their patrilineal descendants are also considered refugees regardless of citizenship (UNRWA 2009).

As an illustration, we go back to the Somalia-Kenya situation. In 2015, the number of Somali refugees in Kenya amounted to 418, 844 persons. The first year such number was reached was in 2011. The no-turnover assumption implies that all current refugees have been in exile for 3 years. But in 2010, the number of refugees was 353, 208 persons. We conclude that the difference between 2010 and 2011 represents 74, 104 new refugees in 2010, who have hence been in exile for four years. In 2009, the number was at 310, 458: the difference between 2009 and 2010 (42, 750) are therefore people who have been in exile for five years, etc. We repeat the exercise for each year until the beginning of the crisis in 1991. This gives us a num- ber of new arrivals for each year since 1991. On this basis we can calculate average and median durations for this situation. Next, we aggregate all situations and consider one single “ global refugee population ”. We have for each year a number of people who arrived in a variety of situations and make up a global flow. We can hence calculate global average and median durations. For each year, we can also break down the flow across countries of arrival. We can construct similar lower-bound envelopes starting from any “ current year ” which we choose as a reference point. For example, we can apply the same protocols to evaluate average and median durations as of 1994 (the lower-bound envelope is depicted by the dash-dot line in Figure 3).

Africa is an especially good place to examine these issues because of the large amount of variation both within and across African countries in the extent to which non-state actors, donors and other states are active in service provision and the extent to which governments are relatively effective and fair. Government responsiveness, corruption and reliance on non-public resources vary considerably among localities with consequences for citizen understanding of and relationship to government (Gibson and Hoffman, 2005).

The PSUs are the smallest, well-defined geographic units for which reliable population data are available and they tend to be socially homoge- nous, thereby producing highly clustered data. In most countries, these will be Census Enumeration Areas (Afrobarometer, 2005, 37-38).

Data The data used in this paper have been collected through the Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS). 4 The baseline face-to-face interviews were executed between June and August 2014. The following 12 monthly interviews – from August 2014 until August 2015- were conducted using mobile phones. 5 The original sample comprised 501 respondents (51 % Male, 49 % Female) and was divided between internally displaced people (IDPs) located in the capital city Bamako, 6 refugees living in refugee camps in Mauritania and Niger, as well as returnees living in the regional capitals Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal in Northern Mali. This survey did not collect information on individuals who were never displaced. The attrition rate was very low, always around 1-2 % per wave. We need to stress that the locations were not randomly selected. Bamako was selected because it hosted a large number of IDPs. Furthermore, the main cities in the north of Mali were chosen to obtain a large sample of returnees given the funds available. Finally, a refugee camp was located in Niger since bureaucratic issues did not allow the inclusion of a camp in Burkina Faso. Nevertheless, households were selected randomly within each location.

There are clear differences in migration decisions between ethnic groups. The reaction of most of Arab and Kel Tamasheq origin was to leave the country, while most Songhai people preferred to go south, to Bamako, or, by the time of our survey, had already returned to Northern Mali. In fact, as pointed out in (Etang-Ndip et al., 2015), IDPs and returnees have a similar ethnic composition because 94 % of returnees in our sample were IDPs. Far fewer returnees in the sampled cities of Gao, Tombouctou and Kidal returned from refugee camps in the neighboring countries for the simple reason that most refugees used to live in towns and villages outside the regional capitals of Northern Mali.

In particular, we would like to discover which characteristics are associated with the desire to return to Northern Mali. To this end, we estimated a probit model using the same regressors as in the previous sections. The dependent variable was set equal to one when the respondent was considering the possibility to eventually go back to the North, zero otherwise. The estimated marginal effects have been reported in Table 3 for all respondents (Column 1-2), as well as for only the household heads or their spouses (Column 3-4). The strongest predictor of a planned future return was refugee status: individuals living abroad in refugee camps were up to 25 percentage points more willing to go back than IDPs. Joining this result with those on unemployment presented in the descriptive statistics, we may wonder whether this desire to go back home may have resulted from a more general malaise experienced by these respondents forced to migrate and halted in a limbo not fully integrated with the local community and labor market.

From a technical point of view, we should point out that we have used an LPM even if the dependent variable was a binary outcome. This choice has been made since in this linear model it is straightforward to add fixed-effects. Furthermore, the coefficients can be interpreted as average partial effects. A simple logit or probit model would not have allowed the inclusion of individual fixed-effects because of the incidental parameter problem. An alternative approach would have been to estimate a conditional logit model. However, since the distribution of the fixed effects is unknown, it would not have been possible to estimate the average partial effects in this model, but only the effect of the regressors on the log-odds ratio. 13 We conclude by stressing that the monthly phone interviews were relatively short, so we did not have a rich panel data set. This may have led to omitted variable biases. Indeed, there may still be time varying factors which could have affected both the probability of being employed and the respondents ’ intentions to go back.

Introduction The most common sampling approach for cross-sectional household surveys in the developing world is a stratified two-stage design (Grosh and Munoz, 1996). Following stratification based on administrative boundaries, clusters are selected in the first stage with probability proportional to size from a national census-based frame. In the second stage, a canvassing operation is conducted in the selected clusters to compile an updated list from which households are randomly selected. While this methodology is straight forward to implement in the field and reliably produces unbiased estimates, there are several downsides. The first downside is cost. The World Bank ’ s Living Standards Measurement Study team, which provides technical assistance on large-scale household surveys around the world, estimates the field listing operation increases the overall budget for data collection by 25 percent. Due to confidentiality concerns, the data collected during a field listing operation, typically the name of the household head and address or location description of dwellings, does not have any analytical applications beyond as a component of the weight calculations. 2 At a time when typical survey costs are in the USD millions, reducing a significant cost component will increase the financial sustainability of data collection. The second drawback to the traditional design relates to timeliness.

(2020) introduces a sampling design based on gridded population estimates as their sampling frame to implement a PPS design and derive sample size estimates for the number of grid cells. Assuming the grid square method is applied to the area itself rather than a selected PSU, the weights for the grid method are similar to those for segmentation, where the cells are the PSUs, but without the additional step of selecting segments.

Probabilities of selection inherently cannot be calculated in a random walk sample design as no information is collected on how many structures are in the camp, or how likely it was that a given structure was the xth structure along any path. Random walk must then assume all structures have the same selection probability, implying constant sampling weights.

North Method The North Method uses RSPs to determine the selected households. RSPs are chosen from the universe of all possible points with the boundaries of the PoC camp. To implement the North Method, 322 RSPs along with replacement RSPs were chosen. These points were random geo-coordinates within camp borders (Figure 5). If the RSP lay within a structure, the corresponding structure was selected. If not, starting at the selected RSP, enumerators walked directly north, using the compass application on their tablet, until a structure was encountered. If the structure was residential, the structure was chosen to be interviewed. In the case of multiple households present in the structure, one household was randomly chosen. If the structure was not residential or if the enumerator reached the boundary of the camp, a replacement RSP was used. As it would be extremely difficult to determine the area of the shadow in the field, satellite imagery is used for these calculations. In the case of this experiment, the selection areas are calculated using Google Earth imagery taken on December 22, 2017, approximately one month after the census of households in the PoC camp.

These organizations are not typically staffed by economists and analysists but by field workers and lawyers.

This is changing as development organizations typically staffed by economists have started to work on forced displacement situations. The second factor relates to lack of good data. As we will see in the data section, data collection of mobile populations is complex and the main organizations in charge of data collection of refugee and IDPs data are humanitarian organizations that do not necessarily have the complex skills required for issues like sampling, questionnaire design and data analysis and have a duty to protect data by mandate.

As mentioned, the UNHCR is really the only statistical agency for refugees and the UNHCR registry the only population census. As for any other populations, sampling requires the preparation of a master sample that derives from the population census. With various degrees of knowledge and accuracy, this is also what happens with refugees. However, the master sample is more difficult to construct than for regular populations because refugees live in camps and outside camps and are diluted in a host population with different types of arrangements. Some households rent, others stay at relatives ’ places, other live in makeshift shacks and others stay in camps. The information available in the UNHCR registry (the census) can also be quite inaccurate, as already discussed, and the degree of accuracy changes for different groups of refugees. Stratification by urban and rural areas, a typical approach in sampling, may mean little for a population that is mostly in urban areas whether in camps or outside camps.

We construct two standard measures of ethnic diversity: indices of ethnic fractionalization (EF) and ethnic polarization (EP). Ethnic fractionalization measures the probability that two individuals drawn from the society at random will belong to two different ethnic groups and thus increases with the number of ethnic groups present. Ethnic polarization captures antagonism between individuals and is maximized when the society is divided into two equally sized and distant ethnic groups. Although these indices have been widely used, little variation over time has been found, making causal inference difficult. The innovative aspect of our analysis is that we use data on the precise locations of refugee camps, their yearly size, and — most importantly — their annual composition in terms of countries of origin.

Below we describe how these data have been used to define our main variables of interest and present some descriptive statistics in Table B. 2. 11 Conflict. In Equation 1, we first relate variation in ethnic diversity with data on conflict from ACLED (Linke et al., 2010). Two main definitions are used: the incidence of conflict and the intensity of conflict. Incidence is captured by an indicator equal to one if conflict occurred in a particular year within a pre-defined buffer around cluster j. Intensity is measured by summing the number of conflict events occurring in a particular year within the same buffer area. A conflict event is defined as a single altercation wherein force is used by one or more groups for a political end (Linke et al., 2010). We further describe events (non-exclusively) as violent events, non-violent events, violence against civilians, and riots. In our main analysis, we focus on violent conflicts (Section 5. 1) and report results for other outcomes as robustness tests (Section 5. 3). In doing so, we follow a recent and large literature that has combined the ACLED dataset with geographically disaggregated data in Africa (Besley and Reynal-Querol, 2014; Berman and Couttenier, 2015; Michaelopoulos and 11Panel A of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for the data from refugee-hosting areas specifically, whereas panel B of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for our data in all covered areas. 11 Usage context: primary mention, supporting mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["data on conflict from ACLED"], "vague_data": ["geographically disaggregated data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Papaioannou, 2016; Berman et al., 2017; Harari and Ferrara, 2018; Eberle et al., 2020; McGuirk and Burke, 2020b). As a further robustness check, we also use data on conflict incidence and intensity from the UCDP, which uses a more conservative definition of conflict. The UCDP dataset is manually curated and compiled with automated computer assistance (Sundberg and Melander, 2013). The UCDP defines an armed conflict event as “ an incident where armed force was used by an organized actor against another organized actor, or against civilians, resulting in at least one direct death at a specific location and a specific date ” (Pettersson et al., 2020). We extract daily event observations from the UCDP dataset if the location of the actual event is exactly known, the event location is within a radius of less than 25 km around a known point, or at least the administrative district where the event happened is known. As pointed out by Eberle et al. (2020), the UCDP events are more likely to capture violence between large-scale and more structured groups.

To exploit the variation in ethnic diversity induced by the annual variation in refugees (and also to control for the direct effect of refugees on our outcomes), we use data on refugee camps provided by the UNHCR. The dataset contains detailed time-series information on the locations and sizes of 1, 453 refugee camps across the world and 821 refugee camps in Sub-Saharan Africa over the 2000 – 2016 period. To the best of our knowledge, the UNHCR currently provides the most comprehensive information available on refugees at the subnational level, allowing us to assess the ethnic composition of camps, which is key to our research question. First, we use the country of origin of refugees recorded for each year at the camp level to approximate the ethnic composition each camp. Second, we restrict the data on refugees to those aged 18 and above in order to make it comparable to the Afrobarometer- based individual data.

This makes the task of treating, combining, and analyzing ethnicities extremely daunting as it requires substantial back- ground knowledge on hundreds of ethnicities and a manual treatment would inevitably lead to incon- sistencies, errors of manipulation, and / or subjective choices.

Such endogenous selection would be reflected in the EPR-ER data. To deal with the plausibly endogenous nature of the resulting refugee EF and EP indices, we implement a gravity model to predict the number of refugees of a certain ethnic group e moving from country o to d at time t, based on EPR-ER data. The predicted (and plausibly exogenous) number of refugees by ethnic group e is then used to create other (plausibly exogenous) diversity indices to be used as instrumental variables.

Ideally, we would have liked to construct our local diversity indices based on census data. However, such data are not available on an annual basis and only a minority of African countries include ethnicity questions on their censuses (Robinson, 2017).

In theory, this should make it more difficult to observe the true relationship between ethnic diversity and some outcomes at the local level. Diversity indices are more likely to be measured with noise in highly diverse communities at the local level. We nonetheless argue that such a concern should not be overestimated, for three reasons. First, such noise cannot easily explain the contrast between the coefficients corresponding to the pre-revised and revised indices and the opposite results found for the revised refugee fractionalization and the revised polarization. This set of results can be explained by the fact that our identification comes from the annual changes in refugees flows. Second, the IV approach is likely to deal with the measurement errors if they are correlated with our main variables of interest. Our IV estimates therefore capture a local average treatment effect coming from the plausibly exogenous increase in annual refugee flows of particular ethnic groups. The similarity of the IV results to the OLS results supports this interpretation. Third, at the cost of introducing attenuation bias30, we also aggregate the number of conflict events at the regional level. Lines B and C of Table 7 confirm the negative and positive effects found for the revised fractionalization and polarization indexes, respectively, whether or not 30Another risk highlighted by Robinson (2017) is the fact that ethnic diversity may also capture different theoretical mechanisms at aggregated levels. 34 Usage context: primary mention, background mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["Afrobarometer sample data"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "of the groups and the distances between them.

INTRODUCTION Refugees pose a massive moral, political and economic challenge for potential host countries. 1 The scale of the challenge is larger than ever, with 60 million people forcibly displaced by conflicts across the world (UNHCR, 2014). War in Syria has produced more refugees than any other conflict of the past two decades: around 4. 6 million have fled the country, with an additional 7. 6 million internally displaced. 2 About 2. 5 million Syrians have found refuge in Turkey, making it the largest refugee-hosting country worldwide. This paper combines newly available data on the distribution of Syrian refugees across Turkey and the Turkish Labour Force Survey to assess the impact on Turkish employment and wages. The large majority (85 percent) of Syrians have left the refugee camps and entered the Turkish labor market. 3 They are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits. This makes their arrival a well-defined supply shock to informal labor, and a particularly good context in which to test the predictions of basic economic theory. We instrument for refugee flows using travel distance between 13 origin governorates in Syria and 26 Turkish subregions (338 origin-destination pairs). This allows us to also control for distance from the Syrian border, and thus any confounding factors that are correlated with proximity to Syria.

There has been extensive humanitarian aid provided to the refugees, overwhelmingly by the Turkish government. Reportedly, by early 2015 the Turkish state had spent $ 6 billion (with total outside contributions $ 300 million). 15 Much of these funds have been spent on food, various services, non-food items such as medicines, clothing, shelter, and housing-related goods.

Despite the improved measures of refugee numbers in Turkey by subregion starting in 2014, there is likely considerable measurement error, resulting in attenuation bias in the OLS estimates. For the IV estimates to be consistent, it is only necessary that- conditional on the fixed effects and control variables- the flows of Syrian refugees are uncorrelated with the instrument. 25 Using data from AFAD (2013) we can also weight the aggregate refugee numbers using the Syrian source governorates of refugees in 2012-13 (see Figure 2).

PLACEBO TESTS AND ROBUSTNESS CHECKS 5. 1 Placebo Tests The key threat to the validity of our instrument is that there are subregion specific economic trends that are correlated with the instrument, and not fully controlled for by the inclusion of the log distance of a Turkish subregion from the Syrian border. A priori this seems unlikely since the instrument is also based on travel distances, but we can test for the existence of such trends in a pre-period. Specifically, we run regressions that are analogous to those reported in Tables 5, 6 and 7 using data from the LFS 2009 and 2011. As a placebo test we pretend that the Syrian refugees had arrived between 2009 and 2011, rather than between 2011 and 2014, to see if the instrument is correlated with Turkish outcomes in this pre-period. Table 10a presents the results of our placebo tests. For the overall sample there is no statistically significant trend that is correlated with subsequent (instrumented) refugee flows in formal or informal employment, or in log wages.

Even once we instrument for refugee flows the correlation remains significant at the one percent significance level (a point estimate of- 0. 30). However, once we control for the log distance for the Syria border there is no longer a statistically significant relationship, in either the OLS or IV, between school attendance rates in 2011 and subsequent refugee flows. This suggests that, on account of the inclusion of our distance from the border control, we can rule out the 2012 education reform confounding our estimates. 5. 3 Robustness to Varying Sample of Turkish NUTS 2 Subregions Throughout this paper we use all 26 NUTS 2 subregions of Turkey for identification. However, the results are robust to varying the particular sample of subregions. We report results for two alternative samples. First, we drop the Gaziantep subregion from the estimation. Gaziantep has the highest refugee to population ratio among all regions and reportedly towns with a refugee share of over 30 percent. The inclusion of Gaziantep may skew results if there are any non-linearities in the impact of refugees. Second, we follow Ceritoglu et al. (2015) in only considering nine subregions of Turkey.

In contrast, for men displacement in the informal sector is fully offset by employment growth in formal sector, with no net job losses.

CONCLUSIONS This paper combines newly available data on the 2014 distribution of 1. 6 million Syrian refugees across subregions of Turkey and the Turkish LFS, to assess the impact on Turkish labor market conditions. The Syrian refugees in Turkey are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits, and so their arrival was a well-defined supply shock to informal labor. Consistent with economic theory our IV estimates, which also control for distance from the Turkish-Syrian border, suggest large-scale displacement of natives in the informal sector. At the same time, consistent with occupational upgrading, there are increases in formal employment for the Turkish. This increase though only occurs among men without completed high school education.

Background and literature review 2. 1 Poverty and forced displacement By 2019, there were about 51 million IDPs across the world, most of them – 46 million – displaced by conflict and violence, with around five million displaced due to natural disasters (IDMC 2020). According to estimates by UNHCR (2020), the number of refugees reached over 20 million as of the end of 2019. While in many cases, conflict and natural disasters have been temporary, resulting in fluctuations in the number of people fleeing their homes in any given country, the global number of IDPs and refugees has grown almost every year over the last two decades. UNHCR estimates that the number of refugees has doubled over the last ten years. Nearly all IDPs live in low- and middle-income countries, and many have experienced secondary displacement. Overall, about half live in urban areas, with one-fourth in major urban areas (i. e., populations exceeding 300, 000). Since almost all IDPs are in developing countries, governments are often resource-constrained in terms of providing assistance and access to services, and in some cases, government authorities may be a cause of displacement (World Bank Group 2020).

Data Data on forcibly displaced populations are scarce, with many household surveys excluding refugees and IDPs from the sample framework. To ensure that MPI results are representative of these communities and that they can be disaggregated for comparative analysis, an initial review of possible data sets was conducted. Feasibility was determined based on the availability of sufficient sample sizes for forcibly displaced persons for quantitative analyses, as well as inclusion of many of the indicators (on health, education, living standards, etc.) 14 A household is deprived if the respondent reports feeling moderately or very unsafe when alone at home, walking alone after dark, or walking around during the day. In Sudan, the indicator on the ‘ feeling safe from crime and violence when at home ’ was not available, and the indicator only considers answers to the questions on safety when walking alone. 15 Unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, carts with tank, tanker-truck, surface water, or other are considered as unsafe water sources according to international guidelines.

Overall, the censored headcount ratios (proportion of people who are poor and deprived in a given indicator) are lower among non-displaced communities than among refugees and IDPs, but there are large differences in which indicators are the most salient in different countries. The indicators with the largest difference between the two populations are bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria. These findings reinforce the need for policies and programming that take into account the measured experiences of IDPs and refugees. In this way, the MPI can function both as tool to monitor, track, and bear witness to the lived experiences of forcibly displaced communities, as well as advise on evidence-based interventions that address the needs of the local population.

As the Sudanese sample surveys IDPs living in the Abu Shouk and El Salam camps, we must understand these deprivations with the background that these settlements were created as emergency and crisis responses rather than durable, long-term solutions (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019). Although Sudan does have a national electric grid that supplies electricity to the urban and peri-urban areas of the nearby city El Fasher, IDP communities living in the camps report limited connection to the city ’ s electricity supply, reflected in the high deprivations in the electricity and cooking fuel indicators. The ad-hoc construction of dwellings in the two camps explains why 71 % of the IDP households in Abu Shouk and 65 % in El Salam live in tukuls or other permanent mud or wood structures (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019: p. 50), both of which register as unimproved housing types.

Exposure to unclean cooking fuels and inadequate housing can lead to poor health outcomes, while lack of access to electricity and a bank account further excludes individuals from labor market integration and livelihood opportunities that would empower forcibly displaced persons to overcome their multiple, overlapping deprivations. Clearly, displacement status puts individuals at a greater risk of poverty than their host community neighbors, and we can unpack those risks in greater detail using the MPI. Results can also be broken down to show the percentage contribution of each indicator to multidimensional poverty (see Figure 2).

Gender differences in multidimensional poverty Next we examine differences in multidimensional poverty outcomes by the gender of the household head. Existing literature points out the limitation of household level MPI analysis in masking the intrahousehold distribution of deprivations, and thus being less sensitive to gender based differences in individual outcomes within the family unit, which might lead to underestimation of inequality and gender gaps (Espinoza-Delgado and Klasen 2018; Franco 2017; Klasen and Lahoti 2020, Rodriguez, 2016). However, as the MPI identifies poverty at the household level, our initial analysis focuses on disaggregated results by the gender of the household head. 19 We acknowledge that this approach has several limitations since most women reside in male-headed households, and the composition of households can change after displacement due to separation of family members, and widowhood. Regardless, the analysis at the household level remains relevant given the high prevalence of female-headed households that emerge after displacement, with the analysis showing large differences across countries between households based on the gender of the head.

To uncover the main drivers of the observed gender based differences in multidimensional poverty at country level, we study the absolute contribution of the gender difference in each indicator to the overall household gender gap (see Figure 6), calculated as the difference between the censored headcount ratio for males versus females. We find that in Ethiopia, the gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mostly driven by the difference in financial insecurity measures (lack of legal ID and bank account) and health measures (early marriage, physical safety, and food insecurity), which is further reinforced by the differences in the living standard and education measures. Female-headed refugee households are more food insecure, live in unimproved housing, have lower access to electricity, are more likely to be married at an early age, and have lower access to legal identification and a bank account. In South Sudan, gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mainly explained by the differential in the financial insecurity and health measures, but cumulative gaps in the living standard and education indicators also contribute to the overall gap at the household level.

Most of the displaced populations from the first group live in host communities with good access to basic services such as sanitation and water, and safety nets.

Conclusion This paper contributes to the literature by analyzing multidimensional poverty among refugees and internally displaced populations. We observe that forcibly displaced communities are poorer than host communities in each of the five countries ’ sub-populations covered in the surveys, with the difference in incidence between displaced and non-displaced population ranging between 15 and 19 percentage points in South Sudan and Somalia to over 30 percentage points in Ethiopia and Sudan. Displaced communities also experience greater deprivations in nearly every indicator, although there is significant variation in which indicators are the most salient, with having a bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria showing the largest differences between the two populations. The results also indicate gender differences in the experience of multidimensional poverty, with female-headed households more likely to be poor than male-headed households in most of the countries. In addition, displaced households headed by women have a higher incidence of poverty and MPI than non-displaced female-headed households. Particularly, female-headed households in camps have higher multidimensional poverty and intensity compared to their counterparts living outside camps. Dissaggregating further, we find heterogeneity among de facto and de jure female heads.

Our analysis applies a gender lens to a rich set of microdata on Syrian refugees in Jordan collected by UNHCR between 2011 and 2014. As these data do not capture how the changes in policies affect refugees and the constant evolution of their situation since 2014, the analysis is not intended to directly inform current policy choices and decisions. Instead, our aim is to devise an approach that can provide greater insights into gender ‐ specific barriers, based on the premise that the experiences and potential vulnerabilities of women, men, and children are significantly different in refugee settings. We use household ‐ level data to examine the relationship between poverty and gender for Syrian refugees.

This definition of female headship has advantages over the way that household headship is commonly identified in household surveys. An often ‐ noted drawback of the headship variable is that female headship may reflect the enumerators ’ perception about who should be considered a family head rather than who has the most responsibility for the family ’ s welfare in practice. 7 Social norms can also affect whether female respondents self ‐ identify as household heads. For example, some Eritrean returnees who would in other cultural settings be regarded as de jure female headed (single mothers, widows, divorcees, separated women) reported being male ‐ headed. Other Eritrean female returnees who would be considered de facto heads reported headship by absent husbands or male relatives (Kibreab, 2003). Our approach is therefore to distinguish between different types of female and male principal applicant households, using a typology that reflects some of the indicators of vulnerability used by UNHCR.

To understand how gender differentiates the poverty experienced by the Syrian refugees, we use two UNHCR datasets: The Profile Global Registration System (ProGres) and Jordan Home Visits round 3 (JD ‐ HV). The ProGres database for Jordan includes information on refugees ’ registration since 1935. The registration process assigns refugees a unique registration number that serves as a reference for recording data at the initial registration and in all subsequent activities, including decisions on refugee status and right of return or resettlement in a third country, as applicable. UNHCR issues refugees residing in camps a ‘ proof of registration ’ document, which they hold while they remain there.

The confessional system of governance has heavily impeded the equitable and efficient distribution of investments and public services. Provision and targeting of public services tend to be guided by considerations of confessional quotas and electoral geography rather than needs- based service delivery that favors the poor. In the absence of effective state institutions, sectarian organizations have played a key role in the provision of social services such as education, health, and welfare support to the most vulnerable groups linked to their electorates, thus deepening a sense of discriminatory and inequitable system (World Bank, 2016; Kraft et al., 2008).

The share of children and women among refugees is higher in Africa than elsewhere, in particular East and West Africa stand out here. This is, at least partly, a consequence of Africa ’ s younger, general population, but other forces could be at work as well, e. g. higher mortality of adult males in Africa or adult males staying behind or being separated from the rest of the household. It does mean however that, relative to other areas, more attention should be going to the needs and capacities of women and children in Africa. This means, for example, adaption of and increased supply of schooling and health services. Figure 6. The composition of refugees by age and gender, 2013 Source: Note: UNHCR statistics (UNHCR 2014).

The Danish Epidemiology Science Centre (1999) found severe malnutrition and high mortality in a survey of 422 refugee children in Guinea ‐ Bissau. They report higher malnutrition and higher mortality for children living in a non ‐ camp setting, compared to children living in a camp. The Goma epidemiology group (1995) found high prevalence of child mortality as well as acute malnutrition among children in refugee camps in Eastern Zaire, especially in female headed households. The magnitude of the difference between ‘ normal ’ mortality in the country under study, in the absence of conflict and the mortality in a refugee camp, depends on several parameters: the health infrastructure in the country as well as in the camp, the food available to camp and non ‐ camp residents, the frequency of visits by nurses or doctors, the intensity of the conflict (e. g. attacks on camps), and so on. Thus, the results are highly dependent on the context. For example, Singh et al (2005) do not find a difference in under 5 mortality among refugee versus non ‐ refugee households in western Uganda and South Sudan, whereas Verwimp and Van Bavel (2005) find higher child mortality and fertility among Rwanda refugees in Congo versus Rwandan women who did not became a refugee.

The strong presence of children in Africa ’ s refugee population implies that we should also look at the potential long ‐ term effects of forced displacement on survivors. Given the composition of the refugee population, such long ‐ term effects will be more important in Africa compared to elsewhere. Few studies have followed children exposed to forced displacement over a long time to directly infer the long ‐ term effects of forced displacement, in particular on health, education and labor market participation. Most studies of the long term effects of conflict use an indicator of exposure to violent conflict, but few of them have forced displacement as one of the indicators. There is however a very well established literature (see Currie and Vogl, 2013 for an overview) on the long ‐ term consequences of deprivation in early childhood which can be applied to the situation of refugees. If young children between the ages of 0 to 3 years old are exposed to malnutrition, disease, stress and violence during episodes of forced displacement, then, this literature shows that this deprivation will have negative long ‐ term effects.

Half of the urban refugees and 11 % of rural refugees also have access to the Internet. 4. Refugees As a Burden? As pointed in Section 2, most refugees in SSA are hosted in neighboring countries. Most of these hosting countries are likely among the least developed countries. It has been argued that these refugees may constitute an additional burden in terms of economic development in hosting countries (Mabiso et al. 2014).

Lessons from Case Studies in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda Given the limits of cross ‐ country comparisons, we present below three short case studies on the impact of protracted refugee situations on hosting communities. These case studies were not chosen based on a systematic review but they are sufficiently close to each other to allow for comparative learning. These case studies are also those emerging from a growing literature on the quantitative assessment of the impact of refugees on hosting communities (Mabiso et al. 2014). Case Study # 1: The protracted refugee situations in Tanzania Tanzania has been known as a refugee ‐ hosting country for long due to its peaceful history and its location surrounded by conflict ‐ affected countries (Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique). The first president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, welcomed most of refugees as a sign of pan ‐ African solidarity in the post ‐ independence periods from many African nations.

More than other studies, this analysis points to the transfer of physical and human capital by refugees as an important source of benefits for the local economies. Interestingly, Kreibaum (2016) provides a more quantitative approach to the issue by assessing the impact of an increase in the presence of Congolese refugees on the hosting population in the Southern and Western parts of Uganda. The results indicate a positive ‐ although small in magnitude ‐ impact on the hosts ’ welfare (consumption per adult equivalent) but with distributional effects. Those depending on wage income and transfers experienced a deterioration in welfare, suggesting labor substitutability with rural landless workers. That seems to constitute a commonality with the Tanzanian case study. In addition, increase in the provision of private education services are also found, which is consistent with the move to the so ‐ called self ‐ reliance strategy in Uganda (see below). A major contribution of this paper is to contrast these results to the Ugandan households ’ perceptions in local communities. Conditional on assuming a common trend (that could not be tested with the available data), people are found to perceive their living conditions as having worsened off in areas with a higher number of refugees.

When comparing impacts between locations within a country, cross-sectional data also usually does not allow to capture impacts on those who moved out and to differentiate impacts between those who were already there before the shock and those who moved in afterwards. Some of the models based on administrative areas qualify as spatial econometrics models in that they use estimation methods that derive from this literature and are published in spatial econometrics journals. Studies that compare different areas within a country are not only confronted with the potential endogeneity of the size and skill composition of the inflow and the choice of destination, but also with the endogenous reactions of the host community. Local workers might respond to the labor supply shock by dropping out of the labor force, investing in education, occupational upgrading or moving to other areas and diffusing the impact of the inflow. Even if local workers do not respond to wage variations, capital flows may equalize capital / labor ratios within the country, labor-intensive industries might move towards the regions with a high refugee or IDP influx or firms might use more labor-intensive production technologies. The reactions of the host country workers, investors and firms are medium-to long-term in nature and will play less of a role in the short-term if there are large, sudden and geographically concentrated inflows. Some of the papers explicitly analyze these potential channels, notably migration of local workers, and, to a lesser extent, occupational upgrading. Outmigration of hosts is a critical complement to the labor market analysis and excluding this outcome can lead to an underestimation of the impacts of forced displacement on the labor market outcomes of natives.

Most of the papers and results considered in this review are therefore very recent (Figure 2). We used academic databases and search engines (EconLit, Social Science Research Network, JSTOR, Google Scholar) and searched websites of institutions with relevant working paper series (NBER, IZA, ERF and others). Relevant unpublished papers were included by searching agendas of workshops and conferences organized during the past few years.

Conclusion The paper reviewed 49 empirical studies that focused on estimating the impact of forced displacement on host communities. This literature covers 17 different displacement situations in high, medium and low- income countries covering the impact on the labor and consumer markets. A total of 762 results have been used for the meta-analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review of this literature. The empirical modeling analysis highlighted the main traits of this literature. By definition, all studies operate ex-post, after the displacement crisis has taken place. The unexpected nature of the crisis and the randomness of the allocation of displaced persons are two elements used to defend the natural experiment assumption. However, all papers address the central question of endogeneity. The instrumental variable approach is the dominant method to address endogeneity issues and instruments tend to focus on either distance from the shock or previous location of migrants. Double difference and linear elasticity models are the dominant choice of estimation models with matching and placebo counterfactuals often supporting these choices.

Global data on conflict-induced internal displacement reflect variations in how IDPs are defined across situations. There is no consensus on how far a person must flee in order to be considered internally displaced. The definition of internal displacement for nomadic populations, which account for a significant share of IDPs in the Horn of Africa and increasingly in the Sahel, is open to controversy. 31 Moreover, while some countries register IDP children born in displacement (e. g. Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Georgia), other countries do not (IDMC 2015).

These data largely focus on the scale and trends in conflict-induced displacement (i. e. the numbers of forced displaced) with some coverage of other elements such as demographics, location and accommodation. Globally, there has been an unprecedented increase in the numbers of displaced people over the last decade, largely explained by the expansion in the number of reported IDPs. Historical data show a substantial increase in the numbers of forced displaced (see Figure 3), however the expanding geographical scope and quality of displacement monitoring systems are likely to account for much of the increase in forced displacement figures. The numbers of refugees under UNHCR ’ s mandate have recorded a number of variations over time, peaking in the early 1990s (at a level 10 percent over 2015 numbers) with the conflict and displacement associated with the end of the Cold War. The number of Palestinian refugees steadily has increased steadily over time, largely as a result of natural growth.

In the absence of global data on the success of reintegration following return, data on returns appear to be taken as indication of sustainable return. In reality, many returnees face impediments to reintegration and continue to have specific economic and social vulnerabilities linked to their displacement.

In general, there is a lack of comprehensive and up-to-date data available on all stocks and flows for a particular displacement situation (see Table 4). Consequently, data on flows might be used to estimate stocks, for example in the absence of government data, the stock of refugees in many industrialized countries is estimated by UNHCR based on 10 years of individual asylum-seeker recognition. And, especially in the case of IDPs, changes in the total population combined with some contextual analysis, may be used to deduce estimates of new internal displacement or returns. However, these approximations are flawed unless data on all other flows (births, deaths, repatriation etc.) are also available, which is not usually the case.

A significant challenge with refugee registers is keeping them up to date.

Consequently, data from a refugee register may overestimate the number of refugees, requiring periodic corrective action through the verification of records. For example, in 2014 a verification of registration records for Somali refugees in the Dadaab camps in Kenya led to the deactivation of tens of thousands of records for individuals that are believed to have returned spontaneously to Somalia (UNHCR 2015).

Registration methodologies can vary across displacement situations. For example, families may be registered rather than individuals and the population estimated based on an assumption of average family size, which can differ among organizations (UNSD 2014). IDPs may be required to present documentation, meet specific criteria or re-register periodically to maintain their benefits, which affects aggregate numbers (IDMC 2015). For example, in Ukraine, pre-requisites for IDP registration (including valid documentation, arrival from a recognized conflict zone and permanent residence registration in recognized conflict zone) means that people displaced within a non-government controlled area, people displaced from a non- recognized conflict zone in a government controlled area, unaccompanied children or people without current / valid identification are not counted as IDPs (IDMC 2015).

The accuracy of IDP registers is greatly impacted by political considerations, particularly a government ’ s willingness to acknowledge internal displacement and to enable the humanitarian community to respond. Some countries may be reluctant to acknowledge the presence of IDPs, or may be inclined to understate numbers to demonstrate progress in military operations or limit assistance provided to IDPs. For example, in Kenya, registration of individuals displaced by the 2007 and 2008 post-election violence excluded ‘ integrated ’ IDPs, i. e. those who had sought refuge with host communities or rented accommodation in urban areas, as assistance was limited to registered IDPs. Alternatively, aggregate numbers of IDPs in particular countries may be inflated to suggest a deterioration of the situation or to maximize humanitarian assistance. Therefore, access to IDP areas and the willingness of IDPs to be counted may be largely dependent on government policies. These political considerations can lead to disagreements on the data, undermine cooperation and in some cases even lead to reduced humanitarian funding. Profiling of IDP situations Profiling of IDP situations is a collaborative process aimed at generating reliable data that can be broadly agreed upon. As a collaborative process, it can be a crucial tool for generating agreement on persistent questions such as who is recognized as internally displaced within a given context, what are the most prevalent vulnerabilities caused by displacement, and how do IDPs fare compared to host populations.

Profiling may utilize data collection techniques at individual, household and community levels, often combining population estimation methods, a review of secondary data, focus group discussions, household surveys and key informant interviews targeted specifically at forcibly displaced populations (UNSD 2014). 70 Profiling methods focus on displacement situations, rather than only on displaced populations, and therefore includes comparisons to conditions in the host population.

Additional challenges include unwillingness of IDPs to participate due to fear of persecution, and mobile populations (IDMC 2008). There may also be political pressures to inflate or reduce numbers. Population movement tracking systems In situations where the movement of displaced populations is fluid or continuous, a movement tracking system can be a useful tool for providing rough estimates of population flows, including recurrent displacements. Movement tracking systems are useful for monitoring fluid population movements (including spontaneous and organized, internal and cross-border, and returns and resettlement) in remote or inaccessible routes and locations (including displacement sites, places of origin, and places of return and resettlement).

Additionally, due to the fluid nature of displacement in many contexts and the likelihood of recurring displacements, it is not possible to use movement data to provide estimates of population stocks. Population censuses National population and housing censuses often provide the most comprehensive source of population data and offer the potential for estimating numbers of forcibly displaced people.

There are several drawbacks of population censuses including their cost, the significant training required for enumerators to ensure consistent answers to questions on forced displacement, impediments to field operations and data processing (such as weather conditions and technical problems), the relative infrequency with which they are carried out, and the long processing time before data and statistics become available, which have consequences for the timeliness of data.

The answer to this question is found by identifying the poverty gap for refugees. This opens the second track which explores the factors that determine, or at least that are associated with, the size of the poverty gap. The note is organized as follows. The next section discusses data and presents some key descriptive statistics on refugees and host communities in Uganda.

Selected characteristics across Ugandan and refugee households, % Source: RHCS 2018, WB staff calculations. A simple comparison between refugees and Ugandan households demonstrates that refugees lag with regards to selected characteristics found to narrow the poverty gap. For example, refugees are less likely to have access to land than Ugandans. If refugees have access to land, the majority do not own it, but have user rights. The size of land also differs a lot among Ugandan and refugee households. Most Ugandans have at least 0. 05 hectare per capita, while the majority of refugees have less than 0. 05 hectare per capita. Refugee heads of household are also less likely to work and less likely to be literate compared to their Ugandan counterparts. Refugees have higher shares of children and elderly in household size compared to Ugandans. For example, among almost 60 percent of refugee households, more than half of the household members are children and elderly compared to 42 percent of households among Ugandans.

We run the following regression for country i at time t: git = β × incidenceit + µi + ηt + ϵit (1) where git is economic performance per capita growth of country i in year t, incidenceit is conflict incidence, µi and ηt are respectively country and year fixed effects. A cross-country analysis as in equation (1) bears considerable potential for both reverse causality and omitted variable bias. Thus, a priori, a convincing causal link is hard to establish.

Ciccone (2011) shows that high rainfall levels three years earlier seem to be best predictors of conflict in the reduced form.

In any case, there is no evidence from this literature that contemporaneous growth declines cause conflict. Bazzi and Blattman (2014) corroborate the view that the relationship between income shocks and conflict is not straightforward. They do not find evidence of an effect of price shocks on conflict onset and only weak evidence on incidence. 9Results from this are presented in the Appendix. 10We take the threshold from Mueller (2016) who shows that a threshold like this leads to a similar number of coded civil wars as the threshold of 1000 battle-related deaths often used in the conflict literature.

This is not only those who are killed or injured in conflict but the large number of people who are forced to leave their homes. The issue of refugees has received particular attention in Western media in recent years as refugee flows from Northern Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan are increasingly reaching Europe. These refugee streams are linked to a severe humanitarian crisis with considerable funding needs for international donors and heavy strains on host countries. 21 The current refugee crisis, however, is in no way unique. Civil war has always been closely linked to humanitarian crisis and refugee streams are one way to capture this. In this section we provide a cross-country analysis aimed at investigating how the stock of refugees evolves when a civil conflict hits a country. In the analysis we will focus entirely on showing changes in the stock of refugees across time to illustrate the dimensions involved. We will base our later analysis on these population movements. We exploit country-level data gathered from several sources. Data about refugees is provided by the UNHCR Population Statistics Database.

We focus on these numbers as they appear to be the most comparable across time and countries. However, this is likely to capture only the tip of the iceberg in some cases. The number of IDPs is extremely high in some instances but cannot be captured with the same level of confidence as refugees generally. 23 Cross-country data about conflict is provided by the UCDP / PRIO. As for the index of country-level economic activity, we use again information provided by the Penn World Table and World Bank databases.

About 59. 5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide by the end of year 2014.

For a general discus- sion of count data models, see Cameron and Trivedi (2013). Our results are also robust to using year fixed effects instead of exposure. 41The reason is that the OECD data, the Dutch Central Bank data and the UN data allows us to distinguish between net flows and gross flows. 42We also distinguish two different ways of calculating the cut-offof intensity using contemporaneous and average population in a country.

The consistency of this result across very different datasets is striking. Note also that the average change in inflows implied by these rates is very large. In 2012, average inflows in the World Bank dataset were over 9. 5 billion USD and over 3 billion USD in the OECD data. Our estimates therefore imply a gain of between 2 billion and 4 billion USD in yearly inflows for countries which emerge from conflict. In order to understand the dynamics of recovery it is useful to understand the dynamics of this change around the end of conflict. For this purpose we add a set of dummies to the equation above. We construct a dummy that indicates the start of recovery and add three forward and lag dummies to trace average investment around this date.

Besley and Mueller (2015a) argue that foreign investors seem to know that growth volatility changes with strong executive constraints and therefore react significantly to their adoption. In summary, the literature suggests that a lack of constraints on executive power at the country level could play a key role in building inequalities across regions and ethnic groups. In the absence of strong executive constraint, we expect regions populated by ethnic groups that have access to executive power to perform better relative to others due to ethnic favoritism. Conversely, excluded ethnic groups should experience relatively worse economic performance compared to other groups in the absence of such constraints. 46 To test these hypothesis we use data on ethnic groups ’ access to executive power and night light intensity from the GROWup Research Front-End (RFE Release 2. 0) dataset and executive constraint data from the Polity IV dataset.

While the unexpected inflow of refugees might bring both constraints and opportunities for improving and maintaining local livelihoods in these communities, the understanding of these effects remains limited.

The findings show that refugee inflow brings substantial benefits to host communities by creating significant jobs, in which people engage as secondary occupations, and triggers an increasing demand for livestock products.

We measure refugee inflow (presence) as the number of refugees (population) in the nearest refugee camp to the household location weighted by the household's inverted distance to the camp. The impact of refugee inflow on household livelihood strategies can be causal if there are no confounding factors that affect livelihoods in host communities when refugee inflow changes. This is unlikely as refugee flow and the location of refugee camps are not random (see e. g., Baez 2011). Refugee camps are often situated close to international borders, among others, to allow for easy repatriation of the refugees when stability is restored in their countries of origin. In addition, refugees often seek shelter in the nearest refugee camp once they arrive in the host country, which is arguably true in most hosting countries as refugees often travel on foot for 2 According to UNHCR, a protracted refugee situation is a situation in which at least 25, 000 refugees from the same nationality have been in exile for at least five years in a given host country. 3 Diversification of activities is calculated using the inverse Simpson diversity index.

Given the importance placed on the subject by policy makers in Pakistan and those internationally, it is troubling that none of the reports and articles reviewed based their analysis on publicly available data or established statistical methodologies. This paper uses published data sources and a census of schooling choice to show that existing estimates are inflated by an order of magnitude. Madrassas account for less than 1 percent of all enrollment in the country and there is no evidence of a dramatic increase in recent years. The educational landscape in Pakistan has changed substantially in the last decade, but this is due to an explosion of private schools, an important fact that has been left out of the debate on Pakistani education.

The fact that three sources use different definitions of madrassa enrollment, and were collected at different times by individuals with very different institutional affiliations provides independent verification of enrollment estimates and allows us to determine the sensitivity of our results. The household data tell us whether a child is enrolled full-time in a madrassa, but not whether a child goes for an hour on any given day to study the Quran. Therefore this data does not confound full-time with part-time attendees — a child who attends a public school during the day and a madrassa in the evening is recorded as enrolled in a public school. This is an important distinction since parents might use a modicum of madrassa or mosque based education to teach their children about religion. Consequently, if we contrast these household-based numbers with numbers from establishment-based reports, discrepancies can arise.

These data sources show that around 200, 000 children were enrolled full-time in madrassas before 2001. Since 2001, our school census suggests that these numbers may have increased somewhat, although the experience varies across districts. To put this number in context, total primary enrollment (grades 1-5) in public and private schools stood at 17. 4 million in 2003 (Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Finance, 2003). The choice of madrassa schooling viewed as either the percentage of eligible children or the percentage of enrolled children, is statistically insignificant for the average Pakistani household. Enrollment in madrassas accounts for approximately 0. 3 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 19. Given that the overall enrollment rate for this age group is roughly 42 percent, this represents less than 0. 7 percent of all enrolled children, an order of magnitude less than the 33 percent cited by the International Crisis Group report (2002). 3 This is complemented with the census of private schools carried out by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in 2000 to provide statistics for private versus public enrollment. 4The PIHS is the equivalent of the widely used Living Standard Measurement Surveys (LSMS) implemented in various countries.

The first source is the “ long ” form of the population census in 1998, which is a large sample-based survey with information on enrollment. This survey is representative at the level of the district and region (rural or urban) and provides comprehensive coverage of the entire country. 7 We use this data to examine enrollment patterns across districts. The second type of data, based on household surveys, are different rounds of the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS) carried out in 1991, 1998 and 2001. While the data is not as extensive as the census, it contains detailed household information on schooling and income, and has been used extensively by researchers both in Pakistan and the United States.

Table A2 in the appendix shows how these different data sources are used in the paper. Each source asks about madrassa enrollment in a slightly different but comparable way. The population census (1998) asks about the field-of-education (“ What is name ’ s field of education? ”) with options that include (for instance) engineering, medicine, or religious education. This question is also asked of all literate adults irrespective of their current enrollment status, allowing for comparisons in the stock of religious education over time. The PIHS rounds ask, “ What type of school is name currently attending? ” with options that include government school, private school, or deeni-madrassa (religious schooling). Finally, the LEAPS census directly asks, “ Is the child enrolled in a madrassa or an Islamic education school? ” Fortunately these different questions all give rise to similar numbers. This is reassuring since it suggests that any one particular result is not driven by the specific question or definition that was used. 7 This is complemented with the census of private schools carried out by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in 2000 (www. statpak. gov. pk).

Since the data were collected prior to 2001, geopolitical changes after September 11 could have led to greater madrassa enrollment. In addition, the household-based survey faces the usual problems of accurately estimating a low-probability event — although enrollment is less than 1 percent in these surveys, the sampling error is large (see Bauman, 2001, for a description of similar problems in estimating home-schooling in the United States). Finally, while the census of populations does not face the problem of small samples, it is not that recent (1998) and some may have reservations regarding the quality of government data. 10 The LEAPS census of schooling choice conducted in 2003 provides a rough check on these numbers (see appendix for details). This census was conducted in three districts of Punjab and villages were chosen randomly based on the criterion that each village must have at least one private school. Typically, this means that the villages lies somewhere between fully urban and fully rural populations and are not representative of the districts that they are in.

There are three potential explanations for this difference. First, the LEAPS data is not representative of the district and could be off the mark for districts with wide variation in madrassa enrollment across rural and urban samples. Second, the experience of the last five years could have varied dramatically across districts — in some, the enrollment fractions did not change and in others it increased substantially. Third, the data could point to systematic problems with the census estimates from certain districts, or the statistical problems that arise when we try to estimate low-probability events. 3. 3 Explaining the Differences A number of reasons could account for differences between the estimates presented here and those in the popular press. 1. Differences in the sampling unit. Our estimates are all based on household surveys — an interviewer goes to a household and asks about the enrollment status of every child. Some census estimates of home rather than religious schooling in the United States — the former ranges from 1 to 2 percent (Bauman 2001) while the latter is closer to 8 percent (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001). 10 In our own analysis, we find the quality of the data generated by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Pakistan to be consistently high.

Conversely, sustained social and educational integration efforts are vital for positive outcomes. For instance, studies indicate that long-term integration can be hampered by social, economic, and institutional barriers (Chiswick and Miller, 2014), while interventions focused on language support and community engagement can lower these barriers (Ozden and Wagner, 2020). Further, speciϐic interventions aimed at removing obstacles to education for children on the move can contribute signiϐicantly to better integration outcomes (Schuettler and Caron, 2020). This paper beneϐits from key information coming from administrative data on educational records of Ukrainian refugees in Italy for the academic years 2021-2022 to 2023-2024 for grades 6 to 13. This provides a unique opportunity to examine enrollment, attendance, test performance, and other indicators of integration into the Italian educational system. Supplemented by survey data collected in 2023-2024, this study offers an overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by Ukrainian students in secondary schools and highlights areas for potential policy development. This study advances the literature by adding empirical evidence on the short- to medium-term educational impacts of displacement on young refugees within a European host country, offering insights into the role of education policy in mitigating human capital losses. It also contributes to discussions on human development by identifying factors that support or hinder integration, highlighting pathways for improving educational and social outcomes for refugee students. Results highlight that despite gradual improvements, enrollment rates remain signiϐicantly lower among refugees compared to native and other foreign students. Ukrainian refugees also demonstrate higher absenteeism and lower academic performance, particularly in subjects requiring language proϐiciency such as Italian and English. However, good performance in mathematics suggests potential strengths linked to their prior educational backgrounds.

Research design 4. 1 The survey We collected the data for this project during January to March 2015 as part of a nationwide survey on issues related to migration for the Labour Market Impacts of Forced Migration (LAMFOR) project. The survey had two components. First, a household survey in which 15 households were interviewed in 100 communities (i. e. sous-collines) across the 17 provinces of the country. Second, a community survey in which a local leader was interviewed in each of the 100 communities. The number of communities selected in each province was based on information from the 2008 Census.

See Train (2003), Chapter 3 for a detailed discussion. The estimation of models with correlated errors across choices requires either multiple integration or the use of Bayesian estimation techniques relying on Gibbs sampling. With a choice of over 70 possible destinations, multiple integration is out of the question. Gibbs sampling remains a possibility but would require extensive programming. We choose instead to keep the logit approach but to correct the standard errors for possible correlation in errors across choices. In our case the possible efficiency gain achieved by Bayesian methods does not appear to justify the programming cost. 7The effect could be negative — e. g., congestion — or positive — e. g., agglomeration externalities. 10 Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["past data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "To this effect, we replace yh i with yh i / yi in equation (1) and proceed as outlined above.

For migrants, the prospect of forming a large, successful household is likely to be one of the purposes of migration. 10The 1995 / 96 NLSS survey adopted the following sampling strategy.

Building on a growing literature documenting the relationship between subjective welfare and relative income, Fafchamps and Shilpi (2008) show that Nepalese households care about their consumption level relative to that of others in the same location. If this is the case, it is conceivable that migrants choose their destination not so much for the absolute gain in income it may provide but for the gain in relative status that would ensue. For instance, if returns to education and ability are higher in an urban setting, an educated individual may improve his relative position in society by moving from a rural to an urban setting. To investigate this possibility, we estimate equation (4) using the log of relative income (or relative consumption) as dependent variable and construct a predicted relative income measure using the same formula (5). These are shown in the second panel of Table 1. Theories of work migration predict that individuals move to increase their utility or welfare.

Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region in the world, and the world ’ s fastest-growing. Between 2010 and 2025, the number of people between 15 and 24 will grow to 250 million – a net increase of nearly 50 percent. Over the next decade, roughly one million young people will enter the labor market each month in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, these young people often enter the labor market too early and unprepared. Although access to education is growing, illiteracy remains high and schooling low: among the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries in the Barro-Lee (2010) data set, nearly 40 percent of women aged 15 and above have received no education at all; and the most recent (2007-2011) statistics in the World Bank ’ s Edstats data reveal that female literacy is less than 60 percent, on average. 1 This lack of preparedness contributes to a growing problem of youth unemployment. Quantifying the level of unemployment is bedeviled by lack of data and measurement issues. Household and labor force surveys throughout Africa usually record unemployment rates of less than 10 percent, 2 but those figures belie the extent of underemployment and vulnerability. Those same surveys indicate that the vast majority of working adults have insecure work in the informal sector, on the family farm, or in less- productive or unremunerated labor.

Among young women (15-24) in Liberia, the unemployment rate is 8 percent, double the rate among young men (LISGIS 2010). Most of these gaps can be explained by differences across individuals, especially in educational attainment, skills training, and years of experience. But segregation, market segmentation, and discrimination do play a role in determining these individual characteristics. Women have fewer opportunities for education or training, less access to credit, a larger share of domestic responsibilities, and less independence and control over their own lives. In Liberia, women comprise half of the employed, but only about one-quarter of paid employment (LISGIS 2011).

Methodology 3. 1.

The treatment group is defined as those who were offered a space in the first round of training and the control group comprises those assigned to the second round. Selection into the training rounds was performed on a computer (using Excel) and was stratified by the track choice of the applicant (job skills versus business development skills), community, and service provider. Data were collected using three quantitative household surveys (baseline, midline, and endline) and two sets of qualitative focus group discussions (one after each round of training). A timeline of the impact evaluation is depicted in Figure 1.

The results in this paper are based on a panel data set that includes data from the baseline and midline surveys as well as administrative and monitoring data from the program implementation team. Note that although the midline data collection occurred just one month after the completion of the intervention, the intervention itself includes 6 months of post-training follow-up; hence the midline survey captures outcomes of the first cohort 7 months after they exited the classroom-based training. This timing was necessary to prevent too long of a delay between cohorts; the second cohort of trainees started immediately after the midline survey was completed. Future analysis using endline data will examine the trends in outcomes of both groups after Round 1 completion, but will not involve comparison against a pure control group of non-participants. 3. 2.

The confessional system of governance has heavily impeded the equitable and efficient distribution of investments and public services. Provision and targeting of public services tend to be guided by considerations of confessional quotas and electoral geography rather than needs- based service delivery that favors the poor. In the absence of effective state institutions, sectarian organizations have played a key role in the provision of social services such as education, health, and welfare support to the most vulnerable groups linked to their electorates, thus deepening a sense of discriminatory and inequitable system (World Bank, 2016; Kraft et al., 2008).

Non-selected youth are more likely to be older, more educated (hold more academic degrees), come from Beqaa and Nabatiye, and have parents with intermediate education (grade 7 to 9). Selected youth are more likely to be males, younger, students, come from Mount Lebanon and the North, and have mothers with university education. Both groups appear balanced on key outcomes related to soft skills, tolerance values, and labor market outcomes. The exception is that non-selected youth exhibited a better sense of belonging to the Lebanese community and selected youth were more likely to have been unpaid employees (interns) at the time of baseline data collection. In addition to comparing means of observable characteristics, the study also tested for the differences in the statistical distributions of key outcomes using two sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of the equality of distributions.

Measuring social cohesion values in large-scale surveys is challenging. We are unable to use extensive measures, but rely instead on brief measures adapted from Harb (2010). The tolerance measure relies on a series of 12 questions, each of which is ranked on a four-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 12 and 48 points. The sense of belonging to the Lebanese community measure consists of 18 questions, each of which is ranked on a seven-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 18 and 126.

The answer to this question is found by identifying the poverty gap for refugees. This opens the second track which explores the factors that determine, or at least that are associated with, the size of the poverty gap. The note is organized as follows.

Conclusions follow. 2 The poverty numbers in World Bank (2019) are based on the official poverty line adopted in Uganda in 1997. There was a need to update this line as it was too old and producing a very low poverty rate.

The size of land also differs a lot among Ugandan and refugee households. Most Ugandans have at least 0. 05 hectare per capita, while the majority of refugees have less than 0. 05 hectare per capita. Refugee heads of household are also less likely to work and less likely to be literate compared to their Ugandan counterparts. Refugees have higher shares of children and elderly in household size compared to Ugandans.

Exposure The main reason why urban risk is large and increasing is the rise in exposure. Although urbanization statistics suffer from a lack of standard definitions of what should be considered ‘ urban ’, the assumption of half the world ’ s population living in cities seems realistic. Urban populations are growing in practically all developing countries. About 40-60 percent of this growth can be attributed to natural growth, i. e., fertility of urban dwellers (Montgomery 2009). The remaining growth is due to urban expansion and migration, reducing the share of rural residents except where rural fertility is vastly larger. The latest UN urban population estimates suggest that, globally, urban population exceeded rural population for the first time in 2008 (UN 2008). In less developed regions, this threshold is expected to be reached by 2019. This continuing urbanization process will lead to an increase of exposure of people and economic activity in hazard prone urban areas.

Their dataset also includes information on many factors that determine the supply and demand for central office space such as construction wage rates, steel and cement prices, geographic constraints, metropolitan populations and incomes. We link this information to the natural disasters hotspot dataset (Dilley et al. 2005), and examine if city demand – as reflected in office rents, is sensitive to risk from natural disasters. Gomez-Ibañez and Ruiz Nuñez (2006) focus on offices in the primary business district, which they define as the district having the highest density of employment; a very large, if not the largest, concentration of offices; and the highest rents in the metropolitan area.

On the other hand, middle income households moved away to avoid risk, and the wealthy, for whom insurance and self-protection was the most affordable, did not change where they lived. Poor people “ sort ” into low rent locations – which are often at higher risk to natural hazards. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries where there is a divide between the formal and informal markets for land. While formal developments may respect land use regulations, informal settlements are often located in hazard prone locations, such as on hill slopes, close to river banks, or near open drains and sewers. In Dhaka for example, informal settlements are developing across the metropolitan area, with many residents lacking basic public services and in locations at risk from flooding. In fact, most informal settlements do not have access to a public toilet within 100 meters, and 7, 600 households in 44 slums live within 50m of the river (World Bank 2005, Dhaka Urban Poverty Assessment).

Implications for public policy Hazard management is a task both for the public sector and for private households and firms. For the public sector in cities, this includes ensuring the safety of municipal buildings and public urban infrastructure, encouraging and supporting private sector hazard risk reduction, and developing first response capacity. A considerable share of hazard risk stems from relatively small but frequent events which cause localized damage and few injuries or deaths (Bull-Kamanga et al. 2003). For instance, an analysis of detailed records of 126 thousand hazard events in Latin America showed that more than 99 percent of reported events caused less than 50 deaths or 500 destroyed houses (ISDR 2009). In aggregate, these accounted for 16. 3 percent of total hazard related mortality and 51. 3 percent of housing damage. The probability of larger events may or may not be predictable.

The job is designed to embody the key features inherent to ‘ work ’. Drawing from the economics literature, workers must exert real effort and their task occupies a meaningful portion of their work day. Drawing from the sociology literature, the work involves some degree of sociability and purpose in the completion of a productive task. Employment lasts for eight weeks, a long duration given the scarce daily labor opportunities that arise in our setting. Relative to this employment arm, our control arm receives no work and a small fee for weekly survey participation. A comparison of the control to the employment arm therefore yields the psychosocial benefits of the employment intervention. In order to estimate the non-pecuniary psychosocial value of employment, we include a cash treatment arm, in which no work is offered, but a large fee (equivalent to that received by those in the employment arm) for weekly survey participation is provided. We work in the Rohingya refugee camps, situated upon the southern tip of Bangladesh. 1We obtained formal permissions from camp administration to engage our study participants in this manner through our NGO partner, Pulse Bangladesh. 1", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "An additional 33 blocks were assigned to the cash group, where participants earned 450 taka (USD $ 5. 30) per week as compensation for survey participation.

Given that the WFP provisions are the only reliable rations that refugees receive, we approximate a cash transfer of 450 taka per week to at least double potential weekly consumption.

Average baseline borrowing (typically in the form of store credit) is 1, 600 taka, with a median of 600 taka. Refugees have no economically meaningful assets that may be more common among the rural poor, such as land or cattle, given the unanticipated displacement which forced them from their homes. Relative to other employment opportunities, average reported pay is 300 taka per day for less than three days. The monthly cash transfer is therefore more than double what a refugee might expect from alternative employment if he or she is fortunate enough to secure a job. 4 Data Collection and Survey Instruments Timeline and survey instruments We collected data via a baseline, commencing in November 2019, and endline survey, commencing in February 2020, as well as seven midline surveys conducted prior to payment disbursal each week.

Main outcome variables Our primary outcome of interest is psychosocial well-being, which we assess through an index of seven mental and social health measures, henceforth re- ferred to as the psychosocial (PS) index: depression, stress, life satisfaction, locus of control, sociability, self-worth, and stability. Our measures of depression, stress, life satisfaction, and locus of control are drawn from standard screening tools (PHQ-9, Cohen ’ s Perceived Stress Scale, Diener ’ s Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Levenson Multidimensional Internal Locus of Control Scales, respectively) adapted for sensitivity to the Rohingya camp context. The PHQ, our depression screening tool, has been validated against antidepressant medica- tion (L ¨ owe et al., 2006) and employed in the cross-section among refugee populations (Poole et al., 2018) as well as in experimental evaluations of psychotherapy programs in South Asia (Patel et al., 2017; Bhat et al., 2021).

We develop our own questions around self- worth rather than employing the more standard Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, which we found inappropriate given the Rohingya ’ s recent experiences. Specifically, we construct an index of self-worth from two questions designed to elicit respondents ’ beliefs about how they contribute to their family and community. Finally, we adapt the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale (Cantril, 1965) to measure how stable respondents feel in their present lives and in the future. We additionally examine the impacts of each treatment on physical health, cognitive function, economic decision making, time-use, and consumption. We capture respondents ’ sense of physical health by asking how many days they have fallen sick in the past thirty days and cognitive function by employing a digit-span memory test and a series of basic arithmetic problems. We explore economic decision making along two dimensions: incentivized time preferences (Andreoni and Sprenger, 2012; Gin ´ e et al., 2018) and incentivized risk preferences (Holt and Laury, 2002).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "We measure time-use through the number of hours in the previous day a respondent reports spending idle, as well as the amount of time spent on a variety of other common activities one might do in the camps (including bathing, market, chores, collection of rations, eating, child-rearing, sitting at tea stalls, praying, sleeping, visiting friends / relatives, playing games, playing sport, sitting idle). Finally, we ask respondents how much they consume, borrow and save over the past week. We further consider changes in perceptions on gender and power in two ways. First, we generate a Household Power Index, composed of a set of questions on perceptions of gendered decision-making and intimate partner violence. The questions are drawn from Haushofer and Shapiro (2016), which are themselves adapted from the Demographic Health Surveys. In addition, we produce a Work Rights Index, composed of questions around whether respondents feel that women should be allowed to work inside or outside the home or the camp block. Each outcome is described in greater detail in Appendix C. The frequency with which each outcome is collected is also presented in Appendix C. Multiple hypothesis testing We utilize two approaches to address the issue of multiple hypothesis testing. First, we present our primary outcome, psychosocial well-being, as an inverse-covariance weighted index variable following Anderson (2008). We also generate index variables for other outcomes in which this is possible, such as the cognitive index, the household power index, and the work rights index. Our second strategy is to report the sharpened False Discovery Rate (FDR) q-values for all outcomes within a particular table, which control for the expected proportion of rejections that are type I errors, likewise 12", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Demographic Health Surveys", "Work Rights Index"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "which increases significantly under both treatment arms. In other words, the psychosocial value to employment appears to be driven largely by the non-pecuniary dimensions of the employment experience. 5. 4 Impacts of employment on reported physical health, cognitive function, and economic decision-making The positive effects of employment extend to other measures beyond psychosocial health. Table 3 presents results on reported physical health, cognitive function, and incentivized measures of risk and time preference. We observe a significant increase in the days reported healthy. This effect may be due to ‘ real ’ health improvements from increased exercise (which has also been documented to translate to improved mental health (Herbert et al. (2020))) from the employment task or ‘ perceived ’ health improvements in which improved psychoso- cial well-being translates into feeling less physically ill. Should the channel be exercise, we may expect health improvements to grow over time. Our weekly data on days healthy sug- gests this is not the case: we observe the treatment effect on health from the first week of working, and the gap remains steady throughout the following two months (Appendix Figure A3).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["weekly data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The employment arm also significantly improves cognitive function as measured through an index of memory and basic arithmetic tests, a finding consistent with a large psychol- ogy literature documenting the relationship between cognitive processes and depression (Semkovska et al., 2019). As with physical health, improvements to cognitive function are unlikely to be a direct product of the employment task itself, which was specifically de- signed to require no literacy or mathematical skill. Rather, these results are suggestive of a downstream impact to reducing depression through the experience of employment. Finally, we find no change in time preferences: treated individuals are no more or less likely to discount the future relative to control counterparts, although results may have differed had we engaged participants in an effort or consumption-based time preference game rather than a financial one. However, we find a substantial increase in risk tolerance among the employed. A greater preference for risk-taking may be indicative of employment serving as a form of psychological ‘ insurance ’ that allows participants the mental bandwidth to exercise greater risk. This is consistent with the positive impacts of employment on stability as well as with a key motive underlying universal basic income (UBI) in the developing world (Banerjee, Niehaus, and Suri, 2019). Interestingly, however, we document no parallel increase in risk tolerance in the cash transfer arm. Our result on risk preference also echoes a potential consequence of depression and anxiety described in Ridley et al. (2020), although empirical 15", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Having experienced the work task and therefore able to realistically value the work, we offer individuals in the employment arm an additional [surprise] week of work at a series of wages following the incentivized Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) method. We inform participants that we have a limited amount of funds remaining and are therefore unable to pay everyone their previous wage. This strategy realistically motivates the reservation wage elicitation exercise and makes clear that there will be no further opportunities for work. We piloted this exercise extensively. To maximize comprehension, we employ a multiple price list strategy, embed repeated confirmations, and conduct a trial run of the exercise for each respondent before the real exercise; this mimics the procedure employed in Burchardi et al. (2021) for which participants in another low-income country field context exhibited high comprehension. For those individuals who express willingness to work at a wage of zero, we offer an alternative option of answering a brief survey at the end of the week for a small, randomized fee; we then use the fraction of respondents who are willing to forego this paid option and instead work for free as an estimate of the proportion of respondents who have a negative reservation wage of at least the foregone magnitude. 16", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Second, we complement our psychosocial index with measures that are not vulnerable to experimenter demand. Demand effects are unlikely to alter one ’ s cognitive ability as measured through the arithmetic questions and memory tests of our cognitive index.

Perhaps employed individuals feel a need to impress the enumerator, as their proximate employer, in a way cash recipients do not. This may lead to reporting better mental and physical health and investing greater effort in the cognitive tasks. However, we find that life satisfaction increases substantially for both groups, inconsistent with a differential desire to impress among the employed. We also observe patterns of treatment effects within our validated PHQ-9 module that are inconsistent with experimenter demand (Appendix Table 12The signaling value of the certificate may have been diminished if other employers learned about the nature of the certificate distribution. Our time in the field suggests this is unlikely: we randomized certificate distribution at the block level to limit spillovers, only five people in each block of ˜ 200 adults was involved in the experiment, and job opportunities were scarce. 13The certificate read “ I engaged with Pulse Bangladesh to do data collection ”.

The re- mainder receive a blank calendar and are instead informed weekly about their schedule. We find no impact of a schedule on respondent well-being or decision-making (Appendix Table A7). Despite this exercise, we cannot causally estimate the role of the structure alone on well-being, as the structure imposed by regular employment is coextensive with employment itself. Indeed, our measure of stability, which asks respondents how secure they feel at the moment and expect to feel in the future, increases substantially among the employed relative to both control and cash arms. Time use Does employment improve well-being by allowing participants to substitute time away from unsavory or psychosocially costly activities?

As we are powered to detect changes of at least twenty minutes for each activity, our results suggest that large substitutions away from unsavory activities are unlikely to be driving the improvements in psychosocial well-being, insofar as the respondent recalls. 1718 We also investigate whether those who were more idle prior to being employed benefit more from employment. We find no impact along this margin, suggesting that the elimination of boredom per se is not the driving force behind the psychosocial value of employment (Appendix Table A10). 17Most respondents do not track their day by time, making collection of reliable time use data challenging (though recent literature documents the broader unreliability of such data).

In substance, the CIS-7 may fit the developing countries scenario better than the transitional countries scenario in the Schneider and Klinglmair (2004) regressions. If this is the case, we should expect that the growth of the informal sector negatively contributes to growth. The data we have do not contradict this hypothesis given that the shadow economy has been on the rise during the recession period and has stabilised during the growth period. This digression on informality suggests that self-employment may partially act as an host to in- formal and illegal activities especially during recessions where self-employment may constitute a refuge for small informal and illegal businesses. Self-employment is also evidently a sector of ne- cessity for those who wish to keep health and pension records alive and do not want to formally register anywhere else.

We have in fact introduced one further dimension of labor market segmentation, the wage / non-wage labor divide. Labor flows between these different states may contribute to explain the employment puzzle. For this purpose, we turn to Moldova, a country that in many respects could be considered as the average scenario in our CIS-7 sample. Moldova is also the only country that disposes of a consis- tent longitudinal panel survey between 1997 and 2002 which can be used to assess labor market flows during the growth period and test some hypotheses on the evolution of the labor market.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["consis- tent longitudinal panel survey"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "We use the whole longitudinal sample and the restricted panel sample to compute the statistics, the transitional probabilities and the probit regressions presented below. 19 In figure 4. 1, we show the distribution of the population across working categories and between 1998 ad 2002. The employed population has marginally increased in percentage of the total popu- lation. A migration of workers has also occurred from wage labor to non wage labor and this mi- gration has taken place mostly within agriculture. The most significant change in fact occurred among rural workers with farmers growing very significantly at the expenses of agricultural em- ployees. Non agricultural labor has remained practically unchanged during the period while agri- cultural employment has increased marginally. This phenomenon occurred during the post-1998 recession (1998-1999) and during the subsequent growth period (2000-2002). In table 4. 4, we report the population structure by category20.

Evidence of effectiveness is relatively limited; most well-evaluated initiatives come from high-income countries, and the lessons learned may not be applicable to developing countries. Evaluations of law enforcement reforms in low and middle income countries have typically been limited to case study approaches drawing from police records (notorious for under-reporting), qualitative perspectives from key informant interviews, intermediate outcomes such as changes in attitudes and knowledge among police and judges, and interviews with small numbers of women who have sought legal redress. Population-based data collection, control groups, or follow-up among more than a handful of survivors are rare. Nonetheless, the following initiatives illustrate the types of efforts that have produced important lessons learned. Training personnel in the police and judiciary and other parts of the justice system Throughout the world, organizations have launched efforts to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of justice sector personnel regarding gender-based violence.

Elsewhere, governments have collaborated with the United Nations to provide training and support for the police and judiciary. For example, ILANUD is a joint institute of the government of Costa Rica and the United Nations that works with governmental agencies throughout Latin America to improve the work of prosecutors, judges, lawyers, police and other professionals in criminal justice generally, and gender-based violence specifically (Villanueva, 1999; ILANUD, n. d.). Most of these initiatives have been evaluated using key informant interviews and pre and post questionnaires before and after training-if they have been evaluated at all. Nonetheless, training appears to be both constructive and urgently needed (Rashid, 2001; Villanueva, 1999). Other lessons learned include the finding that changing attitudes of law enforcement is a challenging, long-term process. The quality of the trainings ’ content and the skills of the trainer are essential. Training appears to be most effective when all levels of personnel (especially high-level officials) participate, and when training is backed up with changes throughout the institution, such as policies, procedures, adequate resources, and continual monitoring and evaluation.

Instead, Heise and colleagues argue that the most effective way to improve the health care response is to use a “ systems approach ” involving reforms throughout the organization. Typically, these initiatives include changes in norms, policies and protocols, infrastructure upgrades to ensure private consultations, training all staff (including managers), ensuring that providers have adequate resources such as referral networks and directories, and strengthening the ability of staff to provide emergency services such as danger assessment, safety planning, emotional support, STI prophylaxis, and emergency contraception. In settings where adequate referral services do not exist, health programs sometimes offer specialized services such as counseling, legal aid and women ’ s support groups. The International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF / WHR) carried out an initiative illustrating the “ systems approach ” in four member associations in Latin America, namely: Profamilia (the Dominican Republic), INPPARES (Peru), and PLAFAM (Venezuela), with some participation from BEMFAM (Brazil).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Quantitative and qualitative baseline, midterm and follow-up studies concluded that the initiative improved provider attitudes and practices; strengthened patient privacy and confidentiality; increased detection of women who experienced physical and sexual abuse; improved the overall quality of women ’ s health care; and benefited survivors through the provision of specialized services such as legal aid, counseling and support groups (Guedes, Bott, and Cuca, 2002; Guedes et al., 2002; Bott, Guedes, and Guezmes, forthcoming). This initiative benefited from generous funding from international donors, and it might be difficult for other organizations to replicate the project in its entirety; however, IPPF / WHR has disseminated a large body of recommendations and tools designed to help organizations in low-income settings build on their experiences. Routine screening (also called routine enquiry) Research indicates that without routine screening, providers typically identify only a fraction of women requiring assistance with physical or sexual abuse. Routine screening for violence has increasingly been considered the standard of care within women ’ s health services in the United States and other industrialized countries (American Medical Association, 1992; Buel, 2001). However, a vigorous debate has erupted over the benefits and risks of routine screening, particularly in resource-poor settings (Ramsay et al., 2002; Garcia Moreno, 2002).

The South African National Department of Education (in collaboration with international organizations) has developed a training module for educators (South African National Department of Education, 2001).

Batterer programs Increasingly, NGOs and governments have attempted to reduce violence against women by organizing treatment programs for batterers, aimed at changing their attitudes and behaviors. Most are run by NGOs, but they often depend on court- mandated attendance as an alternative to criminal sanctions. Most batterer programs have been carried out in high-income countries, but increasingly they have been implemented by developing country NGOs, such as the Instituto Noos in Brazil (White, Greene, and Murphy, 2003) and CORIAC in Mexico (Morrison and Biehl, 1999). Many studies have evaluated these programs ’ effectiveness in high-income countries, but most evaluations have been methodologically flawed. The only randomized controlled trial to date was carried out by the United States Navy, which found no reduction in abuse compared with controls (Dunford, 2000). Battered women often identify treatment or counseling for their husbands as a high priority (e. g. Ellsberg, 2001b), but it remains to be seen whether cost-effective strategies for changing batterer behavior can be found.

While participation in microcredit programs appeared to increase women ’ s empowerment over time, levels of violence did not decline, and in some cases even rose. Ultimately, researchers concluded that-- similar to other types of empowerment initiatives-- micro-credit programs appear to work in two directions at once. On the one hand, they reduce women's vulnerability to violence by strengthening their access to resources and making women's lives more public; on the other hand, they may increase the risk of violence by challenging patriarchal norms and escalating conflict in the household. Some micro-credit programs are trying to reduce the potential risks of exacerbating violence associated with micro-credit. For example, RADAR (South Africa) has integrated HIV / AIDS and gender-based violence prevention into an existing microcredit program for women in poor rural communities.

The estimation of models with correlated errors across choices requires either multiple integration or the use of Bayesian estimation techniques relying on Gibbs sampling. With a choice of over 70 possible destinations, multiple integration is out of the question. Gibbs sampling remains a possibility but would require extensive programming. We choose instead to keep the logit approach but to correct the standard errors for possible correlation in errors across choices.

Building on a growing literature documenting the relationship between subjective welfare and relative income, Fafchamps and Shilpi (2008) show that Nepalese households care about their consumption level relative to that of others in the same location. If this is the case, it is conceivable that migrants choose their destination not so much for the absolute gain in income it may provide but for the gain in relative status that would ensue. For instance, if returns to education and ability are higher in an urban setting, an educated individual may improve his relative position in society by moving from a rural to an urban setting.

Conversely, sustained social and educational integration efforts are vital for positive outcomes. For instance, studies indicate that long-term integration can be hampered by social, economic, and institutional barriers (Chiswick and Miller, 2014), while interventions focused on language support and community engagement can lower these barriers (Ozden and Wagner, 2020). Further, speciϐic interventions aimed at removing obstacles to education for children on the move can contribute signiϐicantly to better integration outcomes (Schuettler and Caron, 2020). This paper beneϐits from key information coming from administrative data on educational records of Ukrainian refugees in Italy for the academic years 2021-2022 to 2023-2024 for grades 6 to 13. This provides a unique opportunity to examine enrollment, attendance, test performance, and other indicators of integration into the Italian educational system. Supplemented by survey data collected in 2023-2024, this study offers an overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by Ukrainian students in secondary schools and highlights areas for potential policy development. This study advances the literature by adding empirical evidence on the short- to medium-term educational impacts of displacement on young refugees within a European host country, offering insights into the role of education policy in mitigating human capital losses. It also contributes to discussions on human development by identifying factors that support or hinder integration, highlighting pathways for improving educational and social outcomes for refugee students. Results highlight that despite gradual improvements, enrollment rates remain signiϐicantly lower among refugees compared to native and other foreign students. Ukrainian refugees also demonstrate higher absenteeism and lower academic performance, particularly in subjects requiring language proϐiciency such as Italian and English. However, good performance in mathematics suggests potential strengths linked to their prior educational backgrounds.

Data Sources and Methods 3. 1. Administrative data on educational outcomes in Italy Two administrative data sources represent the backbone of this paper. These are the administrative data obtained from the Ministry of Education (MoE) for academic years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023- 24, and standardized test score data from the Italian National Institute for the Evaluation of the Educational System (INVALSI) for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Ukrainian refugees are deϐined as Ukrainian students who enrolled in Italian schools after February 2022.

Connectedness to Italy is correlated with demographic characteristics and social environment of refugee children. Additionally, Table 6 shows that making new friends in the country of destination and speaking Italian are strongly associated with higher connection to Italy.

To measure altruism and trust, we employ the questions from the Global Preference Survey, a tool developed by Falk et al. (2022) to elicit risk, time, and social preferences.

VII Discussion In this study, we analyze novel and unique data on forcibly displaced migrants and hosts, focusing on children and adolescents, to highlight the disparities in human development between them. The structure our analysis in two parts. In the first part, we characterize the main trends in the data. We show that forcibly displaced households have a wealth distribution skewed towards lower values relative to Colombian households. This is likely explained by the assets ownership loss that forcibly displaced households expe- rienced after the migration episode. We also identify meaningful lags in human capital accumulation between Colombian and Venezuelan children and adolescents of approxi- mately 1 year. We further note that the Colombian government ’ s supportive policies for Venezuelan forced migrants are evident through high levels of service access and pro- gram participation for migrants. Nevertheless, it remains surprising that participation is not higher, suggesting significant potential for improvement in increasing sisb ´ en and health insurance enrollments.

In theory, a few of the crises studied could have been predicted but it would not be possible to allocate individuals to treated and non-treated groups randomly given that, by the definition of forced displacement we provided, people are fleeing violence, persecution or high levels of insecurity or uncertainty. Consequently, none of the papers reviewed is based on a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Due to the randomness of the decision to leave (because of conflict, violence, insecurity or major political events) and / or the random allocation of displaced people in the country of destination (by policy or by default), some authors argue that they are in the presence of natural experiments. All authors do, however, address the question of endogeneity and, if one searches for a common thread, these evaluations would be better described as quasi-natural experiments.

There are also only a handful of papers that discuss estimations of the error term and choices made in this regard. The two prevalent evaluation methods used by these studies are Differences-in Difference (DD) methods and linear elasticities models. In the first case, the variable of interest (FD) is a discrete status variable (generally a pre / post- treated / non-treated interaction term) and the coefficient of interest measures the impact on outcomes in the presence or absence of displaced people. In the second case, the model is typically in log form and is based on a shock variable that measures the intensity of the shock such as the number or share of refugees per geographical unit. In this case, the coefficient measures the elasticity of outcomes to the intensity of displacement. A few papers conduct simple differences illustrating results graphically or in tabular form. A few papers use ordinary matching methods (Alix-Garcia and Bartlett 2015, Aydemir and Kirdar 2018, Murard and Sakalli 2017; Mayda et al. 2017) and three papers use Synthetic Matching Methods (Peri and Yasenov 2017; Borjas 2017; Makela 2017). We could not find any paper using a discontinuity design. 12 The essential ingredients used to measure the population shock are the number or presence of forcibly displaced persons, the size of the host population and the distance of the displaced from host communities if the displaced are clustered in camps or other forms of independent settlements.

The choice of matching methods varies from ordinary methods such as nearest neighbor to more recent advances such as Synthetic Control Methods (Abadie and Gardeazabal, 2003). The inclusion of fixed effects is common to almost all papers although the choice of fixed effects can be very different, as described above. Only one paper uses Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) formal models in conjunction and tests for differences (Esen and Binatli 2017).

When comparing impacts between locations within a country, cross-sectional data also usually does not allow to capture impacts on those who moved out and to differentiate impacts between those who were already there before the shock and those who moved in afterwards. Some of the models based on administrative areas qualify as spatial econometrics models in that they use estimation methods that derive from this literature and are published in spatial econometrics journals. Studies that compare different areas within a country are not only confronted with the potential endogeneity of the size and skill composition of the inflow and the choice of destination, but also with the endogenous reactions of the host community. Local workers might respond to the labor supply shock by dropping out of the labor force, investing in education, occupational upgrading or moving to other areas and diffusing the impact of the inflow. Even if local workers do not respond to wage variations, capital flows may equalize capital / labor ratios within the country, labor-intensive industries might move towards the regions with a high refugee or IDP influx or firms might use more labor-intensive production technologies. The reactions of the host country workers, investors and firms are medium-to long-term in nature and will play less of a role in the short-term if there are large, sudden and geographically concentrated inflows. Some of the papers explicitly analyze these potential channels, notably migration of local workers, and, to a lesser extent, occupational upgrading. Outmigration of hosts is a critical complement to the labor market analysis and excluding this outcome can lead to an underestimation of the impacts of forced displacement on the labor market outcomes of natives.

The second question relates to possible spurious correlations generated by how variables are combined in models. Linear models that use ratios of two variables as dependent variable (think of average prices or wages, employment rates or consumption per capita) and the denominator of this ratio as independent variables (think of the share of refugees on host communities or household size) can produce spurious correlations (Kronmal 1993).

This is clearly a shortcoming of this literature that will require increased attention in the future. 4. Meta-analysis of empirical results 4. 1 Data The literature review covers 49 papers spanning over a period of 29 years. We were not able to find published papers prior to the work by Card in 1990, which effectively started this literature, and there is a relatively low interest in this topic between 1990 and 2011 with only one or two papers published per year. With the Syrian crisis starting in 2011 and the EU crisis in 2015 the number of papers per year increased by several fold. Most of the papers and results considered in this review are therefore very recent (Figure 2). We used academic databases and search engines (EconLit, Social Science Research Network, JSTOR, Google Scholar) and searched websites of institutions with relevant working paper series (NBER, IZA, ERF and others). Relevant unpublished papers were included by searching agendas of workshops and conferences organized during the past few years. From the papers reviewed, we selected a total of 762 results summarized in Table 3. The results database was compiled as follows.

Conclusion The paper reviewed 49 empirical studies that focused on estimating the impact of forced displacement on host communities. This literature covers 17 different displacement situations in high, medium and low- income countries covering the impact on the labor and consumer markets. A total of 762 results have been used for the meta-analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review of this literature. The empirical modeling analysis highlighted the main traits of this literature. By definition, all studies operate ex-post, after the displacement crisis has taken place. The unexpected nature of the crisis and the randomness of the allocation of displaced persons are two elements used to defend the natural experiment assumption. However, all papers address the central question of endogeneity. The instrumental variable approach is the dominant method to address endogeneity issues and instruments tend to focus on either distance from the shock or previous location of migrants.

This is not only those who are killed or injured in conflict but the large number of people who are forced to leave their homes. The issue of refugees has received particular attention in Western media in recent years as refugee flows from Northern Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan are increasingly reaching Europe. These refugee streams are linked to a severe humanitarian crisis with considerable funding needs for international donors and heavy strains on host countries. 21 The current refugee crisis, however, is in no way unique. Civil war has always been closely linked to humanitarian crisis and refugee streams are one way to capture this. In this section we provide a cross-country analysis aimed at investigating how the stock of refugees evolves when a civil conflict hits a country. In the analysis we will focus entirely on showing changes in the stock of refugees across time to illustrate the dimensions involved. We will base our later analysis on these population movements.

We focus on these numbers as they appear to be the most comparable across time and countries. However, this is likely to capture only the tip of the iceberg in some cases. The number of IDPs is extremely high in some instances but cannot be captured with the same level of confidence as refugees generally. 23 Cross-country data about conflict is provided by the UCDP / PRIO.

As final piece of evidence for this idea we use data on political short and mid-term credit risk from the Belgian insurer Delcredere Ducroire (ONDD). We collected data on political risk evaluations from ONDD who, according to their annual report, insured transactions worth about 7 billion EUR in 2011. The variable we use measures the risk of a credit default for rea- sons beyond the control of the debtor, i. e. due to political or financial macroeconomic events. We choose this variable because it provides the most consistent time-series in the ONDD data. ONDD measures both short- and mid-term risk on a scale from 1 (low risk) to 7 (high risk). Table 12, columns (1) and (4) show that risk ratings are decreasing in peacetime.

The effect is also economically meaningful- about one quarter of a standard deviation in the case of short term risks. In columns (2) and (5) we show the specification in which we add a dummy for the first five years of recovery and fragile peace. The coefficient on fragile peace is positive and of similar size in both cases. Mid-term risk is evaluated significantly higher in periods that are followed by conflict. In columns (3) and (6) we include the fitted values gained from a regression of fragility on refugees and political exclusion. Again the fitted values predict higher risk evaluations by ONDD. The estimate is not very precise but quantitatively large both for short- and mid-term evaluations. A rise in the fitted risk by 10 percentage points coincides with an increase in risk evaluations by 0. 08 to 0. 16. Evaluations like this have real-life repercussions as they are used to decide on insurance premiums. Our results signal a clear margin for policy. Attracting foreign investment appears to be a lot harder if a government excludes or even discriminates against parts of the population and refugees have not returned to their homes. We argue that this is true even if investors only care about stability. In this view, investment can be attracted to a country through policies that de-escalate conflict and commit the warring parties to peace in the period right after violence stops. 56", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "violent conflict. Besley and Mueller (2015a) argue that foreign investors seem to know that growth volatility changes with strong executive constraints and therefore react significantly to their adoption. In summary, the literature suggests that a lack of constraints on executive power at the country level could play a key role in building inequalities across regions and ethnic groups. In the absence of strong executive constraint, we expect regions populated by ethnic groups that have access to executive power to perform better relative to others due to ethnic favoritism. Conversely, excluded ethnic groups should experience relatively worse economic performance compared to other groups in the absence of such constraints. 46 To test these hypothesis we use data on ethnic groups ’ access to executive power and night light intensity from the GROWup Research Front-End (RFE Release 2. 0) dataset and executive constraint data from the Polity IV dataset.

The Listening to Displaced People Survey The Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS) combines a baseline face-to-face survey with mobile phone follow-up interviews. During the baseline survey respondents were identified and information on household and respondent characteristics was collected. Once the baseline interview was completed, respondents were given a mobile phone and started to receive, at monthly intervals, phone interviews from a call center in Bamako. During these phone interviews structured questions were asked about welfare of the household. Phone interviews are standard practice in developed countries and they are increasingly being used in less developed countries, as the coverage of cell phone networks expands. Not only do these kinds of surveys allow for low cost, high frequency representative data collection (Hoogeveen et", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Listening to Displaced People Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "4 al. 2014), mobile phone surveys also turn out to be remarkably flexible and adaptive. New questions can be introduced on a needs basis and in-depth qualitative interviews can be carried out at a moment ’ s notice. These qualities make mobile phone surveys well suited for monitoring welfare in volatile environments: they have been used for welfare monitoring during the ebola crisis in Liberia (Himelein 2014) and for welfare monitoring in conflict-affected areas such as South Sudan (Demombynes et al. 2013). Unique about using a mobile phone survey with a displaced, mobile population is that it allows tracking welfare during displacement, and upon return. 8 Three target populations were identified for the purpose of this survey: Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in Bamako, refugees in refugee camps in Mauritania and Niger, and returnees in Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal, the capitals of regions that bear their names. The sample does not include those who were not displaced by the crisis nor those who returned to places other than the three regional capitals in the North.

Returnees were identified in the regional capitals of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal where the phone network was (still) functional. The approach to selecting respondents differed by location and depended on the availability of pre-existing population information.  Bamako: Listing information of all households with IDPs was obtained from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Based on this data 10 districts were selected and in each district 10 households were randomly identified.  Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal: No listing data was available and the cities were divided into different sectors. The enumerator was assigned a starting point in a sector, a direction (North, South, East, West) and based on the code of the day 9 the enumerator selected the first household.

Characteristics of the Displaced and Returnee Population According to the 2009 population census, the two most sizeable ethnic groups in northern Mali are the Songhai (45 %) and Kel Tamasheq (32 %)-- see Table 2. The crisis brought about an ethnic divide, which is reflected in the composition of the three sub-samples. The majority of IDPs and returnees are Songhai (75 % and 71 % respectively), while the majority of refugees are Kel Tamasheq.

Challenges Faced by Returnees The results suggest that returnees were less affected by the crisis than IDPs and refugees. This is reflected in data on asset and livestock ownership, but also in the information pertaining to exposure to violence. Returnees reported fewer victims; fewer returnees reported to have lost income as a consequence of the crisis; more of their children were able to continue schooling; and relative to IDPs and refugees, fewer perceived being poorer in June 2014 than before the crisis.

Similar results hold for IDPs and returnees, who put much more confidence in state authorities when it comes to securing the North: most trust is placed in the army and police (72 % of the IDPs and 66 % of the returnees) while little to no trust is placed in armed rebel groups (3 % of IDPs, 1 % of returnees).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Displaced People Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "25 less cohesion.

Conclusion The 2012 crisis in northern Mali led to widespread displacement. The welfare of the displaced – and those who returned – is monitored by combining a baseline survey with structured monthly follow-up interviews carried out by mobile phone. This innovative approach allows tracking changes in welfare with high frequency – even for those who returned to areas that are insecure and inaccessible to enumerators. After 6 rounds of follow-up interviews attrition rates are very low (more than 99 % response rate), demonstrating that it is possible to collect robust and representative data from hard-to-reach, conflict-affected populations. The results show that those who fled were better educated, better off and less affected by violence than the average population in the North. Those who fled lost significant amounts of durable goods (20-60 %) and livestock (50-90 %); many of their children ended up being taken out of school and their welfare (measured subjectively and by the number of meals consumed) declined considerably. Over time, the impact of the crisis on welfare has lessened and by February 2015 the majority of eligible children of the displaced were going to school and levels of employment and number of meals consumed were at pre-crisis levels.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Listening to Displaced People Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "2 International migration — the movement of people across national borders — has important economic, social, and political implications. Despite the recent emergence of a dynamic literature, empirical analysis of migration flows and their impact lags behind the policy debate and the theoretical literature. The main reason is the absence of comprehensive and reliable data on international migration patterns and migrant characteristics at either the aggregate or the household level. The objective of this article is to use data from more than one thousand national censuses and population registers to estimate a complete global origin – destination migration matrix for each decade over 1960 – 2000. These 226 * 226 matrices, comprising every country, major territory, and dependency around the world, are divided into periods corresponding to the last five completed census rounds. The gender dimension of international migration over this period is also presented. The primary source of the raw data is the United Nations Population Division ‘ s Global Migration Database, created through the collaboration of the United Nations Population Division, the United Nations Statistics Division, the World Bank, and the University of Sussex (United Nations [2008]).

There is considerable variation, however, in how destination countries collect, record, and disseminate immigration data. Meaningful comparison of destination country records over time is thus often confounded. In constructing global bilateral migration matrices, several challenges arise. First, destination countries typically classify migrants in different ways — by place of birth, citizenship, duration of stay, or type of visa. Using different criteria for a global dataset generates discrepancies in the data. Second, many geopolitical changes occurred between 1960 and 2000, with many international borders redrawn as new countries emerged and others disappeared. In addition to creating millions of migrants overnight — as when the Soviet Union collapsed — these events complicate the tracking of migrants over time. Third, even when national censuses of destination countries include data on international migrant stocks, the data are presented along aggregate geographic categories rather than by country of origin. Data therefore need to be disaggregated to the country level. Finally, the greatest hurdle is dealing with omitted or missing census data. Very few destination countries — especially developing countries — have conducted rigorous censuses or population registers during every census round over the second half of the twentieth century. Wars, civil strife, lack of funding, and political intransigence are but a few reasons why records may be discontinuous. 1 Of the 3, 500 sources detailed in the overarching UN Global Migration Database, 1, 107 were suitable for analysis, once repeated censuses had been removed or combined.

The starting point is a master set of 226 origin or destination countries and regions. Despite border changes, all migrants are assigned to this master set so that migrations can be meaningfully tracked over time. These assignments, especially in cases where only aggregate data are available, are made using several alternative propensity measures based either on a destination country ‘ s propensity to accept international migrants or on an origin country ‘ s propensity to send migrants abroad. Cases of omitted data occur when destination countries do not collect or publicly disseminate the information on migrants. When data from census rounds are missing altogether, the approach taken depends on the extent of the omission (see appendices 3 and 4). When sufficient data are available for other decades, interpolation is used. When not enough data are available, propensity measures are used to generate bilateral data. When a gender breakdown is missing, gender splits are calculated based on supplementary statistics or other data in the matrices (see appendix 5).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The resulting migration matrices should be viewed as work in progress, but they are an important step in an ongoing global effort to improve migration data.

Bilateral datasets of international migration are rare. Attempts to create them have focused almost exclusively on industrialized countries as destinations because these countries have more accurate and more frequently produced data. Harrison and others (2003) calculate bilateral remittances for the countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) together with the 27 largest nonmembers. These estimates are based on international bilateral migrant stock data that the authors also provide, although many of the data are derived from the Trends in International Migration (OECD 2002). This report, published annually since 1973, was arguably the most comprehensive guide to international migration for many years and has been the basis for many studies (see, for example, Mayda 2007).

Where both censuses and population registers are available, censuses receive priority. Censuses, generally conducted decennially, are retrospective tools for surveying an entire population (or in some cases, a representative sample) at a single point in time. In addition to their universal coverage, their greatest strength is the inclusion of questions on place of birth and nationality. Censuses also typically aim to enumerate the resident population, whether documented or undocumented (Bilsborrow and others 1997). So although some migrants have a strong incentive to provide false information to enumerators, many undocumented migrants will be captured in these matrices. 7 The size and scope of the census questionnaires vary enormously, both over time and in different destination countries. And there is potential variation in the quality of censuses both across countries and over time. Richer countries have many resources at their disposal to design questionnaires, train interviewers, employ statisticians, and disseminate results. Researchers have little choice but to accept the data at face value. However, where the underlying census is clearly substandard (when there are errors that are obviously not coding errors or not easily corrected), these data are omitted from the analysis.

Compiling and maintaining the underlying primary sources require herculean efforts to scour the key census collections of the world and enter the data manually.

Material from the German 2005 micro-census was therefore used to supplement the data for Germany (see appendix 3). In the case of Korea, data by nationality are readily available for each census round. However, these data fail to account for the large numbers of migrants from the People ‘ s Democratic Republic of Korea living in the Republic of Korea.

Some census questionnaires ask for a specific country of birth and others simply ask for a general geographic region, such as Africa. Even if the original questionnaire asked detailed questions, some countries disseminate data only on how many residents were born abroad or have foreign citizenship. In general, three types of migrant origin are observed in the disseminated census data:  Specific geographic regions: Some of these correspond to exactly one of the 226 countries and territories in the master list. Others pertain to localities that tend to be obscure territories, islands, or regions, such as the Isle of Man or Ceuta.  Aggregate geographic regions: These correspond to two or more countries or territories in the master list. They can be continents (such as Africa), parts of continents (such as South Asia), political alliances (European Union), or other classifications (such as Other Ex-French Africa; Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco; and Melanesia). The data for these aggregate regions need to be allocated to the 226 countries in the master list. The details of the procedures are discussed below.  Miscellaneous categories: These include refugees, stateless, and born at sea. There are generally no geographic correspondences for these. Thousands of geographic regions and categories emerged from the more than one thousand individual destination country sources chosen for the analysis. The vast majority of these are repetitions that refer to identical geographic locations using different 14 The United Nations (1998) has developed recommendations aimed at promoting standardized recording practices across countries.

An important contribution of the current work is in estimating the gender breakdown of all migrants in destination countries in the global migration matrices. Similar to the allocation from aggregated categories in the Global Migration Database to specific origins in the master list, two measures are used for calculating gender splits; they are described in appendix 5. Combining Migrant Definitions Only a single definition of a migrant (foreign born or foreign citizen) can be applied to each destination country in the final matrices. Switching definitions over time 17 The subregions used for the disaggregations are the 21 UN regions (see http: / / unstats. un. org / unsd / methods / m49 / m49regin. htm, with the countries of Oceania aggregated into a single subregion.

Since these categories together constitute around 45 percent of migrants in each census round, the original bilateral portion of each cell was compared with the final number assigned to them after the various calculations as a check on accuracy. For each decade, therefore, the overall percentage contribution of the raw bilateral data to the total is calculated (table 6). 23 In each census round, at least 92 percent of all those categories are derived from the raw data. { Table 6 here} Simulating Missing Data Finally, to examine the reliability of the estimated missing census data and test the methodologies, several scenarios are assumed.

The analysis subtracts the estimated number of refugees from the total mid-year estimates of the world migrant stock from the Trends in International Migrant Stock database to yield the net number of migrants in each decade. These numbers are then compared with the decadal estimates generated through this project, both the total and the net, after subtracting estimates of migrants within the Soviet Union for 1960 – 1980 (data for 1990 and 2000 should be directly comparable) and the number of ethnic German migrants added to the German censuses. { Table 8 here} The aggregate estimates are remarkably close (the two net totals), differing at most by around 1 million migrants, except in 1990. There are several possible explanations for these differences. First, the census totals from the current work may not match because censuses do not always make allowances for temporary workers. For example, Singapore ‘ s official 2000 census records 563, 430 foreign-born migrants. The United Nations, however, reports 1, 351, 806 foreign-born migrants for 2000.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Trends in International Migrant Stock database"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["decadal estimates"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Second, there are cases where the current study reports data by nationality, but the corresponding figure in the Trends in International Migrant Stock refers to the foreign born. This situation generally arises when a census does not report the number of foreign-born migrants on a bilateral basis. Examples include Austria and Côte d ‘ Ivoire. Third, differences in the years to which the data refer can generate large disparities. For example, this study uses the 1966 data for Australia, whereas Trends in International Migrant Stock reports data for 1970. Overall, however, the fact that the totals are remarkably close in every decade adds credence to the estimates here. IV. THE EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL BILATERAL MIGRATION The greatest strengths of the global migration matrices are their bilateral coverage, the number of decades covered, and the disaggregation by gender. These data are too rich for a full analysis of all movements between all pairs of countries. Instead, this section summarizes the major trends in the evolution of bilateral migrant stocks, based primarily on World Bank regions. 25 Global Trends The migration matrix for the 1960 census round reflects a realigning world in the postcolonial era.

We combine a unique dataset on refugee camps with individual data from the Afrobarometer Surveys across 23 African countries for the 2005 — 2016 period. We construct two standard measures of ethnic diversity: indices of ethnic fractionalization (EF) and ethnic polarization (EP). Ethnic fractionalization measures the probability that two individuals drawn from the society at random will belong to two different ethnic groups and thus increases with the number of ethnic groups present. Ethnic polarization captures antagonism between individuals and is maximized when the society is divided into two equally sized and distant ethnic groups. Although these indices have been widely used, little variation over time has been found, making causal inference difficult. The innovative aspect of our analysis is that we use data on the precise locations of refugee camps, their yearly size, and — most importantly — their annual composition in terms of countries of origin. Combined with the Ethnic Power Relations- Ethnicity of Refugees 2019 dataset, we are able to predict changes in ethnic diversity induced by refugee inflows. We then assess the relationship between refugee diversity and the likelihood of conflict. In an additional analysis, we also assess how refugee-induced changes in diversity affect the incidence of theft and violence, participation in protests, and perceptions of ethnic attachment, inter-personal trust, and institutional trust.

To minimize the risk of confounding the refugee-induced changes in diversity with the annual changes in refugee numbers, we also control for the presence of refugees based on the same buffer as the one used to construct the refugee-induced change in diversity. More specifically, the variable Refugeesjt − 1 counts the number of refugees present in cluster j at year t − 1 within the predefined buffer. The variable is also transformed into an inverse hyperbolic sine to ease interpretation. Finally, Qjt controls for yearly shocks at the cluster level, such as weather shocks. In particular, we control for rain and temperature anomalies. Standard errors are clustered at the Afrobarometer cluster level. 4. 2 Data and descriptive statistics Our analysis combines various sources of data: Afrobarometer, UNHCR refugee camp data, Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), Uppsala Conflict Data (UCDP), and the Ethnic Power Relations- Ethnicity of Refugees (EPR-ER) 2019 dataset.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Armed Conflict Location and Event Data", "Uppsala Conflict Data"], "descriptive_data": ["UNHCR refugee camp data"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Using Afrobarometer ’ s geocoded surveys, we focus on clusters as our unit of observation. 10 Our sample consists of 7, 547 such locations and 76, 518 individuals in 23 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. “ The sampling universe normally includes all citizens age 18 and older.

This choice of buffer size assures us that between 75 percent and virtually all refugee camps fall within a cluster buffer. Other studies relying on Afrobarometer data construct buffers ranging from 25 km (e. g., Michaelopoulos and Papaioannou (2011), investigating ethnic-specific pre-colonial institutional structures) to 100 km (e. g., McGuirk and Burke (2020a), analyzing the impact of food-price shocks on conflict). 10Afrobarometer is a pan-African research network conducting public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, the economy, and society in African countries that are repeated on a regular basis (Afrobarometer, 2020). 10", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "area probability sample.

As described in Table B. 1, we also incorporate information on the quality of our refugee data, which is determined by comparison with official UNHCR bilateral data. Below we describe how these data have been used to define our main variables of interest and present some descriptive statistics in Table B. 2. 11 Conflict. In Equation 1, we first relate variation in ethnic diversity with data on conflict from ACLED (Linke et al., 2010). Two main definitions are used: the incidence of conflict and the intensity of conflict. Incidence is captured by an indicator equal to one if conflict occurred in a particular year within a pre-defined buffer around cluster j. Intensity is measured by summing the number of conflict events occurring in a particular year within the same buffer area. A conflict event is defined as a single altercation wherein force is used by one or more groups for a political end (Linke et al., 2010). We further describe events (non-exclusively) as violent events, non-violent events, violence against civilians, and riots. In our main analysis, we focus on violent conflicts (Section 5. 1) and report results for other outcomes as robustness tests (Section 5. 3). In doing so, we follow a recent and large literature that has combined the ACLED dataset with geographically disaggregated data in Africa (Besley and Reynal-Querol, 2014; Berman and Couttenier, 2015; Michaelopoulos and 11Panel A of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for the data from refugee-hosting areas specifically, whereas panel B of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for our data in all covered areas. 11", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["data on conflict from ACLED"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Papaioannou, 2016; Berman et al., 2017; Harari and Ferrara, 2018; Eberle et al., 2020; McGuirk and Burke, 2020b). As a further robustness check, we also use data on conflict incidence and intensity from the UCDP, which uses a more conservative definition of conflict. The UCDP dataset is manually curated and compiled with automated computer assistance (Sundberg and Melander, 2013). The UCDP defines an armed conflict event as “ an incident where armed force was used by an organized actor against another organized actor, or against civilians, resulting in at least one direct death at a specific location and a specific date ” (Pettersson et al., 2020). We extract daily event observations from the UCDP dataset if the location of the actual event is exactly known, the event location is within a radius of less than 25 km around a known point, or at least the administrative district where the event happened is known. As pointed out by Eberle et al. (2020), the UCDP events are more likely to capture violence between large-scale and more structured groups. Table B. 2 shows that on average, conflict events seem to occur more in refugee-hosting areas. This is of course not a causal interpretation but a simple correlation.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["UCDP dataset"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "As can be seen from both panel A and panel B, non-violent conflicts seem to occur slightly more than violent conflicts.

To exploit the variation in ethnic diversity induced by the annual variation in refugees (and also to control for the direct effect of refugees on our outcomes), we use data on refugee camps provided by the UNHCR. The dataset contains detailed time-series information on the locations and sizes of 1, 453 refugee camps across the world and 821 refugee camps in Sub-Saharan Africa over the 2000 – 2016 period. To the best of our knowledge, the UNHCR currently provides the most comprehensive information available on refugees at the subnational level, allowing us to assess the ethnic composition of camps, which is key to our research question. First, we use the country of origin of refugees recorded for each year at the camp level to approximate the ethnic composition each camp. Second, we restrict the data on refugees to those aged 18 and above in order to make it comparable to the Afrobarometer- based individual data. Third, we only use data on refugees hosted within the boundaries of the host country. Merging data on refugee camps with the Afrobarometer, we end up with information on 172 camps 12", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["UCDP data"], "descriptive_data": ["data on refugee camps"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "that are at a maximum distance of 80 km from the 7, 547 clusters. 12 Figure 1 shows the locations of these refugee camps and clusters.

This makes the task of treating, combining, and analyzing ethnicities extremely daunting as it requires substantial back- ground knowledge on hundreds of ethnicities and a manual treatment would inevitably lead to incon- sistencies, errors of manipulation, and / or subjective choices.

The predicted (and plausibly exogenous) number of refugees by ethnic group e is then used to create other (plausibly exogenous) diversity indices to be used as instrumental variables.

Since similar ethnic groups are likely to share common borders (Michaelopoulos and Papaioannou, 2016), it is not impossible to think conflict might spill over through this channel. 19", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["EPR-ER data", "Murdock Atlas", "EPR-ER"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "REFodet = αod + γe + τt + β1Conflictot − 1 + β2Conflictet − 1 + β3Distanceed + ϵodet, (5) where REFodet is the stock of refugees of ethnic group e from country o in country d at year t.

Ideally, we would have liked to construct our local diversity indices based on census data. However, such data are not available on an annual basis and only a minority of African countries include ethnicity questions on their censuses (Robinson, 2017).

In theory, this should make it more difficult to observe the true relationship between ethnic diversity and some outcomes at the local level. Diversity indices are more likely to be measured with noise in highly diverse communities at the local level. We nonetheless argue that such a concern should not be overestimated, for three reasons. First, such noise cannot easily explain the contrast between the coefficients corresponding to the pre-revised and revised indices and the opposite results found for the revised refugee fractionalization and the revised polarization. This set of results can be explained by the fact that our identification comes from the annual changes in refugees flows. Second, the IV approach is likely to deal with the measurement errors if they are correlated with our main variables of interest. Our IV estimates therefore capture a local average treatment effect coming from the plausibly exogenous increase in annual refugee flows of particular ethnic groups. The similarity of the IV results to the OLS results supports this interpretation. Third, at the cost of introducing attenuation bias30, we also aggregate the number of conflict events at the regional level. Lines B and C of Table 7 confirm the negative and positive effects found for the revised fractionalization and polarization indexes, respectively, whether or not 30Another risk highlighted by Robinson (2017) is the fact that ethnic diversity may also capture different theoretical mechanisms at aggregated levels. 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["Afrobarometer sample data"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "of the groups and the distances between them.

For a country that has never experienced such a large-scale, sudden inflow of foreigners, demographic changes in the composition of the population and labor force will yield unprecedented implications. This paper examines, as data allows, the relationship between the size of the foreign-born population and host community poverty rates in Turkey. First, this paper finds the poverty rates of ‘ recent migrants ’ near the Syrian border (NSB) significantly increased from 2009 to 2013. Second, the number of foreign-born households being captured by the Labor Force Survey (LFS) is expanding, which suggests a growing number of foreign households that are likely to be Syrians. Third, with respect to poverty, the results show no negative impacts on the host community as a result of the increasing size of the foreign-born population.

By country of origin, the displacement of Syrians is one of the largest in recent history. As a result of the civil war that began in 2011, Syrians started to leave their homes and look for safety in neighboring countries across the region. By November 2015, about 4. 3 million Syrians were seeking refuge in primarily Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and the Arab Republic of Egypt. 3 The only other time in the last half century that the world experienced a larger group of refugees from a single country is the case of Afghan refugees during the 1980s to 1990s. Refugee displacements of this size are rare. Consequently, they are not well studied and their impacts are not well understood.

Many conclusions from the traditional literature on the study of immigrants ’ impact on natives cannot be applied to the case of Syrians in Turkey. There are many differences between the inflow of Syrians and other flows of extended family and economic immigrants. First, the sheer volume of Syrian refugees and the short time- frame in which they entered Turkey is unprecedented. For the case of Syrians in Turkey, or displaced populations in general, large movements of refugees are not restricted due to humanitarian reasons. Second, formal immigration processes are controlled, limited, and regulated by destination countries. Therefore, results from literature on “ immigrants ” are very different than a focus on displaced or refugee populations. Recent literature on the labor market effects of SUTPs estimates negative impacts on host community employment rates.

Using synthetic modelling methods, Ozturkler and Goksel (2015) estimate the impact of Syrian refugees on local prices, wages, inflation, and services in 10 cities with large refugee populations. Some of the salient negative effects have been increases in rental prices, increases in inflation at border cities, illegal hiring by small business, and decreases in wages. However, in some cities (Gaziantep, Adana, Kahramanmaras, and Mardin), the presence of refugees has improved the trade balance, and economic activity in these areas are projected to increase as economic integration with MENA deepens.

The latter is used as a proxy for Syrian refugees for the purposes of this paper. National official surveys that are conducted under-report the refugee population. Yet, since about 10 percent of Syrian refugees are in camps and the remaining are residing throughout the country, it is not surprising that they are accessible to interviews by the LFS.

As other authors have stated, the influx of SUTPs has had both positive and negative impacts. It seems on average, the host community has been strong and adaptive, and not negatively impacted.

DATA AND TECHNICAL ISSUES Data Sets Data availability limits which data set can be used to identify the foreign-born population and geographic location while measuring poverty. The Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) has been conducting three nationally representative surveys annually since 2005; the Household Income and Consumption Expenditure Survey (HICES), the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) and the Labor Force Survey (LFS). However the HICES, which is the national survey that is used to measure official poverty, 5 UNCHR, 2013pg 13 6 UNHCR (22 November 2013), UNHCR (15 September 2014) 7 UNHCR (22 March 2013), Erdogan (2014), pg 14 8 This technical issue will be discussed further later in the paper.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["HICES", "Survey on Income and Living Conditions", "Household Income and Consumption Expenditure Survey", "Labor Force Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "5 does not have migration or geographic identifiers. The SILC contains geographic identifying variables, (at the NUTS1 level) but still lacks migration variables. The data set this study uses is the Labor Force Survey (LFS) since there is an adequate availability of both migration and geographic variables. The LFS is representative at the NUTS2 level which corresponds to 26 regions in Turkey. One caveat is that income in the LFS refers to only wage income from employment, 9 and is an insufficient measure of income that should be used for welfare measurement. For example, important sources of income such as social assistance, asset liquidation, or remittances are missing. Therefore, income in the LFS is imputed with a few assumptions using information from the SILC. The NUTS1 spatial effects of the SILC are a good proxy for NUTS2 welfare dynamics in the LFS which increases the accuracy of the imputation model. However, since the original sample frame of the LFS does not account for the recent influx of foreign migrants in Turkey, the labor market characteristics of recent migrants might not be representative of the actual SUTP population. Therefore, results of the imputation could be interpreted as upper bound estimates for recent migrants.

Principally, there is a low number of sample points that are migrant households. Moreover, the study cannot identify migrant households and individuals that are specifically Syrian refugees. Foreign migrants are defined as those who were born abroad and have lived abroad for at least more than 12 months. Some Turkish-born households have also lived abroad for over a year, and these individuals are not considered to be migrants. Amongst foreign-born individuals, only the ones who have been in the country for more than 12 months are included in the sample which underrepresents the actual number of foreign migrants in the region. In addition, no specific procedure is adopted by the enumerators if the household does not speak Turkish. Given that a majority of Syrian refugees do not speak Turkish, the language barrier might result in the removal of Syrian households from the sample. Finally, refugee camps are not included in the sample frame, which limits the study to only examining recent migrants who do not live in refugee camps. 9 Wage income is only available for regular and casual employees in the LFS which accounts for around 60 % of total employment.

ANALYSIS Has the increase in Syrian refugees impacted the welfare and socioeconomic conditions of the host community? Summary statistics in the previous section showed clear trends of increasing poverty among recent migrants throughout the country, both near the Syrian border and across rest of the country. While the poverty rates of recent migrant households spiked in 2013, poverty of host community households maintained a relatively constant level in the whole country. From these trends, it appears that there at least has not been an increasing trend in poverty among the host community over the latest years. The empirical model is shown in Equation 1. Regressions are estimated at the NUTS2-year level and using data from only the years 2011 and 2013. The dependent variable of interest is the host community poverty rate by region and year, where the poverty rate is based on spatially deflated imputed household income. Unlike the computation of the poverty rates, “ recent migrant ” information is not used for the analysis. Only the host community poverty rates are calculated using the LFS and the number of Syrians are taken from government sources.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["LFS"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "17 in 2014.

CONCLUSION The movement of Syrian refugees is one of the largest passages of refugee populations in recent history. With millions of people leaving Syria and settling in Turkey, concerns about externalities onto the native population are very salient. This paper addressed the poverty impacts of SUTPs on the host communities and found no evidence that the increase in foreign-born population from 2011 to 2013 resulted in higher poverty rates among the host community. As recent literature has noted, the SUTPs have both positive and negative impacts. While some types of people may be more likely to be displaced by Syrians in the labor market, Syrians are consumers and renters, they also open businesses and create jobs. Local Turkish citizens have also benefited as employers and sellers. In some border cities, the balance of trade has improved as exports to the Middle East increased. On the other hand, analysis of only the recent migrants clearly demonstrates that the group ’ s poverty profile is worsening between 2009 and 2013.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Moreover, descriptive characteristics suggest that their conditions might have worsened in 2014.

Especially with an increasing rate of SUTP migration to Turkey during 2014 and 2015 and the continued conflict in the region, the inflow of Syrians will be one of the most critical short, medium, and possibly long term policy issues in the country. In addition, Turkey ’ s role as a pathway to Europe for those escaping conflict in the Middle East makes the issue an international phenomenon. In this respect, the healthy incorporation of SUTPs that will protect the wellbeing of host communities while satisfying the humanitarian necessity of helping Syrians will be among the more important development issues of today and the foreseeable future.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "34 Any statistics on the imputed welfare will based on the set of imputed welfares for each household.

In Ghana, the government linked increases in the VAT rate explicitly to the new public spending programs, such as the Ghana Education Trust (GET) Fund in 2002 and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2003 which enjoyed broad public support. The government used strategic communication to make this link in order to avoid major public protests, such as the Kume Preko protests that greeted the introduction of the VAT in 1995 and left several people dead (Osei, 2000; Prichard, July 2009). Similarly, Ghana ’ s government linked the introduction of a talk tax on mobile phone calls to efforts to combat youth unemployment, which helped to curb public opposition (Prichard, July 2009). 3. 1 Is donor and non-state actor service provision likely to undermine the fiscal contract?

Africa is an especially good place to examine these issues because of the large amount of variation both within and across African countries in the extent to which non-state actors, donors and other states are active in service provision and the extent to which governments are relatively effective and fair. Government responsiveness, corruption and reliance on non-public resources vary considerably among localities with consequences for citizen understanding of and relationship to government (Gibson and Hoffman, 2005).

A question prob- ing respondents on their household income was not included in the fourth round of Afrobarometer surveys. Asking respondents to quantify their in- come can be problematic in the context of developing economies, where in- dividuals are often embedded in barter or commodity exchange, rather than, market economies. There are, however, reasonably good proxies including whether respondents own a television, radio, car, and mobile phone, and use the internet. Age, education, employment, and urban or rural residence are demographic factors that also affect household resources. 6. 2. 2 Experience with Paying Taxes or Fees It is difficult to assess just how ubiquitous taxes are in ordinary Africans ’ lives.

We do know there are taxes on agricultural crops, but the rates and processes of collection vary within countries (Kasara, 2007).

Introduction The most common sampling approach for cross-sectional household surveys in the developing world is a stratified two-stage design (Grosh and Munoz, 1996). Following stratification based on administrative boundaries, clusters are selected in the first stage with probability proportional to size from a national census-based frame. In the second stage, a canvassing operation is conducted in the selected clusters to compile an updated list from which households are randomly selected. While this methodology is straight forward to implement in the field and reliably produces unbiased estimates, there are several downsides. The first downside is cost. The World Bank ’ s Living Standards Measurement Study team, which provides technical assistance on large-scale household surveys around the world, estimates the field listing operation increases the overall budget for data collection by 25 percent. Due to confidentiality concerns, the data collected during a field listing operation, typically the name of the household head and address or location description of dwellings, does not have any analytical applications beyond as a component of the weight calculations. 2 At a time when typical survey costs are in the USD millions, reducing a significant cost component will increase the financial sustainability of data collection. The second drawback to the traditional design relates to timeliness.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Living Standards Measurement Study"], "descriptive_data": ["national census-based frame"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "3 five methods, it was not possible to consider non-sampling error. This paper goes a step further by using simulations to describe the sampling error and a field experiment in an IDP camp in South Sudan to measure the total survey error of each design compared to a census, allowing for the disaggregation of the total error into sampling and non-sampling components. In addition, we attempt to separate the components of non-sampling error linked to the sample method from those common across all methods, such as interviewers selecting larger households and other issues in properly implementing the household survey protocols. The next section briefly describes each method and highlights the literature as it relates to the relevant selection methods. Section 3 describes the data set and protocols for each method included in the experiment, followed by Section 4, which discusses implementation issues. Section 5 reports the results of the analysis, and section 6 concludes with further discussion of the overall performance and areas for future research. 2.

(2020) introduces a sampling design based on gridded population estimates as their sampling frame to implement a PPS design and derive sample size estimates for the number of grid cells. Assuming the grid square method is applied to the area itself rather than a selected PSU, the weights for the grid method are similar to those for segmentation, where the cells are the PSUs, but without the additional step of selecting segments.

Probabilities of selection inherently cannot be calculated in a random walk sample design as no information is collected on how many structures are in the camp, or how likely it was that a given structure was the xth structure along any path. Random walk must then assume all structures have the same selection probability, implying constant sampling weights.

To generate a gold standard as the basis of comparison, a household census was conducted between August and September 2017.

Once scanned, the barcodes created an observation in the method-specific dataset with the information captured in the census. Each sampling technique targeted about 322 interviews so that comparisons could be made between the methods using an identical sample size. There was, however, some non-response for each method if interviewers were not able to contact a household member who could provide access to the barcode, if the barcode had not been retained by the household, or if the barcode was not scanned correctly. Protocols for each individual method are listed below.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "9 3. 5. North Method The North Method uses RSPs to determine the selected households. RSPs are chosen from the universe of all possible points with the boundaries of the PoC camp. To implement the North Method, 322 RSPs along with replacement RSPs were chosen. These points were random geo-coordinates within camp borders (Figure 5). If the RSP lay within a structure, the corresponding structure was selected. If not, starting at the selected RSP, enumerators walked directly north, using the compass application on their tablet, until a structure was encountered. If the structure was residential, the structure was chosen to be interviewed. In the case of multiple households present in the structure, one household was randomly chosen. If the structure was not residential or if the enumerator reached the boundary of the camp, a replacement RSP was used. As it would be extremely difficult to determine the area of the shadow in the field, satellite imagery is used for these calculations. In the case of this experiment, the selection areas are calculated using Google Earth imagery taken on December 22, 2017, approximately one month after the census of households in the PoC camp. Given the dependence of the North Method on having current satellite imagery for accurate calculations, the availability of this imagery is a major consideration for this method.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The weights would be over-estimated if new structures had been built in the shadow since the imagery was taken. 3. 6. Random Walk Random Walk obtains a sample by randomly selecting starting points for enumerators with generic but unambiguous instructions to select households at regular intervals on their path. For this experiment, enumerators conducted random walks using 21 RSPs (Figure 8). Starting as near as possible to the RSP, the supervisor chose any random point (like a street corner or a school). From this point, four enumerators walked each in one of the four cardinal directions. Walking in their designated direction away from the RSP, they counted structures on both the right and the left and each selected the fifth structure for interview. Enumerators were instructed to start with the buildings on the right if two buildings were opposite to each other. To select the next structure, enumerators continued along the cardinal path, and selected the next fifth structure. If the enumerator could not proceed on its cardinal path because she had reached the boundary of the PoC camp, enumerators were instructed to turn right at a 90-degree angle and continue counting until finding the fifth dwelling. Enumerators had to conduct six interviews along their paths. 4. Implementation Issues 4. 1. Failure to Follow Survey Protocols As noted above, even if field protocols are perfectly implemented, the estimates generated from Random Walk designs are likely to be biased. Enumerators furthermore often were unable or unwilling to follow the protocols. Streets and paths were not necessarily aligned with cardinal directions and obstacles further impeded the ability to follow a straight path. Additionally, since the selection method requires enumerator judgment, it is not replicable and therefore allows enumerators greater discretion to choose which households are “ selected. ” Figure 9 shows the paths taken by two teams of enumerators from", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "16 implementation matters.

In conclusion and in line with the literature, most probability-based methods perform better than non-probability methods like random walk. In addition, implementation of adherence with the survey protocol is extremely important and using appropriate methods and tools to cope with this challenge is absolutely mandatory for coming as close as possible to the theoretical results derived by the simulation for the probability-based methods.

Appendix 7. 1. Simulation and Frame To compare the efficiency of the different sampling frames and designs, we will apply an empirical sampling simulation. In this type of (Monte-Carlo style) simulation, either a true or synthetic population is used as the target population. By applying a specific sampling design, and repeated sampling (usually 1, 000 repetitions) under this design, we can compare the resulting population estimates with the known true population values for each run of the simulation. The resulting distribution of these estimates is called the sampling distribution, and the average squared deviation from the underlying population value is the Mean Squared Error (MSE) or when taking its square root, the Root MSE (RMSE). To facilitate the comparison, we use the relative version expressed in percentage deviation. Empirical sampling simulations can be considered as the “ […] ultimate tool for investigators who want to know if one sampling strategy will work better than another for their population. ” (Thompson, 2012).

Introduction We are in the midst of protracted refugee crises. According to the latest UNHCR trends report, at the end of 2020, 76 percent of refugees globally (15. 7 million) were in a protracted situation (UNHCR 2021). 2 Most refugees reside in low-income countries, and more than eight of every 10 refugees (86 percent) live in countries within territories affected by acute food insecurity and malnutrition (UNHCR 2021a). Refugee receiving host communities also tend to be poor, experience precarious livelihood conditions and face many socio-economic challenges, such as low economic status, poor access to public services, and infrastructural development. For these communities, refugees might bring both challenges and benefits. On the one hand, refugees increase competition for natural resources (e. g., wood for energy, construction, land), public services and infrastructure (e. g., education, health, water supply), and economic opportunities (e. g., traditional livelihoods, labor employment). Refugee inflow may also affect the local market by mainly depressing wages and raising product prices (Vemuru et al. 2020).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "We measure livelihood diversification using two main variables: the degree of diversification of activities as a primary occupation and the degree of diversification of activities as a secondary occupation. 3 The degree of agricultural commercialization is also measured using two variables: the value from the sale of crop and livestock products. We measure refugee inflow (presence) as the number of refugees (population) in the nearest refugee camp to the household location weighted by the household's inverted distance to the camp. The impact of refugee inflow on household livelihood strategies can be causal if there are no confounding factors that affect livelihoods in host communities when refugee inflow changes. This is unlikely as refugee flow and the location of refugee camps are not random (see e. g., Baez 2011). Refugee camps are often situated close to international borders, among others, to allow for easy repatriation of the refugees when stability is restored in their countries of origin. In addition, refugees often seek shelter in the nearest refugee camp once they arrive in the host country, which is arguably true in most hosting countries as refugees often travel on foot for 2 According to UNHCR, a protracted refugee situation is a situation in which at least 25, 000 refugees from the same nationality have been in exile for at least five years in a given host country. 3 Diversification of activities is calculated using the inverse Simpson diversity index.

Hence, to identify the causal impact of refugee inflow on livelihood diversification and commercialization, we employ a two-stage least squares (2SLS) econometric specification strategy using potential refugee inflow as an instrument. Potential refugee inflow is constructed as the product of population density and intensity of conflicts (number of fatalities per event) in the closest region of the origin country to the refugee camp weighted by the inverted distance of the refugee camp to the closest region4 (i. e., the shortest distance to the border between the refugee camp and the bordering country of origin). Similar (weighted) instruments have been used in the literature (e. g., Baez 2011; Fallah et al. 2019) and proved to be an appropriate instrument to study the socio-economic impact of refugees on host communities. Livelihood diversification and agricultural commercialization are the two main common strategies that people in low-income countries adopt to improve or maintain their livelihood and welfare. Given the prevailing under-developed insurance market in the event of shocks, households tend to pursue several income generating activities. However, potential barriers such as low asset endowment hinder households'successful livelihood diversification (Ellis 2000; Martin and Lorenzen 2016; Loison 2015).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Specifically, a 1 percent increase of the refugees ’ presence5 leads to a 2. 7 and 15. 9 percent increase in the diversification of livelihood activities as a secondary occupation and value of livestock product sale, respectively.

This has changed after 2019 because of the revised Ethiopian Refugee Law. These effects tend to be heterogeneous across regions and to a limited extent, vary depending on the gender of the household head. The negative effects tend to be concentrated in Gambella, a region that hosts most of the refugee population in Ethiopia and where the refugee population is as large as the population of the region.

An often ‐ noted drawback of the headship variable is that female headship may reflect the enumerators ’ perception about who should be considered a family head rather than who has the most responsibility for the family ’ s welfare in practice. 7 Social norms can also affect whether female respondents self ‐ identify as household heads. For example, some Eritrean returnees who would in other cultural settings be regarded as de jure female headed (single mothers, widows, divorcees, separated women) reported being male ‐ headed. Other Eritrean female returnees who would be considered de facto heads reported headship by absent husbands or male relatives (Kibreab, 2003).

The Challenges of Protracted Refugee Situations in Sub ‐ Saharan Africa At the global level, about 54 % (i. e. about 6. 3 million) refugees were in protracted refugee situation by the end of 2013 (UNHCR 2014). 2 As reported by Kreibaum (2016), the number of protracted refugee situations has increased from 22 in 1990 to 30 in 2008. These protracted situations in Africa have been characterized by Crisp (2003) as in most of the cases: i) peripherally located with poor security, unfavorable climatic conditions, and economical and political marginalized; ii) concentrating people with special needs like e. g. children and women (see Section 3); and iii) lacking basic human rights, including those covered by the provision of the 1951 refugee convention. Another distinct feature of refugees in SSA is that they are mostly hosted in organized camps. While in developing countries around one third of refugees are hosted in camps, the share raises to about 40 percent in Sub ‐ Saharan Africa (Figure 5). 3 The percentage of 76 percent in Eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa stresses again the pressing situation in this part of the world.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "While camps have been recognized as posing serious challenges (Jacobsen and Crisp 1998), it is quite striking to observe that this organizational feature is not as spread in other regions of the world as in SSA.

Such figures are based on the most recent year available (2013) and may change significantly following the large inflows of Syrian refugees into Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey. Nonetheless, the differences are sufficiently striking to believe that this is a distinct feature of refugee hosting in SSA. 2 UNHCR defines a protracted refugee situation as “ one in which 25, 000 or more refugees of the same nationality have been in exile for five years or longer in a given asylum country ” (2012: 23). 3 The figures are based on refugees (including those in refugee ‐ like situation). Persons in refugee ‐ like situations include “ groups of persons who are outside their country or territory of origin and who face protection risks similar to refugees but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained ” (UNHCR 2014: 39).

Refugees as Agents of Their Own Destiny 3. 1 The Composition of Africa ’ s Refugee Population and Its Consequences One of the first elements that catch the eye in Figure 6 is the difference in the composition of the refugee population in Africa compared to the rest of the world. The share of children and women among refugees is higher in Africa than elsewhere, in particular East and West Africa stand out here. This is, at least partly, a consequence of Africa ’ s younger, general population, but other forces could be at work as well, e. g. higher mortality of adult males in Africa or adult males staying behind or being separated from the rest of the household. It does mean however that, relative to other areas, more attention should be going to the needs and capacities of women and children in Africa. This means, for example, adaption of and increased supply of schooling and health services. Figure 6. The composition of refugees by age and gender, 2013 Source: Note: UNHCR statistics (UNHCR 2014).

The Danish Epidemiology Science Centre (1999) found severe malnutrition and high mortality in a survey of 422 refugee children in Guinea ‐ Bissau. They report higher malnutrition and higher mortality for children living in a non ‐ camp setting, compared to children living in a camp. The Goma epidemiology group (1995) found high prevalence of child mortality as well as acute malnutrition among children in refugee camps in Eastern Zaire, especially in female headed households. The magnitude of the difference between ‘ normal ’ mortality in the country under study, in the absence of conflict and the mortality in a refugee camp, depends on several parameters: the health infrastructure in the country as well as in the camp, the food available to camp and non ‐ camp residents, the frequency of visits by nurses or doctors, the intensity of the conflict (e. g. attacks on camps), and so on. Thus, the results are highly dependent on the context. For example, Singh et al (2005) do not find a difference in under 5 mortality among refugee versus non ‐ refugee households in western Uganda and South Sudan, whereas Verwimp and Van Bavel (2005) find higher child mortality and fertility among Rwanda refugees in Congo versus Rwandan women who did not became a refugee.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["survey of 422 refugee children in Guinea ‐ Bissau"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "When general living conditions in one ’ s residence or home area are worse compared to a camp environment, e. g. because health services are available in the latter, mortality may also be lower in the camp. The strong presence of children in Africa ’ s refugee population implies that we should also look at the potential long ‐ term effects of forced displacement on survivors. Given the composition of the refugee population, such long ‐ term effects will be more important in Africa compared to elsewhere. Few studies have followed children exposed to forced displacement over a long time to directly infer the long ‐ term effects of forced displacement, in particular on health, education and labor market participation. Most studies of the long term effects of conflict use an indicator of exposure to violent conflict, but few of them have forced displacement as one of the indicators. There is however a very well established literature (see Currie and Vogl, 2013 for an overview) on the long ‐ term consequences of deprivation in early childhood which can be applied to the situation of refugees.

Half of the urban refugees and 11 % of rural refugees also have access to the Internet. 4. Refugees As a Burden? As pointed in Section 2, most refugees in SSA are hosted in neighboring countries. Most of these hosting countries are likely among the least developed countries. It has been argued that these refugees may constitute an additional burden in terms of economic development in hosting countries (Mabiso et al. 2014). UNHCR (2014: 17) implicitly recognizes that potential burden by suggesting that the ratio of the size of the country ’ s hosted refugee population to its average income level can provide a proxy measure of the burden of hosting refugees.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["survey of refugees in Uganda"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "SSA counts 13 out of the 20 countries hosting the larger number of refugees per 1 USD GDP (PPP) in the world. 4 While such figures stress that SSA hosts a fair share of the refugees in the world and underline that refugee flows are mainly a South ‐ South phenomenon, we shed doubt on this view of refugees described as a burden. We even argue in Section 6 that such representation is not conducive to the right policy framework in refugee ‐ hosting areas. 4 The other major host countries per USD GDP are all developing countries, with Pakistan (1st), Jordan (8th), Bangladesh (9th), Yemen (10th), Iran (14th), Lebanon (17th), and India (20th).

Lessons from Case Studies in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda Given the limits of cross ‐ country comparisons, we present below three short case studies on the impact of protracted refugee situations on hosting communities. These case studies were not chosen based on a systematic review but they are sufficiently close to each other to allow for comparative learning. These case studies are also those emerging from a growing literature on the quantitative assessment of the impact of refugees on hosting communities (Mabiso et al. 2014). Case Study # 1: The protracted refugee situations in Tanzania Tanzania has been known as a refugee ‐ hosting country for long due to its peaceful history and its location surrounded by conflict ‐ affected countries (Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique). The first president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, welcomed most of refugees as a sign of pan ‐ African solidarity in the post ‐ independence periods from many African nations.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["World Development Indicators"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "At least, at the time of the closure of the last camp in the region of Kagera, the aid workers from UNHCR and other organizations were aware of the challenge of the transition for the hosting population and seeks to coordinate with development actors such as the United National Develop Programs or local NGOs to support the hosting population in the district of Ngara. Nevertheless, the limited resources remained a major constraint on that effort and sheds light on the institutional constraints existing to scale up such positive efforts of coordination. Case Study # 2: The protracted refugee situations in Kenya Dealing with refugees remains a relatively novel phenomenon in Kenya. It was not until the early 1990s that Kenya witnessed massive refugee influxes from Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia (Banki 2004). Prior to that period however, Kenya had a reputation for having generous refugee policies, which allowed the successful integration of a number of refugees from Mozambique, Uganda and Rwanda (Banki 2004). However, with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of new refugees from neighboring countries during the 1990s, the responsibility for the care of the refugees shifted from the Government of Kenya ’ s (GoK) to the international community, leaving the more inclusive policies that were prevailing before 1991.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "23 The Kakuma refugee camp was established in 1992 in response to the inflow of 23, 000 Sudanese refugees (Jamal 2000).

The ongoing unrest in South Sudan is likely to exacerbate the refugee situation in the upcoming year. Moreover, the restrictions imposed by the government on refugee movement and employment makes the Kakuma population completely dependent on assistance provided by international organizations present on the field (Jamal 2000) The evidence on the impact of refugees in Kenya is quite limited. However, the Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology (NORDECO 2010) provides a detailed description, backed by sound descriptive statistics, on the impact of Dadaab refugee camps on host communities. Despite the very different structure of the local economy, mainly driven by pastoralist livelihoods, a pattern somewhat similar to the Tanzanian case is observed. According to NORDECO (2010), the aggregated economic impact is positive. It is estimated that about USD 3 million annual income accrues to the host community thanks to livestock and milk sales to the refugee camps. Trade and employment opportunities have also been reported around Dadaab camps in Kenya.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The total economic benefits, including through savings on food purchases (including through purchases from refugees), income accruing to local contractors from assignments for the United Nations or Non ‐ Governmental Organizations or support for host communities, “ using 2010 as a reference year, are [estimated to be] around USD 14 million annually. On a per capita basis this equates to around 25 % of average annual per capita income in North Eastern province ”. This estimation corresponds to a back ‐ on ‐ the ‐ envelope approximation but it gives a sense of the major benefits to the local population. Similar to the Tanzanian case, the presence of the Dadaab refugee camps is reported to have improved the provision of local public goods such as the frequency and reach of transport services and the availability of health and social services. NORDECO also observed environmental degradation around the Dadaab camps5 but spatially restricted in an area of inherently low resource value. It seems that environmental support programs have helped limiting the collection of firewood by refugees and providing alternative fuel sources (Milner and Loescher 2004). Compared to the Tanzanian case, two main differences emerge.

Second, contrary to Alix ‐ Garcia and Saah (2010) for Tanzania, “ the price of basic commodities such as maize, rice, wheat, sugar and cooking oil is [reported to be] at least 20 % lower in camps than in other towns in arid and semi ‐ arid parts of Kenya. The main reasons are the re ‐ sale of WFP [World Food Program] rations, access to free food by locals registered as refugees and illegal imports via Somalia ” (NORDECO 2010: 9). Another possible explanation reported by Maystadt and Duranton (2014) in the Tanzanian case, is the importance of transport services in pushing the price of traded goods down. Although focusing more on the urban function of the refugee camps and the social transformation underpinned in the hosting society, Jansen (2011) also reports similar trading activities and wealth 5 Nonetheless, such a degradation is acknowledged by NORDECO (2010) to be difficult to distinguish from general trend prevailing the region.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "25 contributions to the local communities. More than other studies, this analysis points to the transfer of physical and human capital by refugees as an important source of benefits for the local economies. Interestingly, Kreibaum (2016) provides a more quantitative approach to the issue by assessing the impact of an increase in the presence of Congolese refugees on the hosting population in the Southern and Western parts of Uganda. The results indicate a positive ‐ although small in magnitude ‐ impact on the hosts ’ welfare (consumption per adult equivalent) but with distributional effects. Those depending on wage income and transfers experienced a deterioration in welfare, suggesting labor substitutability with rural landless workers. That seems to constitute a commonality with the Tanzanian case study. In addition, increase in the provision of private education services are also found, which is consistent with the move to the so ‐ called self ‐ reliance strategy in Uganda (see below).

First, the three case studies underline the importance of market mechanisms. Previous literature was very much focused on the health, environmental, and security consequences of hosting refugees. These concerns still rank as first priorities when refugees cross borders.

An additional hurdle is the need for panel data to study migration and economic mobility. The costs and difficulties in re-surveying migrants mean that attrition may be relatively high for this group and may also result in the loss of some of the most relevant households to study this process (Beegle, 2000; Rosenzweig, 2003). This paper uses unique data from a region in Tanzania to address this key question: What is the impact of physical movement out of the original community on poverty and wealth? Although we do not have experimental data, the nature of our data allows us to limit the potential sources of unobserved heterogeneity considerably. Building on a detailed panel survey conducted in the early 1990s, we re- interviewed individuals in 2004, making a notable effort to track individuals who had moved. The tracking of individuals to new locations proves crucially important for assessing welfare changes among the baseline sample.

For those who moved elsewhere within the region, poverty rates drop by about 12 percentage points, and for those who moved out of the region, they drop by 23 percentage points. Had we not tracked and interviewed people who moved out of the community – a practice found in many panel surveys – we would have seriously underestimated the extent to which poverty has gone down over the past 13 years in the Kagera Region; we would have reported poverty reduction at about half of its true value. Clemens and Pritchett (2007) raise similar concerns in the context of income growth and international migration. In addition, the data would omit the part of the population with a high information content on pathways out of poverty. Still, these statistics are not evidence that moving out of the community leads to higher income growth. As noted above, we cannot observe the counterfactual: What would income growth have been for migrants had they not migrated? We exploit some unique features of these data to address concerns about unobserved heterogeneity. First, individual fixed effects regressions for movers and stayers produce a difference-in-difference estimation of the impact of physical movement, controlling for any fixed individual factors that affect consumption.

The Setting: Tanzania and Kagera, 1994-2004 In the last decade, Tanzania has experienced a period of relatively rapid growth, attributed to liberalization, a renewed trade orientation, a stable political context, and a relatively positive business climate to boost economic performance. Real GDP growth was of the order of 4. 2 % per year between 1994 and 2004, while annual population growth was around 3. 2 % in the same period (URT, 2004). There is also evidence that growth had accelerated in the last few years compared to the 1990s. However, this growth has not been sufficiently broad-based to result in rapid poverty reduction. On the basis of the available evidence, poverty rates have declined only slightly and most of the poverty reduction progress has been made in urban areas. According to the Household Budget Survey (HBS), between 1991 and 2000 / 01, poverty declined from 39 percent to 36 percent in mainland Tanzania. The decline in poverty was steep in Dar es Salaam (from 28 % to 18 %) but minimal in rural Tanzania (from 41 % to 39 %).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Household Budget Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "6 3. The Data The Kagera Health and Development Survey (KHDS) was originally conducted by the World Bank and Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), and consisted of about 915 households interviewed up to four times from fall 1991 to January 1994 (at 6-7 month intervals) (see World Bank, 2004, and http: / / www. worldbank. org / lsms /). The KHDS 1991-1994 serves as the baseline data for this paper. Initially designed to assess the impact of the health crisis linked to the HIV-AIDS epidemic in the area, it used a stratified design to ensure relative appropriate sampling families with adult mortality. Comparisons with the 1991 HBS suggest that in terms of basic welfare and other indicators, it can be used as a representative sample for this period for Kagera (results not shown but available upon request). The objective of the KHDS 2004 survey was to re-interview all individuals who were household members in any round of the KHDS 1991-1994 and who were alive at the last interview (Beegle, De Weerdt and Dercon, 2006).

Excluding households in which all previous members are deceased (17 households with 27 people), the field team managed to re-contact 93 % of the baseline households. This is an excellent rate of recontact compared to panel surveys in low-income countries and high-income countries.

On the demanded skills, a driver of trends in employment is the changing demand for soft skills (Heckman and Kautz (2012), Weidmann and Deming (2021)). However, we know relatively little about what kinds of soft skills employers value in modern entry- level jobs (Heller and Kessler, 2022). On the decision of who to hire, it is in the best interest of companies to hire based on workers productivity. However, several studies have documented the existence of labor market discrimination in a wide range of contexts (Bertrand and Duflo (2017), Neumark (2018)) and it remains unclear how discrimination operates throughout the hiring process and how the existent empirical evidence on discrimination is linked to economic theory (Bertrand and Duflo, 2017). We conducted a correspondence study in 2023 using a large online job platform to assess demand for soft skills in the context of hiring discrimination in Malaysia. Malaysia is a particularly interesting setting because it is an upper-middle-income economy, home to multiple ethnicities representing large shares of the population, and previously documented gender gaps in labor force participation and wages.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["large online job platform"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "of dependability (Heller and Kessler, 2022). In a recent study, Karpowitz et al. (2023) show how these soft skills interact with discriminatory practices. They find that assigning leadership roles to women in a classroom setting reduces gender discrimination. Similarly, Kaas and Manger (2012) use a correspondence study to show that presenting soft information, such as reference letters with information on conscientiousness and agreeableness, seems to mitigate discrimination. Second, unlike most correspondence studies, we exploit data on firm characteristics and decisions at multiple stages of the hiring process to conduct a rich heterogeneity analysis. Most studies are only able to observe if the candidate receives an interview offer. Hangartner et al. (2021) is an interesting exception, which tracks online employers ’ actions and collects information that allows them to study hiring decisions. We instead observe five stages in the hiring process: 1) if employers reject an application, 2) if they visit an applicant ’ s profile, 3) the number of visits to each profile, 4) if employers contact the candidate, and 5) if they offer an interview. These five outcomes provide a rich preview into the hiring decision.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "In addition, we observe several characteristics of the firm and job that are not typically observable to researchers, which we will use to conduct a rich heterogeneity analysis. Most importantly, we observe the number of applicants applying to a specific job, and the number of similar jobs posted on the platform. This unique data facilitates our third contribution, in which we analyze the role of labor market competition in hiring discrimination, an area which to date has not been widely explored. de Haan et al. (2017) show that discrimination against disadvantaged groups is more likely in the presence of competition of workers from a non-discriminated group than in a non-competitive scenario. Along these lines, we hypothesize that firms will discriminate less often when there is a low supply of applicants. Unlike de Haan et al. (2017), we uniquely observe quality indicators of the applicant pool, which we use to test our hypothesis that discrimination decreases when the relative quality of applicants in the pool is low. Furthermore, we exploit our unique data to test whether firms discriminate less often when there is high demand for specific job positions.

In total, 90 candidate profiles were created (3 ethnicities x 2 genders x 3 soft skills x 5 industries = 90 profiles). Each degree has 18 unique candidate profiles allowing for all possible combinations of ethnicity, gender, and emphasized soft skill.

If so, what is the extent of the response? To answer these questions, we use the soft skill signal that we randomly assigned to each profile.

We tested for ethnic discrimination, gender discrimination and the value of signaling soft skills in the labor market. Unlike many correspondence studies, the data allow us to observe different stages in the hiring process. We observe if the employer rejects an application, visits the profile of a candidate, number of times the profile is visited, if they contact them and if they offer an interview. Uniquely, we observe competition in the labor market on both the demand and supply sides. We do not find evidence of gender discrimination in the hiring process. Malaysia ’ s observed differential wages and labor force participation rates by gender do not seem to be associated with discrimination or human capital accumulation. More research is needed to determine why women in the Malaysian labor market have lower employment rates and wages. We find that Indian and Malay sounding name profiles are discriminated against in comparison to Chinese-sounding name profiles. There is discrimination along all the hiring process variables we observe. Malay and Indian candidates are 8 and 9 percentage points less likely to receive an interview offer relative to a Chinese candidate.

These measures include, inter alia, the accounting improvement of material, improvement of the inventory and delivery control, and especially a transparent planning of the deliveries, including, the posting of the received deliveries, their comparison with the planned deliveries and their certification by users within each service. It would also be desirable that in each ministry, an action plan is prepared for the implementation of these measures, on the basis of existing ones, and with target indicators as regards improvement of the arrival of the expenditure at intended destination.

Introduction After two decades of multiparty democracy, Mali was viewed as a democratic success story. The fifth presidential elections were scheduled to take place in March 2012 and another peaceful and democratic transfer of power was widely anticipated. Reality was different, however. A secessionist movement sparked by a Kel Tamasheq1 rebellion led to a political and constitutional crisis culminating in a coup d ’ état in March 2012 and an attempt to take over the country by force. The three northern regions of Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal became occupied by various rebel and Islamist factions until early 2013, when a coalition composed of the Malian Army, French troops and the ECOWAS-led African-led International Support Missions to Mali (AFISMA) recaptured the occupied areas. 2 After months of insecurity in the North and two violent attacks in Bamako, a Peace Accord was signed in May and June 2015 between the government and different actors involved in the rebellion. The Accord established a joint vision for peace and prosperity predicated on demobilization and disarmament, the devolution of authority to local governments, and the establishment of conditions for restoring stability and economic recovery in northern Mali. In spite of the Accord, the regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu remain in a state of prolonged crisis, with high levels of insecurity and weak governance.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Without army protection most parts of the North, especially Kidal remain inaccessible to those working for the central and local government. 3 Armed bandits are active and IED explosions as well as violent attacks on the MINUSMA peacekeeping forces are regular occurrences.

To our knowledge, our surveys implemented by a private survey entity, GISSE, are the only systematic and representative effort to collect data in north Mali since the crisis. They offer a unique database providing a crucial perspective that would otherwise not be reflected in academic analyses and policy level decision-making, and a perspective that is indispensable in any attempt at understanding the situation in Northern Mali. 4 Preceding the Accord on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (Accord pour la paix et la réconciliation au Mali) (hereafter, the Peace Accord) of May and June 2015, four peace accords had been signed between the government and Toureg and Arab armed groups in 1 Kel Tamasheq (those who speak Tamasheq) is synonymous for Tuareq. 2 Francis David (2013): The regional impact of the armed conflict and French intervention in Mali.

This paper also makes use of a subset of the responses obtained from that survey, particularly those from refugees in Niger (n = 80) and Mauritania (n = 100) as these sub-populations who live outside Mali ’ s borders are important stakeholders in the peace process whose opinions risk being ignored. 15 To select a household in a village or neighborhood for the baseline survey, random selection was used: the enumerator divided the locality into two parts and selected five 15 For a more elaborate description of this mobile phone survey, see: Etang Ndip, A., J.

Indeed, most of the countries analyzed show non-standard employment registers similar to those observed in the mid-1990s. The exceptions where the variation is a little more relevant are Brazil and Uruguay, where there are contractions in the incidence of the NSE of the order of 10 and 5 percentage points respectively and Mexico, where there is an increase of 5 percentage points.

The analysis of the employment profile was made based on access to social security benefits, education level, labor income and the task content performed by the workers. From the point of view of social security, we find that NSE shows a higher prevalence of informality compared with SE. For instance, the average prevalence of informality for our set of countries among NSE in the ending point of the study is 40 % while the prevalence among SE is 20 %. In this sense, a rise in the prevalence of NSE could be associated to a big set of workers without access to social security benefits. From a dynamic perspective, there is no a common trend across countries regarding the prevalence of informality among NSE workers (Figure 9). Indeed, several countries (Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, and Peru) registered a small decrease in the prevalence of informality among NSE but there is another set of countries for which the opposite is observed (Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia and Argentina).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["Household surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "It is important to note that the changes in the prevalence of informality among SE workers between the starting and ending point of the study show a very similar dynamic compared with the observed dynamic for NSE (the prevalence of informality among SE workers is presented in the Annex II of the paper).

(2021). Here we present a general overview of the measure for the individual-level and intrahousehold analyses. The MPI is constructed based on the Alkire-Foster (AF) method of multidimensional poverty measurement (Alkire and Foster 2011). Three key statistics characterize any MPI: incidence or headcount ratio (H), which is the proportion of the population who are multidimensionally poor; intensity (A), which is the average share of weighted indicators in which multidimensionally poor people are deprived; and adjusted headcount ratio (M0 or MPI), which is the product of the incidence and intensity (MPI = H × A). The AF method uses a dual-cutoff counting approach to poverty measurement. Having fixed relative weights across indicators that sum to 100 %, it first identifies who is deprived in each indicator, then sums up the weighted deprivations each person experiences into a deprivation score. A person is identified as poor if their deprivation score meets or exceeds a cross-dimensional poverty cutoff that is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100 %.

The focus is on individual deprivations, and we call the persons with individual-level data in each indicator the eligible household members. For example, children aged 6-16 years might be eligible for deprivations in terms of school attendance, but not those older or younger. For individual-level indicators, we identify who and how many household members are deprived: their gender and their age, and what proportion of eligible household members are deprived. This is a powerful and potentially informative steppingstone for analysis. Consider two households, each of which has five eligible members with data on nutrition.

The focus on gendered dynamics justifies health indicators related to pregnancy care, combining information on prenatal care, assisted delivery, and early marriage. A full discussion of the MPI ’ s indicator selection can be found in Admasu et al. (2021). We focus on six of these 15 indicators that use individual-level data – viz years of schooling, school attendance, pregnancy care, early marriage, legal identification, and unemployment.

To create improved gendered MPIs, in which people ’ s poverty can be compared across gender and age or the life cycle, research must develop “ comparable ” definitions of capability deprivation that matter to people in different age cohorts or different life situations. Reliable indicators comparing men and women ’ s income, ownership of assets, and decision-making powers in the same household are difficult, as are those measuring decent work. Health indicators also differ by gender, change across the life cycle, and vary across family structures and disability status. The MPI constructed in Admasu et al. (2021) has the same weaknesses as these measurement paradoxes, but it remains a step in the right direction.

In Somalia, displaced children are significantly more likely to experience intrahousehold inequality in school attendance, as they constitute 63. 5 % of school-age children experiencing intrahousehold inequality even though they only make up 35. 3 % of the school-age children population in the sample. For the years of schooling indicator, the overall lack of intrahousehold inequality among the MPI poor in years of schooling obscures meaningful or robust differences by displacement status.

While participation is the stated policy objective, the reality is that previous arrivals are almost exclusively living in camps, and that the new arrivals live in “ organized sites ” (as humanitarians now call them), presumably to cope with massive arrivals but with little concrete evidence for the onward movement of refugees. This note explores the size of this four-way benefit (for refugees, hosts, the Chadian state and the international community) by estimating how much could be saved on aid for basic needs consumption by enabling refugees from Sudan to realize their economic potential.

Introduction Violent conflict is one of the most important development challenges facing the world today. The incidence of wars has decreased in recent years (Harbom and Wallensteen 2009). However, the legacy of violence persists in many regions, affecting millions of men, women and children (Geneva Declaration Secretariat 2008, UNHCR 2008). The economic, political and social consequences of violence are far-reaching. Violent forms of conflict kill, injure and displace people, destroy physical capital and infrastructure and change the ways in which societies are organized. These effects will have considerable consequences for the long-term human capital accumulation of populations exposed to violence. This is well visible in the fact that no conflict-affected country will reach the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 (DFID 2009): conflict-affected countries contain one-third of those living in extreme poverty, and are responsible for almost one-half of child mortality in the world (Collier, 2007, DFID 2009). They also account for 42 % of all out-of-school children (28 million children), even though only 18 % of all children in the world of primary school age live in conflict-affected countries (UNESCO 2011). The objective of this paper is to examine one important channel linking violent conflict and development outcomes: the level and access to education of children living in contexts of conflict and violence.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "4 household displacement and the destruction of household dwellings during the violent events.

Literature review An emerging body of literature has provided valuable empirical evidence on the effects of violent conflict on income and consumption levels, and more generally on the welfare of populations living in areas of violence (Ibáñez and Moya 2009, Justino and Verwimp 2006, Verwimp and Bundervoet 2008). A significant number of studies have also examined the health impact of violent conflict, finding that violence results in negative health effects in terms of lower height-for-age and lower nutritional outcomes among children that will generate long-term consequences on future outcomes. 2 2 See Alderman et al.

Under Portuguese colonial rule, education was administered via the Catholic Church. Churches were the major providers of education and schooling was mostly available to the elite in urban areas. When, in 1975, Indonesia invaded the country, literacy rates were extremely low, at around five percent (UNDP 2002). Gender disparities were also very large. The Indonesian government planned to expand education access to the whole population of Timor Leste. Education was used as a means to control the population, and the Portuguese and Tetum languages were abolished. Under the Indonesian education system, children had to enroll in primary school by the age of 7, and were supposed to finish primary school at 12 years old (grade 6). In 1994, basic education was made compulsory up to low secondary school (nine grades of education up to age 15).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The data shows that cohorts that were of school age during the Indonesian occupation achieved higher level of education than older cohorts (i. e. those born in the 1970s compared to those born in the 1960s or before) testifying for an increasing trend as expected. The figure shows that despite the increasing trend a large fraction of individuals have low education levels. Interestingly, all curves start to drop after the 1987 cohort. This decreasing trend is observed among individuals aged 20 or younger in 2007 and provides evidence of a mismatch between the grade attended and the grade that they should have achieved at their age. 4 This is caused by a persistent sluggishness in grade achievement due to the high level of delayed entry to school and high rates of repetition. 5 The impact of the conflict in its different phases and the subsequent reconstruction efforts on schooling levels of children in Timor Leste is therefore unclear. The early years of violence coincided with an education for all policy in which quantity was preferred to quality. In addition, the 1999 violence that followed the withdrawal of Indonesian troops led to the destruction of schools and the removal of children from school. The reconstruction program implemented after 1999 tried to counteract this destruction, and achieved fast progress. However, the education sector was still in very poor shape. In the next section, we investigate in more detail the effects of the conflict on educational outcomes of boys and girls in Timor Leste. 4.

Empirical strategy In order to make use of the retrospective information on school attendance provided in the dataset, we have constructed what we have called an ‘ ad hoc panel ’, whereby we exploit the time-variation of the variables of interests (age, attendance status and grade attained by the respondents) by reshaping the cross-sectional structure of the TLSS 2001 dataset. In this way, we are able to obtain observations for each individual over three academic years. All key education variables are time- variant, while other individuals and households characteristics are time-invariant. Within these three years, we focus our analysis on individuals that were of primary school age (between 7 and 12 years old) in each year. In practice, we keep all children aged at minimum 7 years old in 1998 and at maximum 12 years old in 2000. As a consequence, our panel data contains children aged 8-11 years in 1999, the year of the violence. 11 Since we are interested in looking at different effects across groups of individuals, we have split the sample between boys and girls and between younger children (aged 8-9 in 1999) and older children (aged 10-11 in 1999).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["TLSS 2001 dataset"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "We estimate the following equation: [2] where are our outcome variables, i. e. attendance rate (which is a binary variable12) or grade deficit. and are year dummies respectively for year 2, the year of the 1999 violence, and for year 3, the first year of the post-conflict period.

We exclude the deaths due to deprivation because the districts in which this occurred may very likely not be those where the conflict was most intense, but were simply places were the victims were hiding as a consequence of escaping from the troops, and died for starvation. In addition, since killings are less likely to affect entire families than deaths due to deprivation, there is a lower underreporting bias attached to the former measure relative to the latter one (Silva and Ball 2006). We also exclude disappearances as, according to HRVD data, they do not show enough time and geographical variation in order to identify individuals more or less exposed to the conflict. We believe that the number of killings proxies quite well the intensity of the conflict across time and space as their occurrence largely tracked the movements of the Indonesian military operations. The other two types of violations do not seem to show the same pattern (Silva and Ball 2006).

This result implies that much more attention must be paid to understanding how children are affected by violent conflict and the different roles girls and boys assume during and after the conflict. The third implication is that conflict is not a uniform phenomenon. Violent conflict affects different people and different aspects of their welfare through different channels. In the case of Timor Leste, and in line to evidence from other conflicts such as Colombia (see Ibáñez and Moya 2009 for instance), displacement has particularly adverse effects on educational outcomes. The recently released Education for All Global Monitoring report by UNESCO (2011) portrays displaced populations as the hidden victims of conflict. A significantly disproportional number of displaced children are out of school (even in comparison to conflict-affected populations in the same country), while enrolment rates among displaced populations across the world average around 69 % for primary school and 30 % for secondary school.

Imbalance between treatment and control groups could undermine the key assumption of parallel trends. For example, given that men and women face different barriers in the labor market, we should not expect employment to evolve in the same way for men and women after the treatment. We would expect to observe a difference-in-differences for a treatment group where women are more common than in the reference group, even without the program. To test for imbalances, we run a simple regression of treatment and attrition indicators at baseline on the socio-economic and demographic controls, GRIT indicators, self-reported optimism, employment status and risk. Table 4 (Column 1 for the treatment analysis, Column 2 for the attrition analysis) shows some signs of structure. In particular, host status and risk preferences are significantly different between treatment and control, with 9 For example, “ hummus ” is used to refer to chickpeas in general but can also be used for the dish involving mashed chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic in Lebanon. In other dialects, some qualifiers are required to specify this dish (e. g. hummus ne ’ em, or smooth hummus). This is akin to identifying a British or American individual using similar variations in foodstuffs such as courgette / zucchini; coriander / cilantro; etc. 10 Specifically, we regress variables with missing observations on the list of all variables with a complete record.

This suggests that members of the treatment group are not, for example, more motivated to succeed than members of the control group. To account for these biases, we generate a series of inverse probability weights to balance the data. These weights define the probability of an individual with particular characteristics (e. g. host or refugee status) being in each of the treatment and control groups at baseline and endline and are used to rebalance the data in order to closer support the parallel trends assumption.

The database records the number of “ persons of interest ” to UNHCR in each year since 1951 and for each situation, where a situation consists of a pair host-origin countries. The calculation of duration of exile is obtained under a no-turnover assumption, whereby a de- crease in the number of refugees for any given situation is fully attributed to exits from refugee status, while increases are assumed to be fully accounted for by new cases. Although such ap- proach tends to over-estimate the true duration of exile, the lack of individual-level data on regis- tration precludes refining the estimate further. Attempts to estimate similar statistics have been limited.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Population Statistics Database"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "In a 2004 note to its Executive Com- mittee, UNHCR established the average at 17 years at the end of 2003 (Executive Committee of the High Commissioner ’ s Programme 2004).

Yet, data collection is a difficult exercise, due to both methodological issues (UNHCR 2014) and practical challenges, especially in situations of heightened insecurity or mass refugee situations. To date, UNHCR maintains the most comprehensive statistical database under a uniform methodology. UNHCR publishes annual data on refugee flows and stocks by countries of resi- dence and origin dating back to 1951, shortly after the Office was established. UNHCR publishes annual statistical reports ranging from “ Global Trends ”, “ Mid-year trends ”, “ Asylum trends ”, to a “ Statistical Yearbook ”.

Data were provided for 173 countries: 77 percent of these data were based on individual refugee registration, 13 percent on estimates, 5 percent on combined estimation and registration, and 5 percent on other sources. The data are structured as follows: for each situation, the database records annual numbers of persons of concern, which comprise “ Refugees (including refugee-like situations) ”, “ Asylum seekers ”, “ Internally Displaced Persons ”, “ Returnees ”, “ Stateless ” persons, and “ Others of concern ”. A situation is a pair country of origin / country of destination. For example, Somali refugees in Kenya account for one situation, Somali refugees in Ethiopia for another, and South Sudanese refugees in Kenya for yet another. Furthermore, a situation is considered major if it involves more than 25, 000 people. It is referred to as protracted if it is major for at least 5 continuous years. The database, and therefore our analysis, is limited to refugees under UNHCR protection. It does not include asylum seekers, i. e. individuals who have sought international protection under the 1951 Convention but whose claims for refugee status have not yet been determined, and persons in “ refugee-like situations ”, i. e. individuals outside their country or territory of origin who face protection risks similar to those of refugees, but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained (e. g., undocumented Rohingya originating from Myanmar 4", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["UNHCR Population Statistics Reference database"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "in Bangladesh).

Palestinian refugees are people “ whose normal place of residence was Mandatory Palestine be- tween June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict ”. Importantly, their patrilineal descendants are also considered refugees regardless of citizenship (UNRWA 2009). For the purpose of the analysis, we do not include Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who are defined as “ persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or leave their home or place of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disas- ters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized border ” (United Nations 2004).

As an illustration, we go back to the Somalia-Kenya situation. In 2015, the number of Somali refugees in Kenya amounted to 418, 844 persons. The first year such number was reached was in 2011. The no-turnover assumption implies that all current refugees have been in exile for 3 years. But in 2010, the number of refugees was 353, 208 persons. We conclude that the difference between 2010 and 2011 represents 74, 104 new refugees in 2010, who have hence been in exile for four years. In 2009, the number was at 310, 458: the difference between 2009 and 2010 (42, 750) are therefore people who have been in exile for five years, etc. We repeat the exercise for each year until the beginning of the crisis in 1991. This gives us a num- ber of new arrivals for each year since 1991. On this basis we can calculate average and median durations for this situation. Next, we aggregate all situations and consider one single “ global refugee population ”. We have for each year a number of people who arrived in a variety of situations and make up a global flow. We can hence calculate global average and median durations. For each year, we can also break down the flow across countries of arrival. We can construct similar lower-bound envelopes starting from any “ current year ” which we choose as a reference point. For example, we can apply the same protocols to evaluate average and median durations as of 1994 (the lower-bound envelope is depicted by the dash-dot line in Figure 3).

Based on the Alkire-Foster (AF) method, the index provides a summary measure of poverty for the population that can be disaggregated by displacement status and gender of the household head to analyze the variation in deprivations. The MPI can be further broken down by indicator to show the proportion of the population who are poor and deprived in each area. These features of the MPI can inform better policy responses, with interventions and programs targeting the most deprived communities and indicators with the highest headcount ratios.

Background and literature review 2. 1 Poverty and forced displacement By 2019, there were about 51 million IDPs across the world, most of them – 46 million – displaced by conflict and violence, with around five million displaced due to natural disasters (IDMC 2020). According to estimates by UNHCR (2020), the number of refugees reached over 20 million as of the end of 2019. While in many cases, conflict and natural disasters have been temporary, resulting in fluctuations in the number of people fleeing their homes in any given country, the global number of IDPs and refugees has grown almost every year over the last two decades. UNHCR estimates that the number of refugees has doubled over the last ten years. Nearly all IDPs live in low- and middle-income countries, and many have experienced secondary displacement. Overall, about half live in urban areas, with one-fourth in major urban areas (i. e., populations exceeding 300, 000).

Data Data on forcibly displaced populations are scarce, with many household surveys excluding refugees and IDPs from the sample framework. To ensure that MPI results are representative of these communities and that they can be disaggregated for comparative analysis, an initial review of possible data sets was conducted. Feasibility was determined based on the availability of sufficient sample sizes for forcibly displaced persons for quantitative analyses, as well as inclusion of many of the indicators (on health, education, living standards, etc.) 14 A household is deprived if the respondent reports feeling moderately or very unsafe when alone at home, walking alone after dark, or walking around during the day. In Sudan, the indicator on the ‘ feeling safe from crime and violence when at home ’ was not available, and the indicator only considers answers to the questions on safety when walking alone. 15 Unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, carts with tank, tanker-truck, surface water, or other are considered as unsafe water sources according to international guidelines.

Overall, the censored headcount ratios (proportion of people who are poor and deprived in a given indicator) are lower among non-displaced communities than among refugees and IDPs, but there are large differences in which indicators are the most salient in different countries. The indicators with the largest difference between the two populations are bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria. These findings reinforce the need for policies and programming that take into account the measured experiences of IDPs and refugees. In this way, the MPI can function both as tool to monitor, track, and bear witness to the lived experiences of forcibly displaced communities, as well as advise on evidence-based interventions that address the needs of the local population.

As the Sudanese sample surveys IDPs living in the Abu Shouk and El Salam camps, we must understand these deprivations with the background that these settlements were created as emergency and crisis responses rather than durable, long-term solutions (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019). Although Sudan does have a national electric grid that supplies electricity to the urban and peri-urban areas of the nearby city El Fasher, IDP communities living in the camps report limited connection to the city ’ s electricity supply, reflected in the high deprivations in the electricity and cooking fuel indicators. The ad-hoc construction of dwellings in the two camps explains why 71 % of the IDP households in Abu Shouk and 65 % in El Salam live in tukuls or other permanent mud or wood structures (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019: p. 50), both of which register as unimproved housing types.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["High Frequency Surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Bank branches in El Fasher have limited capital for small businesses as their headquarters in Khartoum regard the area as too great a risk and IDPs themselves as riskier investments than their host community peers (UN- HABITAT 2009: p. 8).

Clearly, displacement status puts individuals at a greater risk of poverty than their host community neighbors, and we can unpack those risks in greater detail using the MPI.

Gender differences in multidimensional poverty Next we examine differences in multidimensional poverty outcomes by the gender of the household head. Existing literature points out the limitation of household level MPI analysis in masking the intrahousehold distribution of deprivations, and thus being less sensitive to gender based differences in individual outcomes within the family unit, which might lead to underestimation of inequality and gender gaps (Espinoza-Delgado and Klasen 2018; Franco 2017; Klasen and Lahoti 2020, Rodriguez, 2016). However, as the MPI identifies poverty at the household level, our initial analysis focuses on disaggregated results by the gender of the household head. 19 We acknowledge that this approach has several limitations since most women reside in male-headed households, and the composition of households can change after displacement due to separation of family members, and widowhood. Regardless, the analysis at the household level remains relevant given the high prevalence of female-headed households that emerge after displacement, with the analysis showing large differences across countries between households based on the gender of the head.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["High Frequency Surveys"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "21 Table 6: Percentage of displaced individuals deprived in selected indicators by gender Ethiopia South Sudan Sudan Male Female Male Female Male Female Years of schooling 55 78 * * * 36 63 * * * 32 46 * * * School attendance 16 19 * * 21 29 23 23 Early marriage 3 13 * * * 8 75 * * * 6 50 * * * Unemployment 7 5 * * * 2 0 * 3 3 Legal id 45 46 48 74 * * * 10 10 Source: Authors ’ calculations based on data from the High Frequency Surveys of Ethiopia (2017), Nigeria (2018), Somalia (2017), South Sudan (2017) and Sudan (2017).

To uncover the main drivers of the observed gender based differences in multidimensional poverty at country level, we study the absolute contribution of the gender difference in each indicator to the overall household gender gap (see Figure 6), calculated as the difference between the censored headcount ratio for males versus females. We find that in Ethiopia, the gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mostly driven by the difference in financial insecurity measures (lack of legal ID and bank account) and health measures (early marriage, physical safety, and food insecurity), which is further reinforced by the differences in the living standard and education measures. Female-headed refugee households are more food insecure, live in unimproved housing, have lower access to electricity, are more likely to be married at an early age, and have lower access to legal identification and a bank account. In South Sudan, gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mainly explained by the differential in the financial insecurity and health measures, but cumulative gaps in the living standard and education indicators also contribute to the overall gap at the household level.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["High Frequency Surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "E Nigeria Somalia Sudan Host community Refugees Host community IDP Host community IDP Host community IDP No earners 40 % 51 % 62 % 50 % 32 % 64 % 7 % 45 % Remittance recipients only 7 % 8 % 76 % 69 % 16 % 37 %-- Female single earner 12 % 52 % 23 % 37 % 35 % 70 % 24 % 55 % Male single earner 8 % 23 % 4 % 14 % 24 % 50 % 8 % 39 % Majority female earners 3 % 57 % 9 % 28 % 9 % 28 % 15 % 45 % Equal contribution 10 % 24 % 17 % 16 % 23 % 63 % 8 % 41 % Majority male earners 5 % 16 % 15 % 19 % 20 % 52 % 9 % 39 % Source: Authors ’ calculations based on data from the High Frequency Surveys of Ethiopia (2017), Nigeria (2018), Somalia (2017), South Sudan (2017) and Sudan (2017).

Most of the displaced populations from the first group live in host communities with good access to basic services such as sanitation and water, and safety nets.

Conclusion This paper contributes to the literature by analyzing multidimensional poverty among refugees and internally displaced populations. We observe that forcibly displaced communities are poorer than host communities in each of the five countries ’ sub-populations covered in the surveys, with the difference in incidence between displaced and non-displaced population ranging between 15 and 19 percentage points in South Sudan and Somalia to over 30 percentage points in Ethiopia and Sudan. Displaced communities also experience greater deprivations in nearly every indicator, although there is significant variation in which indicators are the most salient, with having a bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria showing the largest differences between the two populations. The results also indicate gender differences in the experience of multidimensional poverty, with female-headed households more likely to be poor than male-headed households in most of the countries. In addition, displaced households headed by women have a higher incidence of poverty and MPI than non-displaced female-headed households. Particularly, female-headed households in camps have higher multidimensional poverty and intensity compared to their counterparts living outside camps. Dissaggregating further, we find heterogeneity among de facto and de jure female heads.

This phenomenon can be explained by essentially two factors. The first relates to the humanitarian ‐ development nexus. For the longest time, refugees and IDPs remained the quasi monopoly of humanitarian organizations whose mandate is essentially the humanitarian protection of refugees and IDPs. These organizations are not typically staffed by economists and analysists but by field workers and lawyers. There was, therefore, little demand for hard economics on forced displacement for a very long time. This is changing as development organizations typically staffed by economists have started to work on forced displacement situations. The second factor relates to lack of good data. As we will see in the data section, data collection of mobile populations is complex and the main organizations in charge of data collection of refugee and IDPs data are humanitarian organizations that do not necessarily have the complex skills required for issues like sampling, questionnaire design and data analysis and have a duty to protect data by mandate.

Considering equal weighting as in EU theory can lead to the Allais paradox (Allais, 1953) where different choice frameworks can lead to opposite conclusions about dominance of alternative choices. Khaneman and Tversky (1979) also showed that, for negative prospects, preferences are reversed as compared to positive prospects (this is called the reflection effect). Therefore, “ (…) certainty increases the aversiveness of losses as well as the desirability of gains ” (Khaneman and Tversky, 1979, p. 269).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Hence, the authors introduce the notion of decision weight ߨ to weigh the importance that people give to different probabilities so that the expected utility function becomes ܧሺ ܷ ሻ ൌ ෍ ߨ ൣ ݌ ൫ܧ ௝ ൯൧ ܷ ሺݔ ௝ ሻ ௡ ௝ ୀ ଵ One can also study decision making in a game theory setting. Expected utility can be looked at as a one ‐ person game but the value added of game theory in the context of forced displacement relates to multiple ‐ person games. Suppose that actions taken by individuals under conflict situations affect the actions of others and ultimately one ’ s own action (the classic prisoner ’ s dilemma for example). This is what game theory is good in modeling and it could provide valuable contributions to the study of collective behavior under forced displacement situations (see for example Zeager and Bascom, 1996). New branches of economics such as neuroeconomics and behavioral economics, which combine elements of psychology and neuroscience with elements of economics, offer alternative new avenues to the construction of utility models in a forced displacement context. For example, neuroeconomics developed a hierarchical module oriented approach (Sanfey et al., 2006) whereby individuals take decisions in a hierarchical manner where multiple systems of specialized processing modules transform specific inputs into outputs in organized decision stages. This process can be observed in people ’ s brains with scans and can be modeled empirically using specifically designed questionnaires.

The intensity of a conflict may be more important than the income opportunities in potential destination areas. In addition to the classic socioeconomic variables, risk aversion, stress, anxiety, other traits of personality and behavioral factors in general have to be well understood and measured. Hence, one could think of four essential blocks of independent variables including individual or household socioeconomic characteristics, “ push ” factors, “ pull ” factors and behavioral factors. Also, access to and dissemination of information related to the conflict in the place of origin but also in the potential places of destination may be crucial for people to make choices.

Households may decide to leave and come back several times. In econometric terms, this means that longitudinal data may be left and right censored and have spells within. They are therefore the most complex set of panel data possible and require particular treatment of data and modeling. Survival or duration models can usually accommodate many of these complexities but it is very rare to find similar data sets used in published articles.

This is an issue where empirical economics could provide a real contribution by defining the optimal data format and adapting panel models to this format. Macro models Macroeconomics has attempted to model forced migration using models borrowed from the trade and economic migration literature such as the gravitational model (Echevarria and Gardeazabal, 2016) or used other macro models to test the impact of refugees on trade (White and Tadess, 2010).

As mentioned, the UNHCR is really the only statistical agency for refugees and the UNHCR registry the only population census. As for any other populations, sampling requires the preparation of a master sample that derives from the population census. With various degrees of knowledge and accuracy, this is also what happens with refugees. However, the master sample is more difficult to construct than for regular populations because refugees live in camps and outside camps and are diluted in a host population with different types of arrangements. Some households rent, others stay at relatives ’ places, other live in makeshift shacks and others stay in camps. The information available in the UNHCR registry (the census) can also be quite inaccurate, as already discussed, and the degree of accuracy changes for different groups of refugees. Stratification by urban and rural areas, a typical approach in sampling, may mean little for a population that is mostly in urban areas whether in camps or outside camps.

Again, there is very little research in welfare economics dedicated to the special needs of these populations. Risks and vulnerabilities. The analysis of risk and vulnerability is also much more complex in the context of the forcibly displaced. Welfare economics has only approached these topics recently, in the past decade or so. Essentially, the idea is to measure the risk of being poor or falling poor in the future using cross ‐ section or panel data studying spells of poverty over time. This is work that requires accurate and complex data sets that would be rarely available in a refugee or IDP context. More importantly, the nature of the problem changes.

A Geographically Disaggregated Analysis * Håvard Hegre Centre for the Study of Civil War, PRIO (CSCW) Clionadh Raleigh CSCW, PRIO & University of Colorado at Boulder Abstract Why do larger countries have more armed conflict? This paper surveys three sets of hypotheses forwarded in the conflict literature regarding the relationship between the size and location of population groups: Hypotheses based on pure population mass, on distances, on population concentrations, and some residual state-level characteristics. The hypotheses are tested on a new dataset – ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Events Dataset) – which disaggregates internal conflicts into individual events.

Through disaggregation, we may succeed in supporting explanations based on variables such as the distance from the capital and the overall size of the country's population if we know at which locations conflicts occur. If conflicts are located mainly at some distance from countries'capitals, we might infer that large countries have more conflicts because of the difficulties of projecting governmental power. If they are located in population concentrations irrespective of location relative to the capita, other explanations should be sought.

But it is not certain that such location-specific factors are the only relevant ones. The size of a country itself may affect risk over and beyond what is implied by sheer population size, distance, and population distributions. If the economies of scale with respect to defense are sufficiently large, the risk of conflict events at a location at a given distance from the capital may be lower the larger is the country (Collier & Hoeffler, 2002).

We have created a dataset using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program which converted large territories into smaller portions of 8. 6 km x 8. 6 km, totaling 74 square kilometers. Each of these grid squares are our units of observation (we will refer to them as squares). This approach is similar to that of Buhaug & Rød (2006), with two important differences. First, their squares are much larger (100x100km). Second, they code the dependent variable considerably more crudely than is done in the ACLED dataset described below.

The dataset takes the PRIO / Uppsala Armed Conflicts Dataset as its point of departure. The dataset is limited to events within conflicts that fall within the Uppsala conflict definition; conflicts involving two parties, one of which is a government, and fighting resulting in at least 25 battle deaths. 3 ACLED is designed to parse out both the temporal and spatial actions of rebels and governments within civil wars. 3See the PRIO / Uppsala Armed Conflict Data codebook for more information (Strand, Wilhelmsen & Gleditsch, 2004).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["PRIO / Uppsala Armed Conflicts Dataset", "ACLED dataset"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["location dataset"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "14 The fundamental unit of observation in ACLED is the event.

Events in one conflict may also affect the likelihood of other conflicts, such as the spillover of the conflict in Rwanda into Eastern DRC. The statistical model employed to analyze these data must handle the dependence between observations. We will do this by explicitly modeling the probability of an event in a location as a function of preceding events in the same and in adjacent squares. We can do this since we know both the precise date and the precise geographic location of each event. We use an adaption of the calendar-time Cox regression model presented in Raknerud & Hegre (1997) for this purpose. In Cox regression, the dependent variable is the transition between `states of nature'-- the transition from peace to conflict in a square. A central concept is the hazard function, () t λ, which is closely related to the concept of transition probability: () t t Δ λ is approximately the probability of a transition in the", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The observations of positive events contain more information than the non-event observations We therefore sample asymmetrically: We sample all of the transition events and 1. 0 % of the non-transition events. 3. 4 Disaggregated Independent Variables Local level data on land, population, and elevation is available in the geospatial format of raster files with a resolution of 1km.

Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region in the world, and the world ’ s fastest-growing. Between 2010 and 2025, the number of people between 15 and 24 will grow to 250 million – a net increase of nearly 50 percent. Over the next decade, roughly one million young people will enter the labor market each month in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, these young people often enter the labor market too early and unprepared. Although access to education is growing, illiteracy remains high and schooling low: among the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries in the Barro-Lee (2010) data set, nearly 40 percent of women aged 15 and above have received no education at all; and the most recent (2007-2011) statistics in the World Bank ’ s Edstats data reveal that female literacy is less than 60 percent, on average. 1 This lack of preparedness contributes to a growing problem of youth unemployment. Quantifying the level of unemployment is bedeviled by lack of data and measurement issues. Household and labor force surveys throughout Africa usually record unemployment rates of less than 10 percent, 2 but those figures belie the extent of underemployment and vulnerability. Those same surveys indicate that the vast majority of working adults have insecure work in the informal sector, on the family farm, or in less- productive or unremunerated labor.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Barro-Lee", "Edstats data"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["Household and labor force surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The most recent labor force survey from Liberia mirrors these statistics: there are roughly 1. 1 million people in the workforce, of whom 195, 000 (about 18 percent) are engaged in wage employment; the remaining 900, 000-plus workers (82 percent) are considered in vulnerable employment, working for themselves or working unpaid for their own households (LISGIS 2010). Among young women (15-24) in Liberia, the unemployment rate is 8 percent, double the rate among young men (LISGIS 2010). Most of these gaps can be explained by differences across individuals, especially in educational attainment, skills training, and years of experience. But segregation, market segmentation, and discrimination do play a role in determining these individual characteristics. Women have fewer opportunities for education or training, less access to credit, a larger share of domestic responsibilities, and less independence and control over their own lives. In Liberia, women comprise half of the employed, but only about one-quarter of paid employment (LISGIS 2011).

EPAG was designed to alleviate the barriers to entering the labor market faced by young women, while avoiding the shortfalls of previous skills training programs offered in Liberia. The program combined six months of classroom-based technical and life skills training, with a focus on skills with high market demand, followed by six months of follow-up support to enter wage employment or start a business. Roughly 1200 young women aged 16-27 participated in the first round of EPAG. 3 See http: / / www. youth-employment-inventory. org /.

First, we are interested in the economic outcomes of EPAG participants in terms of employment, earnings, and savings and investment behaviors. Second, because of the program ’ s focus on young women, a variety of non- economic outcomes are explored. Early evidence suggests that empowerment in one realm (e. g., schooling) can have important impacts on other realms, such as early pregnancy, prevalence of STDs, and risky behaviors such as transactional sex (Baird 2010). Related to these non-economic outcomes are measures of social empowerment, including mobility, decision-making, and self-confidence, which are thought to strengthen women ’ s agency, or capacity to exert choice over decisions involving herself, her family, and her community. Finally, we investigate a third set of outcomes on spillover effects. Evidence suggests that women tend to invest more of their income in their families, especially their children, than do men (e. g. World Bank 2001, Hoddinott 1995, Pitt 1998, Borges 2007).

The EPAG Project The EPAG project is part of a larger Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) administered by the World Bank with support from the Nike Foundation and the Governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Launched in Washington DC in October 2008, the AGI was spearheaded by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who signed on to undertake the initiative ’ s first pilot project in Liberia. The Liberian pilot was launched in March 2010 and has served as a role model to seven subsequent pilot projects in Rwanda, South Sudan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Haiti, Jordan, and Lao PDR. Under the global AGI, young women and adolescent girls are given a package of skills training and complementary services in order to facilitate their successful transition to employment.

In the first round of training, the proportion of Job Skills track places was limited to 35 % of the total training places available given the expectation that few wage jobs will be available in the Liberian job market. The Job Skills track provided training in six areas: 1) hospitality, 2) professional cleaning / waste management, 3) office / computer skills, 4) professional house / office painting, 5) security guard services, and 6) professional driving. These areas were determined based on independent labor market assessments, a review of the available market data, and input from EPAG ’ s private sector partners.

The bonus was the last payment that the service providers received under their contracts. These were paid about 12 months after the start of training, or around the same time as the midline survey.

Hence the application process relied primarily on self-reported data. To counter the likelihood that applicants would give false information in order to gain entry into the program, the eligibility criteria were not made public; the mobilization and outreach campaigns did not specify the precise age or education requirements for the program. During the recruitment events, each applicant had to physically present herself, fill out an application form specifying her age, education history, and residence.

Retention and Attendance: After dividing EPAG trainees into two rounds, or cohorts, for the training, the first round of training was held from March 2010 to February 2011. The classroom training was held from March through August, during which the project achieved a 95 % retention rate (far higher than similar programs in Liberia and elsewhere), and an average attendance rate of nearly 90 % during the classroom training phase. EPAG trainees were given incentives to participate and to make the most of their training: they signed\"Trainee Commitment Forms\"at the start of the training, they were paid small stipends and a completion bonus contingent upon attendance, they were offered free childcare at every training site, they were assisted to open a savings account at a local bank in which to save their 6 Bassa Community, Battery Factory, Bentol, Doe Community, New Kru Town, Old Road, Red Light, and West Point in Montserrado County and Kakata in Margibi County. 7 To alleviate the burden of this requirement, the second round of the EPAG program included a preliminary basic literacy program to help otherwise eligible young women to improve their literacy and numeracy skills in advance of entering the program. 6", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "stipend money, and they were formed into small groups or\"EPAG teams\", each with a coach or mentor, to foster support networks and boost attendance. 3. Methodology 3. 1. Research design The impact evaluation of the EPAG project uses a randomized controlled trial, in which eligible applicants to the program were randomly assigned to participate in one of two cohorts (or “ rounds ”) of training. The treatment group is defined as those who were offered a space in the first round of training and the control group comprises those assigned to the second round. Selection into the training rounds was performed on a computer (using Excel) and was stratified by the track choice of the applicant (job skills versus business development skills), community, and service provider. Data were collected using three quantitative household surveys (baseline, midline, and endline) and two sets of qualitative focus group discussions (one after each round of training). A timeline of the impact evaluation is depicted in Figure 1. During both the baseline and midline surveys, the head of the household in which the EPAG participant was residing was also interviewed, in order to examine potential spillover effects of the program on non-treated household members.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["quantitative household surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The household head interviews also provided an opportunity to gather useful household-level information (including assets, housing characteristics, and household head characteristics) to be used as control variables in our analysis.

The results in this paper are based on a panel data set that includes data from the baseline and midline surveys as well as administrative and monitoring data from the program implementation team. Note that although the midline data collection occurred just one month after the completion of the intervention, the intervention itself includes 6 months of post-training follow-up; hence the midline survey captures outcomes of the first cohort 7 months after they exited the classroom-based training. This timing was necessary to prevent too long of a delay between cohorts; the second cohort of trainees started immediately after the midline survey was completed. Future analysis using endline data will examine the trends in outcomes of both groups after Round 1 completion, but will not involve comparison against a pure control group of non-participants. 3. 2.

In both treatment and control households, a high proportion of school-aged children are in fact enrolled in school. Less than half of young people aged 13-30 in study households have any employment. Housing conditions are also similar across experimental groups. Tables 2A and 2B include a representative, but not exhaustive, list of indicators that were tested for balance by the authors. We conclude that the presence of very few significant differences between the individual or household characteristics between the two experimental groups indicates a high degree of internal validity for the study. 3. 5.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "However, the program itself was designed to fit within the young women ’ s lives, specifically with regard to their employment, education, and childcare duties.

The AGI program has focused on the development and measurement of these softer attributes that matter for employment as well as those that matter more to the individual, such as self-confidence and empowerment. Despite the challenges of measuring such subjective outcomes, the survey instruments included panels of questions designed to elucidate a nuanced picture of the personality and psychosocial characteristics that are most relevant for labor market success.

Respondents were asked how much control they had over how to spend their own earnings; also, whether they had money of their own for basic uses that they alone could decide how to use, without having to ask for permission.

If the economic success of the EPAG participant allowed her to bring non-resident family members into her household (including but not limited to her own children), then overall household size may have been expected to increase as a result of the program. This does not appear to have happened, at least in the short term. The results in Table 8 show that overall household size was not affected by the program. It is possible that the increase in earnings due to EPAG was too small, or too short-lived, to have induced the kinds of migrations described above.

Cost Effectiveness Although the first task of any evaluation is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention – that is, whether or not the program actually has a measurable and attributable impact – this is not enough to recommend the program to policymakers. This requires also that the program can show that it is worth spending scarce public resources to do it. Ideally, a program worth doing will be both effective and cost- effective. One can measure cost-effectiveness in terms of the number of physical outputs produced or outcomes achieved, e. g. the number of people employed per dollar spent, or one can measure achievements in terms of the value of the benefits acquired relative to the amount of money spent.

Although high relative to most developing-country budgets, these costs are well within the range of the Jovenes youth training programs implemented in Latin America (cf. Ibarrarán and Rosas 2009).

Robustness Checks 6. 1. Sample attrition Many challenges were encountered during survey implementation, due to the context – the densely populated and impoverished communities in and around Monrovia are difficult settings in which to find and track respondents — as well as the transience of a young study population. Despite vigorous efforts to track and interview each individual in the sample, a certain amount of survey attrition was expected. As the survey response rates in Table 1 show, 1622 (or 80 %) of the individuals in the study sample were successfully interviewed in both the baseline and midline surveys. Another 305 respondents were interviewed at baseline but not at midline and hence are not in the panel used for the analysis in this paper. 27 This survey attrition, while not much higher than other program evaluations in Africa, may cause concern that the results of this evaluation are biased, especially if the loss to follow up is correlated with individual characteristics that might affect the outcomes. To address this concern, Table 10 presents regressions on the likelihood of panel inclusion, that is, the likelihood of being interviewed at both baseline and midline. The first column indicates that treated individuals are significantly more likely than control to have been interviewed twice. This result persists even after controlling for individual characteristics and community dummies.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Columns 2, 3, and 4 show that age, school attendance, and employment status at baseline are all correlated with survey attrition. To further investigate whether these characteristics lead to differential attrition between the treatment and control groups, we interact treatment with particular characteristics at baseline. Columns 5 and 6 show that, conditional on being in the control group, the most likely predictor of attrition is having a child. By itself, being a mother does not predict attrition, but when interacted with treatment, we see that control group mothers are more likely to have dropped out of the panel than their treated counterparts. Employment at baseline, while positively correlated with attrition, does not differentially affect treated and untreated individuals. Because the differential attrition between treatment and control groups may bias our results, we use Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) as outlined in Wooldridge (2002) to adjust the estimates of our key outcomes, using the inverse probability of inclusion in the panel as a probability weight. As a first step, we use the probit model in Column (6) of Table 10 to regress the likelihood of being observed twice on baseline individual characteristics, including those likely to affect attrition, such as employment and parental status. In the second step, we use the inverse of the predicted values from that probit model as probability weights to redo the difference-in-difference regressions for our key outcomes of interest. This method gives more weight to the individuals with the highest chance of attrition, giving them more influence on the estimate of the impact than those with a low probability of attrition. The results are reported in Table 11. The results show a high degree of similarity between the original (unadjusted) and the adjusted estimates. Across all outcomes, the point estimates and standard errors vary only slightly. 27 Of these 305 cases, nine are dropped from the attrition analysis because the household head was not interviewed at baseline, hence the household level control variables are not available. 23", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The EPAG program, which delivered six months of classroom-based skills training followed by six months of job placement support for either self or wage employment, led to a 47 % increase in employment and 80 % growth in earnings, relative to a randomly selected control group of non-participants.

These impacts vary somewhat but remain consistently positive and significant across almost all communities, educational backgrounds, and wealth levels. The highest impacts were obtained for those in the middle of the wealth distribution, and for girls with higher educational levels, which is consistent with the program ’ s initial screening for young women with basic literacy who would be able to make use of a classroom-based skills course. These strong impacts on employment and earnings translated into positive impacts in other realms of the participants ’ lives. Our results show striking improvements in various empowerment measures, including access to and control over monetary resources, including savings, where the program led to a sizeable difference of 35 USD in savings between treated and control individuals. The study also documents significant improvements in a wide range of subjective outcomes including measures of worry, life satisfaction, self-regulation, self-confidence, and self-perceptions of social abilities. In the area of fertility and sexual behaviors, the results paint a somewhat more nuanced picture.

There was a weak reduction in the likelihood of having any children, and a stronger increase in the likelihood of being pregnant, even after excluding those who were pregnant at baseline.

The fact that three sources use different definitions of madrassa enrollment, and were collected at different times by individuals with very different institutional affiliations provides independent verification of enrollment estimates and allows us to determine the sensitivity of our results. The household data tell us whether a child is enrolled full-time in a madrassa, but not whether a child goes for an hour on any given day to study the Quran. Therefore this data does not confound full-time with part-time attendees — a child who attends a public school during the day and a madrassa in the evening is recorded as enrolled in a public school. This is an important distinction since parents might use a modicum of madrassa or mosque based education to teach their children about religion. Consequently, if we contrast these household-based numbers with numbers from establishment-based reports, discrepancies can arise. From virtually any policy perspective, including evening quran classes in enrollment figures seems misguided.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Pakistan Integrated Household Survey", "1998 Census of Population"], "descriptive_data": ["2003 census of schooling choice"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Regrettably, until now almost all enrollment numbers cited have been based on establishment surveys which do just that.

Since 2001, our school census suggests that these numbers may have increased somewhat, although the experience varies across districts. To put this number in context, total primary enrollment (grades 1-5) in public and private schools stood at 17. 4 million in 2003 (Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Finance, 2003). The choice of madrassa schooling viewed as either the percentage of eligible children or the percentage of enrolled children, is statistically insignificant for the average Pakistani household. Enrollment in madrassas accounts for approximately 0. 3 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 19. Given that the overall enrollment rate for this age group is roughly 42 percent, this represents less than 0. 7 percent of all enrolled children, an order of magnitude less than the 33 percent cited by the International Crisis Group report (2002). 3 This is complemented with the census of private schools carried out by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in 2000 to provide statistics for private versus public enrollment. 4The PIHS is the equivalent of the widely used Living Standard Measurement Surveys (LSMS) implemented in various countries.

Two sources are nationally representative, but date from 2001 or before, the third is data from a census of households carried out by the authors in 2003 as part of a project on educational choice. The first source is the “ long ” form of the population census in 1998, which is a large sample-based survey with information on enrollment. This survey is representative at the level of the district and region (rural or urban) and provides comprehensive coverage of the entire country. 7 We use this data to examine enrollment patterns across districts. The second type of data, based on household surveys, are different rounds of the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS) carried out in 1991, 1998 and 2001. While the data is not as extensive as the census, it contains detailed household information on schooling and income, and has been used extensively by researchers both in Pakistan and the United States. Finally, we use the census of schooling choice among households that our research team conducted in August 2003 (referred to as the project on “ Learning and Educational Achievement in Punjab Schools ”, or LEAPS).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Pakistan Integrated Household Survey"], "descriptive_data": ["census of schooling choice among households"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "These data are only for three districts in the province of Punjab, but is very recent, was conducted by an independent team of academics, and is a complete census of all households in the selected villages.

Table A2 in the appendix shows how these different data sources are used in the paper. Each source asks about madrassa enrollment in a slightly different but comparable way. The population census (1998) asks about the field-of-education (“ What is name ’ s field of education? ”) with options that include (for instance) engineering, medicine, or religious education. This question is also asked of all literate adults irrespective of their current enrollment status, allowing for comparisons in the stock of religious education over time. The PIHS rounds ask, “ What type of school is name currently attending? ” with options that include government school, private school, or deeni-madrassa (religious schooling). Finally, the LEAPS census directly asks, “ Is the child enrolled in a madrassa or an Islamic education school? ” Fortunately these different questions all give rise to similar numbers. This is reassuring since it suggests that any one particular result is not driven by the specific question or definition that was used. 7 This is complemented with the census of private schools carried out by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in 2000 (www. statpak. gov. pk).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["LEAPS census"], "descriptive_data": ["census of private schools"], "vague_data": ["population census"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "11 There may be grounds for skepticism about these estimates for madrassa enrollment. Since the data were collected prior to 2001, geopolitical changes after September 11 could have led to greater madrassa enrollment. In addition, the household-based survey faces the usual problems of accurately estimating a low-probability event — although enrollment is less than 1 percent in these surveys, the sampling error is large (see Bauman, 2001, for a description of similar problems in estimating home-schooling in the United States). Finally, while the census of populations does not face the problem of small samples, it is not that recent (1998) and some may have reservations regarding the quality of government data. 10 The LEAPS census of schooling choice conducted in 2003 provides a rough check on these numbers (see appendix for details). This census was conducted in three districts of Punjab and villages were chosen randomly based on the criterion that each village must have at least one private school. Typically, this means that the villages lies somewhere between fully urban and fully rural populations and are not representative of the districts that they are in. Estimates from the LEAPS census show that as a percentage of enrolled children, the numbers in two of the three districts are slightly higher than those of the population census.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["LEAPS census"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["census of populations", "household-based survey"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "In the third (Rahim Yar Khan) there is a large difference, with the census reporting that 1 percent of all school-going children attended madrassas, and the LEAPS showing that the fraction is closer to 3. 7 percent (Table II). There are three potential explanations for this difference. First, the LEAPS data is not representative of the district and could be off the mark for districts with wide variation in madrassa enrollment across rural and urban samples. Second, the experience of the last five years could have varied dramatically across districts — in some, the enrollment fractions did not change and in others it increased substantially. Third, the data could point to systematic problems with the census estimates from certain districts, or the statistical problems that arise when we try to estimate low-probability events. 3. 3 Explaining the Differences A number of reasons could account for differences between the estimates presented here and those in the popular press. 1. Differences in the sampling unit. Our estimates are all based on household surveys — an interviewer goes to a household and asks about the enrollment status of every child. Some census estimates of home rather than religious schooling in the United States — the former ranges from 1 to 2 percent (Bauman 2001) while the latter is closer to 8 percent (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001). 10 In our own analysis, we find the quality of the data generated by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Pakistan to be consistently high. We have used the FBS Census of Private Schools (PEIP, 2000) to guide our fieldwork and feasibility study for LEAPS and found it tallied with the situation on the ground quite well, even in remote villages.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["FBS Census of Private Schools", "LEAPS"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["household surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "14 4. 1 Variation across Districts Pakistan is divided administratively into four provinces with 102 districts — Punjab, Balochistan, North-West Frontier Provinces (NWFP), and Sindh — plus the federal capital Islamabad, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the federally administered Northern Areas and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). The four provinces or Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and NWFP, together with Islamabad, account for more than 97 percent of the population. Geographically, parts of Balochistan, the NWFP and FATA border Afghanistan. Sindh and Balochistan are sparsely populated provinces, with the exception of Karachi in Sindh, which is the single biggest metropolis in the country with a population approaching 10 million. We use data from the population census, 1998, as well as the census of private schooling, 2000, to provide estimates of madrassa, private, and government school enrollment in each district except for those in the province of FATA. The geographical dispersion of madrassa enrollment depends on how we define madrassa prevalence. There are three alternatives. We could present a geographical breakdown of the total number of children enrolled in madrassas. This number is related to the total population of the district, and may thus reflect only the size of the district relative to others.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["population census, 1998", "census of private schooling, 2000"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Another option is to use the equivalent of the gross enrollment ratio (GER), defined as the total enrollment divided by the number of “ eligible ” children — in this case, children between the ages of 5-19. This statistic provides an estimate of the “ penetration ” of madrassas, but it does not take into account the overall enrollment decision of the family. Thus, a district with two children enrolled in madrassas, and 20 children enrolled in private or public schools out of a total of 100 children will have exactly the same gross enrollment ratio (GER) as a district with two children enrolled in madrassas and 98 children enrolled in regular schools. To the extent that we want to distinguish between these two districts, a third statistic, the ratio of children enrolled in madrassas to total enrollment (the madrassa fraction of enrollment or MFOE), can also be used. The picture changes dramatically depending on whether we use the raw numbers or the ratio of children enrolled in madrassas to total enrollment. However, since enrollment in madrassas is highly correlated with total enrollment, there is little difference in the pattern of madrassa enrollment whether we use the GER or the fraction of enrolled children in madrassas.

Although all districts report that less than 2. 5 percent of children in the relevant age group (children between the ages of 5 and 19) are going to madrassas, the Pashto speaking belt that borders Afghanistan stands out in terms of the popularity of madrassas as an educational choice. The notion that the madrassa movement coincided with resistance to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is supported by the 1998 data from the population census. The increase in the stock of religiously educated individuals starts with the cohort that came of age in 1979 (the year of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) and the largest increase is for the cohort co-terminus with the rise of the Taliban. Combined with the fact that the largest enrollment percentage in Pakistan is in the Pashtun belt bordering Afghanistan, this suggests events in neighboring Afghanistan influence madrassa enrollment.

The radical religiosity argument suggests that children are more likely to be sent to madrassas when the family favors a radical brand of Islam. If true, what are we to make of the fact that more than 75 percent of all households with a child in a madrassa also send a child to a public or private school? In a multivariate context we checked whether households identified as “ radically Islamic ” were more likely to send their child to a madrassa. 17 Again, we found no 16 The data from the LEAPS census asked about ethnic and caste identity, and households that classified themselves as “ Pathan ” or “ Afghani ” were used to represent Pashtun households.

Consequently, data on flows might be used to estimate stocks, for example in the absence of government data, the stock of refugees in many industrialized countries is estimated by UNHCR based on 10 years of individual asylum-seeker recognition. And, especially in the case of IDPs, changes in the total population combined with some contextual analysis, may be used to deduce estimates of new internal displacement or returns. However, these approximations are flawed unless data on all other flows (births, deaths, repatriation etc.) are also available, which is not usually the case.

A significant challenge with refugee registers is keeping them up to date. Individual registration can provide a robust snapshot of the stock of refugees and asylum-seekers, but registers need to be updated regularly to reflect flows, i. e. increases in refugee and asylum-seeker numbers (births, new arrivals) and decreases (deaths, departures, durable solutions).

Consequently, data from a refugee register may overestimate the number of refugees, requiring periodic corrective action through the verification of records. For example, in 2014 a verification of registration records for Somali refugees in the Dadaab camps in Kenya led to the deactivation of tens of thousands of records for individuals that are believed to have returned spontaneously to Somalia (UNHCR 2015).

Registration methodologies can vary across displacement situations. For example, families may be registered rather than individuals and the population estimated based on an assumption of average family size, which can differ among organizations (UNSD 2014). IDPs may be required to present documentation, meet specific criteria or re-register periodically to maintain their benefits, which affects aggregate numbers (IDMC 2015). For example, in Ukraine, pre-requisites for IDP registration (including valid documentation, arrival from a recognized conflict zone and permanent residence registration in recognized conflict zone) means that people displaced within a non-government controlled area, people displaced from a non- recognized conflict zone in a government controlled area, unaccompanied children or people without current / valid identification are not counted as IDPs (IDMC 2015).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["registration data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Furthermore, in some contexts, registration as an IDP can expire after a prescribed timeframe without regard to whether the person achieved a durable solution (e. g. after five years in Russia). The accuracy of IDP registers is greatly impacted by political considerations, particularly a government ’ s willingness to acknowledge internal displacement and to enable the humanitarian community to respond. Some countries may be reluctant to acknowledge the presence of IDPs, or may be inclined to understate numbers to demonstrate progress in military operations or limit assistance provided to IDPs. For example, in Kenya, registration of individuals displaced by the 2007 and 2008 post-election violence excluded ‘ integrated ’ IDPs, i. e. those who had sought refuge with host communities or rented accommodation in urban areas, as assistance was limited to registered IDPs. Alternatively, aggregate numbers of IDPs in particular countries may be inflated to suggest a deterioration of the situation or to maximize humanitarian assistance. Therefore, access to IDP areas and the willingness of IDPs to be counted may be largely dependent on government policies. These political considerations can lead to disagreements on the data, undermine cooperation and in some cases even lead to reduced humanitarian funding. Profiling of IDP situations Profiling of IDP situations is a collaborative process aimed at generating reliable data that can be broadly agreed upon. As a collaborative process, it can be a crucial tool for generating agreement on persistent questions such as who is recognized as internally displaced within a given context, what are the most prevalent vulnerabilities caused by displacement, and how do IDPs fare compared to host populations.

Profiling may utilize data collection techniques at individual, household and community levels, often combining population estimation methods, a review of secondary data, focus group discussions, household surveys and key informant interviews targeted specifically at forcibly displaced populations (UNSD 2014). 70 Profiling methods focus on displacement situations, rather than only on displaced populations, and therefore includes comparisons to conditions in the host population.

Additional challenges include unwillingness of IDPs to participate due to fear of persecution, and mobile populations (IDMC 2008). There may also be political pressures to inflate or reduce numbers. Population movement tracking systems In situations where the movement of displaced populations is fluid or continuous, a movement tracking system can be a useful tool for providing rough estimates of population flows, including recurrent displacements. Movement tracking systems are useful for monitoring fluid population movements (including spontaneous and organized, internal and cross-border, and returns and resettlement) in remote or inaccessible routes and locations (including displacement sites, places of origin, and places of return and resettlement). UNHCR, IOM and other organizations have developed methods for tracking and monitoring movements of IDPs in over 30 countries, particularly in cases of disaster-induced displacement, but also in some cases of conflict-induced displacement (UNSD 2014).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "These systems employ a combination of data collection techniques including key respondent interviews, focus group discussions, registration, observations and physical counts, samplings and other statistical methodologies. For examples, UNHCR ’ s population tracking systems identifies and trains local NGOs to monitor key locations such as IDP settlements, bus stations and roads to report on movements. The accuracy of data from movement tracking systems is subject to several caveats. These include: limited access to locations and routes due to insecurity; vast geographical areas to monitor; mixed population flows that include refugees, IDPs, pastoral and seasonal movements and economic migrants; massive population flows that overwhelm monitoring capacity; disinclination of individuals to provide information when there is no assistance being offered; pressures from communities to inflate figures to maximize future assistance; and political pressures to suppress accurate reporting on IDP movements. Additionally, due to the fluid nature of displacement in many contexts and the likelihood of recurring displacements, it is not possible to use movement data to provide estimates of population stocks. Population censuses National population and housing censuses often provide the most comprehensive source of population data and offer the potential for estimating numbers of forcibly displaced people.

There are several drawbacks of population censuses including their cost, the significant training required for enumerators to ensure consistent answers to questions on forced displacement, impediments to field operations and data processing (such as weather conditions and technical problems), the relative infrequency with which they are carried out, and the long processing time before data and statistics become available, which have consequences for the timeliness of data.

Sample surveys Sample surveys can potentially provide a rich source of data on forcibly displaced populations. Compared with censuses and registers, sample surveys allow more detailed questions to be asked about the characteristics and situations of households. If survey instruments identify displaced populations based on individuals ’ and households ’ self-reported migration history (including patterns and causes) they can enable the disaggregation of detailed data by displacement status (UNSD 2014).

Additional problems associated with the collection of data on border crossings include: (a) difficulties distinguishing migrants from other people crossing a border, such as tourists, commuters, traders and truck drivers; (b) lack of capacity of many border posts and officials to handle large migration flows; (c) less scrutiny and diligence of emigration flows compared with immigration flow; and (d) lack of tight controls at most borders and the high incidence of undocumented or irregular crossings (UNSD 2014).

In recent years, efforts have been made to improve data collection for IDPs living outside of camps by employing a range of techniques including: (a) profiling; (b) household surveys; (c) collecting information on IDPs who come to camps to visit family members or collect relief items; and (d) community outreach programs (Brookings 2013).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["Disaggregated data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "However, there is no consensus or agreed best practices on the use of these methods in different contexts or stages of displacement (Brookings 2013). 92 The absence of data on new displacement may simply mean that no displacement has taken place (IDMC 2016). 93 IDMC reports that data, disaggregated by age and sex, were available for 15 of the 60 countries it monitored in 2014, however these data were not comprehensive and are not published.

Options to improve forced displacement statistics Significant efforts are needed to enhance the reliability, comparability, quality and scope of the global data on forced displacement. In particular, more robust estimates are needed of the scale (stocks, flows and locations) and typology (demographics, location and accommodation) of forced displacement crises.

For example, new methodologies (such as high resolution satellite imagery and unmanned drones) may expand the coverage of data collection efforts in insecure or inaccessible areas. Additionally, new techniques could be explored to improve the collection of robust data on flows of refugees and IDPs. Organizations such as the World Bank, UNHCR, IOM and IDMC are already exploring and in some cases are beginning to use more innovative data collection tools. These techniques include: 99 Several standardized international sample surveys have been designed for special purposes including Living Standards Measurement Studies, Labor Force Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys.

(b) The use of mobile phones to conduct surveys or follow up interviews following face-to-face household surveys. For example, a Bank paper on the impact of the 2012 crisis in Mali on IDPs, refugees and returnees used information from a face-to-face household survey as well as follow-up interviews with its respondents via mobile phones. This combination provided a mechanism to monitor the impact of conflict on hard-to-reach populations who at times live in areas inaccessible to enumerators. And in Sierra Leone and Liberia, the Bank supported the use of mobile phones to collect key socio-economic data on the effects of the Ebola virus. (c) Crowdsourcing data on displacement. Platforms such as the Kenyan Ushahidi has crowd- sourced data on displacement in Kenya and eastern DRC by encouraging IDPs and host communities to report incidents using their mobile phones or the internet, including information about living conditions.

IDMC is pursuing big data approaches to capturing displacement data in real time in order to report on displacement situations as they are happening and to provide updates on how they are evolving (IDMC 2015). These data are not necessarily representative but can be used in conjunction with other methods to triangulate trends. For example, the Swedish NGO, Flowminder, has pioneered the use of de-identified data from mobile operators to track population displacement caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes in Haiti in 2010 and Nepal in 2015, and these techniques may also have applications in conflict-induced displacement crises. 100 (f) High-resolution satellite imagery and unmanned drones. High resolutions satellite imagery can be used to map physical structures in refugee and IDP camps including changes to the number and type of these over time, support the remote detection of displaced populations in hard to reach or insecure settings; and conduct rapid assessments during or immediately after a mass displacement (Harvard Humanitarian Initiative 2014).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["de-identified data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "In settings with clearly distinguishable individual structures, these methods can also be reasonably accurate for the purposes of rapid estimation of displaced population (Checchi, et al. 2013). 101 The use of unmanned drones is also becoming more popular as the cost of this technology falls.

(g) Open data initiatives. There are several initiatives to provide free and open data that enable Internet users to independently mine and analyze data and generate customized summaries, charts and visualizations. For example, the Bank has provided free, open access to its development data since the launch of its Open Data Initiative in 2010, however there is little open data on asylum-seekers, refugees and IDPs. JIPS has developed a web-based platform that allows users to explore, analyze and visualize profiling data online, and IDMC has 100 See http: / / www. flowminder. org /. 101 These methods are not effective in settings with connected structures, a complex pattern of roofs or multi-level buildings, as are prevalent in urban areas.

The findings show that the local availability of basic public schools does, in fact, increase intergenerational mobility in education. For instance, a one standard deviation increase in the supply of basic public schools per 1, 000 people reduces the father- son and mother-son associations of schooling by 18 – 20 percent and the father-daughter and mother-daughter asso­ciations by 33 – 44 percent.

According to the Barro and Lee educational attainment dataset, seven out of the top 20 countries in terms of increase in number of years of schooling from 1980 to 2010 were Arab countries (Barro and Lee 2013). 1 Jordan, the subject of this paper, had the seventh highest increase in educational attainment in the world, with an increase of about five years in the average years of schooling over the period. This increase is widely believed to be attributable to a massive public investment in the supply of schooling in the postindependence period in the context of a state-led development model, which virtually guaranteed employment in the public sector for graduates (Assaad 2014; Saleh 2016). The rapid increase in educational attainment has continued unabated despite the fall in returns to education that accompanied the demise in the state-led model and its employment guarantee schemes (Pritchett 2001). A slew of recent literature on the drivers of the Arab Spring protests, some of which occurred in Jordan, has identified the low economic returns to this massive increase in education as the single most important cause of the uprisings (Goldstone 2011; Campante and Chor 2012a, 2012b, 2014; Sanborn and Thyne 2014).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Barro and Lee educational attainment dataset"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Another way to view the connection between low return on education and youth frustrations is that the rapid intergenerational mobility in education has failed to yield similar mobility in either income or social status.

The school census provides the subdistrict, type, and date of establishment of every school in Jordan, allowing us to measure the local supply of each type of schools in each subdistrict in every year (under the presumption that there were no significant school closures or changes in type over time, which is likely the case). The exposure of an individual in the JLMPS 2010 sample to the supply of public schooling is then determined by the number of sex-appropriate basic (or secondary) public schools (per 1, 000 individuals) that were available to them in their subdistrict of birth at the time they were of age to enroll in that school level (six years of age for basic and 15 years for secondary).

Those are parents who would have chosen higher investment in the human capital of their offspring, but were constrained by the limited supply of schools in their subdistricts of residence and could not afford to send their children to more distant schools outside their jurisdiction or to provide them with homeschooling. However, the increase in public schools is expected to have less of an effect on richer or more educated parents, who are expected to provide education to their children regardless of the availability of schools in their subdistricts either by sending their children to distant schools or through homeschooling. On average, however, the increase in the local supply of public schools is expected to reduce the intergenerational correlation of educational attainment or enhance intergenerational educational mobility. III. DATA Two new and unique data sources are employed in the empirical analysis.

The empirical analysis is also performed by entering boys ’, girls ’, and mixed schools separately. 8 Measuring the local supply of public schools at the subdistrict of birth of the individual (i. e., the child) mitigates potential endogeneity originating from parents who had a higher taste for schooling moving to subdistricts where public schooling was more abundant when their child was of school age, although it is not possible to rule out that parents might have moved across subdistricts prior to the birth of their child.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["JLMPS restricted sample", "2010 Jordanian school census"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The JLMPS sample is restricted, after matching it to the 2010 school census, to individuals born in Jordan who are aged 25 to 70 in 2010 and who have nonmissing information on age, subdistrict of birth, years of schooling, father ’ s schooling, mother ’ s schooling, and local supply of schools in subdistrict of birth. 9 These exclusions resulted in a sample of 4, 139 males and 4, 131 females, which are referred to as the male and female full samples, respectively. 7. Because of the absence of annual estimates of subdistrict populations, the population used to normalize the supply of schooling at the subdistrict level is the 2004 population of the subdistrict.

While refugees benefited from the UNRWA basic schools, their educational attainment and intergenerational educational mobility were perhaps subject to a different set of constraints than those facing other Jordanians. Thus, as a robustness check, individuals who are likely to be Palestinian refugees were excluded from the sample. Since the JLMPS 2010 does not allow directly identifying Palestinian refugees who are now mostly Jordanian citizens, two indirect methods were employed to identify individuals who are likely to be Palestinian refugees. Method 1 excludes individuals born in subdistricts where the percentage of individuals who were ever enrolled (or are currently enrolled) in an UNRWA school exceeds ten percent out of all individuals below 36 years of age in the sample.

Data The data used in this paper have been collected through the Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS). 4 The baseline face-to-face interviews were executed between June and August 2014. The following 12 monthly interviews – from August 2014 until August 2015- were conducted using mobile phones. 5 The original sample comprised 501 respondents (51 % Male, 49 % Female) and was divided between internally displaced people (IDPs) located in the capital city Bamako, 6 refugees living in refugee camps in Mauritania and Niger, as well as returnees living in the regional capitals Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal in Northern Mali. This survey did not collect information on individuals who were never displaced. The attrition rate was very low, always around 1-2 % per wave. We need to stress that the locations were not randomly selected. Bamako was selected because it hosted a large number of IDPs. Furthermore, the main cities in the north of Mali were chosen to obtain a large sample of returnees given the funds available. Finally, a refugee camp was located in Niger since bureaucratic issues did not allow the inclusion of a camp in Burkina Faso. Nevertheless, households were selected randomly within each location.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Listening to Displaced People Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Having returned (early) to Northern Mali did not always lead to a stable condition either: the transition probabilities from returnee to IDP or to refugee are 1. 1 % and 0. 2 % respectively.

There are clear differences in migration decisions between ethnic groups. The reaction of most of Arab and Kel Tamasheq origin was to leave the country, while most Songhai people preferred to go south, to Bamako, or, by the time of our survey, had already returned to Northern Mali. In fact, as pointed out in (Etang-Ndip et al., 2015), IDPs and returnees have a similar ethnic composition because 94 % of returnees in our sample were IDPs. Far fewer returnees in the sampled cities of Gao, Tombouctou and Kidal returned from refugee camps in the neighboring countries for the simple reason that most refugees used to live in towns and villages outside the regional capitals of Northern Mali.

In particular, we would like to discover which characteristics are associated with the desire to return to Northern Mali. To this end, we estimated a probit model using the same regressors as in the previous sections. The dependent variable was set equal to one when the respondent was considering the possibility to eventually go back to the North, zero otherwise. The estimated marginal effects have been reported in Table 3 for all respondents (Column 1-2), as well as for only the household heads or their spouses (Column 3-4). The strongest predictor of a planned future return was refugee status: individuals living abroad in refugee camps were up to 25 percentage points more willing to go back than IDPs. Joining this result with those on unemployment presented in the descriptive statistics, we may wonder whether this desire to go back home may have resulted from a more general malaise experienced by these respondents forced to migrate and halted in a limbo not fully integrated with the local community and labor market.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["descriptive statistics"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "21 5. 5 Intention to return (Y / N) – Fixed-Effect This last empirical section represents an attempt to use the panel dimension of our data set to estimate causal effects. In particular, for 12 consecutive waves, refugees and IDPs were asked whether they were considering going back to Northern Mali in the subsequent month. We tried to test how employment, security and expectations affect these decisions. We did so by estimating a fixed-effect linear probability model (LPM). The estimated coefficients are shown in Table 6. Columns 1 and 2 have been estimated using the whole sample, while only respondents who were the household heads or the spouses were included in the regressions presented in Columns 3 and 4. The main conclusion is that being employed reduces the intention to go back to the regions in Northern Mali by around 8 percentage points. This result persists across all specifications, even when we control for immigration status, i. e., whether the individual is a refugee or an IDP. Indeed, refugees are more likely to be willing to go back. Estimating the same model for refugees and IDPs separately does not change our conclusions. In line with the previous findings, whether an individual felt safe during the day (or at night) did not affect the likelihood of planning to go back.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "However, another regressor indicates that security may still be pivotal: those who owned a weapon were up to 30 percentage points more likely to plan to go back. In addition to this, it is quite surprising that, if the respondent thought that the Northern Mali crisis was improving, he or she was less likely to plan a return to that area. From a technical point of view, we should point out that we have used an LPM even if the dependent variable was a binary outcome. This choice has been made since in this linear model it is straightforward to add fixed-effects. Furthermore, the coefficients can be interpreted as average partial effects. A simple logit or probit model would not have allowed the inclusion of individual fixed-effects because of the incidental parameter problem. An alternative approach would have been to estimate a conditional logit model. However, since the distribution of the fixed effects is unknown, it would not have been possible to estimate the average partial effects in this model, but only the effect of the regressors on the log-odds ratio. 13 We conclude by stressing that the monthly phone interviews were relatively short, so we did not have a rich panel data set. This may have led to omitted variable biases. Indeed, there may still be time varying factors which could have affected both the probability of being employed and the respondents ’ intentions to go back. Nevertheless, we believe that our model managed to control for 13 See (Wooldridge, 2010) page 639.

INTRODUCTION Refugees pose a massive moral, political and economic challenge for potential host countries. 1 The scale of the challenge is larger than ever, with 60 million people forcibly displaced by conflicts across the world (UNHCR, 2014). War in Syria has produced more refugees than any other conflict of the past two decades: around 4. 6 million have fled the country, with an additional 7. 6 million internally displaced. 2 About 2. 5 million Syrians have found refuge in Turkey, making it the largest refugee-hosting country worldwide. This paper combines newly available data on the distribution of Syrian refugees across Turkey and the Turkish Labour Force Survey to assess the impact on Turkish employment and wages. The large majority (85 percent) of Syrians have left the refugee camps and entered the Turkish labor market. 3 They are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits. This makes their arrival a well-defined supply shock to informal labor, and a particularly good context in which to test the predictions of basic economic theory. We instrument for refugee flows using travel distance between 13 origin governorates in Syria and 26 Turkish subregions (338 origin-destination pairs). This allows us to also control for distance from the Syrian border, and thus any confounding factors that are correlated with proximity to Syria.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Turkish Labour Force Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "8 permits and subsequently for the right to work. In practice, this is a long and cumbersome process and by late 2015 at most several thousand had been issued. 14 The economic impact of Syrian refugees in Turkey extends beyond changes in the potential labor supply of informal workers in important ways. There has been extensive humanitarian aid provided to the refugees, overwhelmingly by the Turkish government. Reportedly, by early 2015 the Turkish state had spent $ 6 billion (with total outside contributions $ 300 million). 15 Much of these funds have been spent on food, various services, non-food items such as medicines, clothing, shelter, and housing-related goods. In particular, there are 20 accommodation centers (camps) in 10 cities in Turkey. 2. 2 Data Sources We use the Turkish Household Labor Force Survey (LFS) micro-level data sets compiled and published by the Turkish Statistical Institute. The data contains a rich set of labor market variables along with individual-level characteristics and the region of residence. We primarily rely on two years of LFS data: 2011 (just before the arrival of the refugees) and 2014 (the last year available). 16 By design the LFS does not contain any information on Syrian refugees.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Turkish Household Labor Force Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey (AFAD) provides information on the number of Syrian refugees. The numbers used in this paper are taken from Erdogan (2014), who draws on information from AFAD and the Ministry of Interior and reports the number of refugees by NUTS 2 subregion. To construct our instrument we use the Syrian Labor Force Survey for 2010 (the year before the beginning of the war). Finally, Google Maps was used to derive the travel distance between each governorate in Syria and the most populous city in each NUTS 2 subregion in Turkey. 14 Most recently, in January 2016, labor market access for Syrian refugees in Turkey was eased considerably. Importantly, they now can benefit from vocational training under the Turkish Employment Agency, employers will be able have to Syrians comprise up to 10 percent of their staff, and seasonal workers are exempted from the work permit, see http: / / www. resmigazete. gov. tr / eskiler / 2016 / 01 / 20160115-23. pdf.

The reason is that female labor force participation is particularly low at about one-third. The majority of employment is private sector, around one-third of the working-age population, compared to 6 percent employed in the public sector. There are a large number of unpaid workers (7 percent) and unemployment is at 5 percent of the working-age population, an unemployment rate of about 10 percent. School attendance has been rising over the period, from 12 to 16 percent of the working-age population, and the fraction retired has been steady at about 5 percent. Correspondingly, educational attainment has been rising though still 13 percent of the working-age population has no formal education, 57 percent at least completed primary education but not high school, and high school completion has risen from 30 to 34 percent. 17 Of those who have an irregular workplace 60 percent are agricultural workers, 14 percent work in construction, 7 percent in transportation and 5 percent in retail and in manufacturing each, and 3 percent as household employees. 18 Note that in 2014 new regulations for the Household LFS were carried out within the framework of European Union criteria.

The largest source regions are Aleppo (36 percent), Idleb (21 percent) al-Raqqah (11 percent), Lattakia (9 percent), and Hamah (8 percent). Consistent with travel distance being a good predictor of refugee flows to Turkey, 80 percent of respondents report that they chose to flee to Turkey, instead of another country, due to the ease of transportation.

There are 183 groups since we exclude groups containing less than 40 observations. 24 An additional advantage of the IV approach is that it helps deal with measurement problems. Despite the improved measures of refugee numbers in Turkey by subregion starting in 2014, there is likely considerable measurement error, resulting in attenuation bias in the OLS estimates. For the IV estimates to be consistent, it is only necessary that- conditional on the fixed effects and control variables- the flows of Syrian refugees are uncorrelated with the instrument. 25 Using data from AFAD (2013) we can also weight the aggregate refugee numbers using the Syrian source governorates of refugees in 2012-13 (see Figure 2). Results are qualitatively robust to this alternative instrument and first-stage F-statistics about the same.

Net population growth is estimated at the level of NUTS 2 subregions. Population inflows to a subregion are estimated at the individual level (and standard errors clustered by subregion- year).

The first column presents the estimates for the whole sample, subsequent columns for different sub-samples by gender, age and education. For the full sample the net population growth in a subregion is positively correlated with refugee flows, while the IV point estimate is negative (though neither estimate is statistically significant). The probability of a Turkish person migrating to a subregion is negatively correlated with refugee flows (the OLS estimate is highly statistically significant). The IV estimate is of a similar magnitude, but no longer statistically significant. This same pattern broadly holds for both women and men.

PLACEBO TESTS AND ROBUSTNESS CHECKS 5. 1 Placebo Tests The key threat to the validity of our instrument is that there are subregion specific economic trends that are correlated with the instrument, and not fully controlled for by the inclusion of the log distance of a Turkish subregion from the Syrian border. A priori this seems unlikely since the instrument is also based on travel distances, but we can test for the existence of such trends in a pre-period. Specifically, we run regressions that are analogous to those reported in Tables 5, 6 and 7 using data from the LFS 2009 and 2011. As a placebo test we pretend that the Syrian refugees had arrived between 2009 and 2011, rather than between 2011 and 2014, to see if the instrument is correlated with Turkish outcomes in this pre-period. Table 10a presents the results of our placebo tests. For the overall sample there is no statistically significant trend that is correlated with subsequent (instrumented) refugee flows in formal or informal employment, or in log wages.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["data from the LFS 2009 and 2011"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "As expected the positive correlation between refugee flows and 2011 school attendance rates is significant at the one percent significance level (controlling for the gender, age and education composition of a subregion the point estimate is- 0. 17). Even once we instrument for refugee flows the correlation remains significant at the one percent significance level (a point estimate of- 0. 30). However, once we control for the log distance for the Syria border there is no longer a statistically significant relationship, in either the OLS or IV, between school attendance rates in 2011 and subsequent refugee flows. This suggests that, on account of the inclusion of our distance from the border control, we can rule out the 2012 education reform confounding our estimates. 5. 3 Robustness to Varying Sample of Turkish NUTS 2 Subregions Throughout this paper we use all 26 NUTS 2 subregions of Turkey for identification. However, the results are robust to varying the particular sample of subregions. We report results for two alternative samples. First, we drop the Gaziantep subregion from the estimation. Gaziantep has the highest refugee to population ratio among all regions and reportedly towns with a refugee share of over 30 percent. The inclusion of Gaziantep may skew results if there are any non-linearities in the impact of refugees. Second, we follow Ceritoglu et al. (2015) in only considering nine subregions of Turkey. These are the five Syrian border regions of southeastern Anatolia (Hatay, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Mardin, and", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["school attendance rates"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Women experience particularly pronounced displacement in the informal sector and no formal job gains. In contrast, for men displacement in the informal sector is fully offset by employment growth in formal sector, with no net job losses. Clearly, our main findings do not depend on the particular sample of subregions we analyze, and importantly are robust to restricting the analysis to a more homogenous group of regions. 6. CONCLUSIONS This paper combines newly available data on the 2014 distribution of 1. 6 million Syrian refugees across subregions of Turkey and the Turkish LFS, to assess the impact on Turkish labor market conditions. The Syrian refugees in Turkey are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits, and so their arrival was a well-defined supply shock to informal labor. Consistent with economic theory our IV estimates, which also control for distance from the Turkish-Syrian border, suggest large-scale displacement of natives in the informal sector. At the same time, consistent with occupational upgrading, there are increases in formal employment for the Turkish. This increase though only occurs among men without completed high school education. The employment patterns of women and the high-skilled mean they are not in a good position to take advantage of lower cost 36 Results are also robust to dropping all subregions with close to no refugees.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Turkish LFS"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Anderson, J.

Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region in the world, and the world ’ s fastest-growing. Between 2010 and 2025, the number of people between 15 and 24 will grow to 250 million – a net increase of nearly 50 percent. Over the next decade, roughly one million young people will enter the labor market each month in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, these young people often enter the labor market too early and unprepared. Although access to education is growing, illiteracy remains high and schooling low: among the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries in the Barro-Lee (2010) data set, nearly 40 percent of women aged 15 and above have received no education at all; and the most recent (2007-2011) statistics in the World Bank ’ s Edstats data reveal that female literacy is less than 60 percent, on average. 1 This lack of preparedness contributes to a growing problem of youth unemployment. Quantifying the level of unemployment is bedeviled by lack of data and measurement issues. Household and labor force surveys throughout Africa usually record unemployment rates of less than 10 percent, 2 but those figures belie the extent of underemployment and vulnerability. Those same surveys indicate that the vast majority of working adults have insecure work in the informal sector, on the family farm, or in less- productive or unremunerated labor.

Among young women (15-24) in Liberia, the unemployment rate is 8 percent, double the rate among young men (LISGIS 2010). Most of these gaps can be explained by differences across individuals, especially in educational attainment, skills training, and years of experience. But segregation, market segmentation, and discrimination do play a role in determining these individual characteristics. Women have fewer opportunities for education or training, less access to credit, a larger share of domestic responsibilities, and less independence and control over their own lives. In Liberia, women comprise half of the employed, but only about one-quarter of paid employment (LISGIS 2011). Fourteen years of civil war in Liberia devastated the country ’ s infrastructure and institutions, and left a generation of young people with very low levels of education and training.

Given their initial disadvantage relative to their male peers, and the sources of this disadvantage in social norms, market failures, and poorly functioning institutions, adolescent girls may require targeted policy and program efforts to achieve better outcomes. However, as in many other post-conflict situations, emergency skills training and public works programs in Liberia have targeted male youth ex- combatants, likely reinforcing rather than reducing adolescent girls ’ disadvantage.

In addition, it may be that the constraints facing young people are not in the labor market itself, but in other markets, such as for credit. The vast majority of jobs programs have focused on the supply side: training programs make up about 79 percent of over 600 cases included in the World Bank ’ s Youth Employment Inventory database. 3 Although rigorous and general evidence of success is limited, it seems that successful skills training programs share a few key features: they are responsive to local market conditions, they provide more than just technical skills in a specific area (including, for example, “ life skills ”), and they include ancillary services that alleviate other constraints preventing successful labor market integration (e. g., access to credit).

First, we are interested in the economic outcomes of EPAG participants in terms of employment, earnings, and savings and investment behaviors. Second, because of the program ’ s focus on young women, a variety of non- economic outcomes are explored. Early evidence suggests that empowerment in one realm (e. g., schooling) can have important impacts on other realms, such as early pregnancy, prevalence of STDs, and risky behaviors such as transactional sex (Baird 2010). Related to these non-economic outcomes are measures of social empowerment, including mobility, decision-making, and self-confidence, which are thought to strengthen women ’ s agency, or capacity to exert choice over decisions involving herself, her family, and her community. Finally, we investigate a third set of outcomes on spillover effects. Evidence suggests that women tend to invest more of their income in their families, especially their children, than do men (e. g. World Bank 2001, Hoddinott 1995, Pitt 1998, Borges 2007). Advocates frequently argue for increased investment in adolescent girls by pointing to the potential for spillovers onto other family members (including future children).

Self-assessed measures of self-confidence show huge gains, as does ownership and control over monetary resources such as savings. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the EPAG project including some of its innovative design features and implementation details. Section 3 reviews the methodology of the evaluation and Section 4 presents results on the three groups of outcomes discussed above: economic, empowerment, and spillovers. Section 5 includes a short discussion of cost-effectiveness. Section 6 presents a series of robustness checks and Section 7 concludes with a discussion of next steps and policy implications. 2. The EPAG Project The EPAG project is part of a larger Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) administered by the World Bank with support from the Nike Foundation and the Governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Launched in Washington DC in October 2008, the AGI was spearheaded by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who signed on to undertake the initiative ’ s first pilot project in Liberia. The Liberian pilot was launched in March 2010 and has served as a role model to seven subsequent pilot projects in Rwanda, South Sudan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Haiti, Jordan, and Lao PDR. Under the global AGI, young women and adolescent girls are given a package of skills training and complementary services in order to facilitate their successful transition to employment.

Hence the application process relied primarily on self-reported data. To counter the likelihood that applicants would give false information in order to gain entry into the program, the eligibility criteria were not made public; the mobilization and outreach campaigns did not specify the precise age or education requirements for the program. During the recruitment events, each applicant had to physically present herself, fill out an application form specifying her age, education history, and residence.

More than 40 % of households are headed by females, and the average household has slightly fewer than five members.

The AGI program has focused on the development and measurement of these softer attributes that matter for employment as well as those that matter more to the individual, such as self-confidence and empowerment.

Cost Effectiveness Although the first task of any evaluation is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention – that is, whether or not the program actually has a measurable and attributable impact – this is not enough to recommend the program to policymakers. This requires also that the program can show that it is worth spending scarce public resources to do it. Ideally, a program worth doing will be both effective and cost- effective. One can measure cost-effectiveness in terms of the number of physical outputs produced or outcomes achieved, e. g. the number of people employed per dollar spent, or one can measure achievements in terms of the value of the benefits acquired relative to the amount of money spent.

Robustness Checks 6. 1. Sample attrition Many challenges were encountered during survey implementation, due to the context – the densely populated and impoverished communities in and around Monrovia are difficult settings in which to find and track respondents — as well as the transience of a young study population. Despite vigorous efforts to track and interview each individual in the sample, a certain amount of survey attrition was expected. As the survey response rates in Table 1 show, 1622 (or 80 %) of the individuals in the study sample were successfully interviewed in both the baseline and midline surveys. Another 305 respondents were interviewed at baseline but not at midline and hence are not in the panel used for the analysis in this paper. 27 This survey attrition, while not much higher than other program evaluations in Africa, may cause concern that the results of this evaluation are biased, especially if the loss to follow up is correlated with individual characteristics that might affect the outcomes. To address this concern, Table 10 presents regressions on the likelihood of panel inclusion, that is, the likelihood of being interviewed at both baseline and midline. The first column indicates that treated individuals are significantly more likely than control to have been interviewed twice. This result persists even after controlling for individual characteristics and community dummies.

To further investigate whether these characteristics lead to differential attrition between the treatment and control groups, we interact treatment with particular characteristics at baseline. Columns 5 and 6 show that, conditional on being in the control group, the most likely predictor of attrition is having a child. By itself, being a mother does not predict attrition, but when interacted with treatment, we see that control group mothers are more likely to have dropped out of the panel than their treated counterparts. Employment at baseline, while positively correlated with attrition, does not differentially affect treated and untreated individuals. Because the differential attrition between treatment and control groups may bias our results, we use Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) as outlined in Wooldridge (2002) to adjust the estimates of our key outcomes, using the inverse probability of inclusion in the panel as a probability weight. As a first step, we use the probit model in Column (6) of Table 10 to regress the likelihood of being observed twice on baseline individual characteristics, including those likely to affect attrition, such as employment and parental status. In the second step, we use the inverse of the predicted values from that probit model as probability weights to redo the difference-in-difference regressions for our key outcomes of interest. This method gives more weight to the individuals with the highest chance of attrition, giving them more influence on the estimate of the impact than those with a low probability of attrition. The results are reported in Table 11. The results show a high degree of similarity between the original (unadjusted) and the adjusted estimates. Across all outcomes, the point estimates and standard errors vary only slightly. 27 Of these 305 cases, nine are dropped from the attrition analysis because the household head was not interviewed at baseline, hence the household level control variables are not available. 23 Usage context: supporting mention, primary mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The EPAG program, which delivered six months of classroom-based skills training followed by six months of job placement support for either self or wage employment, led to a 47 % increase in employment and 80 % growth in earnings, relative to a randomly selected control group of non-participants.

These impacts vary somewhat but remain consistently positive and significant across almost all communities, educational backgrounds, and wealth levels. The highest impacts were obtained for those in the middle of the wealth distribution, and for girls with higher educational levels, which is consistent with the program ’ s initial screening for young women with basic literacy who would be able to make use of a classroom-based skills course. These strong impacts on employment and earnings translated into positive impacts in other realms of the participants ’ lives. Our results show striking improvements in various empowerment measures, including access to and control over monetary resources, including savings, where the program led to a sizeable difference of 35 USD in savings between treated and control individuals. The study also documents significant improvements in a wide range of subjective outcomes including measures of worry, life satisfaction, self-regulation, self-confidence, and self-perceptions of social abilities. In the area of fertility and sexual behaviors, the results paint a somewhat more nuanced picture. The EPAG program had no discernible effect on the desired number of children or on the actual number of children, conditional on having any children. There was a weak reduction in the likelihood of having any children, and a stronger increase in the likelihood of being pregnant, even after excluding those who were pregnant at baseline.

The confessional system of governance has heavily impeded the equitable and efficient distribution of investments and public services. Provision and targeting of public services tend to be guided by considerations of confessional quotas and electoral geography rather than needs- based service delivery that favors the poor. In the absence of effective state institutions, sectarian organizations have played a key role in the provision of social services such as education, health, and welfare support to the most vulnerable groups linked to their electorates, thus deepening a sense of discriminatory and inequitable system (World Bank, 2016; Kraft et al., 2008).

Non-selected youth are more likely to be older, more educated (hold more academic degrees), come from Beqaa and Nabatiye, and have parents with intermediate education (grade 7 to 9). Selected youth are more likely to be males, younger, students, come from Mount Lebanon and the North, and have mothers with university education. Both groups appear balanced on key outcomes related to soft skills, tolerance values, and labor market outcomes. The exception is that non-selected youth exhibited a better sense of belonging to the Lebanese community and selected youth were more likely to have been unpaid employees (interns) at the time of baseline data collection. In addition to comparing means of observable characteristics, the study also tested for the differences in the statistical distributions of key outcomes using two sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of the equality of distributions. Results indicate that the only key outcome for which there is a statistically significant difference in its distribution between the treatment and comparison groups at baseline is the sense of belonging to the Lebanese community.

This allows us to provide the two extreme possible scenarios for estimated impacts had data been successfully collected for attritors. Second, we use the Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) procedure to establish narrower bounds that might provide a better sense of whether there is a robust treatment effect.

Measuring social cohesion values in large-scale surveys is challenging. We are unable to use extensive measures, but rely instead on brief measures adapted from Harb (2010). The tolerance measure relies on a series of 12 questions, each of which is ranked on a four-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 12 and 48 points. The sense of belonging to the Lebanese community measure consists of 18 questions, each of which is ranked on a seven-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 18 and 126. Thus, higher scale values indicate higher tolerance values and a stronger sense of belonging to the Lebanese community.

Additionally, it was a relatively simple scale with no need for special training to administer it or to analyze the results of the scale. 17 These skills include: awareness of one ’ s own styles of communication; understanding and valuing different styles of communication; practicing empathy; adjusting one ’ s own styles of communication to match others'styles.

At baseline, half of the selected and non-selected volunteers were active and searching for a job. Among them, 49 percent reported being unemployed, 31 percent wage employed, 13 percent employed in unpaid jobs, and 7 percent self-employed (see table 1).

In Ghana, the government linked increases in the VAT rate explicitly to the new public spending programs, such as the Ghana Education Trust (GET) Fund in 2002 and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2003 which enjoyed broad public support. The government used strategic communication to make this link in order to avoid major public protests, such as the Kume Preko protests that greeted the introduction of the VAT in 1995 and left several people dead (Osei, 2000; Prichard, July 2009). Similarly, Ghana ’ s government linked the introduction of a talk tax on mobile phone calls to efforts to combat youth unemployment, which helped to curb public opposition (Prichard, July 2009). 3. 1 Is donor and non-state actor service provision likely to undermine the fiscal contract?

Africa is an especially good place to examine these issues because of the large amount of variation both within and across African countries in the extent to which non-state actors, donors and other states are active in service provision and the extent to which governments are relatively effective and fair. Government responsiveness, corruption and reliance on non-public resources vary considerably among localities with consequences for citizen understanding of and relationship to government (Gibson and Hoffman, 2005).

A question prob- ing respondents on their household income was not included in the fourth round of Afrobarometer surveys. Asking respondents to quantify their in- come can be problematic in the context of developing economies, where in- dividuals are often embedded in barter or commodity exchange, rather than, market economies. There are, however, reasonably good proxies including whether respondents own a television, radio, car, and mobile phone, and use the internet. Age, education, employment, and urban or rural residence are demographic factors that also affect household resources. 6. 2. 2 Experience with Paying Taxes or Fees It is difficult to assess just how ubiquitous taxes are in ordinary Africans ’ lives. There has not been any systematic effort to take stock of the types and amount of taxes citizens pay across Africa.

The types and amount of taxes citizens pay varies both within and be- tween countries. We do know there are taxes on agricultural crops, but the rates and processes of collection vary within countries (Kasara, 2007). User fees from electricity, water, sanitation, and other services comprise the major- ity of local revenue in South Africa (Hoffman, 2007).

One question probes respondents on how often ordinary people who break the law go unpunished. The other probes respondents on how often officials who commit crimes go unpunished.

We combine a unique dataset on refugee camps with individual data from the Afrobarometer Surveys across 23 African countries for the 2005 — 2016 period. We construct two standard measures of ethnic diversity: indices of ethnic fractionalization (EF) and ethnic polarization (EP). Ethnic fractionalization measures the probability that two individuals drawn from the society at random will belong to two different ethnic groups and thus increases with the number of ethnic groups present. Ethnic polarization captures antagonism between individuals and is maximized when the society is divided into two equally sized and distant ethnic groups. Although these indices have been widely used, little variation over time has been found, making causal inference difficult. The innovative aspect of our analysis is that we use data on the precise locations of refugee camps, their yearly size, and — most importantly — their annual composition in terms of countries of origin. Combined with the Ethnic Power Relations- Ethnicity of Refugees 2019 dataset, we are able to predict changes in ethnic diversity induced by refugee inflows. We then assess the relationship between refugee diversity and the likelihood of conflict. In an additional analysis, we also assess how refugee-induced changes in diversity affect the incidence of theft and violence, participation in protests, and perceptions of ethnic attachment, inter-personal trust, and institutional trust.

Below we describe how these data have been used to define our main variables of interest and present some descriptive statistics in Table B. 2. 11 Conflict. In Equation 1, we first relate variation in ethnic diversity with data on conflict from ACLED (Linke et al., 2010). Two main definitions are used: the incidence of conflict and the intensity of conflict. Incidence is captured by an indicator equal to one if conflict occurred in a particular year within a pre-defined buffer around cluster j. Intensity is measured by summing the number of conflict events occurring in a particular year within the same buffer area. A conflict event is defined as a single altercation wherein force is used by one or more groups for a political end (Linke et al., 2010). We further describe events (non-exclusively) as violent events, non-violent events, violence against civilians, and riots. In our main analysis, we focus on violent conflicts (Section 5. 1) and report results for other outcomes as robustness tests (Section 5. 3). In doing so, we follow a recent and large literature that has combined the ACLED dataset with geographically disaggregated data in Africa (Besley and Reynal-Querol, 2014; Berman and Couttenier, 2015; Michaelopoulos and 11Panel A of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for the data from refugee-hosting areas specifically, whereas panel B of Table B. 2 shows descriptive statistics for our data in all covered areas. 11 Usage context: background mention, primary mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["data on conflict from ACLED"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Papaioannou, 2016; Berman et al., 2017; Harari and Ferrara, 2018; Eberle et al., 2020; McGuirk and Burke, 2020b). As a further robustness check, we also use data on conflict incidence and intensity from the UCDP, which uses a more conservative definition of conflict. The UCDP dataset is manually curated and compiled with automated computer assistance (Sundberg and Melander, 2013). The UCDP defines an armed conflict event as “ an incident where armed force was used by an organized actor against another organized actor, or against civilians, resulting in at least one direct death at a specific location and a specific date ” (Pettersson et al., 2020). We extract daily event observations from the UCDP dataset if the location of the actual event is exactly known, the event location is within a radius of less than 25 km around a known point, or at least the administrative district where the event happened is known. As pointed out by Eberle et al. (2020), the UCDP events are more likely to capture violence between large-scale and more structured groups.

Ideally, we would have liked to construct our local diversity indices based on census data. However, such data are not available on an annual basis and only a minority of African countries include ethnicity questions on their censuses (Robinson, 2017).

In theory, this should make it more difficult to observe the true relationship between ethnic diversity and some outcomes at the local level. Diversity indices are more likely to be measured with noise in highly diverse communities at the local level. We nonetheless argue that such a concern should not be overestimated, for three reasons. First, such noise cannot easily explain the contrast between the coefficients corresponding to the pre-revised and revised indices and the opposite results found for the revised refugee fractionalization and the revised polarization. This set of results can be explained by the fact that our identification comes from the annual changes in refugees flows. Second, the IV approach is likely to deal with the measurement errors if they are correlated with our main variables of interest. Our IV estimates therefore capture a local average treatment effect coming from the plausibly exogenous increase in annual refugee flows of particular ethnic groups. The similarity of the IV results to the OLS results supports this interpretation. Third, at the cost of introducing attenuation bias30, we also aggregate the number of conflict events at the regional level. Lines B and C of Table 7 confirm the negative and positive effects found for the revised fractionalization and polarization indexes, respectively, whether or not 30Another risk highlighted by Robinson (2017) is the fact that ethnic diversity may also capture different theoretical mechanisms at aggregated levels. 34 Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["Afrobarometer sample data"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "of the groups and the distances between them.

Despite border changes, all migrants are assigned to this master set so that migrations can be meaningfully tracked over time. These assignments, especially in cases where only aggregate data are available, are made using several alternative propensity measures based either on a destination country ‘ s propensity to accept international migrants or on an origin country ‘ s propensity to send migrants abroad. Cases of omitted data occur when destination countries do not collect or publicly disseminate the information on migrants. When data from census rounds are missing altogether, the approach taken depends on the extent of the omission (see appendices 3 and 4).

These estimates are based on international bilateral migrant stock data that the authors also provide, although many of the data are derived from the Trends in International Migration (OECD 2002). This report, published annually since 1973, was arguably the most comprehensive guide to international migration for many years and has been the basis for many studies (see, for example, Mayda 2007).

Where both censuses and population registers are available, censuses receive priority. Censuses, generally conducted decennially, are retrospective tools for surveying an entire population (or in some cases, a representative sample) at a single point in time. In addition to their universal coverage, their greatest strength is the inclusion of questions on place of birth and nationality. Censuses also typically aim to enumerate the resident population, whether documented or undocumented (Bilsborrow and others 1997). So although some migrants have a strong incentive to provide false information to enumerators, many undocumented migrants will be captured in these matrices. 7 The size and scope of the census questionnaires vary enormously, both over time and in different destination countries. And there is potential variation in the quality of censuses both across countries and over time. Richer countries have many resources at their disposal to design questionnaires, train interviewers, employ statisticians, and disseminate results. Researchers have little choice but to accept the data at face value. However, where the underlying census is clearly substandard (when there are errors that are obviously not coding errors or not easily corrected), these data are omitted from the analysis.

Some census questionnaires ask for a specific country of birth and others simply ask for a general geographic region, such as Africa. Even if the original questionnaire asked detailed questions, some countries disseminate data only on how many residents were born abroad or have foreign citizenship. In general, three types of migrant origin are observed in the disseminated census data:  Specific geographic regions: Some of these correspond to exactly one of the 226 countries and territories in the master list. Others pertain to localities that tend to be obscure territories, islands, or regions, such as the Isle of Man or Ceuta.  Aggregate geographic regions: These correspond to two or more countries or territories in the master list. They can be continents (such as Africa), parts of continents (such as South Asia), political alliances (European Union), or other classifications (such as Other Ex-French Africa; Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco; and Melanesia). The data for these aggregate regions need to be allocated to the 226 countries in the master list. The details of the procedures are discussed below.  Miscellaneous categories: These include refugees, stateless, and born at sea. There are generally no geographic correspondences for these. Thousands of geographic regions and categories emerged from the more than one thousand individual destination country sources chosen for the analysis.

An important contribution of the current work is in estimating the gender breakdown of all migrants in destination countries in the global migration matrices. Similar to the allocation from aggregated categories in the Global Migration Database to specific origins in the master list, two measures are used for calculating gender splits; they are described in appendix 5.

For each decade, therefore, the overall percentage contribution of the raw bilateral data to the total is calculated (table 6). 23 In each census round, at least 92 percent of all those categories are derived from the raw data. { Table 6 here} Simulating Missing Data Finally, to examine the reliability of the estimated missing census data and test the methodologies, several scenarios are assumed.

For example, this study uses the 1966 data for Australia, whereas Trends in International Migrant Stock reports data for 1970. Overall, however, the fact that the totals are remarkably close in every decade adds credence to the estimates here. IV. THE EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL BILATERAL MIGRATION The greatest strengths of the global migration matrices are their bilateral coverage, the number of decades covered, and the disaggregation by gender. These data are too rich for a full analysis of all movements between all pairs of countries. Instead, this section summarizes the major trends in the evolution of bilateral migrant stocks, based primarily on World Bank regions. 25 Global Trends The migration matrix for the 1960 census round reflects a realigning world in the postcolonial era. Over the 1960-2000 period, the composition of world migration 25 Appendix 1 details the World Bank regions: South Asia, East Asia and Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Central Asia, and Middle East and North Africa.

We also investigate a number of factors that may influence the choice of migration destination but have not received much attention in the existing literature. Fafchamps and Shilpi (2009) have shown that the subjective welfare cost of geographical isolation is high. To investigate this issue, we include regressors controlling for population density and for the average distance to various amenities. Fafchamps and Shilpi (2008) have further shown that migrants are concerned with their welfare relative to that of their birth district as well as to that in their destination location. We examine whether relative welfare considerations influence the choice of migration destination. Additional controls include distance and prices. The empirical analysis is conducted using LSMS survey data as well as the 2001 population Census data from Nepal. The diverse terrain of Nepal along with geographical variation in amenities makes it ideal for our study. The mountainous nature of Nepal means that the country faces daunting challenges in the provision of transport and energy infrastructure. These challenges are unique to Nepal, however. Similar constraints are faced by many developing countries — or regions within such countries.

To eliminate this bias, we use past data to estimate the income regression.

See Train (2003), Chapter 3 for a detailed discussion. The estimation of models with correlated errors across choices requires either multiple integration or the use of Bayesian estimation techniques relying on Gibbs sampling. With a choice of over 70 possible destinations, multiple integration is out of the question. Gibbs sampling remains a possibility but would require extensive programming. We choose instead to keep the logit approach but to correct the standard errors for possible correlation in errors across choices. In our case the possible efficiency gain achieved by Bayesian methods does not appear to justify the programming cost. 7The effect could be negative — e. g., congestion — or positive — e. g., agglomeration externalities. 10 Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["past data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "To this effect, we replace yh i with yh i / yi in equation (1) and proceed as outlined above.

For migrants, the prospect of forming a large, successful household is likely to be one of the purposes of migration. 10The 1995 / 96 NLSS survey adopted the following sampling strategy. Within each district a small number of wards were selected at random. Within each ward, 12 randomly selected households were interviewed.

Building on a growing literature documenting the relationship between subjective welfare and relative income, Fafchamps and Shilpi (2008) show that Nepalese households care about their consumption level relative to that of others in the same location. If this is the case, it is conceivable that migrants choose their destination not so much for the absolute gain in income it may provide but for the gain in relative status that would ensue. For instance, if returns to education and ability are higher in an urban setting, an educated individual may improve his relative position in society by moving from a rural to an urban setting. To investigate this possibility, we estimate equation (4) using the log of relative income (or relative consumption) as dependent variable and construct a predicted relative income measure using the same formula (5). These are shown in the second panel of Table 1. Theories of work migration predict that individuals move to increase their utility or welfare. The 1995 / 96 NLSS asked respondents a number of questions regarding their subjective satisfac- tion level with various dimensions of consumption — namely, food, clothing, housing, health care, and child schooling.

The religion proximity index is not significant.

Routine screening (also called routine enquiry) Research indicates that without routine screening, providers typically identify only a fraction of women requiring assistance with physical or sexual abuse. Routine screening for violence has increasingly been considered the standard of care within women ’ s health services in the United States and other industrialized countries (American Medical Association, 1992; Buel, 2001). However, a vigorous debate has erupted over the benefits and risks of routine screening, particularly in resource-poor settings (Ramsay et al., 2002; Garcia Moreno, 2002). Some argue that routine screening may harm women in settings where providers are unprepared to respond appropriately, where privacy and confidentiality cannot be ensured, and where adequate referral services do not exist.

Most are run by NGOs, but they often depend on court- mandated attendance as an alternative to criminal sanctions. Most batterer programs have been carried out in high-income countries, but increasingly they have been implemented by developing country NGOs, such as the Instituto Noos in Brazil (White, Greene, and Murphy, 2003) and CORIAC in Mexico (Morrison and Biehl, 1999). Many studies have evaluated these programs ’ effectiveness in high-income countries, but most evaluations have been methodologically flawed. The only randomized controlled trial to date was carried out by the United States Navy, which found no reduction in abuse compared with controls (Dunford, 2000). Battered women often identify treatment or counseling for their husbands as a high priority (e. g. Ellsberg, 2001b), but it remains to be seen whether cost-effective strategies for changing batterer behavior can be found.

Ultimately, researchers concluded that-- similar to other types of empowerment initiatives-- micro-credit programs appear to work in two directions at once. On the one hand, they reduce women's vulnerability to violence by strengthening their access to resources and making women's lives more public; on the other hand, they may increase the risk of violence by challenging patriarchal norms and escalating conflict in the household. Some micro-credit programs are trying to reduce the potential risks of exacerbating violence associated with micro-credit. For example, RADAR (South Africa) has integrated HIV / AIDS and gender-based violence prevention into an existing microcredit program for women in poor rural communities.

A simple comparison between refugees and Ugandan households demonstrates that refugees lag with regards to selected characteristics found to narrow the poverty gap. For example, refugees are less likely to have access to land than Ugandans. If refugees have access to land, the majority do not own it, but have user rights. The size of land also differs a lot among Ugandan and refugee households. Most Ugandans have at least 0. 05 hectare per capita, while the majority of refugees have less than 0. 05 hectare per capita. Refugee heads of household are also less likely to work and less likely to be literate compared to their Ugandan counterparts. Refugees have higher shares of children and elderly in household size compared to Ugandans.

Given that the WFP provisions are the only reliable rations that refugees receive, we approximate a cash transfer of 450 taka per week to at least double potential weekly consumption. Relative to the wealth refugees possess, 450 taka per week is likewise sizeable: average baseline savings is 195 taka, with the median refugee reporting zero taka in savings. Average baseline borrowing (typically in the form of store credit) is 1, 600 taka, with a median of 600 taka. Refugees have no economically meaningful assets that may be more common among the rural poor, such as land or cattle, given the unanticipated displacement which forced them from their homes. Relative to other employment opportunities, average reported pay is 300 taka per day for less than three days. The monthly cash transfer is therefore more than double what a refugee might expect from alternative employment if he or she is fortunate enough to secure a job. 4 Data Collection and Survey Instruments Timeline and survey instruments We collected data via a baseline, commencing in November 2019, and endline survey, commencing in February 2020, as well as seven midline surveys conducted prior to payment disbursal each week.

Main outcome variables Our primary outcome of interest is psychosocial well-being, which we assess through an index of seven mental and social health measures, henceforth re- ferred to as the psychosocial (PS) index: depression, stress, life satisfaction, locus of control, sociability, self-worth, and stability. Our measures of depression, stress, life satisfaction, and locus of control are drawn from standard screening tools (PHQ-9, Cohen ’ s Perceived Stress Scale, Diener ’ s Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Levenson Multidimensional Internal Locus of Control Scales, respectively) adapted for sensitivity to the Rohingya camp context. The PHQ, our depression screening tool, has been validated against antidepressant medica- tion (L ¨ owe et al., 2006) and employed in the cross-section among refugee populations (Poole et al., 2018) as well as in experimental evaluations of psychotherapy programs in South Asia (Patel et al., 2017; Bhat et al., 2021).

Specifically, we construct an index of self-worth from two questions designed to elicit respondents ’ beliefs about how they contribute to their family and community. Finally, we adapt the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale (Cantril, 1965) to measure how stable respondents feel in their present lives and in the future. We additionally examine the impacts of each treatment on physical health, cognitive function, economic decision making, time-use, and consumption. We capture respondents ’ sense of physical health by asking how many days they have fallen sick in the past thirty days and cognitive function by employing a digit-span memory test and a series of basic arithmetic problems. We explore economic decision making along two dimensions: incentivized time preferences (Andreoni and Sprenger, 2012; Gin ´ e et al., 2018) and incentivized risk preferences (Holt and Laury, 2002).

Finally, we ask respondents how much they consume, borrow and save over the past week. We further consider changes in perceptions on gender and power in two ways. First, we generate a Household Power Index, composed of a set of questions on perceptions of gendered decision-making and intimate partner violence. The questions are drawn from Haushofer and Shapiro (2016), which are themselves adapted from the Demographic Health Surveys. In addition, we produce a Work Rights Index, composed of questions around whether respondents feel that women should be allowed to work inside or outside the home or the camp block. Each outcome is described in greater detail in Appendix C. The frequency with which each outcome is collected is also presented in Appendix C. Multiple hypothesis testing We utilize two approaches to address the issue of multiple hypothesis testing. First, we present our primary outcome, psychosocial well-being, as an inverse-covariance weighted index variable following Anderson (2008). We also generate index variables for other outcomes in which this is possible, such as the cognitive index, the household power index, and the work rights index. Our second strategy is to report the sharpened False Discovery Rate (FDR) q-values for all outcomes within a particular table, which control for the expected proportion of rejections that are type I errors, likewise 12 Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Demographic Health Surveys"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "which increases significantly under both treatment arms. In other words, the psychosocial value to employment appears to be driven largely by the non-pecuniary dimensions of the employment experience. 5. 4 Impacts of employment on reported physical health, cognitive function, and economic decision-making The positive effects of employment extend to other measures beyond psychosocial health. Table 3 presents results on reported physical health, cognitive function, and incentivized measures of risk and time preference. We observe a significant increase in the days reported healthy. This effect may be due to ‘ real ’ health improvements from increased exercise (which has also been documented to translate to improved mental health (Herbert et al. (2020))) from the employment task or ‘ perceived ’ health improvements in which improved psychoso- cial well-being translates into feeling less physically ill. Should the channel be exercise, we may expect health improvements to grow over time. Our weekly data on days healthy sug- gests this is not the case: we observe the treatment effect on health from the first week of working, and the gap remains steady throughout the following two months (Appendix Figure A3).

As with physical health, improvements to cognitive function are unlikely to be a direct product of the employment task itself, which was specifically de- signed to require no literacy or mathematical skill. Rather, these results are suggestive of a downstream impact to reducing depression through the experience of employment. Finally, we find no change in time preferences: treated individuals are no more or less likely to discount the future relative to control counterparts, although results may have differed had we engaged participants in an effort or consumption-based time preference game rather than a financial one. However, we find a substantial increase in risk tolerance among the employed. A greater preference for risk-taking may be indicative of employment serving as a form of psychological ‘ insurance ’ that allows participants the mental bandwidth to exercise greater risk. This is consistent with the positive impacts of employment on stability as well as with a key motive underlying universal basic income (UBI) in the developing world (Banerjee, Niehaus, and Suri, 2019). Interestingly, however, we document no parallel increase in risk tolerance in the cash transfer arm. Our result on risk preference also echoes a potential consequence of depression and anxiety described in Ridley et al. (2020), although empirical 15 Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Having experienced the work task and therefore able to realistically value the work, we offer individuals in the employment arm an additional [surprise] week of work at a series of wages following the incentivized Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) method. We inform participants that we have a limited amount of funds remaining and are therefore unable to pay everyone their previous wage. This strategy realistically motivates the reservation wage elicitation exercise and makes clear that there will be no further opportunities for work. We piloted this exercise extensively. To maximize comprehension, we employ a multiple price list strategy, embed repeated confirmations, and conduct a trial run of the exercise for each respondent before the real exercise; this mimics the procedure employed in Burchardi et al. (2021) for which participants in another low-income country field context exhibited high comprehension. For those individuals who express willingness to work at a wage of zero, we offer an alternative option of answering a brief survey at the end of the week for a small, randomized fee; we then use the fraction of respondents who are willing to forego this paid option and instead work for free as an estimate of the proportion of respondents who have a negative reservation wage of at least the foregone magnitude. 16 Usage context: primary mention, supporting mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Second, we complement our psychosocial index with measures that are not vulnerable to experimenter demand. Demand effects are unlikely to alter one ’ s cognitive ability as measured through the arithmetic questions and memory tests of our cognitive index. Our risk and time preference games are incentivized with meaningful stakes (respondents gamble with a minimum of 1. 20 USD in the risk preference game and trade off3. 50 USD today with higher amounts tomorrow in the time preference game), stake sizes that de Quidt, Haushofer, and Roth (2018) have found effectively eliminate demand effects. Perhaps employed individuals feel a need to impress the enumerator, as their proximate employer, in a way cash recipients do not. This may lead to reporting better mental and physical health and investing greater effort in the cognitive tasks. However, we find that life satisfaction increases substantially for both groups, inconsistent with a differential desire to impress among the employed. We also observe patterns of treatment effects within our validated PHQ-9 module that are inconsistent with experimenter demand (Appendix Table 12The signaling value of the certificate may have been diminished if other employers learned about the nature of the certificate distribution. Our time in the field suggests this is unlikely: we randomized certificate distribution at the block level to limit spillovers, only five people in each block of ˜ 200 adults was involved in the experiment, and job opportunities were scarce. 13The certificate read “ I engaged with Pulse Bangladesh to do data collection ”.

The re- mainder receive a blank calendar and are instead informed weekly about their schedule. We find no impact of a schedule on respondent well-being or decision-making (Appendix Table A7). Despite this exercise, we cannot causally estimate the role of the structure alone on well-being, as the structure imposed by regular employment is coextensive with employment itself. Indeed, our measure of stability, which asks respondents how secure they feel at the moment and expect to feel in the future, increases substantially among the employed relative to both control and cash arms. Time use Does employment improve well-being by allowing participants to substitute time away from unsavory or psychosocially costly activities?

We find no impact along this margin, suggesting that the elimination of boredom per se is not the driving force behind the psychosocial value of employment (Appendix Table A10). 17Most respondents do not track their day by time, making collection of reliable time use data challenging (though recent literature documents the broader unreliability of such data).

In substance, the CIS-7 may fit the developing countries scenario better than the transitional countries scenario in the Schneider and Klinglmair (2004) regressions. If this is the case, we should expect that the growth of the informal sector negatively contributes to growth. The data we have do not contradict this hypothesis given that the shadow economy has been on the rise during the recession period and has stabilised during the growth period. This digression on informality suggests that self-employment may partially act as an host to in- formal and illegal activities especially during recessions where self-employment may constitute a refuge for small informal and illegal businesses. Self-employment is also evidently a sector of ne- cessity for those who wish to keep health and pension records alive and do not want to formally register anywhere else.

Non agricultural labor has remained practically unchanged during the period while agri- cultural employment has increased marginally.

Conversely, sustained social and educational integration efforts are vital for positive outcomes. For instance, studies indicate that long-term integration can be hampered by social, economic, and institutional barriers (Chiswick and Miller, 2014), while interventions focused on language support and community engagement can lower these barriers (Ozden and Wagner, 2020). Further, speciϐic interventions aimed at removing obstacles to education for children on the move can contribute signiϐicantly to better integration outcomes (Schuettler and Caron, 2020). This paper beneϐits from key information coming from administrative data on educational records of Ukrainian refugees in Italy for the academic years 2021-2022 to 2023-2024 for grades 6 to 13. This provides a unique opportunity to examine enrollment, attendance, test performance, and other indicators of integration into the Italian educational system. Supplemented by survey data collected in 2023-2024, this study offers an overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by Ukrainian students in secondary schools and highlights areas for potential policy development. This study advances the literature by adding empirical evidence on the short- to medium-term educational impacts of displacement on young refugees within a European host country, offering insights into the role of education policy in mitigating human capital losses. It also contributes to discussions on human development by identifying factors that support or hinder integration, highlighting pathways for improving educational and social outcomes for refugee students. Results highlight that despite gradual improvements, enrollment rates remain signiϐicantly lower among refugees compared to native and other foreign students. Ukrainian refugees also demonstrate higher absenteeism and lower academic performance, particularly in subjects requiring language proϐiciency such as Italian and English. However, good performance in mathematics suggests potential strengths linked to their prior educational backgrounds. Despite these challenges, teachers seem to be more inclined to recommend Ukrainian refugees for high-track education compared to other newly arrived foreigners, indicating potential optimism about their academic capabilities.

Data Sources and Methods 3. 1. Administrative data on educational outcomes in Italy Two administrative data sources represent the backbone of this paper. These are the administrative data obtained from the Ministry of Education (MoE) for academic years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023- 24, and standardized test score data from the Italian National Institute for the Evaluation of the Educational System (INVALSI) for the 2022-2023 academic year. These datasets offer valuable insights into the educational outcomes of students in Italy, including Ukrainian refugees who entered the Italian school system following the invasion in 2022. Deϐinitions. In both datasets, students are categorized into ϐive demographic groups based on their nationality and timing of entry into the Italian educational system. These groups are Italian students, Ukrainian refugee students, non-refugee Ukrainian students, newly arrived foreign students, and other foreign students. Among Ukrainian students, the distinction between refugees and non- refugees is based on their enrollment date in the Italian education system. Ukrainian refugees are deϐined as Ukrainian students who enrolled in Italian schools after February 2022.

They also include school-speciϐic information such as the name and identifying code of the institution where the student is enrolled. Furthermore, the dataset includes a variety of school outcome variables, including grades in English, Italian, Mathematics, overall GPA calculated as the average across all subjects, behavior scores from grade 9 to grade 12, guidance council evaluations from lower secondary school, records of absences, late entries, and early exits. Given the timing of this study, data for academic year 2022-23 are the most complete. For academic year 2022-2023, school enrollment data at the provincial level was provided for 4, 269, 348 enrolled students across the 8 years of Italian lower and upper secondary school, encompassing both public and private institutions. The dataset includes nearly all students in the country irrespective of their citizenship. 9 Table 1 shows the distribution of the different groups of students by grade.

The relatively strong desire to return to Ukraine can have negative effects in refugee parents'educational decisions, particularly in encouraging their children to learn the language of the host country and in enrolling in school (Dryden-Peterson et al., 2019; Zengin and Atas-Akdemir, 2020).

However, students participating in both systems spend an additional 8 hours per week on online Ukrainian classes. This puts an extra burden on these children. Connectedness to Italy is correlated with demographic characteristics and social environment of refugee children. Additionally, Table 6 shows that making new friends in the country of destination and speaking Italian are strongly associated with higher connection to Italy.

The absence of discernible gaps in these areas could be attributed to the non-exposure of Venezuelan migrants to warfare, or it may reflect the vulnerabilities of the Colombian population, which has its own extensive history of internal forced displacement and violence.

The base item, marking the starting point, is determined by the individual ’ s chronological age in years (date of test administration- date of birth). Once the child correctly answers 8 consecutive questions, they reach the ” Base ”. Subsequently, upon making 6 mistakes within 8 consecutive questions, the ceiling is established. The direct score is calculated as the item number where the test ends (ceiling item) minus the number of errors from the highest base to the end of the ceiling. 36 Usage context: primary mention, background mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "to severe based on the score.

VII Discussion In this study, we analyze novel and unique data on forcibly displaced migrants and hosts, focusing on children and adolescents, to highlight the disparities in human development between them. The structure our analysis in two parts. In the first part, we characterize the main trends in the data. We show that forcibly displaced households have a wealth distribution skewed towards lower values relative to Colombian households. This is likely explained by the assets ownership loss that forcibly displaced households expe- rienced after the migration episode. We also identify meaningful lags in human capital accumulation between Colombian and Venezuelan children and adolescents of approxi- mately 1 year. We further note that the Colombian government ’ s supportive policies for Venezuelan forced migrants are evident through high levels of service access and pro- gram participation for migrants. Nevertheless, it remains surprising that participation is not higher, suggesting significant potential for improvement in increasing sisb ´ en and health insurance enrollments. In a second part of our analysis, we document sizeable lags in physical and cognitive de- velopment of Venezuelan children and adolescents, relative to their Colombian counter- parts. However, we were not able to identify any gaps in the socioemotional and mental health between the two groups.

In theory, a few of the crises studied could have been predicted but it would not be possible to allocate individuals to treated and non-treated groups randomly given that, by the definition of forced displacement we provided, people are fleeing violence, persecution or high levels of insecurity or uncertainty. Consequently, none of the papers reviewed is based on a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Due to the randomness of the decision to leave (because of conflict, violence, insecurity or major political events) and / or the random allocation of displaced people in the country of destination (by policy or by default), some authors argue that they are in the presence of natural experiments. All authors do, however, address the question of endogeneity and, if one searches for a common thread, these evaluations would be better described as quasi-natural experiments.

Most studies rely on household survey data where individuals or households are the unit of observations and most studies include some regional dimension (more frequently administrative areas).

Some papers use the full set of parameters depicting units of observation (for example, household, region and time fixed effects in equations where the unit of observation is constructed using household, region and time).

There are also only a handful of papers that discuss estimations of the error term and choices made in this regard. The two prevalent evaluation methods used by these studies are Differences-in Difference (DD) methods and linear elasticities models. In the first case, the variable of interest (FD) is a discrete status variable (generally a pre / post- treated / non-treated interaction term) and the coefficient of interest measures the impact on outcomes in the presence or absence of displaced people. In the second case, the model is typically in log form and is based on a shock variable that measures the intensity of the shock such as the number or share of refugees per geographical unit. In this case, the coefficient measures the elasticity of outcomes to the intensity of displacement. A few papers conduct simple differences illustrating results graphically or in tabular form. A few papers use ordinary matching methods (Alix-Garcia and Bartlett 2015, Aydemir and Kirdar 2018, Murard and Sakalli 2017; Mayda et al. 2017) and three papers use Synthetic Matching Methods (Peri and Yasenov 2017; Borjas 2017; Makela 2017). We could not find any paper using a discontinuity design. 12 The essential ingredients used to measure the population shock are the number or presence of forcibly displaced persons, the size of the host population and the distance of the displaced from host communities if the displaced are clustered in camps or other forms of independent settlements.

The choice of matching methods varies from ordinary methods such as nearest neighbor to more recent advances such as Synthetic Control Methods (Abadie and Gardeazabal, 2003). The inclusion of fixed effects is common to almost all papers although the choice of fixed effects can be very different, as described above. Only one paper uses Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) formal models in conjunction and tests for differences (Esen and Binatli 2017).

When comparing impacts between locations within a country, cross-sectional data also usually does not allow to capture impacts on those who moved out and to differentiate impacts between those who were already there before the shock and those who moved in afterwards. Some of the models based on administrative areas qualify as spatial econometrics models in that they use estimation methods that derive from this literature and are published in spatial econometrics journals. Studies that compare different areas within a country are not only confronted with the potential endogeneity of the size and skill composition of the inflow and the choice of destination, but also with the endogenous reactions of the host community. Local workers might respond to the labor supply shock by dropping out of the labor force, investing in education, occupational upgrading or moving to other areas and diffusing the impact of the inflow. Even if local workers do not respond to wage variations, capital flows may equalize capital / labor ratios within the country, labor-intensive industries might move towards the regions with a high refugee or IDP influx or firms might use more labor-intensive production technologies. The reactions of the host country workers, investors and firms are medium-to long-term in nature and will play less of a role in the short-term if there are large, sudden and geographically concentrated inflows. Some of the papers explicitly analyze these potential channels, notably migration of local workers, and, to a lesser extent, occupational upgrading. Outmigration of hosts is a critical complement to the labor market analysis and excluding this outcome can lead to an underestimation of the impacts of forced displacement on the labor market outcomes of natives.

Rozo and Sviastchi (2018) include the number of hours worked, and Ruiz and Vargas-Silva (2017) look at the changes in number of hours dedicated to a task (including employment outside the household). The second question relates to possible spurious correlations generated by how variables are combined in models. Linear models that use ratios of two variables as dependent variable (think of average prices or wages, employment rates or consumption per capita) and the denominator of this ratio as independent variables (think of the share of refugees on host communities or household size) can produce spurious correlations (Kronmal 1993).

This is clearly a shortcoming of this literature that will require increased attention in the future. 4. Meta-analysis of empirical results 4. 1 Data The literature review covers 49 papers spanning over a period of 29 years. We were not able to find published papers prior to the work by Card in 1990, which effectively started this literature, and there is a relatively low interest in this topic between 1990 and 2011 with only one or two papers published per year. With the Syrian crisis starting in 2011 and the EU crisis in 2015 the number of papers per year increased by several fold. Most of the papers and results considered in this review are therefore very recent (Figure 2). We used academic databases and search engines (EconLit, Social Science Research Network, JSTOR, Google Scholar) and searched websites of institutions with relevant working paper series (NBER, IZA, ERF and others). Relevant unpublished papers were included by searching agendas of workshops and conferences organized during the past few years.

Conclusion The paper reviewed 49 empirical studies that focused on estimating the impact of forced displacement on host communities. This literature covers 17 different displacement situations in high, medium and low- income countries covering the impact on the labor and consumer markets. A total of 762 results have been used for the meta-analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review of this literature. The empirical modeling analysis highlighted the main traits of this literature. By definition, all studies operate ex-post, after the displacement crisis has taken place. The unexpected nature of the crisis and the randomness of the allocation of displaced persons are two elements used to defend the natural experiment assumption. However, all papers address the central question of endogeneity.

This does not mean that a causal link from falling growth to conflict can be ruled out. But it is unlikely to drive the macro relationship we see in the data. In order to further explore the relationship between violence and country-level out- put we run two specifications of the model described above. In the first model conflict in country i at time t is defined by any violence, i. e. if at least one battle related deaths occurs.

This is not only those who are killed or injured in conflict but the large number of people who are forced to leave their homes. The issue of refugees has received particular attention in Western media in recent years as refugee flows from Northern Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan are increasingly reaching Europe. These refugee streams are linked to a severe humanitarian crisis with considerable funding needs for international donors and heavy strains on host countries. 21 The current refugee crisis, however, is in no way unique. Civil war has always been closely linked to humanitarian crisis and refugee streams are one way to capture this. In this section we provide a cross-country analysis aimed at investigating how the stock of refugees evolves when a civil conflict hits a country. In the analysis we will focus entirely on showing changes in the stock of refugees across time to illustrate the dimensions involved. We will base our later analysis on these population movements. We exploit country-level data gathered from several sources. Data about refugees is provided by the UNHCR Population Statistics Database.

We focus on these numbers as they appear to be the most comparable across time and countries. However, this is likely to capture only the tip of the iceberg in some cases. The number of IDPs is extremely high in some instances but cannot be captured with the same level of confidence as refugees generally. 23 Cross-country data about conflict is provided by the UCDP / PRIO.

For this purpose, we use the height loss measure from the previous sub- section to estimate the marginal effect of an extra cm loss on log GDP. This serves two objectives. First, we explore whether the micro evidence can be used as a conduit for understanding the long-term damage to output from conflict.

The regression with total inflows as an exposure variable can be thought of as modeling the annual rate of investment inflows into a country in each year. 40 The variable peaceit is a dummy that takes a value of 1 in all years with peace. We lag this variable by one year to allow for the fact that investment needs some planning and will not react immediately to changes in the host country.

It is likely that effects of violence will be most visible if the conflict has been intense in terms of battle related deaths per capita.

Attracting foreign investment appears to be a lot harder if a government excludes or even discriminates against parts of the population and refugees have not returned to their homes.

Besley and Mueller (2015a) argue that foreign investors seem to know that growth volatility changes with strong executive constraints and therefore react significantly to their adoption.

In the absence of strong executive constraint, we expect regions populated by ethnic groups that have access to executive power to perform better relative to others due to ethnic favoritism. Conversely, excluded ethnic groups should experience relatively worse economic performance compared to other groups in the absence of such constraints. 46 To test these hypothesis we use data on ethnic groups ’ access to executive power and night light intensity from the GROWup Research Front-End (RFE Release 2. 0) dataset and executive constraint data from the Polity IV dataset.

The Listening to Displaced People Survey The Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS) combines a baseline face-to-face survey with mobile phone follow-up interviews. During the baseline survey respondents were identified and information on household and respondent characteristics was collected. Once the baseline interview was completed, respondents were given a mobile phone and started to receive, at monthly intervals, phone interviews from a call center in Bamako.

Challenges Faced by Returnees The results suggest that returnees were less affected by the crisis than IDPs and refugees. This is reflected in data on asset and livestock ownership, but also in the information pertaining to exposure to violence. Returnees reported fewer victims; fewer returnees reported to have lost income as a consequence of the crisis; more of their children were able to continue schooling; and relative to IDPs and refugees, fewer perceived being poorer in June 2014 than before the crisis.

Conclusion The 2012 crisis in northern Mali led to widespread displacement. The welfare of the displaced – and those who returned – is monitored by combining a baseline survey with structured monthly follow-up interviews carried out by mobile phone. This innovative approach allows tracking changes in welfare with high frequency – even for those who returned to areas that are insecure and inaccessible to enumerators. After 6 rounds of follow-up interviews attrition rates are very low (more than 99 % response rate), demonstrating that it is possible to collect robust and representative data from hard-to-reach, conflict-affected populations. The results show that those who fled were better educated, better off and less affected by violence than the average population in the North. Those who fled lost significant amounts of durable goods (20-60 %) and livestock (50-90 %); many of their children ended up being taken out of school and their welfare (measured subjectively and by the number of meals consumed) declined considerably. Over time, the impact of the crisis on welfare has lessened and by February 2015 the majority of eligible children of the displaced were going to school and levels of employment and number of meals consumed were at pre-crisis levels.

For a country that has never experienced such a large-scale, sudden inflow of foreigners, demographic changes in the composition of the population and labor force will yield unprecedented implications. This paper examines, as data allows, the relationship between the size of the foreign-born population and host community poverty rates in Turkey. First, this paper finds the poverty rates of ‘ recent migrants ’ near the Syrian border (NSB) significantly increased from 2009 to 2013. Second, the number of foreign-born households being captured by the Labor Force Survey (LFS) is expanding, which suggests a growing number of foreign households that are likely to be Syrians. Third, with respect to poverty, the results show no negative impacts on the host community as a result of the increasing size of the foreign-born population. The impact of SUTPs has been both positive and negative. Overall, a significant negative impact on host communities ’ welfare is not observed in the data.

By country of origin, the displacement of Syrians is one of the largest in recent history. As a result of the civil war that began in 2011, Syrians started to leave their homes and look for safety in neighboring countries across the region. By November 2015, about 4. 3 million Syrians were seeking refuge in primarily Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and the Arab Republic of Egypt. 3 The only other time in the last half century that the world experienced a larger group of refugees from a single country is the case of Afghan refugees during the 1980s to 1990s. Refugee displacements of this size are rare. Consequently, they are not well studied and their impacts are not well understood.

Many conclusions from the traditional literature on the study of immigrants ’ impact on natives cannot be applied to the case of Syrians in Turkey. There are many differences between the inflow of Syrians and other flows of extended family and economic immigrants. First, the sheer volume of Syrian refugees and the short time- frame in which they entered Turkey is unprecedented. For the case of Syrians in Turkey, or displaced populations in general, large movements of refugees are not restricted due to humanitarian reasons. Second, formal immigration processes are controlled, limited, and regulated by destination countries. Therefore, results from literature on “ immigrants ” are very different than a focus on displaced or refugee populations.

Using synthetic modelling methods, Ozturkler and Goksel (2015) estimate the impact of Syrian refugees on local prices, wages, inflation, and services in 10 cities with large refugee populations. Some of the salient negative effects have been increases in rental prices, increases in inflation at border cities, illegal hiring by small business, and decreases in wages. However, in some cities (Gaziantep, Adana, Kahramanmaras, and Mardin), the presence of refugees has improved the trade balance, and economic activity in these areas are projected to increase as economic integration with MENA deepens. Orhan and Gundogar (2015) also note both positive and negative aspects of SUTPs.

Throughout history, immigration to Turkey has been relatively limited and consisted mostly of those of Turkish heritage. In the early 20th century, immigration was encouraged by the government as a method to increase the population. Since 1970, immigration has slowed down and has been even discouraged at times. Many immigrants to Turkey are of Muslim Turkish background, since the government prioritized preserving a national identity. This is likely why “ migrants ” had very similar or even lower poverty rates than the host community.

However, aid funds are not limitless and refugees face hardships that will persist over the long-term. The refugee camp population in Turkey has been stable since March of 2013 as the physical capacity of the camps have been exhausted. 6 This saturation has resulted in a steep increase in the number of Syrians living outside camps across Turkey. The proportion of Syrian refugees living outside camps increased from 53 percent to 87 percent between March 2013 and November 2014. 7 In addition, even though refugees living outside camps continue to be concentrated near the Syrian border (64 percent), the dispersion of Syrians across the country has expanded, especially in major urban centers such as Istanbul and Ankara. The results in this paper are limited to 2013 due to changes in the 2014 LFS that make poverty estimations incomparable to previous years. 8 Therefore our results may provide only a partial insight into the impact of SUTPs, since the dispersion of Syrians across Turkey has increased greatly in 2014 and 2015.

Overall, this paper finds no negative effects on host community welfare from an increasing population of SUTPs. As other authors have stated, the influx of SUTPs has had both positive and negative impacts. It seems on average, the host community has been strong and adaptive, and not negatively impacted. This is not to disregard that real strains do exist in some regions where the SUTP population is very large. Nor do these results undermine findings of displacement effects in the labor market that certain types of workers are experiencing.

DATA AND TECHNICAL ISSUES Data Sets Data availability limits which data set can be used to identify the foreign-born population and geographic location while measuring poverty. The Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) has been conducting three nationally representative surveys annually since 2005; the Household Income and Consumption Expenditure Survey (HICES), the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) and the Labor Force Survey (LFS). However the HICES, which is the national survey that is used to measure official poverty, 5 UNCHR, 2013pg 13 6 UNHCR (22 November 2013), UNHCR (15 September 2014) 7 UNHCR (22 March 2013), Erdogan (2014), pg 14 8 This technical issue will be discussed further later in the paper.

The SILC contains geographic identifying variables, (at the NUTS1 level) but still lacks migration variables. The data set this study uses is the Labor Force Survey (LFS) since there is an adequate availability of both migration and geographic variables. The LFS is representative at the NUTS2 level which corresponds to 26 regions in Turkey. One caveat is that income in the LFS refers to only wage income from employment, 9 and is an insufficient measure of income that should be used for welfare measurement. For example, important sources of income such as social assistance, asset liquidation, or remittances are missing. Therefore, income in the LFS is imputed with a few assumptions using information from the SILC. The NUTS1 spatial effects of the SILC are a good proxy for NUTS2 welfare dynamics in the LFS which increases the accuracy of the imputation model. However, since the original sample frame of the LFS does not account for the recent influx of foreign migrants in Turkey, the labor market characteristics of recent migrants might not be representative of the actual SUTP population. Therefore, results of the imputation could be interpreted as upper bound estimates for recent migrants. More details of survey techniques used to complete this exercise are available in the Annex.

Principally, there is a low number of sample points that are migrant households. Moreover, the study cannot identify migrant households and individuals that are specifically Syrian refugees. Foreign migrants are defined as those who were born abroad and have lived abroad for at least more than 12 months. Some Turkish-born households have also lived abroad for over a year, and these individuals are not considered to be migrants. Amongst foreign-born individuals, only the ones who have been in the country for more than 12 months are included in the sample which underrepresents the actual number of foreign migrants in the region. In addition, no specific procedure is adopted by the enumerators if the household does not speak Turkish. Given that a majority of Syrian refugees do not speak Turkish, the language barrier might result in the removal of Syrian households from the sample. Finally, refugee camps are not included in the sample frame, which limits the study to only examining recent migrants who do not live in refugee camps. 9 Wage income is only available for regular and casual employees in the LFS which accounts for around 60 % of total employment.

ANALYSIS Has the increase in Syrian refugees impacted the welfare and socioeconomic conditions of the host community? Summary statistics in the previous section showed clear trends of increasing poverty among recent migrants throughout the country, both near the Syrian border and across rest of the country. While the poverty rates of recent migrant households spiked in 2013, poverty of host community households maintained a relatively constant level in the whole country. From these trends, it appears that there at least has not been an increasing trend in poverty among the host community over the latest years. The empirical model is shown in Equation 1. Regressions are estimated at the NUTS2-year level and using data from only the years 2011 and 2013. The dependent variable of interest is the host community poverty rate by region and year, where the poverty rate is based on spatially deflated imputed household income. Unlike the computation of the poverty rates, “ recent migrant ” information is not used for the analysis. Only the host community poverty rates are calculated using the LFS and the number of Syrians are taken from government sources.

CONCLUSION The movement of Syrian refugees is one of the largest passages of refugee populations in recent history. With millions of people leaving Syria and settling in Turkey, concerns about externalities onto the native population are very salient. This paper addressed the poverty impacts of SUTPs on the host communities and found no evidence that the increase in foreign-born population from 2011 to 2013 resulted in higher poverty rates among the host community. As recent literature has noted, the SUTPs have both positive and negative impacts. While some types of people may be more likely to be displaced by Syrians in the labor market, Syrians are consumers and renters, they also open businesses and create jobs. Local Turkish citizens have also benefited as employers and sellers. In some border cities, the balance of trade has improved as exports to the Middle East increased. On the other hand, analysis of only the recent migrants clearly demonstrates that the group ’ s poverty profile is worsening between 2009 and 2013.

In addition, Turkey ’ s role as a pathway to Europe for those escaping conflict in the Middle East makes the issue an international phenomenon. In this respect, the healthy incorporation of SUTPs that will protect the wellbeing of host communities while satisfying the humanitarian necessity of helping Syrians will be among the more important development issues of today and the foreseeable future.

Introduction The most common sampling approach for cross-sectional household surveys in the developing world is a stratified two-stage design (Grosh and Munoz, 1996). Following stratification based on administrative boundaries, clusters are selected in the first stage with probability proportional to size from a national census-based frame. In the second stage, a canvassing operation is conducted in the selected clusters to compile an updated list from which households are randomly selected. While this methodology is straight forward to implement in the field and reliably produces unbiased estimates, there are several downsides. The first downside is cost. The World Bank ’ s Living Standards Measurement Study team, which provides technical assistance on large-scale household surveys around the world, estimates the field listing operation increases the overall budget for data collection by 25 percent. Due to confidentiality concerns, the data collected during a field listing operation, typically the name of the household head and address or location description of dwellings, does not have any analytical applications beyond as a component of the weight calculations. 2 At a time when typical survey costs are in the USD millions, reducing a significant cost component will increase the financial sustainability of data collection. The second drawback to the traditional design relates to timeliness.

This paper goes a step further by using simulations to describe the sampling error and a field experiment in an IDP camp in South Sudan to measure the total survey error of each design compared to a census, allowing for the disaggregation of the total error into sampling and non-sampling components. In addition, we attempt to separate the components of non-sampling error linked to the sample method from those common across all methods, such as interviewers selecting larger households and other issues in properly implementing the household survey protocols. The next section briefly describes each method and highlights the literature as it relates to the relevant selection methods. Section 3 describes the data set and protocols for each method included in the experiment, followed by Section 4, which discusses implementation issues. Section 5 reports the results of the analysis, and section 6 concludes with further discussion of the overall performance and areas for future research. 2.

(2020) introduces a sampling design based on gridded population estimates as their sampling frame to implement a PPS design and derive sample size estimates for the number of grid cells. Assuming the grid square method is applied to the area itself rather than a selected PSU, the weights for the grid method are similar to those for segmentation, where the cells are the PSUs, but without the additional step of selecting segments.

Experiment Design This paper makes use of a dataset from the purposefully designed methodology experiment conducted in one section of the Protection of Civilians site 1 (PoC1, Figure 1), one of the largest IDP camps in Juba, South Sudan. To generate a gold standard as the basis of comparison, a household census was conducted between August and September 2017.

North Method The North Method uses RSPs to determine the selected households. RSPs are chosen from the universe of all possible points with the boundaries of the PoC camp. To implement the North Method, 322 RSPs along with replacement RSPs were chosen. These points were random geo-coordinates within camp borders (Figure 5). If the RSP lay within a structure, the corresponding structure was selected. If not, starting at the selected RSP, enumerators walked directly north, using the compass application on their tablet, until a structure was encountered. If the structure was residential, the structure was chosen to be interviewed. In the case of multiple households present in the structure, one household was randomly chosen. If the structure was not residential or if the enumerator reached the boundary of the camp, a replacement RSP was used. As it would be extremely difficult to determine the area of the shadow in the field, satellite imagery is used for these calculations. In the case of this experiment, the selection areas are calculated using Google Earth imagery taken on December 22, 2017, approximately one month after the census of households in the PoC camp.

Random Walk Random Walk obtains a sample by randomly selecting starting points for enumerators with generic but unambiguous instructions to select households at regular intervals on their path. For this experiment, enumerators conducted random walks using 21 RSPs (Figure 8). Starting as near as possible to the RSP, the supervisor chose any random point (like a street corner or a school). From this point, four enumerators walked each in one of the four cardinal directions. Walking in their designated direction away from the RSP, they counted structures on both the right and the left and each selected the fifth structure for interview. Enumerators were instructed to start with the buildings on the right if two buildings were opposite to each other. To select the next structure, enumerators continued along the cardinal path, and selected the next fifth structure. If the enumerator could not proceed on its cardinal path because she had reached the boundary of the PoC camp, enumerators were instructed to turn right at a 90-degree angle and continue counting until finding the fifth dwelling. Enumerators had to conduct six interviews along their paths. 4. Implementation Issues 4. 1. Failure to Follow Survey Protocols As noted above, even if field protocols are perfectly implemented, the estimates generated from Random Walk designs are likely to be biased. Enumerators furthermore often were unable or unwilling to follow the protocols. Streets and paths were not necessarily aligned with cardinal directions and obstacles further impeded the ability to follow a straight path. Additionally, since the selection method requires enumerator judgment, it is not replicable and therefore allows enumerators greater discretion to choose which households are “ selected. ” Figure 9 shows the paths taken by two teams of enumerators from Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "16 implementation matters.

In conclusion and in line with the literature, most probability-based methods perform better than non-probability methods like random walk. In addition, implementation of adherence with the survey protocol is extremely important and using appropriate methods and tools to cope with this challenge is absolutely mandatory for coming as close as possible to the theoretical results derived by the simulation for the probability-based methods.

Appendix 7. 1. Simulation and Frame To compare the efficiency of the different sampling frames and designs, we will apply an empirical sampling simulation. In this type of (Monte-Carlo style) simulation, either a true or synthetic population is used as the target population. By applying a specific sampling design, and repeated sampling (usually 1, 000 repetitions) under this design, we can compare the resulting population estimates with the known true population values for each run of the simulation. The resulting distribution of these estimates is called the sampling distribution, and the average squared deviation from the underlying population value is the Mean Squared Error (MSE) or when taking its square root, the Root MSE (RMSE). To facilitate the comparison, we use the relative version expressed in percentage deviation. Empirical sampling simulations can be considered as the “ […] ultimate tool for investigators who want to know if one sampling strategy will work better than another for their population. ” (Thompson, 2012).

Introduction We are in the midst of protracted refugee crises. According to the latest UNHCR trends report, at the end of 2020, 76 percent of refugees globally (15. 7 million) were in a protracted situation (UNHCR 2021). 2 Most refugees reside in low-income countries, and more than eight of every 10 refugees (86 percent) live in countries within territories affected by acute food insecurity and malnutrition (UNHCR 2021a). Refugee receiving host communities also tend to be poor, experience precarious livelihood conditions and face many socio-economic challenges, such as low economic status, poor access to public services, and infrastructural development. For these communities, refugees might bring both challenges and benefits. On the one hand, refugees increase competition for natural resources (e. g., wood for energy, construction, land), public services and infrastructure (e. g., education, health, water supply), and economic opportunities (e. g., traditional livelihoods, labor employment). Refugee inflow may also affect the local market by mainly depressing wages and raising product prices (Vemuru et al. 2020).

We measure refugee inflow (presence) as the number of refugees (population) in the nearest refugee camp to the household location weighted by the household's inverted distance to the camp. The impact of refugee inflow on household livelihood strategies can be causal if there are no confounding factors that affect livelihoods in host communities when refugee inflow changes. This is unlikely as refugee flow and the location of refugee camps are not random (see e. g., Baez 2011). Refugee camps are often situated close to international borders, among others, to allow for easy repatriation of the refugees when stability is restored in their countries of origin. In addition, refugees often seek shelter in the nearest refugee camp once they arrive in the host country, which is arguably true in most hosting countries as refugees often travel on foot for 2 According to UNHCR, a protracted refugee situation is a situation in which at least 25, 000 refugees from the same nationality have been in exile for at least five years in a given host country. 3 Diversification of activities is calculated using the inverse Simpson diversity index.

Hence, to identify the causal impact of refugee inflow on livelihood diversification and commercialization, we employ a two-stage least squares (2SLS) econometric specification strategy using potential refugee inflow as an instrument. Potential refugee inflow is constructed as the product of population density and intensity of conflicts (number of fatalities per event) in the closest region of the origin country to the refugee camp weighted by the inverted distance of the refugee camp to the closest region4 (i. e., the shortest distance to the border between the refugee camp and the bordering country of origin). Similar (weighted) instruments have been used in the literature (e. g., Baez 2011; Fallah et al. 2019) and proved to be an appropriate instrument to study the socio-economic impact of refugees on host communities. Livelihood diversification and agricultural commercialization are the two main common strategies that people in low-income countries adopt to improve or maintain their livelihood and welfare. Given the prevailing under-developed insurance market in the event of shocks, households tend to pursue several income generating activities.

This has changed after 2019 because of the revised Ethiopian Refugee Law. These effects tend to be heterogeneous across regions and to a limited extent, vary depending on the gender of the household head. The negative effects tend to be concentrated in Gambella, a region that hosts most of the refugee population in Ethiopia and where the refugee population is as large as the population of the region. Overall, compared to women-headed households, households with a male head seem to benefit through increased diversification of activities as a secondary 4 Region refers to the administration level 1 from the Database of Global Administrative Areas (GADM).

Instead, our aim is to devise an approach that can provide greater insights into gender ‐ specific barriers, based on the premise that the experiences and potential vulnerabilities of women, men, and children are significantly different in refugee settings. We use household ‐ level data to examine the relationship between poverty and gender for Syrian refugees. Our approach is informed by a body of work in the academic literature that has used household survey data to examine the relationship between the gender of the household head and household 2 http: / / www. unhcr. org / globaltrends2017 /, accessed August 2, 2018. 3 http: / / www. unhcr. org / globaltrends2017 /, accessed August 2, 2018. 4 https: / / data2. unhcr. org / en / documents / download / 64568, accessed August 2, 2018. 5 https: / / reliefweb. int / sites / reliefweb. int / files / resources / 64114. pdf, accessed August 2, 2018.

This definition of female headship has advantages over the way that household headship is commonly identified in household surveys. An often ‐ noted drawback of the headship variable is that female headship may reflect the enumerators ’ perception about who should be considered a family head rather than who has the most responsibility for the family ’ s welfare in practice. 7 Social norms can also affect whether female respondents self ‐ identify as household heads. For example, some Eritrean returnees who would in other cultural settings be regarded as de jure female headed (single mothers, widows, divorcees, separated women) reported being male ‐ headed. Other Eritrean female returnees who would be considered de facto heads reported headship by absent husbands or male relatives (Kibreab, 2003). Our approach is therefore to distinguish between different types of female and male principal applicant households, using a typology that reflects some of the indicators of vulnerability used by UNHCR.

These protracted situations in Africa have been characterized by Crisp (2003) as in most of the cases: i) peripherally located with poor security, unfavorable climatic conditions, and economical and political marginalized; ii) concentrating people with special needs like e. g. children and women (see Section 3); and iii) lacking basic human rights, including those covered by the provision of the 1951 refugee convention. Another distinct feature of refugees in SSA is that they are mostly hosted in organized camps. While in developing countries around one third of refugees are hosted in camps, the share raises to about 40 percent in Sub ‐ Saharan Africa (Figure 5). 3 The percentage of 76 percent in Eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa stresses again the pressing situation in this part of the world.

Such figures are based on the most recent year available (2013) and may change significantly following the large inflows of Syrian refugees into Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey. Nonetheless, the differences are sufficiently striking to believe that this is a distinct feature of refugee hosting in SSA. 2 UNHCR defines a protracted refugee situation as “ one in which 25, 000 or more refugees of the same nationality have been in exile for five years or longer in a given asylum country ” (2012: 23). 3 The figures are based on refugees (including those in refugee ‐ like situation).

Refugees as Agents of Their Own Destiny 3. 1 The Composition of Africa ’ s Refugee Population and Its Consequences One of the first elements that catch the eye in Figure 6 is the difference in the composition of the refugee population in Africa compared to the rest of the world. The share of children and women among refugees is higher in Africa than elsewhere, in particular East and West Africa stand out here. This is, at least partly, a consequence of Africa ’ s younger, general population, but other forces could be at work as well, e. g. higher mortality of adult males in Africa or adult males staying behind or being separated from the rest of the household. It does mean however that, relative to other areas, more attention should be going to the needs and capacities of women and children in Africa. This means, for example, adaption of and increased supply of schooling and health services. Figure 6. The composition of refugees by age and gender, 2013 Source: Note: UNHCR statistics (UNHCR 2014).

The Goma epidemiology group (1995) found high prevalence of child mortality as well as acute malnutrition among children in refugee camps in Eastern Zaire, especially in female headed households. The magnitude of the difference between ‘ normal ’ mortality in the country under study, in the absence of conflict and the mortality in a refugee camp, depends on several parameters: the health infrastructure in the country as well as in the camp, the food available to camp and non ‐ camp residents, the frequency of visits by nurses or doctors, the intensity of the conflict (e. g. attacks on camps), and so on. Thus, the results are highly dependent on the context.

Given the composition of the refugee population, such long ‐ term effects will be more important in Africa compared to elsewhere. Few studies have followed children exposed to forced displacement over a long time to directly infer the long ‐ term effects of forced displacement, in particular on health, education and labor market participation. Most studies of the long term effects of conflict use an indicator of exposure to violent conflict, but few of them have forced displacement as one of the indicators.

Most of these hosting countries are likely among the least developed countries. It has been argued that these refugees may constitute an additional burden in terms of economic development in hosting countries (Mabiso et al. 2014).

We even argue in Section 6 that such representation is not conducive to the right policy framework in refugee ‐ hosting areas. 4 The other major host countries per USD GDP are all developing countries, with Pakistan (1st), Jordan (8th), Bangladesh (9th), Yemen (10th), Iran (14th), Lebanon (17th), and India (20th).

Lessons from Case Studies in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda Given the limits of cross ‐ country comparisons, we present below three short case studies on the impact of protracted refugee situations on hosting communities. These case studies were not chosen based on a systematic review but they are sufficiently close to each other to allow for comparative learning. These case studies are also those emerging from a growing literature on the quantitative assessment of the impact of refugees on hosting communities (Mabiso et al. 2014). Case Study # 1: The protracted refugee situations in Tanzania Tanzania has been known as a refugee ‐ hosting country for long due to its peaceful history and its location surrounded by conflict ‐ affected countries (Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique). The first president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, welcomed most of refugees as a sign of pan ‐ African solidarity in the post ‐ independence periods from many African nations.

Nevertheless, the limited resources remained a major constraint on that effort and sheds light on the institutional constraints existing to scale up such positive efforts of coordination. Case Study # 2: The protracted refugee situations in Kenya Dealing with refugees remains a relatively novel phenomenon in Kenya. It was not until the early 1990s that Kenya witnessed massive refugee influxes from Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia (Banki 2004). Prior to that period however, Kenya had a reputation for having generous refugee policies, which allowed the successful integration of a number of refugees from Mozambique, Uganda and Rwanda (Banki 2004). However, with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of new refugees from neighboring countries during the 1990s, the responsibility for the care of the refugees shifted from the Government of Kenya ’ s (GoK) to the international community, leaving the more inclusive policies that were prevailing before 1991.

The camp is now home to over 100, 000 refugees from South Sudan, Burundi, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the DRC (UNHCR, 2012). The ongoing unrest in South Sudan is likely to exacerbate the refugee situation in the upcoming year. Moreover, the restrictions imposed by the government on refugee movement and employment makes the Kakuma population completely dependent on assistance provided by international organizations present on the field (Jamal 2000) The evidence on the impact of refugees in Kenya is quite limited. However, the Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology (NORDECO 2010) provides a detailed description, backed by sound descriptive statistics, on the impact of Dadaab refugee camps on host communities. Despite the very different structure of the local economy, mainly driven by pastoralist livelihoods, a pattern somewhat similar to the Tanzanian case is observed. According to NORDECO (2010), the aggregated economic impact is positive. It is estimated that about USD 3 million annual income accrues to the host community thanks to livestock and milk sales to the refugee camps. Trade and employment opportunities have also been reported around Dadaab camps in Kenya.

On a per capita basis this equates to around 25 % of average annual per capita income in North Eastern province ”. This estimation corresponds to a back ‐ on ‐ the ‐ envelope approximation but it gives a sense of the major benefits to the local population. Similar to the Tanzanian case, the presence of the Dadaab refugee camps is reported to have improved the provision of local public goods such as the frequency and reach of transport services and the availability of health and social services. NORDECO also observed environmental degradation around the Dadaab camps5 but spatially restricted in an area of inherently low resource value. It seems that environmental support programs have helped limiting the collection of firewood by refugees and providing alternative fuel sources (Milner and Loescher 2004). Compared to the Tanzanian case, two main differences emerge. Less emphasis is given to the distributional effect of the refugee inflows on the hosting communities, while less pressure on prices is observed around the Dadaab refugee camps.

First, on the distributional dimension, NORDECO (2010) did not point to a similar substitution effect between unskilled labor or refugees. In a pastoralist environment, the low ‐ middle ‐ income group and the poor are those primarily engaged in selling their products to refugee camps. Second, contrary to Alix ‐ Garcia and Saah (2010) for Tanzania, “ the price of basic commodities such as maize, rice, wheat, sugar and cooking oil is [reported to be] at least 20 % lower in camps than in other towns in arid and semi ‐ arid parts of Kenya. The main reasons are the re ‐ sale of WFP [World Food Program] rations, access to free food by locals registered as refugees and illegal imports via Somalia ” (NORDECO 2010: 9). Another possible explanation reported by Maystadt and Duranton (2014) in the Tanzanian case, is the importance of transport services in pushing the price of traded goods down. Although focusing more on the urban function of the refugee camps and the social transformation underpinned in the hosting society, Jansen (2011) also reports similar trading activities and wealth 5 Nonetheless, such a degradation is acknowledged by NORDECO (2010) to be difficult to distinguish from general trend prevailing the region.

More than other studies, this analysis points to the transfer of physical and human capital by refugees as an important source of benefits for the local economies. Interestingly, Kreibaum (2016) provides a more quantitative approach to the issue by assessing the impact of an increase in the presence of Congolese refugees on the hosting population in the Southern and Western parts of Uganda. The results indicate a positive ‐ although small in magnitude ‐ impact on the hosts ’ welfare (consumption per adult equivalent) but with distributional effects. Those depending on wage income and transfers experienced a deterioration in welfare, suggesting labor substitutability with rural landless workers. That seems to constitute a commonality with the Tanzanian case study. In addition, increase in the provision of private education services are also found, which is consistent with the move to the so ‐ called self ‐ reliance strategy in Uganda (see below). A major contribution of this paper is to contrast these results to the Ugandan households ’ perceptions in local communities.

Although that literature is still in its infancy, we can seek to draw a few lessons, even if these lessons can also serve as further hypotheses to be tested. First, the three case studies underline the importance of market mechanisms. Previous literature was very much focused on the health, environmental, and security consequences of hosting refugees. These concerns still rank as first priorities when refugees cross borders.

An additional hurdle is the need for panel data to study migration and economic mobility. The costs and difficulties in re-surveying migrants mean that attrition may be relatively high for this group and may also result in the loss of some of the most relevant households to study this process (Beegle, 2000; Rosenzweig, 2003). This paper uses unique data from a region in Tanzania to address this key question: What is the impact of physical movement out of the original community on poverty and wealth? Although we do not have experimental data, the nature of our data allows us to limit the potential sources of unobserved heterogeneity considerably. Building on a detailed panel survey conducted in the early 1990s, we re- interviewed individuals in 2004, making a notable effort to track individuals who had moved.

For those who moved elsewhere within the region, poverty rates drop by about 12 percentage points, and for those who moved out of the region, they drop by 23 percentage points. Had we not tracked and interviewed people who moved out of the community – a practice found in many panel surveys – we would have seriously underestimated the extent to which poverty has gone down over the past 13 years in the Kagera Region; we would have reported poverty reduction at about half of its true value.

Still, these statistics are not evidence that moving out of the community leads to higher income growth.

We exploit some unique features of these data to address concerns about unobserved heterogeneity. First, individual fixed effects regressions for movers and stayers produce a difference-in-difference estimation of the impact of physical movement, controlling for any fixed individual factors that affect consumption.

The Setting: Tanzania and Kagera, 1994-2004 In the last decade, Tanzania has experienced a period of relatively rapid growth, attributed to liberalization, a renewed trade orientation, a stable political context, and a relatively positive business climate to boost economic performance. Real GDP growth was of the order of 4. 2 % per year between 1994 and 2004, while annual population growth was around 3. 2 % in the same period (URT, 2004). There is also evidence that growth had accelerated in the last few years compared to the 1990s. However, this growth has not been sufficiently broad-based to result in rapid poverty reduction. On the basis of the available evidence, poverty rates have declined only slightly and most of the poverty reduction progress has been made in urban areas. According to the Household Budget Survey (HBS), between 1991 and 2000 / 01, poverty declined from 39 percent to 36 percent in mainland Tanzania. The decline in poverty was steep in Dar es Salaam (from 28 % to 18 %) but minimal in rural Tanzania (from 41 % to 39 %).

Excluding households in which all previous members are deceased (17 households with 27 people), the field team managed to re-contact 93 % of the baseline households. This is an excellent rate of recontact compared to panel surveys in low-income countries and high-income countries.

While our main measure of migration (Mi) is an indicator for having moved, we also substitute this for the log of the distance moved (kilometers from the original community of the location in which the individual was found in 2004, ‘ as the crow flies ’, set to 0 for non-movers). We will also extend the multivariate analysis to explore the role of moving to more urbanized areas and the role of sector movement in raising consumption growth. 6. Regression Results Table 9 presents the basic results for the initial household fixed effects (IHHFE) and 2SLS estimates (means for covariates are in Appendix Table 1). For each we estimate using an indicator for having moved and a measure of distance of the move. The 2SLS estimates in column (3) and (4) use the six instruments defined above. In Table 10, we present the first stage results of regressions explaining migration or the distance traveled in migration.

On the demanded skills, a driver of trends in employment is the changing demand for soft skills (Heckman and Kautz (2012), Weidmann and Deming (2021)). However, we know relatively little about what kinds of soft skills employers value in modern entry- level jobs (Heller and Kessler, 2022). On the decision of who to hire, it is in the best interest of companies to hire based on workers productivity. However, several studies have documented the existence of labor market discrimination in a wide range of contexts (Bertrand and Duflo (2017), Neumark (2018)) and it remains unclear how discrimination operates throughout the hiring process and how the existent empirical evidence on discrimination is linked to economic theory (Bertrand and Duflo, 2017). We conducted a correspondence study in 2023 using a large online job platform to assess demand for soft skills in the context of hiring discrimination in Malaysia. Malaysia is a particularly interesting setting because it is an upper-middle-income economy, home to multiple ethnicities representing large shares of the population, and previously documented gender gaps in labor force participation and wages.

Most importantly, we observe the number of applicants applying to a specific job, and the number of similar jobs posted on the platform. This unique data facilitates our third contribution, in which we analyze the role of labor market competition in hiring discrimination, an area which to date has not been widely explored. de Haan et al. (2017) show that discrimination against disadvantaged groups is more likely in the presence of competition of workers from a non-discriminated group than in a non-competitive scenario. Along these lines, we hypothesize that firms will discriminate less often when there is a low supply of applicants. Unlike de Haan et al. (2017), we uniquely observe quality indicators of the applicant pool, which we use to test our hypothesis that discrimination decreases when the relative quality of applicants in the pool is low. Furthermore, we exploit our unique data to test whether firms discriminate less often when there is high demand for specific job positions. We know of no studies that have previously considered competition on the demand side. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides background information of Malaysia.

We tested for ethnic discrimination, gender discrimination and the value of signaling soft skills in the labor market. Unlike many correspondence studies, the data allow us to observe different stages in the hiring process. We observe if the employer rejects an application, visits the profile of a candidate, number of times the profile is visited, if they contact them and if they offer an interview. Uniquely, we observe competition in the labor market on both the demand and supply sides. We do not find evidence of gender discrimination in the hiring process. Malaysia ’ s observed differential wages and labor force participation rates by gender do not seem to be associated with discrimination or human capital accumulation. More research is needed to determine why women in the Malaysian labor market have lower employment rates and wages. We find that Indian and Malay sounding name profiles are discriminated against in comparison to Chinese-sounding name profiles. There is discrimination along all the hiring process variables we observe. Malay and Indian candidates are 8 and 9 percentage points less likely to receive an interview offer relative to a Chinese candidate.

Research design 4. 1 The survey We collected the data for this project during January to March 2015 as part of a nationwide survey on issues related to migration for the Labour Market Impacts of Forced Migration (LAMFOR) project.

Second, a community survey in which a local leader was interviewed in each of the 100 communities. The number of communities selected in each province was based on information from the 2008 Census. Figure 4 indicates the location of the communities surveyed.

The report also suggests that “ 88 % of returnee heads of households are subsistence farmers, but most of them declared not having the adequate resources to produce their land. ” This high level of dependence on agriculture and prevalence of food insecurity are similar to the ones in our dataset for returnees and suggests that tensions related to access to agricultural land could also be present for post-2015 returnees. There are also signs of potential differences between current dynamics and the pre-2015 period.

Introduction After two decades of multiparty democracy, Mali was viewed as a democratic success story. The fifth presidential elections were scheduled to take place in March 2012 and another peaceful and democratic transfer of power was widely anticipated. Reality was different, however. A secessionist movement sparked by a Kel Tamasheq1 rebellion led to a political and constitutional crisis culminating in a coup d ’ état in March 2012 and an attempt to take over the country by force. The three northern regions of Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal became occupied by various rebel and Islamist factions until early 2013, when a coalition composed of the Malian Army, French troops and the ECOWAS-led African-led International Support Missions to Mali (AFISMA) recaptured the occupied areas. 2 After months of insecurity in the North and two violent attacks in Bamako, a Peace Accord was signed in May and June 2015 between the government and different actors involved in the rebellion. The Accord established a joint vision for peace and prosperity predicated on demobilization and disarmament, the devolution of authority to local governments, and the establishment of conditions for restoring stability and economic recovery in northern Mali. In spite of the Accord, the regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu remain in a state of prolonged crisis, with high levels of insecurity and weak governance.

To our knowledge, our surveys implemented by a private survey entity, GISSE, are the only systematic and representative effort to collect data in north Mali since the crisis. They offer a unique database providing a crucial perspective that would otherwise not be reflected in academic analyses and policy level decision-making, and a perspective that is indispensable in any attempt at understanding the situation in Northern Mali. 4 Preceding the Accord on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (Accord pour la paix et la réconciliation au Mali) (hereafter, the Peace Accord) of May and June 2015, four peace accords had been signed between the government and Toureg and Arab armed groups in 1 Kel Tamasheq (those who speak Tamasheq) is synonymous for Tuareq. 2 Francis David (2013): The regional impact of the armed conflict and French intervention in Mali.

Finally, the process of technological change, especially the development of digital communications, is a key factor in justifying new forms of non-standard employment. The expansion of services and global supply chains is inextricably linked to technological advances. The new information technologies, the higher quality and the lower cost of infrastructure and the logistical and transport improvements, allow companies to compare, organize and manage production in a more diversified way in territorial terms. At the same time, new communication technologies have allowed the generation of new forms of work, such as work on internet platforms or work on demand through digital applications. In this sense, technological developments allow companies to assemble teams of workers who develop activities in any part of the world through a virtual network (Brews and Tucci, 2004).

The analysis of the employment profile was made based on access to social security benefits, education level, labor income and the task content performed by the workers. From the point of view of social security, we find that NSE shows a higher prevalence of informality compared with SE. For instance, the average prevalence of informality for our set of countries among NSE in the ending point of the study is 40 % while the prevalence among SE is 20 %. In this sense, a rise in the prevalence of NSE could be associated to a big set of workers without access to social security benefits. From a dynamic perspective, there is no a common trend across countries regarding the prevalence of informality among NSE workers (Figure 9).

However, there are some differences by type of non-standard employment. In the case of part-time employment (Figure 10), several countries show an obvious rise in the prevalence of workers with secondary and tertiary education (Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Mexico). There is a second group of countries that presents a decrease in the prevalence of workers at the secondary level, but, this decrease is more than compensated by the greater incidence of tertiary workers, so that, taken together, workers with secondary or higher education increased their share within part-time employees (Uruguay and Chile).

(2021). Here we present a general overview of the measure for the individual-level and intrahousehold analyses. The MPI is constructed based on the Alkire-Foster (AF) method of multidimensional poverty measurement (Alkire and Foster 2011). Three key statistics characterize any MPI: incidence or headcount ratio (H), which is the proportion of the population who are multidimensionally poor; intensity (A), which is the average share of weighted indicators in which multidimensionally poor people are deprived; and adjusted headcount ratio (M0 or MPI), which is the product of the incidence and intensity (MPI = H × A). The AF method uses a dual-cutoff counting approach to poverty measurement. Having fixed relative weights across indicators that sum to 100 %, it first identifies who is deprived in each indicator, then sums up the weighted deprivations each person experiences into a deprivation score. A person is identified as poor if their deprivation score meets or exceeds a cross-dimensional poverty cutoff that is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100 %. It then aggregates this information to compute society-level MPI, incidence, and intensity.

To tackle individual-level and intrahousehold analyses, we build on the work of Alkire, Ul Haq and Alim (2019). The focus is on individual deprivations, and we call the persons with individual-level data in each indicator the eligible household members. For example, children aged 6-16 years might be eligible for deprivations in terms of school attendance, but not those older or younger. For individual-level indicators, we identify who and how many household members are deprived: their gender and their age, and what proportion of eligible household members are deprived. This is a powerful and potentially informative steppingstone for analysis. Consider two households, each of which has five eligible members with data on nutrition. The aggregation rule in this example is that if any household member is undernourished then the household is undernourished.

To create improved gendered MPIs, in which people ’ s poverty can be compared across gender and age or the life cycle, research must develop “ comparable ” definitions of capability deprivation that matter to people in different age cohorts or different life situations. Reliable indicators comparing men and women ’ s income, ownership of assets, and decision-making powers in the same household are difficult, as are those measuring decent work. Health indicators also differ by gender, change across the life cycle, and vary across family structures and disability status. The MPI constructed in Admasu et al. (2021) has the same weaknesses as these measurement paradoxes, but it remains a step in the right direction.

Introduction Violent conflict is one of the most important development challenges facing the world today. The incidence of wars has decreased in recent years (Harbom and Wallensteen 2009). However, the legacy of violence persists in many regions, affecting millions of men, women and children (Geneva Declaration Secretariat 2008, UNHCR 2008). The economic, political and social consequences of violence are far-reaching. Violent forms of conflict kill, injure and displace people, destroy physical capital and infrastructure and change the ways in which societies are organized. These effects will have considerable consequences for the long-term human capital accumulation of populations exposed to violence. This is well visible in the fact that no conflict-affected country will reach the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 (DFID 2009): conflict-affected countries contain one-third of those living in extreme poverty, and are responsible for almost one-half of child mortality in the world (Collier, 2007, DFID 2009). They also account for 42 % of all out-of-school children (28 million children), even though only 18 % of all children in the world of primary school age live in conflict-affected countries (UNESCO 2011). The objective of this paper is to examine one important channel linking violent conflict and development outcomes: the level and access to education of children living in contexts of conflict and violence.

Literature review An emerging body of literature has provided valuable empirical evidence on the effects of violent conflict on income and consumption levels, and more generally on the welfare of populations living in areas of violence (Ibáñez and Moya 2009, Justino and Verwimp 2006, Verwimp and Bundervoet 2008). A significant number of studies have also examined the health impact of violent conflict, finding that violence results in negative health effects in terms of lower height-for-age and lower nutritional outcomes among children that will generate long-term consequences on future outcomes. 2 2 See Alderman et al.

Under Portuguese colonial rule, education was administered via the Catholic Church. Churches were the major providers of education and schooling was mostly available to the elite in urban areas. When, in 1975, Indonesia invaded the country, literacy rates were extremely low, at around five percent (UNDP 2002). Gender disparities were also very large. The Indonesian government planned to expand education access to the whole population of Timor Leste. Education was used as a means to control the population, and the Portuguese and Tetum languages were abolished. Under the Indonesian education system, children had to enroll in primary school by the age of 7, and were supposed to finish primary school at 12 years old (grade 6). In 1994, basic education was made compulsory up to low secondary school (nine grades of education up to age 15).

The figure shows that despite the increasing trend a large fraction of individuals have low education levels. Interestingly, all curves start to drop after the 1987 cohort. This decreasing trend is observed among individuals aged 20 or younger in 2007 and provides evidence of a mismatch between the grade attended and the grade that they should have achieved at their age. 4 This is caused by a persistent sluggishness in grade achievement due to the high level of delayed entry to school and high rates of repetition. 5 The impact of the conflict in its different phases and the subsequent reconstruction efforts on schooling levels of children in Timor Leste is therefore unclear. The early years of violence coincided with an education for all policy in which quantity was preferred to quality. In addition, the 1999 violence that followed the withdrawal of Indonesian troops led to the destruction of schools and the removal of children from school. The reconstruction program implemented after 1999 tried to counteract this destruction, and achieved fast progress. However, the education sector was still in very poor shape. In the next section, we investigate in more detail the effects of the conflict on educational outcomes of boys and girls in Timor Leste. 4.

In this way, we are able to obtain observations for each individual over three academic years. All key education variables are time- variant, while other individuals and households characteristics are time-invariant. Within these three years, we focus our analysis on individuals that were of primary school age (between 7 and 12 years old) in each year. In practice, we keep all children aged at minimum 7 years old in 1998 and at maximum 12 years old in 2000. As a consequence, our panel data contains children aged 8-11 years in 1999, the year of the violence. 11 Since we are interested in looking at different effects across groups of individuals, we have split the sample between boys and girls and between younger children (aged 8-9 in 1999) and older children (aged 10-11 in 1999).

The educational impact of the 1999 wave of violence We exploit variation in the number of killings over time and across districts to identify conflict affected individuals. Our intention here is to analyze whether individuals exposed to the violence during their primary school age show different primary school completion rates eight years after the end of the war, relative to those not affected by the conflict. The outcome variable in which we are interested is whether individuals completed primary school in 2007. Figure 7 shows average primary school attainment for all individuals in our sample.

We exclude the deaths due to deprivation because the districts in which this occurred may very likely not be those where the conflict was most intense, but were simply places were the victims were hiding as a consequence of escaping from the troops, and died for starvation. In addition, since killings are less likely to affect entire families than deaths due to deprivation, there is a lower underreporting bias attached to the former measure relative to the latter one (Silva and Ball 2006). We also exclude disappearances as, according to HRVD data, they do not show enough time and geographical variation in order to identify individuals more or less exposed to the conflict. We believe that the number of killings proxies quite well the intensity of the conflict across time and space as their occurrence largely tracked the movements of the Indonesian military operations. The other two types of violations do not seem to show the same pattern (Silva and Ball 2006). For the same reason, we believe that it proxies quite well the destruction of houses and infrastructure and the displacement of people given the way in which the last wave of violence occurred (i. e. the scorch-earth technique employed by Indonesian troops as they moved towards West Timor).

The evidence for Timor Leste suggests that boys were very vulnerable to the educational effects of violence. This result implies that much more attention must be paid to understanding how children are affected by violent conflict and the different roles girls and boys assume during and after the conflict. The third implication is that conflict is not a uniform phenomenon. Violent conflict affects different people and different aspects of their welfare through different channels. In the case of Timor Leste, and in line to evidence from other conflicts such as Colombia (see Ibáñez and Moya 2009 for instance), displacement has particularly adverse effects on educational outcomes. The recently released Education for All Global Monitoring report by UNESCO (2011) portrays displaced populations as the hidden victims of conflict. A significantly disproportional number of displaced children are out of school (even in comparison to conflict-affected populations in the same country), while enrolment rates among displaced populations across the world average around 69 % for primary school and 30 % for secondary school. The analysis of Timor Leste confirms the extreme disadvantage that displaced populations face in terms of lost educational opportunities.

The results from these exercises then dictating the definition and measurement strategy for social cohesion in the quantitative assessment. The participatory research strategy was based mainly on structured focus group discussions. The project conducted consultations in seven territoires with the objective to develop localized understandings of what elements were important to social cohesion in eastern DRC. Participants were selected from civil society and the public sector. 96 individuals participated in these exercises (Table 1), 55 % of whom were men and 45 % of whom were women. 6 Location (Groupement) Date Number Participants Goma City 06 Oct 2017 11 Bukavu City 13 Oct 2017 13 Nyabibwe (Kalehe) 12 Oct 2017 14 Ishungu & Lughendo (Kabare) 12 Oct 2017 15 Kamisimbi (Walungu) 16 Oct 2017 18 Wassa (Walikale) 20 Oct 2017 12 Biiri (Masisi) 03 Nov 2017 13 Table 1: Descriptive Information on Focus Groups The focus group discussions began with an open discussion on social cohesion designed to ascertain participants familiarity with the concept.

The final sampling units are randomly selected adults above the age of 18 to avoid bias toward men and / or heads of households. Multiple attempts are made over the course of one day to contact selected respondents and if necessary, appointments are made for in- terview. Surveys are enumerated by Congolese college students or professionals and interviews are conducted by members of the same gender and ethnicity as respondents to minimize enumerator- induced response bias.

They suggest that development actors have a role to play but that they need to focus their interventions on a set of discrete protracted situations. To produce these numbers, we rely on the Population Statistics Database compiled and main- tained by UNHCR. The database records the number of “ persons of interest ” to UNHCR in each year since 1951 and for each situation, where a situation consists of a pair host-origin countries. The calculation of duration of exile is obtained under a no-turnover assumption, whereby a de- crease in the number of refugees for any given situation is fully attributed to exits from refugee status, while increases are assumed to be fully accounted for by new cases. Although such ap- proach tends to over-estimate the true duration of exile, the lack of individual-level data on regis- tration precludes refining the estimate further.

Data is compiled from a number of sources, including but not restricted to individual registration of refugees and asylum seekers (information typically includes name, gender, date of birth, country of origin, marital status, and place of displacement), tracking of population movement in situa- tions where the movement is fluid or continuous, standardized surveys such as Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys, Labor Force Surveys (LFS), Demographic and Health Sur- veys (DHS), and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), administrative records and registries. Yet, data collection is a difficult exercise, due to both methodological issues (UNHCR 2014) and practical challenges, especially in situations of heightened insecurity or mass refugee situations. To date, UNHCR maintains the most comprehensive statistical database under a uniform methodology. UNHCR publishes annual data on refugee flows and stocks by countries of resi- dence and origin dating back to 1951, shortly after the Office was established. UNHCR publishes annual statistical reports ranging from “ Global Trends ”, “ Mid-year trends ”, “ Asylum trends ”, to a “ Statistical Yearbook ”. There is a consensus that these data provide the most reliable source of information (Sarzin 2016).

Data were provided for 173 countries: 77 percent of these data were based on individual refugee registration, 13 percent on estimates, 5 percent on combined estimation and registration, and 5 percent on other sources. The data are structured as follows: for each situation, the database records annual numbers of persons of concern, which comprise “ Refugees (including refugee-like situations) ”, “ Asylum seekers ”, “ Internally Displaced Persons ”, “ Returnees ”, “ Stateless ” persons, and “ Others of concern ”. A situation is a pair country of origin / country of destination. For example, Somali refugees in Kenya account for one situation, Somali refugees in Ethiopia for another, and South Sudanese refugees in Kenya for yet another. Furthermore, a situation is considered major if it involves more than 25, 000 people. It is referred to as protracted if it is major for at least 5 continuous years. The database, and therefore our analysis, is limited to refugees under UNHCR protection. It does not include asylum seekers, i. e. individuals who have sought international protection under the 1951 Convention but whose claims for refugee status have not yet been determined, and persons in “ refugee-like situations ”, i. e. individuals outside their country or territory of origin who face protection risks similar to those of refugees, but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained (e. g., undocumented Rohingya originating from Myanmar 4 Usage context: primary mention, supporting mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["UNHCR Population Statistics Reference database"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "in Bangladesh).

Palestinian refugees are people “ whose normal place of residence was Mandatory Palestine be- tween June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict ”. Importantly, their patrilineal descendants are also considered refugees regardless of citizenship (UNRWA 2009).

Data Data on forcibly displaced populations are scarce, with many household surveys excluding refugees and IDPs from the sample framework. To ensure that MPI results are representative of these communities and that they can be disaggregated for comparative analysis, an initial review of possible data sets was conducted. Feasibility was determined based on the availability of sufficient sample sizes for forcibly displaced persons for quantitative analyses, as well as inclusion of many of the indicators (on health, education, living standards, etc.) 14 A household is deprived if the respondent reports feeling moderately or very unsafe when alone at home, walking alone after dark, or walking around during the day. In Sudan, the indicator on the ‘ feeling safe from crime and violence when at home ’ was not available, and the indicator only considers answers to the questions on safety when walking alone. 15 Unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, carts with tank, tanker-truck, surface water, or other are considered as unsafe water sources according to international guidelines.

Overall, the censored headcount ratios (proportion of people who are poor and deprived in a given indicator) are lower among non-displaced communities than among refugees and IDPs, but there are large differences in which indicators are the most salient in different countries. The indicators with the largest difference between the two populations are bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria. These findings reinforce the need for policies and programming that take into account the measured experiences of IDPs and refugees. In this way, the MPI can function both as tool to monitor, track, and bear witness to the lived experiences of forcibly displaced communities, as well as advise on evidence-based interventions that address the needs of the local population.

As the Sudanese sample surveys IDPs living in the Abu Shouk and El Salam camps, we must understand these deprivations with the background that these settlements were created as emergency and crisis responses rather than durable, long-term solutions (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019). Although Sudan does have a national electric grid that supplies electricity to the urban and peri-urban areas of the nearby city El Fasher, IDP communities living in the camps report limited connection to the city ’ s electricity supply, reflected in the high deprivations in the electricity and cooking fuel indicators. The ad-hoc construction of dwellings in the two camps explains why 71 % of the IDP households in Abu Shouk and 65 % in El Salam live in tukuls or other permanent mud or wood structures (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019: p. 50), both of which register as unimproved housing types.

Exposure to unclean cooking fuels and inadequate housing can lead to poor health outcomes, while lack of access to electricity and a bank account further excludes individuals from labor market integration and livelihood opportunities that would empower forcibly displaced persons to overcome their multiple, overlapping deprivations. Clearly, displacement status puts individuals at a greater risk of poverty than their host community neighbors, and we can unpack those risks in greater detail using the MPI. Results can also be broken down to show the percentage contribution of each indicator to multidimensional poverty (see Figure 2).

Gender differences in multidimensional poverty Next we examine differences in multidimensional poverty outcomes by the gender of the household head. Existing literature points out the limitation of household level MPI analysis in masking the intrahousehold distribution of deprivations, and thus being less sensitive to gender based differences in individual outcomes within the family unit, which might lead to underestimation of inequality and gender gaps (Espinoza-Delgado and Klasen 2018; Franco 2017; Klasen and Lahoti 2020, Rodriguez, 2016). However, as the MPI identifies poverty at the household level, our initial analysis focuses on disaggregated results by the gender of the household head. 19 We acknowledge that this approach has several limitations since most women reside in male-headed households, and the composition of households can change after displacement due to separation of family members, and widowhood. Regardless, the analysis at the household level remains relevant given the high prevalence of female-headed households that emerge after displacement, with the analysis showing large differences across countries between households based on the gender of the head.

To uncover the main drivers of the observed gender based differences in multidimensional poverty at country level, we study the absolute contribution of the gender difference in each indicator to the overall household gender gap (see Figure 6), calculated as the difference between the censored headcount ratio for males versus females. We find that in Ethiopia, the gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mostly driven by the difference in financial insecurity measures (lack of legal ID and bank account) and health measures (early marriage, physical safety, and food insecurity), which is further reinforced by the differences in the living standard and education measures. Female-headed refugee households are more food insecure, live in unimproved housing, have lower access to electricity, are more likely to be married at an early age, and have lower access to legal identification and a bank account. In South Sudan, gender gap that disadvantages female-headed households is mainly explained by the differential in the financial insecurity and health measures, but cumulative gaps in the living standard and education indicators also contribute to the overall gap at the household level.

Most of the displaced populations from the first group live in host communities with good access to basic services such as sanitation and water, and safety nets.

In other words, this group has relatively better housing conditions, but may lack short-term resources that reduce their consumption expenditure. 22 In summary, expenditure in these three categories is computed based on the quantities and prices of a selected list of items in each category. See more details about the computation of the consumption aggregate in Appendix A of the Somali Poverty Profile (Pape et al, 2017).

This phenomenon can be explained by essentially two factors. The first relates to the humanitarian ‐ development nexus. For the longest time, refugees and IDPs remained the quasi monopoly of humanitarian organizations whose mandate is essentially the humanitarian protection of refugees and IDPs. These organizations are not typically staffed by economists and analysists but by field workers and lawyers. There was, therefore, little demand for hard economics on forced displacement for a very long time. This is changing as development organizations typically staffed by economists have started to work on forced displacement situations. The second factor relates to lack of good data. As we will see in the data section, data collection of mobile populations is complex and the main organizations in charge of data collection of refugee and IDPs data are humanitarian organizations that do not necessarily have the complex skills required for issues like sampling, questionnaire design and data analysis and have a duty to protect data by mandate.

This ambiguity aversion violates the postulates of the subjective expected utility theory and offers a possible insight into why some people may choose to live under a conflict where risks are known rather than escaping elsewhere where risks and conditions are unknown. A more recent critique to the EU model includes Khaneman and Tversky (1979) prospect theory. The central theme of the critique is that people underweight outcomes that have very low probability of occurring and overweight outcomes that have a very high probability (this is called the certainty effect). Considering equal weighting as in EU theory can lead to the Allais paradox (Allais, 1953) where different choice frameworks can lead to opposite conclusions about dominance of alternative choices. Khaneman and Tversky (1979) also showed that, for negative prospects, preferences are reversed as compared to positive prospects (this is called the reflection effect).

Expected utility can be looked at as a one ‐ person game but the value added of game theory in the context of forced displacement relates to multiple ‐ person games. Suppose that actions taken by individuals under conflict situations affect the actions of others and ultimately one ’ s own action (the classic prisoner ’ s dilemma for example). This is what game theory is good in modeling and it could provide valuable contributions to the study of collective behavior under forced displacement situations (see for example Zeager and Bascom, 1996). New branches of economics such as neuroeconomics and behavioral economics, which combine elements of psychology and neuroscience with elements of economics, offer alternative new avenues to the construction of utility models in a forced displacement context. For example, neuroeconomics developed a hierarchical module oriented approach (Sanfey et al., 2006) whereby individuals take decisions in a hierarchical manner where multiple systems of specialized processing modules transform specific inputs into outputs in organized decision stages.

Households may decide to leave and come back several times. In econometric terms, this means that longitudinal data may be left and right censored and have spells within. They are therefore the most complex set of panel data possible and require particular treatment of data and modeling. Survival or duration models can usually accommodate many of these complexities but it is very rare to find similar data sets used in published articles. Collecting such type of data is also not obvious, particularly if conflict is intense and survey areas cannot be reached. This is an issue where empirical economics could provide a real contribution by defining the optimal data format and adapting panel models to this format.

As mentioned, the UNHCR is really the only statistical agency for refugees and the UNHCR registry the only population census. As for any other populations, sampling requires the preparation of a master sample that derives from the population census. With various degrees of knowledge and accuracy, this is also what happens with refugees. However, the master sample is more difficult to construct than for regular populations because refugees live in camps and outside camps and are diluted in a host population with different types of arrangements. Some households rent, others stay at relatives ’ places, other live in makeshift shacks and others stay in camps. The information available in the UNHCR registry (the census) can also be quite inaccurate, as already discussed, and the degree of accuracy changes for different groups of refugees. Stratification by urban and rural areas, a typical approach in sampling, may mean little for a population that is mostly in urban areas whether in camps or outside camps.

Information on occupation is also available, but only at the level of 2-digit ISCO-08 classification. This information is enough to distinguish between white- and blue-collar occupations but it is not enough to observe additional relevant pandemic-related job characteristics such as the degree of contact with the public. 3. 2 Descriptive statistics Figure (1) tracks the evolution of labor market stocks in the West Bank and Gaza respectively over time.

This paper surveys three sets of hypotheses forwarded in the conflict literature regarding the relationship between the size and location of population groups: Hypotheses based on pure population mass, on distances, on population concentrations, and some residual state-level characteristics. The hypotheses are tested on a new dataset – ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Events Dataset) – which disaggregates internal conflicts into individual events. The analysis covers 14 countries in Central Africa. The conflict event data are juxtaposed with geographically disaggregated data on populations, distance to capitals, borders, and road networks. The paper develops a statistical method to analyze this type of data. The analysis confirms several of the hypotheses.

But it is not certain that such location-specific factors are the only relevant ones. The size of a country itself may affect risk over and beyond what is implied by sheer population size, distance, and population distributions. If the economies of scale with respect to defense are sufficiently large, the risk of conflict events at a location at a given distance from the capital may be lower the larger is the country (Collier & Hoeffler, 2002).

We have created a dataset using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program which converted large territories into smaller portions of 8. 6 km x 8. 6 km, totaling 74 square kilometers. Each of these grid squares are our units of observation (we will refer to them as squares). This approach is similar to that of Buhaug & Rød (2006), with two important differences. First, their squares are much larger (100x100km). Second, they code the dependent variable considerably more crudely than is done in the ACLED dataset described below.

Events in one conflict may also affect the likelihood of other conflicts, such as the spillover of the conflict in Rwanda into Eastern DRC. The statistical model employed to analyze these data must handle the dependence between observations. We will do this by explicitly modeling the probability of an event in a location as a function of preceding events in the same and in adjacent squares. We can do this since we know both the precise date and the precise geographic location of each event. We use an adaption of the calendar-time Cox regression model presented in Raknerud & Hegre (1997) for this purpose. In Cox regression, the dependent variable is the transition between `states of nature'-- the transition from peace to conflict in a square.

Given the importance placed on the subject by policy makers in Pakistan and those internationally, it is troubling that none of the reports and articles reviewed based their analysis on publicly available data or established statistical methodologies. This paper uses published data sources and a census of schooling choice to show that existing estimates are inflated by an order of magnitude. Madrassas account for less than 1 percent of all enrollment in the country and there is no evidence of a dramatic increase in recent years. The educational landscape in Pakistan has changed substantially in the last decade, but this is due to an explosion of private schools, an important fact that has been left out of the debate on Pakistani education.

Widely promoted theories simply do not explain this substantial variation within households. 1 Corresponding Author: Tahir Andrabi (tandrabi @ pomona. edu).

These are the official 1998 Census of Population (Government of Pakistan) 3, the 1991, 1998, and 2001 rounds of the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey4, and a 2003 census of schooling choice conducted by our research team. The fact that three sources use different definitions of madrassa enrollment, and were collected at different times by individuals with very different institutional affiliations provides independent verification of enrollment estimates and allows us to determine the sensitivity of our results. The household data tell us whether a child is enrolled full-time in a madrassa, but not whether a child goes for an hour on any given day to study the Quran. Therefore this data does not confound full-time with part-time attendees — a child who attends a public school during the day and a madrassa in the evening is recorded as enrolled in a public school. This is an important distinction since parents might use a modicum of madrassa or mosque based education to teach their children about religion. Consequently, if we contrast these household-based numbers with numbers from establishment-based reports, discrepancies can arise. From virtually any policy perspective, including evening quran classes in enrollment figures seems misguided.

Consequently, it yields sufficient madrassa enrollment to examine correlations with household attributes in a meaningful manner (this data source provides information on four times as many children as the PIHS). Table A2 in the appendix shows how these different data sources are used in the paper. Each source asks about madrassa enrollment in a slightly different but comparable way. The population census (1998) asks about the field-of-education (“ What is name ’ s field of education? ”) with options that include (for instance) engineering, medicine, or religious education. This question is also asked of all literate adults irrespective of their current enrollment status, allowing for comparisons in the stock of religious education over time. The PIHS rounds ask, “ What type of school is name currently attending? ” with options that include government school, private school, or deeni-madrassa (religious schooling). Finally, the LEAPS census directly asks, “ Is the child enrolled in a madrassa or an Islamic education school? ” Fortunately these different questions all give rise to similar numbers. This is reassuring since it suggests that any one particular result is not driven by the specific question or definition that was used. 7 This is complemented with the census of private schools carried out by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in 2000 (www. statpak. gov. pk).

Since the data were collected prior to 2001, geopolitical changes after September 11 could have led to greater madrassa enrollment. In addition, the household-based survey faces the usual problems of accurately estimating a low-probability event — although enrollment is less than 1 percent in these surveys, the sampling error is large (see Bauman, 2001, for a description of similar problems in estimating home-schooling in the United States). Finally, while the census of populations does not face the problem of small samples, it is not that recent (1998) and some may have reservations regarding the quality of government data. 10 The LEAPS census of schooling choice conducted in 2003 provides a rough check on these numbers (see appendix for details). This census was conducted in three districts of Punjab and villages were chosen randomly based on the criterion that each village must have at least one private school. Typically, this means that the villages lies somewhere between fully urban and fully rural populations and are not representative of the districts that they are in.

There are three potential explanations for this difference. First, the LEAPS data is not representative of the district and could be off the mark for districts with wide variation in madrassa enrollment across rural and urban samples. Second, the experience of the last five years could have varied dramatically across districts — in some, the enrollment fractions did not change and in others it increased substantially. Third, the data could point to systematic problems with the census estimates from certain districts, or the statistical problems that arise when we try to estimate low-probability events. 3. 3 Explaining the Differences A number of reasons could account for differences between the estimates presented here and those in the popular press. 1. Differences in the sampling unit. Our estimates are all based on household surveys — an interviewer goes to a household and asks about the enrollment status of every child. Some census estimates of home rather than religious schooling in the United States — the former ranges from 1 to 2 percent (Bauman 2001) while the latter is closer to 8 percent (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001). 10 In our own analysis, we find the quality of the data generated by the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Pakistan to be consistently high.

The four provinces or Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and NWFP, together with Islamabad, account for more than 97 percent of the population. Geographically, parts of Balochistan, the NWFP and FATA border Afghanistan. Sindh and Balochistan are sparsely populated provinces, with the exception of Karachi in Sindh, which is the single biggest metropolis in the country with a population approaching 10 million. We use data from the population census, 1998, as well as the census of private schooling, 2000, to provide estimates of madrassa, private, and government school enrollment in each district except for those in the province of FATA. The geographical dispersion of madrassa enrollment depends on how we define madrassa prevalence. There are three alternatives.

Thus, a district with two children enrolled in madrassas, and 20 children enrolled in private or public schools out of a total of 100 children will have exactly the same gross enrollment ratio (GER) as a district with two children enrolled in madrassas and 98 children enrolled in regular schools. To the extent that we want to distinguish between these two districts, a third statistic, the ratio of children enrolled in madrassas to total enrollment (the madrassa fraction of enrollment or MFOE), can also be used. The picture changes dramatically depending on whether we use the raw numbers or the ratio of children enrolled in madrassas to total enrollment. However, since enrollment in madrassas is highly correlated with total enrollment, there is little difference in the pattern of madrassa enrollment whether we use the GER or the fraction of enrolled children in madrassas.

The notion that the madrassa movement coincided with resistance to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is supported by the 1998 data from the population census. The increase in the stock of religiously educated individuals starts with the cohort that came of age in 1979 (the year of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) and the largest increase is for the cohort co-terminus with the rise of the Taliban.

There is no consensus on how far a person must flee in order to be considered internally displaced.

These data largely focus on the scale and trends in conflict-induced displacement (i. e. the numbers of forced displaced) with some coverage of other elements such as demographics, location and accommodation. Globally, there has been an unprecedented increase in the numbers of displaced people over the last decade, largely explained by the expansion in the number of reported IDPs. Historical data show a substantial increase in the numbers of forced displaced (see Figure 3), however the expanding geographical scope and quality of displacement monitoring systems are likely to account for much of the increase in forced displacement figures. The numbers of refugees under UNHCR ’ s mandate have recorded a number of variations over time, peaking in the early 1990s (at a level 10 percent over 2015 numbers) with the conflict and displacement associated with the end of the Cold War.

Population movement tracking systems In situations where the movement of displaced populations is fluid or continuous, a movement tracking system can be a useful tool for providing rough estimates of population flows, including recurrent displacements. Movement tracking systems are useful for monitoring fluid population movements (including spontaneous and organized, internal and cross-border, and returns and resettlement) in remote or inaccessible routes and locations (including displacement sites, places of origin, and places of return and resettlement).

A review of data collection and compilation methodologies shows broad variations in terms of the accuracy and reliability of the global estimates of forced displacement that are widely used. Headline figures on forced displacement are significant in shaping public opinion and are critical for sound decision making, both to inform the allocation of resources and to design effective humanitarian and development responses.

Options to improve forced displacement statistics Significant efforts are needed to enhance the reliability, comparability, quality and scope of the global data on forced displacement. In particular, more robust estimates are needed of the scale (stocks, flows and locations) and typology (demographics, location and accommodation) of forced displacement crises.

For example, new methodologies (such as high resolution satellite imagery and unmanned drones) may expand the coverage of data collection efforts in insecure or inaccessible areas.

The international community has recognized this challenge, adopting social cohesion as a core objective and tool of peacebuilding (UNDP 2020, UNICEF 2021). Forced displacement creates major disruption to social dynamics among both displaced persons and host communities. The influx of displaced people has the potential to put strain on the host community by creating inequalities in access to services, resources, and income. At the same time, social cohesion can facilitate collective action for example by allowing pop- ulations to preemptively evacuate and escape (Arnon, McAlexander & Rubin 2021). High levels of social cohesion can improve outcomes after traumatic events either providing individual or so- cial assets, such as resilience (¨ Ozc ¸ ¨ ur ¨ umez, Hoxha & ˙ Ic ¸ duygu 2020) or mental stability (Greene, Paranjothy & Palmer 2015).

But the salience of different elements of social cohesion may be contextually driven and differ across several dimensions, such as the type of forced displacement experienced locally (IDP versus refugee, for example) 1 and local 1We employ the following definitions for different types of displacement to ensure analytical consistency: refugees are “ someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. ” Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are “ someone who has been forced to flee their home but never cross an international border. ” Returnees are “ someone who was of concern to UNHCR when outside their country of origin and who remains so for a limited period (usually two years) after returning home to their country of origin.

It is commonly accepted that displacement negatively affects social cohesion, and that forced displacement occurs in contexts with low levels of social cohesion to begin with. Protracted displacement can lead to political tensions, as associations are formed along ethnic or political lines and new grievances emerge. In contexts of internal displacement, ethnic and social tensions (which may have been the drivers or consequences of the displacement) are exacerbated by the presence of IDPs. For refugees, deeper social and cultural divides may exist, hindering social cohesion (De Berry & Roberts 2018). Indeed, in some situations, protracted displacement and expectations of retaliation on return create greater politicization of the displaced along ethnic lines (Harild, Vinck, Vedsted & de Berry 2013). More generally, economic competition, poor governance, lack of rule of law, and limited access to scarce resources are features of the living conditions for most IDPs and refugees and oftentimes the host population, further hindering social cohesion (Munoz & Shanks 2019).

In 2017, UNOCHA estimated that around 500, 000 IDPs were in camp- like settings, whereas 3. 3 million sought refuge in host communities (Jacobs & Kyamusugulwa 4The qualitative analysis covers only the Kivu provinces, but the quantitative analysis covers all three. 5Data provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center DRC Page, accessed May 14, 2021. 6", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "7 15 ° E 20 ° E 25 ° E 30 ° E 10 ° S 5 ° S 0 ° 5 ° N South Kivu North Kivu Ituri (a) DRC, with North Kivu, South Kivu, and Ituri Shaded 24 ° E 26 ° E 28 ° E 30 ° E 32 ° E 34 ° E 4 ° S 2 ° S 0 ° 2 ° N 4 ° N G G G G G G G (b) Kivu Provinces, Territoires, and Focus Group Locations Figure 1: Area of Interest: Kivu Provinces", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "500000 1000000 1500000 2000000 2012 2016 2020 Year Newly Displaced Persons Due to Conflict New Displacements, DRC Figure 2: Temporal Trends in IDP Flows, Democratic Republic of Congo 2018). Many are displaced multiple times in short bursts as the security situation in their com- munities fluctuates (Zeender & Rothing 2010). When fleeing violence, IDPs in DRC oftentimes attempt to stay close to their home communities so they can monitor their properties with the intention of returning once the security situation improves (White 2014). In areas near violence, host communities are frequently and repetitively asked to host IDPs: by one count, host families often host IDPs around three to four times, for around three months on average (Simpson 2010). Alternatively, many IDPs flee to urban areas, increasing slum areas in cities like Goma and Bukavu (Zeender & Rothing 2010).

Such dynamics may have fundamentally different implications for social cohesion and require different policy. 3 Defining Social Cohesion in Contexts of Forced Displacement Existing definitions of social cohesion motivate the participatory research strategies used define social cohesion in this project. Social cohesion is a conceptual construct for which there is no universally agreed upon measure. In a comprehensive study reviewing whether community driven development positively impacts social cohesion, (King, Samii & Snilstveit 2010) note that both the attitudinal and behavioral measures of social cohesion manifest in highly context specific ways, making it difficult to identify universal and cross-cutting measures of social cohesion. In general terms, social cohesion is defined as a set of societal characteristics or attributes that foster “ mutual moral support, which instead of throwing the individual on his own resources, leads him to share in the collective energy and supports his own when exhausted ” (Berkman, Kawachi & Glymour 2014).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Scholars and practitioners studying social cohesion in the last two decades generally agree that social cohesion consists of two intertwined features of society: 1) the absence of latent social conflict, including income inequality, racial / ethnic tensions, and disparities in political participa- tion and 2) the presence of strong social bonds such as high levels of trust, norms of reciprocity, presence of associations and the presence of institutions of conflict management (Jenson 2010).

The relevant set of relationships and institutions that matter to social cohesion vary according to context. Although some studies use social cohesion and social capital interchangeably, King, Samii & Snilstveit (2010) argue that social cohesion emphasizes the group and the patterns of cooperation rather than the assets that give rise to them. Yet the question remains as to whether there is a set of common thematic concepts that can be operationally measured. De Berry & Roberts (2018) note “ initiatives to improve the definition and measurement of social cohesion have involved the development of subjective and objective indicators across the horizontal (inter-group) and vertical axis (person-state).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "For example, the horizontal could be evident in the levels of trust in other social groups and the vertical evident in the level of trust in the institutions of the state. ” Social cohesion thus represents a broader social fabric, not just a particular circumstance, issue, or event.

This participatory process based on “ personas ” developed a better understanding of the concepts and outlined key questions that participants felt were relevant to social cohesion in eastern DRC. The findings from the seven focus groups were combined to draw a single concept map (Figure 3). Together, the participants outlined three broad domains that can be subsequently divided into dimensions, sub-dimensions, and finally indicators. Some overlap between dimensions is unavoid- able because of the conceptual proximity of many of the topics discussed in the focus groups. As such, the three domains of social cohesion, as well as their respective dimensions and sub dimen- sions, are interrelated.

The defining characteristic of group relations was either shared geographic origin, shared ethnicity, or shared religion, with ethnicity and geographic belonging being much more common than religion. Three distinct but interrelated dimensions of relationships further emerged. Participants associated cohabitation with character traits and human values, notably ‘ respect ’ and ‘ tolerance ’. According to most participants, these traits are fostered through education, both at home, in the community, and in schools. Some participants spoke about the importance of openness to learning, and to be able to reflect as necessary to cohabitation with others. People also spoke about the importance of communication, whether through media or dialogue spaces, as a factor that can contribute to peaceful cohabitation in so far that the opportunity to exchange with the other enables knowing the other and promotes mutual understanding, the latter of which is considered necessary for cohabitation. Harmony was often discussed alongside peace and at times used interchangeably to describe a desirable overall quality of a community.

Regardless of the degree of ethnic heterogeneity, unity was frequently described in terms of community members having shared objectives. In some consultations, participants noted that socialization and intermarriages across ethnic, linguistic, and religious divides constitute a demonstration of unity.

While closely related to relationships, solidarity was emphasized as a separate domain. In some focus groups, participants noted that solidarity was the very raison-d ’ etre of social cohesion and its most valuable benefit. Solidarity was divided into three dimensions: collaboration, sharing, and support. In some rural areas, participants cited examples of community infrastructure which had been built by the entire community, or of jointly managed public goods (e. g. water) as strong exam- ples of collaboration. Such collaborative efforts represent the cornerstone of solidarity for some participants. Collaboration emanates from having common objectives and working towards them together. Community associations or organizations aimed at achieving common objectives were given as examples of collaboration.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Participants also discussed the organization of ceremonies cel- ebrating births, marriages, or deaths as examples of collaborations. In urban consultations, many participants suggested that there is less cohesion in the city compared to rural areas because people do not work together as one when a neighbor dies or a relative is getting married. In contrast, some participants suggested that in rural areas, an entire village would be mobilized if there is a need to organize a wedding or a funeral. A third instance of collaboration cited across the consultations was that of community service (e. g. salongo) or community participation. This is also tied to civic duty, and while acknowledged as an example of collaboration, participants noted that authorities – both customary and formal – sometimes co-opt community service in a predatory manner. 14", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Sharing (partage) was a strong component of social cohesion across all consultations. Sharing was expressed in different contexts and at different levels. On one hand, participants cited religious values and charity, while on the other hand, it was conceptualized in a more structural manner and associated with notions of equality. One participant in Kalehe noted that “ if my neighbor has less than me, and is in need, he might steal from me, and I might not trust him. ” Inequalities with regards to the distribution of resources were cited as an impediment to social cohesion and evoked that “ sharing resources ” was thus a necessary remedy. This discussion also touched on issues of governance as many participants felt that the root cause of the unequal distribution of resources was favoritism by leaders for members of their own group or otherwise a truncated economic system that favored some groups over others (see domain 3 on governance). People also specified the importance of sharing information and exchanges as a factor contributing to social cohesion. Additionally, the flow of information between leaders or authorities and members of the community was also cited as necessary to social cohesion.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "In addition to the formal forms of collaboration and to the importance of equity between in- dividuals and groups, persons consulted also evoked the importance of basic, quotidian solidarity, which we label as support.

Support did not give rise to many sub dimensions during the consultations, but scales can be developed to measure the attitudes and behavior of individuals in relation to quotidian solidarity. 3. 1. 3 Governance Finally, some participants (in Goma especially) noted the accountability of leaders to the popula- tion as a factor contributing to social cohesion. Elsewhere, participants discussed governance but in an indirect, and often negative, manner. The governance factor can be broken down into three dimensions.

While in some instances, the government ’ s responsibility to ensure access to basic public goods was cited, this point was not heavily emphasized. In some cases, however, participants did note that development was the shared responsibility of the community and that ensuring the education of youth would endow individuals with the tools necessary to foster development. A second recurring theme describe how the inequitable distribution of resources (of land in particular) encroaches upon social cohesion and harmony within a community. While rarely pointing fingers directly at authorities, participants did implicitly evoke corruption and nepotism as factors that can create inequities. The distribution of land was cited in almost all consultations. Some participants pointed to laws and customs that favored some groups over others, and in par- ticular men over women.

The third dimension involved participation. Most participants felt that a community in which groups are excluded or marginalized does not have social cohesion. Nonetheless, they often recog- nized that the primacy / dominance of some groups was rooted in tradition and that trying to change an established social order can also destabilize the social cohesion of a community.

In almost all focus groups, care was taken to also include groups that are traditionally marginal- ized such as pygmies. They were usually the most critical of discriminatory practices by both authorities and other members of the community. Stereotypes and prejudice against some groups, whether women or pygmies also emerged as a factor hindering their participation in social and decision making. On one occasion, a participant challenged the view that the exclusion of certain groups was solely the fault of dominant / majority groups but also partly the fault of the minorities themselves, who resorted to attitudes of auto-victimization. 3. 2 Hosting Displaced Populations and Perceptions of Social Cohesion Social cohesion, consistent with the locally led definition presented above, is not a static state.

These perceptions are influenced by the impact that hosting displaced populations has on the local economy. Low labor market integration of refugees can make it more difficult for exposure and integration to occur (Bauer, Braun & Kvasnicka 2013, Del Carpio, Seker & Yener 2018). Increases in displaced populations have been shown to increase the price of non-aid food items and are associated with more modest price effects for aid-related food items (Alix-Garcia & Saah 2010). In these ways, hosting displaced populations can strain economic conditions, potentially straining social cohesion locally. Other research finds more mixed implications. The probability of having a negative outcome for host communities in the consumer and labor markets is relatively low (Verme & Schuettler 2021).

Moreover, broader conflict dynamics can make in-group rela- tionships more important (Fearon & Laitin 2000). Such experiences may increase the importance and perceptions of intra-ethnic or intra-religious relationships. Second, hosting displaced persons is itself an expression of solidarity and may increase oppor- tunities for acts of solidarity as well. Many host communities may have themselves been displaced at other stages of the conflict (Beytrison & Kalis 2013). This set of experiences can change per- ceptions of hosting displaced populations through empathy- by increasing appreciation for the difficulty that comes with hosting and by understanding the hardship that displaced persons are experiencing. One study in eastern DRC found that 80 percent of hosts said they would do it again and 60 percent reported a positive bond with their displaced guests (Rohwerder 2013). Many communities host displaced out-groups, not just co-ethnics. Contact can break down stereotypes and create bonds between members of out-groups.

This can have cross-cutting implications, as host communities may resent the attention / resources paid to the IDPs, but host communities may also benefit from the increased attention paid to local problems. In contexts of informal displacement, host communities can share more equally in resources that arrive to support displaced populations, mitigating the negative perceptions that may grow based on these distributional challenges.

First, they might not know that displaced persons are present, a risk that is especially acute for IDPs. Because the paper is primarily interested in how knowledge of hosting impacts perceptions of social cohesion, this measurement challenge is not as acute a problem as it may at first seem. Respondents must know that IDPs or refugees are present in their community for hosting to impact their perceptions of social cohesion.

In addition, the findings show that the relationship between hosting displaced persons and per- ceptions of social cohesion is not necessarily altogether negative. Instead, refugees and IDPs are associated with host community perceptions of social cohesion differently; refugees in general cor- respond to lower levels of social cohesion than IDPs. We also find that hosting in cities and general population exhibit some important differences. The backlash frequently observed in refugee stud- ies may not be present in situations of internal displacements and such an effect can be mediated by contextual factors of displacement.

Despite the appeal of guaranteed rent for a year plus funding for housing upgrades, some landlords preferred not to “ bind ” themselves to the program and the particular recipient refugee household currently residing in their property. 3 One of the study ’ s main empirical findings is that we detect no significant positive impacts of the housing assistance program for refugees along a range of pre-specified primary outcomes, with the exception of housing expenditures where there is the expected (and somewhat mechanical) drop in spending.

The war began in 2011 with pro-democracy demonstrations against President Bashar al- Assad, whose government responded with lethal force against the protesters, leading to escalating violence that drove the country into civil war. Considering Syria ’ s 2010 population was 21 million, more than half of its population was displaced during the study period (UNHCR 2023b). Jordan hosts roughly 650, 000 registered Syrian refugees, accounting for about 6 % of its popu- lation of 11. 1 million people (UNHCR 2023a).

All eligible applicants living in the treatment communities were assigned to treatment. In all analysis below, error terms are clustered at the community level. There were several reasons for the cluster randomized design, including the ability to streamline implementation (and thus lower program costs), to reduce conflict among refugee households as- signed to treatment versus control, and to improve the analysis of treatment spillovers onto host community members by boosting the local saturation of program assistance, thereby making it more salient to neighbors.

These proximate outcome measures can be seen as capturing successful program implementation. To measure physical improvements to the shelter, we constructed an index of self-reported floor, roof, and wall quality; electricity and water access; and crowding. Housing expen- ditures were measured in two ways: First, in the midline phone survey, respondents re- ported their total monthly housing expenditures, including the payments provided by the implementing organization. Second, in the endline in-person survey, once assistance had ended, participants reported their monthly out-of-pocket housing expenditures (excluding the amount paid by the implementer). The latter is our preferred measure of the direct effect of the program on housing expenditures, because it allows us to test whether treated house- holds experienced rental savings. Because the endline measure was collected after assistance ended, any observed expenditure reductions would most likely be an underestimate of the benefits experienced during the program. Recall that HSP also required the landlord to not raise rent for an additional year after the assistance ended, which could help account for any persistent effects on housing expenditures in the treatment group. 2.

This is a nontrivial proportion of households ’ budgets: it is equivalent to over 10 % of households ’ total monthly labor income pre-pandemic (as control households reported 218 USD PPP in average monthly food assistance and pre-pandemic monthly labor income of 503 USD PPP). It is worth noting that this measure of assistance includes both formal assistance, such as from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Food Program, as well as informal assistance from local organizations and community members. Regardless of the channel, this substantial decrease in the household ’ s food budget seems likely to have contributed to worse household food security. This is in line with conversations that the research team had with several humanitarian aid organizations during the pandemic, in which some implementers sought to allocate emergency assistance to households that were not already benefiting from large forms of assistance, such as the HSP. The midline survey data also indicates that there were several other unexpected short-run changes in household outcomes. For instance, it appears that changes in household composi- tion may have further contributed to household hunger (Panel C, Table 5).

Interestingly, the neighbors of treated households have more accurate beliefs about aid levels, with fewer of them believing that refugees receive extremely high levels of aid that are rarely observed.

The large negative program impact on the neighbor social attitude and perceptions index are predominantly driven by individuals with lower scores on the social desirability scale, indicating that they are less likely to suffer from experi- menter demand effects. In our view, this lends additional credibility to the negative social cohesion result, and also implies that the study may underestimate the extent of the negative effect on social attitudes, if Jordanian neighbors with higher social desirability tendencies do not truthfully report their possibly even more negative views of Syrian refugees. 7 Comparing Forecasts to Estimated Program Impacts Comparing experts ’ forecasts to estimated the program effects allows us to highlight areas where the study results advanced learning relative to prior expectations.

There is thus a meaningful and significant (at 95 % confidence) difference between the predicted and actual effects on the child outcome, indicating that the study generated new insights that diverge from the experts ’ priors. There is also a meaningful and significant gap between experts ’ forecasts and the observed effects of the program on neighbors ’ social attitudes (Figure 3, Panel B). Experts had anticipated an average null effect of the program on Jordanian neighbors across all three primary pre-specified outcomes (namely, policy support, economic perceptions, and social attitudes), and for the first two the predictions and actual estimates are all close to zero. The program ’ s significant negative impact on neighbors ’ social attitudes is significantly different from the predicted null effect at 95 % confidence, once again a meaningful update relative to priors. 8 Conclusion This paper investigates the short- and medium-term effects of a substantial housing subsidy pro- gram on Syrian refugee households and their Jordanian neighbors.

The growth in the number of FDPs poses a challenge to the measurement of global and national poverty. Those who are forcibly displaced and in need of international protection tend to be persons who have lost their assets, financial resources, and social networks. They are typically very poor with no obvious path out of poverty. For refugees, their number vanishes from poverty statistics of their own country because they are no longer counted in the place of origin. Both IDPs and refugees are also not properly accounted for in the country in which they reside. Their numbers – even though high in absolute terms – are often low relative to the non-displaced population (with some exceptions like Lebanon and South Sudan). Hence, they do not explicitly show up in official statistics. Even if – as in some but not all countries – their locations are appropriately included in the sampling frame, they are unlikely to be sampled due to their small proportion relative to the population and high clustering in specific locations. 3 https: / / www. unhcr. org / refugee-statistics / 4 Note that the IASC definition of IDPs explicitly includes those fleeing from disasters.

It only started to collect data on income more systematically when budget restrictions forced the agency to start targeting cash programs. WFP did collect data on consumption regularly, but this effort was largely focused on food consumption for food security and nutritional assessments rather than poverty measurement. With little data and visibility, the economics profession and poverty specialists across the social sciences have also largely neglected FDPs (Verme, 2016; Dionigi and Tabasso, 2020). It is only in the past decade that development agencies have taken an interest in FDPs and, together with humanitarian agencies, started to consider how to gather data and measure poverty among FDPs continuously and rigorously. This has changed over the past decade. For example, the UNHCR has significantly invested in improving the measurement of income and employment using the ILO standard approach and has adopted the poverty headcount to measure progress towards the Global Compact for Refugees (https: / / www. unhcr. org / global- compact-refugees-indicator-report /).

Today, microdata on these populations can be found in two main publicly available repositories: The World Bank microdata library and the UNHCR microdata library recently established in collaboration with the World Bank.

The existence of the UNHCR refugee registration system, which can be regarded as a live census of refugees, has encouraged others to use cross-survey imputation techniques to estimate poverty among refugees even in the absence of income or consumption data (Dang and Verme, 2021, Beltramo et al., 2021). The mobile nature of refugees and IDPs also lends itself to experimenting with new methodologies to measure poverty with alternative methods such as mobile phones (Blumenstock et al., 2015; Pape et al. 2020, Wieser et al., 2021), or satellite imagery and remote sensing data (Abelson et al., 2014; Neal et al., 2016).

Sampling is one of these reasons. Refugees and especially IDPs are mobile populations which can move into host areas, even if they are initially residing in camps, and might settle outside camps in previously uninhabited areas. These factors make the inclusion of these populations in national master samples for surveys difficult. For refugees, this problem is partly overcome by the UNHCR registration system (proGres) which requires all registered refugees to provide a set of basic information including location and socio-economic characteristics of the household ’ s members. However, using the proGres registration system to sample refugees has its own challenges. This system is available in some countries but not in others where a system may be missing or managed by the local authorities and not available to others. Where the system exists, many refugees are not registered, some are registered but their information is outdated or missing, while identifying the unit of observation (household, family, case) may be challenging although in other contexts such as Bangladesh, the registration system may be up to date and almost universal. In other words, extracting a representative sample of refugees in many countries, even when the proGres registration system is available, is not simple.

This approach requires appropriate enumeration area maps that can be easily defined through satellite images for camps, but might not be available across the country for FDPs living in host communities. Implementation can be expensive especially with limited knowledge about the number of FDPs in enumeration areas. However, area-based sampling has the big advantage of not requiring FDPs to register. In contrast, list-based sampling uses an existing list of all FDPs and randomly chooses a sample among them. If additional characteristics are available, like location or country of origin, the sample can be stratified. However, the sample will only be representative of registered FDPs.

However, the political economy and data privacy can make these efforts challenging. For host countries, FDPs may be only one of the many marginalized groups they may be concerned with. With limited budgets, statistical agencies need to justify prioritizing one group over another. Furthermore, data privacy is particularly relevant for FDPs. National sampling frames are constructed based on census information, including personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, names as well as GPS locations in some cases. The UNHCR and national governments generally work together to collect registration data but there is some information that may not be shared between the two sides. For example, national statistical agencies protect the national sampling frame and cannot share the underlying cartography that would be required for UNCHR to amend the sampling frame with counts of FDPs.

The DHS and MICSs define household members as (i) usual residents or people who slept in the dwelling the previous night and who (ii) share living arrangements and (iii) share food (ICF International, 2012; UNICEF, 2013). The LSMSs define household members as (i) people who slept in the dwelling three or more months of the last 12 months and (ii) share food (Grosh and Munoz, 1996). 7 While the definitions differ, they are defined on similar concepts and are unlikely to lead to major differences in key household characteristics.

This definition is different from the DHS, MICS and LSMS, may pose challenges when one compares cases with households in surveys, and lends itself to exploitation on the part of users, for example by spreading different household members across different cases to maximize benefits. Some socio-economic surveys for FDPs do not rely on the UNHCR family definition as the unit of socio- economic analysis – in addition to the individual. Instead, they employ a household definition either from DHS, MICS or LSMS, or from the established national household survey implemented by the national statistical agency, which often is similar to the traditional definitions. When using a list-based sampling approach with UNHCR ’ s registration data, this creates the challenge of translating the family (case) definition used as a sampling unit to a traditional household definition for the interviews and the analysis. In most cases, not all members of a proGres family are members of the household, while the household usually also has members from other proGres families. Different approaches can be used to overcome this challenge. 8 7 While the DHS and MICS define households as mutually exclusive, the LSMS definition suffers from individuals potentially belonging to multiple households leading to double-counting. 8 If not explicitly mentioned, we assume that the universe of FDPs is defined as FPDs registered in proGres.

However, a misreporting of the number of household members biases the characteristics of households, often making them appear richer than they are as resources are shared by fewer reported members. Finally, mixed households consist of FDPs and non-FDPs. All household members independent of their displacement status must be equally considered in the interview, to allow accurate estimates for household- level indicators that depend on household size.

In this context, spending 90 or more minutes on an elaborate consumption module might not be a priority. Instead, detailed information on displacement and aid is crucial and something that is not properly assessed in non FDPs surveys. Fatigue from over-surveying is often cited as an anecdotal challenge in the context of FDPs, leading to survey non-response. Even though FDPs are often subject to intensive surveying by multiple agencies, survey non-response is not as high as for regular populations and the likelihood for a household to be interviewed multiple times is limited. Only censuses interview everyone in the population, they are often prohibitively expensive, and suffer from low data quality outstripping their size advantage.

FDPs are not only particularly vulnerable and need specific protection, they also often originate from a different region in the case of IDPs or country in the case of refugees. This creates several challenges in interviewing FDPs. The respondent might not speak the official language of the country or may not trust enumerators that come from different communities. This can be overcome by assigning purposefully enumerators to specific households to ensure that they speak the same language and share the same culture. However, enumerators should also have a similar cultural background as respondents. Di Maio and Fiala (2020) use a large-scale experiment in Uganda in which enumerators and respondents are randomly paired to explore for which types of questions a significant enumerator effect may exist. While the enumerator effect is minimal for many questions, it is large for specific perception questions, for which it can account for over 30 percent of the variation in responses. Such a bias can also occur for sensitive questions to FDPs including questions on their displacement trajectory, current needs as well as perception questions. Specifically, in the context of a statistical agency conducting a survey including FDPs, enumerators need to be carefully selected.

To measure household welfare, different metrics have been proposed and can generally be classified either into monetary or non-monetary metrics. Monetary metrics equate levels of well-being to a monetary indicator of utility (Samuelson, 1974), usually income, consumption or expenditure. Non-monetary metrics define normatively dimensions of deprivations, e. g., access to education and clean water, and aggregate them either by using dimension-specific thresholds or an aggregated threshold. The most commonly used approach in this class is the Multidimensional Poverty Index by UNDP and Oxford University (MPI; OPHI, 2018). While it is not uncommon to find experts with a strong preference for one measure over the other, both classes of poverty measures are in most cases complementing each other. While the monetary metric has the advantage of its theory-grounded definition without normative choices, it is complex to measure Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "14 and does not capture acute deprivations in health or education, as the OPHI MPI does. For example, a third of those experiencing multi-dimensional poverty are not captured by the monetary headcount ratio (World Bank, 2020). Hence, it is not surprising that efforts are underway to combine the advantage of both measures like the World Bank ’ s Multi-Dimensional Poverty Measure (MPM; Nguyen et al., 2021). In the case of FDPs, monetary and multi-dimensional measures of poverty are both indicated and, as it is often the case in other settings, they complement each other. In this respect, there is not much difference with other types of populations. However, the money metrics used for monetary indicators may be more challenging to estimate for FDPs than regular populations, and the composition of multi-dimensional indexes should be adapted to FDPs ’ characteristics. Moreover, especially in a context of very high deprivation, a poverty headcount might not be able to reveal the actual gravity of the situation and qualitative information should be sought to complement standard questionnaires and possibly inform the development of future questionnaires.

While this is a practice that can be developed in any context, it is particularly promising in contexts where measuring poverty is still relatively new and the specific challenges associated with this measurement are still little known, as in FDP contexts. Poverty metrics Income, consumption or expenditure can be used as monetary metrics to estimate poverty. The correct measurement and classification of income can be a real problem in low-income countries with large informal economies (Deaton and Zaidi, 2002; Mancini and Vecchi, 2022) and, especially, for FDPs. FDPs rarely have regular labor income and tend to rely on occasional, informal income, or have no labor income at all. They have various forms of in-kind and cash assistance that vary from household items such as blankets and kitchen items to food vouchers and cash assistance. The combination of these income sources is not always well captured in surveys because many of these items are provided occasionally and by multitudes of donors. Food vouchers are often traded and can function more as cash than food.

However, classic panel surveys typically rely on home addresses and they are particularly difficult to administer when populations are highly mobile. This has encouraged scholars working on FDPs to develop new instruments to track people over time. Etang and Hoogeveen (2020) developed a survey known as the “ Listening to Displaced People Survey (LDPS) ”, a survey that tracked living conditions of displaced people over time in Mali with a face-to-face baseline survey complemented by monthly follow-up mobile phone interviews for a period of 12 months. These data have been used by Hoogeveen, Rossi and Sansone (2019) to study patterns of return of the displaced and understand the factors that contribute to return. Phone interviews have also increased in popularity with the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it necessary to conduct interviews without face-to-face contact. During this period, the UNHCR and World Bank have launched bi-monthly monitoring surveys of the impact of COVID-19 on the well-being of refugees in several countries across the MENA, SSA and Latin America regions using phone interviews.

However, data privacy concerns need to be addressed if the phone survey is conducted by a firm. A possible solution is sending text messages to selected respondents asking for permission to share phone numbers with a contractor. Comparisons between FDPs and host populations are also an essential exercise to conduct in the context of FDP poverty measurement. These comparisons are important for FDPs, host countries and international organizations given that resentment against FDPs is often fueled by a perception that FDPs receive special assistance that is not available to locals. Several surveys have now been conducted in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and a few Sub-Saharan African countries to compare the well-being of FDPs and their hosts. These comparisons, while important, are complex because host populations have full access to the labor and consumer markets and government services that are often not available to FDPs, whereas FDPs rely on aid from the international community that is not available to local residents. It is difficult to compare health services in camps, for example, to those provided to the host population by the government, or other social protection services such as unemployment insurance or paid leave that do not exist for FDPs.

Large home visit exercises are conducted every year in countries such as Jordan and Lebanon and these data have been used to conduct poverty assessments of Syrian refugees (Verme et al., 2016). The WFP conducts vulnerability assessments that have been used by the WFP, UNHCR and World Bank to make gross poverty estimates using the consumption modules of these surveys, even if these modules are typically very short, with few items.

Again, all these surveys and studies are either very recent or were not used before for poverty / welfare analyses. Whereas individual and household data on refugees are now more systematically collected, data collection for IDPs remains extremely scarce when compared to refugees, mostly limited to head counting. Refugees and IDPs are very different in that they have a different legal status, which leads to different access to public services, labor markets, government, and international assistance. Surveys for IDPs are often more difficult to conduct because the host country might be linked to the cause of displacement, and a registration system like UNHCR ’ s proGres is absent, making it more challenging to obtain a representative sample. Given the large number of IDPs (58 percent of all FDPs), the real challenge will be to collect microdata on IDPs systematically in all those countries that are home to large numbers of IDPs. So far, the only country that collects data on IDPs systematically is Colombia and this country has shown that, when quality microdata are available, research on IDPs flourishes.

Also other organizations such as WFP and IOM are developing their own standards for surveying FDPs and measuring various well-being indicators. Conclusion The paper provided a first insight into the state of the literature on the measurement of poverty among FDPs. We argued that the economics profession and poverty specialists across the social sciences largely neglected these populations for a combination of factors including lack of interest and microdata. This changed with the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011 and the peak of the European migration crisis in 2015. These events have generated partnerships between development and humanitarian organizations that contributed to boost microdata collection among FDPs, poverty and welfare studies worldwide, and is also sparking a virtuous cycle of poverty measurement innovations. As FDPs require special solutions to questions such as sampling, consumption measurement, and targeting, this search is also producing innovative approaches that can serve the poverty measurement community at large. 13 Since 2022, the group is renamed the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS).

Introduction The current era is marked by the highest number of forcibly displaced people (FDP) in history. As a result of the war in Ukraine coupled with ongoing conflict and disaster in countries such as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Somalia, the Syrian Arab Republic, the República Bolivariana de Venezuela, and the Republic of Yemen, the number of people forced to flee due to fears of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, and other events seriously disturbing public order had reached more than 110 million. 2 Understanding the extent and nature of the challenges they face is crucial for developing effective policy responses to address their needs and support their successful integration into their host communities or return to their places of origin or previous residence. However, existing data gaps on FDP make it challenging to design and implement such responses. The aim of this paper lies in understanding existing gaps in microdata on FDP – refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). This paper does this by undertaking a review of all existing micro-level datasets in the UNHCR Microdata Library (MDL) 3 and World Bank (WB) 4 MDL from 53 low-income and middle- income countries with a significant presence of FDP. 5 The microdata in these databases are documented in compliance with international standards and practices.

For the purpose of this study, microdata are defined as primary data collected from household surveys. Our focus lies in identifying micro-level datasets that are publicly available and designed to have a representative sample6 of FDP so that collected data can be disaggregated for refugees and / or IDPs specifically. By studying the geographical and thematic coverage of existing FDP microdata, we seek to also shed light on critical data gaps that remain to be filled with further data collection efforts. The paper identifies critical gaps in geographical and thematic coverage as well as compliance with international recommendations for proper identification of displacement status.

A confluence of factors explains data deprivation in FCS countries. To inform discussions about policy responses towards FDP in a given country, the surveys must be representative at least for the target population of interest to policy makers. However, a reliable sampling frame is often missing in such conflict situations where population census rarely takes place, and registration data may also be obsolete, thereby complicating the implementation of sample household survey (Aguilera et al. 2020). Furthermore, collecting data in the fragile context also raises a concern for the safety of enumerators, inhibiting survey implementation in the unsafe regions (Corral et al. 2020).

These patterns hold even after accounting for the above-mentioned baseline country characteristics such as GDP per capita, conflict intensity, and number of FDP (see Figure 3 Panel B). The average marginal effects of regional dummies are all negative and significant (except for South Asia) using Sub-Saharan Africa as a benchmark. Data is particularly rich in East Africa. This skew is primarily driven by three countries that have a higher number of datasets than expected given the number of FDPs they host: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

Conclusion With an ever-growing number of people forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, fear of persecution, and human rights violations, data on FDP has become ever more important. A solid evidence base is crucial to inform effective policy responses to address their challenges and to establish such a base, 35 More than 95 percent of the FDP datasets asked questions on either the country of birth or citizenship. 36 While the country of birth does not change, nationality or citizenship can. And it is the country of citizenship or acquisition of citizenship that determines whether refugees and refugee related persons should still be regarded as refugees by the national authorities even though their country of birth may be different from that of their citizenship or nationality and how citizenship interplays with refugee status varies by country (EGRISS 2019, p. 28).

By geography, the study finds that FDP datasets are relatively rich in Sub-Saharan Africa compared to other regions given that more than half of the publicly available FDP datasets identified through this study come from Sub-Saharan Africa. By topic, FDP datasets are relatively scarcer in topics such as labor and employment, finance, agriculture / livestock / fishery, and education.

Since the international recommendations by EGRISS were established in recent years, it still remains to be seen to what extent future surveys will adapt to these recommendations. These findings come with some caveats. First, the metadata of the datasets was extracted in December 2022. This means that our data gap map may already be missing datasets that have been added since then, calling for periodic updates in the analysis of data gaps. Second, our datasets only capture publicly available microdata from the UNHCR and World Bank MDLs. While we believe these MDLs contain the most datasets pertinent to microdata on FDPs, there may be other datasets not contained in either of these databases. Finally, as with all automated processes, it is possible that some datasets are miscoded due to the fact that the underlying metadata we use for this study is sometimes incomplete. We attempt to mitigate this concern by manual verification and making corrections in the metadata itself but there still remains more work to be done to ensure that the metadata is thoroughly populated in the UNHCR and WB MDLs. Despite the limitations, this paper contributes to advancing our knowledge about existing data gaps on FDP and by developing a systematic process to identify them based on the information from the UNHCR and WB MDLs.

Two waves of Home-Visit surveys, collected by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, are analyzed to track the evolution of poverty among Syrian refugees in Jordan. To compare changes in poverty between female- and male-headed households, the paper uses rela­tive comparisons of deciles in the expenditure distribution and quantile regressions. The analysis adjusts the poverty measure for economies of scale as the cost per person of maintaining a given standard of living may fall as household size rises.

For this reason, while it is important to analyze differences in poverty risk between households with female and male heads, it is also important to understand how different routes to female headship, and the changes in the household composition more broadly, impact poverty risks and expenditure levels. This paper explores level and distributional changes in expenditure among Syrian refugee households in Jordan between 2013 and 2018 using a gender lens.

However, little is known about the changes in economic well-being over time or how gender inequality has shaped poverty and expenditure outcomes. We use two waves of data from a unique household survey, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Home-Visits survey for 2013-14 and 2017-18. First, we create comparable measures of expenditure per capita over time. Then, we assess whether certain types of households are more likely to be below the median of the per capita expenditure distribution in each time period.

However, there are important differences between male and female PA households that impacts poverty risk. As is evidenced in other countries (see for example Brown et al. ’ s study of 43 African countries (2020)), we find that Syrian refugee female PA households are smaller in size than male- PA households. Once economies of scale in consumption are considered we find female-PA households are more likely to be poor than male PA households and that this gap has widened over time. Compared to other household heads, single caregivers (the vast majority of whom are women) exhibit some of the highest risks of falling in poverty and this risk has increased over time. We also find that the distribution of expenditure changed over time and negatively affected female- headed households. The gap between male and female-headed households grew over time causing a 2 The Vulnerability Assessment Framework for 2019 is based on analysis of data collected from a random, representative sample of registered refugees in October and November 2018.

The limited availability of employment opportunities for women is strongly associated with social norms that bind women to specific roles in society (Kelberer, 2017; Felicio et al., 2018). Data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) show that in 2019 only about 13 percent of women over 15 participate in the labor market. Changing gender roles in the labor market can cause tensions and have been linked to increased rates of domestic violence in refugee households in Jordan (Hagen- Zanker et al. 2017; Culcasi 2019). The most common reason for low levels of female labor force participation is family responsibilities such as childcare and housework, reported by 44 percent of Syrian refugee women and Jordanian women of working age (Stave, Kebede, & Kattaa, 2021). This is tied to deeply engrained norms surrounding gender roles. A recent analysis of gender norms in Jordan found that women and girls hold more equitable gender role attitudes than their male counterparts and that there are no significant differences between Syrians and Jordanians (Krafft, Assaad, & Pastoor, 2021).

However, implementation is not consistent and low-income households report less access to childcare services (Weldali, 2022). Home-based businesses can also provide important access to economic opportunities for women, albeit within a limited number of sectors and the Government of Jordan ’ s 2017 amendments of the regulations governing the licensing of home-based businesses is particularly important for female entrepreneurs in both host and refugee communities (Slimane et al, 2020; Turner, 2019). 3.

Self-identification is commonly used as a means of identifying the household head in household surveys of income, consumption and expenditure surveys which are used to estimate poverty rates (see Hanmer et al, (2020)). Home visits began at the same time as the UNHCR cash assistance program was launched. The program aimed to assist vulnerable Syrian households to meet their basic needs. During the home visits, UNHCR determined whether a household met the criteria to qualify for assistance, considering economic poverty and the presence of members in the household requiring protection. Since 2013, these visits have been made to every registered Syrian refugee household in Jordan outside the camps (UNHCR, 2014).

The existing literature leans toward computing poverty estimates based on expenditure rather than income because (i) income does not capture the possibility that there are people who can live off their savings or have assets to meet their immediate needs; (ii) consumption is smoother and less variable than income, especially in agricultural economies; and (iii) income reporting appears to be more misleading, especially for those with more resources who tend to underreport income more (Carletto et al, 2021; Cutler & Katz, 1991; Deaton & Zaidi, 2002; Meyer and Sullivan, 2003, 2011, 2012). Aggregations of expenditure categories were used to compute total expenditure; however, the main challenge was constructing comparable poverty estimates across waves given a change in the number of spending categories included in the questionnaire.

This difference in expenditure categories could inflate reported expenditure in the second wave. This is because survey respondents tend to reveal more accurate information when asked item by item, than if asked for an expenditure or income aggregate. In part, this may be due to an intention to withhold information to obtain the monetary assistance, and in part, it has to do with the recall error that this type of questionnaire elicits. To aggregate expenditure, we restrict the number of categories to those in both waves which represent a sizeable portion of a household expenditure; that is, rent, utilities, food, water, and transportation. These five categories average 97. 5 percent and 77 percent of household expenditure in the first and the second waves, respectively. While spending on healthcare, education, and household items were also recorded in both waves, the amounts were not large and were excluded because health care and education expenditures may reflect a vulnerability (for example, caused by illness or disability in the case of health care), or a luxury for those who can access the service, and 8 The monthly per capita cash assistance Syrian refugees receive is roughly 60 %- 65 % of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) and is intended to cover rent, water and sanitation costs.

Final remarks Our analysis shows how using a gender lens that differentiates between types of households and considers economies of scale can enrich the understanding of poverty in situations of forced displacement. In the case of Syrian refugees, specific household structures, particularly those that result from disruptions caused by displacement, are more prone to experiencing poverty. However, while we have described how patterns of poverty have changed over time, lack of data on critical variables, most importantly the amount of social assistance received by households and labor force participation, employment and earnings data limits our analysis. While some of the changes in poverty over time experienced by male and female PA households are consistent with some of the changes in the circumstances of Syrian refugees, specifically their improved access to labor markets and better access to services, it is not possible to understand the extent to which these and potentially other factors have made a difference to their risk of poverty. Overall, our results show that the share of female PA households has increased substantially from from 26 to 38 percent of all Syrian refugee households between 2013 and 2018. There are differences between the characteristics of male and female PA households in terms of education, marital status, and family types.

III DATA III. A Data for Afghan Refugees in Tajikistan The primary dataset is a detailed census of Afghan refugees in Tajikistan carried out by the World Bank at the end of 2022, after the Taliban regained complete control of Afghanistan in 2021. The questionnaire administered to refugee families was compre- hensive; it collected detailed information on the socio-economic background, migration history, labor market outcomes and current socio-economic situation of Afghan refugee household and their members, and some measures of socio-economic integration. The approximate duration of the interviews was about two hours. The sampling frame for the census is the administrative database of Afghan refugees registered with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Tajikistan. All households recorded in the registry were interviewed, leading to a total of 1, 958 Afghan refugee households and 9, 763 indi- viduals. Figure 2 displays the dates of arrival of the refugees in the census. As shown in the figure, the vast majority of migrants arrived to Tajikistan in 2021 when the Taliban gained complete control of Afghanistan.

B Impacts of exposure to Taliban territorial control on educational attainment Table 4 reports estimates for the effects of refugees ’ exposure to Taliban, contested terri- tories, and U. S. allies on refugees ’ educational attainment. First, this reveals that the im- pact of Taliban exposure is negative across four variables we examined: literacy, formal schooling attendance, primary education completion, and secondary education comple- tion. However, it is worth noting that the estimated effects do not reach statistical signif- icance for the completion of primary education. Nevertheless, when we combine these four variables into an education index (computed as their average), we observe enhanced precision, allowing us to document the significant negative effects of Taliban exposure on the education index. These effects are both substantial and meaningful. For instance, the coefficients in column (3) and Panel A indicate that a one-unit increase in the aver- age share of exposure to Taliban presence (representing 100 % presence in the province of birth during the five years between 2017 and 2021) is associated with an 18. 5 percentage point decrease in the share of individuals with some level of education.

The first included the individual reported answer from a 1 to 5 scale, where 1 means strongly disagree, and 5 strongly agree of the following questions: (i) ” Would you feel comfortable if your child or grandchild were to socialize or be friends with children of Refugee community people? ”, (ii) ” Do you feel welcomed in this village / town / city? ”, (iii) ” Do you think that everyone living in this village / town / city feels like they are a part of this village? ”. The second, included the answer to the following question ” On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not very much to 10 very much, how much do you feel that Tajikistan is your home? ”, and the third, the total number of refugee, and Tajik friends among all of their friends, respectively.

With the answer to the question (ii), we generate an indicator variable corresponding to each level of education: Some Education [= 1] if the refugee has completed any level under the primary education level, Primary Education [= 1] if the refugee has completed basic primary education level, and Secondary Education [= 1] if the refugee has completed secondary education level. The Education index is constructed by calculating the average of the four indicator variables explained above. • Mental Health: we measured the mental health dimension by constructing an in- dicator variable, equal to 1 if the respondent answers ” More than half of the days or Nearly every day ” or 0 if the answer is ” Several Days or Not at All ”, for each of the following questions: (i) ” Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things? ” (ii) ” Over the last 2 weeks, how often have 57 Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "you felt down, depressed, or hopeless? ” (iii) ” Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you had poor appetite or overeating? ” (iv) ” Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you had thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way? ” and (v) ” Did you seek mental health assistance during the last three months?

Or, the Taliban may control several villages, mines and other resources, runs prisons in the district, or administers areas of the district.

The CMM data would be better suited to capture the recovery from the pandemic (Krafft et al., Forthcoming). The overlapping portion of the CMM data with the SYPJ data (February 2020 to February 2021) did not allow for a comparable analysis to the one we did in this paper. The overlap is not perfect. CMM data was collected a few months after the bulk of the SYPJ data only allowing for a comparison between the first half of 2021 (CMM) to the second half of 2020 rates (SYPJ). This is not a reasonable comparison especially in a period with rapidly changing events like the pandemic time. In addition, the time intervals are different as CMM data allows for examining annual change (February 2020 to February 2021) as opposed to semi-annual, and that is only one period which does not allow to compare the trend.

In doing so, we assume that each individual in the sample is observed over the period from the first half year of 2016 to the second half year of 2020. Individuals who entered the job market later than the first half of 2016 are considered non- employed until entry.

To causally identify the relationship, we use a shift-share instrumental variable strategy that exploits local exposure to exogenous national-level ex- port shocks (Jaeger et al., 2018). As informal employment and discrimination could both be related to other area characteristics, we also control for the local industrial structure, household expenditure, population size, distance from the capital and center of economic activity (Lima), and, importantly, the number of Venezuelans based in each location prior to the current immigration wave, which we show to be a significant pull factor for where Venezuelans settle. Our results show that weaker informal labor markets lead to significant increase in the dis- crimination reported by Venezuelans in Peru. Overall, a 10 % decrease in the informal em- ployment rate increases discrimination by 2. 3-3 %. This effect is twice as large for men as for women. The data we use also collects information on where discrimination occurs.

A potential explanation for this, consistent with the previous results, is that higher skilled Venezuelans are disappointed with their situation in Peru, especially when they settle in areas with strong labor markets, and this lack of opportunity is either caused by or perceived as discrimination (Guerrero-Ble et al., 2020). In the second part of our analysis, we examine the impact of immigration in terms of changes in the number of Venezuelans as a share of the local population in a province on a wide-variety of outcomes. We rely on administrative data to measure the number of Venezuelans newly registered in each district in Peru on a monthly basis between January 2015 and December 2020. We aggregate this information at the province level, which roughly corresponds to a labor market. Having a time-varying measure of the presence of Venezuelans in each of the 198 provinces allows us to use repeated cross-sectional data on outcomes for Peruvians and control for location and time fixed effects, as well as, location-specific time-trends. Hence, we identify the impact of the presence of Venezuelans by examining how outcomes for Peruvians change when more Venezuelans arrive in a province, conditional on the trend in that outcome. However, it is possible that local shocks impact both the destination choice of Venezuelans and outcomes for Peruvians, hence we also use an instrumental variable strategy where we in- strument for the number of Venezuelans in a location with the presence of Venezuelans in that 3 Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "location in the past, interacted with the year of observation.

On the other hand, we find evidence that in locations with more Venezuelans, Peruvians report that their community likes diversity less. There are a number of potential explanations for these findings that we plan to explore in future work. 1 The arrival of Venezuelans may have expanded the economic opportunities for Peruvian because of their higher levels of potential productivity, due to higher human capital, and their concentration in low wage jobs.

A deep economic and humanitarian crisis started ramping up in with the fall in oil prices and the death of former president Hugo Chavez in 2013 (Chaves-González and Echevarría Estrada, 2020). This has led to what some authors have called the great Venezuelan exodus (Hausmann et al., 2018; Rozo and Vargas, 2021). In mid-2016, large waves of migrants started to leave the country, with Colombia (1 ’ 700, 000), Peru (870, 000), Ecuador (385, 000) and Chile (371, 000) being their 1Additional data which we do not currently have access to on firms and consumer prices is needed to examine these explanations in more detail. 4 Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "many in the years following 2015 and its effects on different proxies of social cohesion such as trust, perceived fairness, and attitudes towards immigrants.

The sample covers five main urban areas in the country where Venezuelan immigrants were most likely to be present. The survey collects data on the immi- grant ’ s origin, migration date, and details on their current employment. Importantly, a full module asks about the immigrant ’ s experiences with locals, which includes questions about discrimination and hostile attitudes towards them.

Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO) is the Peruvian version of the Living Standards Measurement Survey, e. g. a nationally representative household survey collected monthly on a continuous basis. For our analysis, we use data from January 2007 to December 2020. The survey covers a wide variety of topics, including basic demographics, educational back- ground, labor market conditions, crime victimization, and a module on respondent ’ s percep- tions about the main problems in the country and trust on different local and national level institutions. Observations are also spatially identified at the municipality level, but here we focus on variation in the Venezuelan share of the population at the province level, of which there are 196, as these are best representative of local labor markets. Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) is a opinion survey conducted bi-annually in all countries in Latin America and designed to be representative of urban populations. This was fielded in Peru in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2019 and consists of about 2, 000 observations from mostly urban areas.

There are strong incentives to register as this is also a prerequisite for applying to obtain the PTP.

We also use data from the National Census 2007 and 2017. We use the 2017 Census data to measure the share of workers in the formal and informal sector in each centro poblado as well as the total local population in each centro poblado, province and region. We use the 2007 data to construct both of our instruments discussed in more detail below as well as to create additional controls for the local economic environment. More specifically, in the first part of our analysis, we use information on the industrial distribution (using detailed four-digit codes) in each centro poblado, while in the second part, we use information on the total number of Venezuelans in each province in Peru. To construct the Trade shock instrument for the first part of our analysis, we also use trade data from the reports of TradeMap. From this website, we are able to identify export and import values for Peru on a monthly basis since 2006 at the HS 6-digit product revision.

Discrimination at work seems to respond the least to local employment, with a coefficient that implies that a 10 % increase in informal employment leads discrimination to decrease by 1. 4 %, although the relationship is not statistically significant. Interestingly, there is a clear gender split on whether discrimination in streets and public spaces. A 10 % increase in informal employment causes a decrease in discrimination against men in streets and public spaces of about 3. 7 %, with no significant change in discrimination against women in these spaces. Finally, discrimination in public transit responds similar regardless of the gender, with an effect of about 2 % for reductions in employment of 10 %. 5. 2 Immigration, Local ’ s Labor Market Outcomes and Perceptions In the previous section, we established that labor market conditions have a causal effect on the way Venezuelan immigrants perceive that are treated by locals: lower unemployment in the informal labor market leads to a decrease in discrimination.

This is true even though the number of Venezuelans in Peru in 2007 was quite small. The F-stat for the excluded instrument is 2300, showing the strong relationship in the first-stage robustness of the instrument. We also typically fail to reject that our model is over-identified which is an indication that the shift-share instrument is truly picking up the impact of increasing Venezuelans being pulled to locations where Venezuelans previously settled. Our IV results tell the same qualitative story. A doubling in the share of Venezuelans in a province increases the probability of a Peruvian being employed by 0. 6 %, increases household income raise by 2. 2 % and expenditures by 1. 4 %. The effects on income and expenditure are nearly twice as large for women as for men. These positive impacts on labor market outcomes are sizeable, given the large overall increase in the Venezuelan share of the population. 9 There are a number of potential explanations for these findings that we plan to explore in future work. The arrival of Venezuelans may have expanded the economic opportunities for Peruvian because of their higher levels of potential productivity, due to higher human 9Previous studies have shown that Venezuelan immigration caused either small but significant losses in the labor market for low education women (Morales and Pierola, 2020) or null effects (Boruchowicz et al., 2021). 17 Usage context: primary mention, background mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "capital, and concentration in low wage jobs.

Venezuelans also might have expanded opportunities by increasing the demand for certain goods and services. One widespread claim mentioned in some media reports is that Venezuelan migration led to an increase in crime (Freier et al., 2021). We test whether this claim is supported by the data in Table 6, where we use administrative information on the number of non-violent and violent crimes reported in each municipality, the personal security index from Gallup, and reports on whether crime is perceived as a major problem in ENAHO. The structure of this table is the same as the previous with Panel C our preferred specification. Consistent with the idea that Venezuelan inflow lead to labor market conditions improving, we observe that locations that received a larger number of immigrants have lower number of reported non-violent crimes (columns 2).

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented global employment losses of 114 million jobs worldwide in 2020 compared to the previous year (ILO, 2021). Kenya, as well as other parts of the world, has been strongly affected as restrictions on personal mobility have severely disrupted economic activities. 2 Although losses have been alleviated through welfare support programs, hard-hit groups remain: children, youth, women, low-paid and low-skilled workers (FAO, 2020; Hill & Narayan, 2020; Chetty, Friedman, Hendren, Stepner, & Opportunity Insights Team, 2020; ILO, 2021; Josephson, Kilic, & Michler, 2020). Displaced populations are particularly vulnerable as they arrive in host destinations without initial assets or established business connections and often lack access to official documentation to establish themselves in formal markets or access formal financing. Refugees living in Kenya face working and movement restrictions which severely impact their ability to participate in the labor market and limit their livelihood opportunities (Zetter & Ruaudel, 2016).

This study uses the Kenya COVID-19 Rapid Response Phone Survey (RRPS) to investigate the socioeconomic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor market outcomes of urban national and refugee communities in Kenya. Refugees in Kenya live in densely populated refugee camps inhabiting more than 200, 000 inhabitants and in urban areas, primarily in Nairobi. Available job-market opportunities and labor market dynamics are therefore comparable to urban nationals rather than rural nationals who predominantly engage in agriculture, an economic activity refugees cannot pursue as they do not have the legal right to own land.

Third, refugees do not have the official right to work outside the camps, unless a work permit is obtained in advance for which a recommendation from a prospective employer must be accompanied by a letter from the RAS confirming refugee status leading to in practice permits being rarely issued (UNHCR & World Bank, 2020). This results in many refugees taking low- paying jobs in the informal sector that are more prone to short-term contracts and layoffs without much protection during times of crises (Betts, Sterck, & Omata, 2018). As many refugees flee their country without much preparation, they frequently lack official documents such as birth certificates, IDs or schooling certificates, which are necessary to access many Kenyan services or signal one ’ s skill level to a prospective employer.

Methodology and Data 3. 1. Data The UNHS survey is used by the GoU to monitor the well-being of the population. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has conducted the survey every three to four years since the 1990s, providing a series of comparable data stretching more than 20 years. The last UNHS survey was conducted between July 2016 and June 2017, collecting data from around 15, 000 households in all 112 existing districts of Uganda at the time. The UNHS 2016 / 17 is representative at the national, rural-urban, regional and sub-regional level, and gathers information on the socio-economic characteristics of the household (including income and consumption) and its members (including educational attainment, health status and use of services, etc.). Thus, it is possible to allocate all fiscal interventions for each household in the survey, as explained in detail in the next sections. 3. 2.

Gini Coefficient: an inequality measure While poverty measures absolute deprivation with respect to a given threshold, inequality is a relative measure of poverty indicating how little some parts of a population have relative the entire population. In the context of monetary poverty, equality can be defined as an equal distribution of consumption / income across the population. This means that each share of the population owns the same share of consumption / income. The Lorenz Curve compares graphically the cumulative share of the population with their cumulative share of consumption / income. A perfectly equal consumption / income distribution is indicated by a diagonal. The other extreme is complete inequality where one individual owns all the consumption / income. These two (theoretical) extremes define the boundaries for observed inequality. The Gini coefficient is the most commonly used measure for inequality. A Gini coefficient of 0 indicates perfect equality while 1 signifies complete inequality. In relation to the Lorenz Curve, the Gini coefficient measures the area between the Lorenz Curve and the diagonal. Source: World Bank ’ s Poverty Handbook, World Bank (2009). 4. 2.

Conclusions To make progress in promoting equality and improving the living standards of the population in Uganda, it is necessary to understand the effect of Uganda ’ s fiscal policy on inequality and poverty. This report uses the internationally comparable CEQ methodology to assess the individual and combined effects of taxes and public social spending, based on the microdata from the UNHS 2016 / 17 household survey. The main objective is to provide considerations for policy makers in terms of which fiscal instruments or, more specifically, which mix of fiscal instruments can contribute to reduce poverty and inequality. Overall, our results show that Uganda ’ s fiscal system is modestly equalizing. As a whole, taxes and transfers in 2016 / 17 reduced inequality by approximately 3. 23 Gini points. This result is comparable to Ghana, moderately lower than in Kenya and Tanzania, and much lower than the result observed for South Africa. The largest contributive factor to this equalizing effect is direct taxation (personal income tax or PAYE), followed by the education in-kind transfers (net transfers). This is not surprising, given the size of these fiscal interventions as a proportion of pre-fiscal income and their progressiveness. Direct transfers and social protection programs more generally contribute to the redistributive effect and are simulated as highly concentrated among the poorest households.

We focus on service delivery inputs rather than outcomes since service providers — governments, humanitarian organizations, and UN agencies — can directly affect access, but linking access to outcomes (such as infant mortality) is more complex, materializes with a long lag, and depends on several factors that are outside policy makers ’ control. We use ACLED data to explore possible conflict dynamics. We report two sets of findings. First, we find no evidence that a larger refugee presence increases support for restrictive migration policies (though in some years it is associated with a somewhat heightened sense of personal insecurity).

Earlier studies highlighted possible tensions with local citizens that are exacerbated by resource competition or ethnic rivalry (Salehyan and Gleditsch, 2006; Rüegger, 2017). Much of this scholarship recognizes that refugees are often victims of conflict (Onoma, 2013; Fisk, 2018; Böhmelt, Bove and Gleditsch, 2019; Savun and Gineste, 2019). Recent research suggests that conflict between host communities and refugees may be avoided if refugees ’ presence attracts aid and economic activity that benefits both (Lehmann and Masterson, 2020). We complement this literature on the refugee – conflict nexus, which thus far has relied on cross-country analysis, by exploiting — following Zhou and Shaver (2021) — within-country variation in exposure to refugee settlements. The third strand explores the welfare consequences of refugees ’ presence on host communities in developing countries. However, without auxiliary data (such as survey data on policy preferences regarding refugee policies), these studies cannot tell us how the economic consequences of refugee hosting affect social cohesion (if at all). Moreover, almost all studies in this research domain strand of the literature concentrate on a single domain, such as labor market outcomes (Fallah, Krafft and 5See also Zhou (2018), which examines how the presence of refugees can change local citizens ’ opposition to citizenship inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa. 6 Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The consistency of the findings across these domains increases our confidence in the direction of the effect of refugee presence.

Third, we use a continuous measure of refugees ’ presence that integrates information on both refugee settlements ’ distance from the host community and population size, and allows localities to be affected by more than one settlement. Building on this prior research, we test whether government and humanitarian aid agencies resource allocation decisions ensure that nearby communities do not carry a disproportionate burden of hosting refugees. We first explore whether localities that are geographically proximate to larger refugee settlements (i. e., those that have greater exposure to refugees) have better access to public goods and development outcomes because they benefit from the increased aid and resources flowing into these settlements. If this is the case, we contend, a backlash against refugees and refugee policies in host communities is much less likely. 3 Context As several of its neighbors — including South Sudan, Burundi, and the DRC — have experienced war and displacement, Uganda hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world (see Figure 1).

Two major regulatory frameworks guide the settlement of refugees in Uganda — the 2006 Na- tional Refugee Act and the 2010 Refugee Regulations introduced to operationalize it. This legal framework provides refugees with the right to documentation (e. g., identity cards, birth certifi- cates, death certificates, etc.), the same rights as Ugandan nationals to access social services such as health, water and sanitation and education, the right to land for agricultural use and shelter, the right to start a business or seek employment, freedom of movement, the right to receive fair justice, the principle of family unity, the right to transfer assets within and outside the country, the right of association regarding non-political and non-pro��t associations and trade unions, and 9 Usage context: primary mention, supporting mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "thereby also benefiting local host communities.

The authors attribute this finding not to an increase in demand for local produce, but to greater participation by host households in paid employment in aid agencies, and to the resulting increase in wage incomes. However, the effects they observe are small, and concentrated in areas very near refugee settlements. 11 Most relevant to our study, Kreibaum (2016) reports that access to private primary schools (but not public schools or health services) has increased at a greater rate as a function of refugee presence. They measure refugee presence at the district level (refugee share of the district popu- lation) and focus on the south-western districts between 2002 and 2010.

These findings are in line with our predictions for Uganda. As in Global North contexts, we recognize that out-group members can elicit fears and insecurity. It is unclear from the ACLED dataset, however, whether these violent events involve refugees. It is also possible that ACLED underreports violent incidences that are not reported by the media. Recent scholarship on the relationship between refugees and violent conflict finds that hosting generally has null effects on conflict (Zhou and Shaver, 2021); when conflicts do occur, refugees tend to be the victims (Savun and Gineste, 2019).

Improving basic services is of the utmost importance to host communities in developing contexts regardless of who is providing them (Sacks, 2012). All the results reported here use our main specification of the Nearest + 20km exposure measure (which takes into account not only the nearest settlements, but also all settlements within 20km) and the subset of parishes that are within 150km of a settlement. In SI Section S4, we present the regression tables for all of the results shown in Figures 5 and 6, along with their robustness specifications. These tables display the effects across all three measures of exposure (Nearest, Nearest + 20km, Nearest + 50km) and across the various radius cutoffs for parishes (within 100km, 150km, 200km, and all parishes). These results demonstrate that our main results are robust across specifications. In additional robustness checks, we also conduct formal sensitivity analyses and address concerns about multiple hypothesis testing by adjusting for the false discovery rate and showing Benjamini-Hochberg-adjusted p-values in SI Sections S5 and S6. An alternative explanation is that our results are driven by a change in the composition of host citizens. It is possible that the positive effects we observe are due to the internal migration of Ugandans: those who move to refugee settlement areas may be positively disposed toward refugees, while those who leave are more likely to be anti-migrants.

Using a DiD research design and a newly constructed geocoded panel dataset of core service provision — the locations of health centers and schools as well as the quality of roads — we find that host communities near refugee settlements in Uganda experience positive externalities. Our findings with respect to service provision are consistent across three key domains and are robust to alternative measures of proximity, and to different samples based on distance to settlements, which increases the confidence in our results. Using individual-level surveys, we find little evidence that proximity to refugees causes a back- lash within host communities against them or related policies. These results are consistent with findings from other contexts such as Jordan (Ferguson et al., 2021) and the DRC (Pham et al., 2021). While we cannot directly assess this argument, we maintain that positive spillovers in the form of service delivery improvements likely help reduce tensions between refugees and host com- munities, and thereby contribute to social cohesion.

The effect of armed conflict on IPV may be context specific. Therefore, evidence using quasi experimental methods where the data makes it possible to isolate the effect of armed conflict on IPV outcomes is important to strengthen the emerging empirical literature, and can inform evidence-based long and short-term policies to prioritize assistance in conflict affected settings. Since 2012, Mali has been faced with a complex political, security, and humanitarian crisis which began when groups of armed Tuaregs — a semi-nomadic ethnic minority in northern Mali — joined forces with extremist groups to declare the establishment of the independent state of “ Azawad. ” As the conflict progressed, jihadist groups took control of the rebellion and, after a successful coup d ’ état by national soldiers, international armed forces from France, neighboring countries, and the United Nations intervened.

The 2018 Mali DHS provides data for the period during protracted conflict in Mali (referred to as “ wartime ” hereafter).

Discussion and Conclusion This study exploits variation in timing and location of conflict events during the ongoing civil war in Mali to identify the impact of conflict on women ’ s experience of IPV and decision-making autonomy. Two DHS surveys- one conducted before the conflict and one conducted during the ongoing violence- were spatially linked to conflict data. The difference-in-difference approach allows for matching of women in the two areas to isolate conflict as a driver of increased violence using a rigorous quasi-experimental research design. This approach represents one of the first quantitative, population-based assessments of how the ongoing instability may affect Malian women in key domains of violence and personal decision-making autonomy. These findings highlight the fact that women living in conflict-affected areas experienced notable and significant increases in all forms of IPV, and combined measures of IPV. In the non-conflict- affected areas, women faced lower levels of physical IPV and no change in the combined measure of physical and sexual IPV. Women in non-conflict affected areas in Mali still experienced increased emotional and sexual IPV.

It allows us to follow refugees over the life-cycle for 20 years, and allows us to follow them even after they change residence permit and status. To construct this longitudinal dataset we are combining three administrative datasets. The first dataset, that covers all asylum seekers is AUPER (Automatisierte Personen Registratursystem) which is provided by the State Secretariat for Migration. The data includes information about the residence permit, year of arrival, country of origin, canton of allocation and socio-demographic characteristics. Once an asylum seeker has obtained a residence permit other than permit N (asylum seekers) or F (provisionally admitted foreigners), he or she is registered in ZAR (Zentrales Ausländerregister).

We define as refugees, all foreign-born individuals that went through an asylum process, and as migrants all other foreign-born individuals. Natives are defined as individuals born in Switzerland. In the final sample, we are drawing a random sample of 6 % of the native population. For the main outcome variables used in the descriptive analysis, we are first adding Swiss social security data provided by the Federal Compensation Office. This data collects information about every Swiss resident that contributed to old age provision (i. e., the old-age and survivor ’ s insurance OASI or AVS in French). We know the size and nature of the contribution made by individuals (from paid work, independent work, voluntary contribution or other kinds). This data is available from 1998-2018. Our main outcome variables measuring economic integration include employment, earnings and self- employment, and are constructed from the social security data. An individual is defined as employed if he or she contributed to old age provision from salaried or independent work.

A first challenge is that each vote concerns a different project. Therefore, it is difficult to carry out comparisons between votes over time. We solve this problem by standardizing each vote outcome: what matters for our indicator is each canton ’ s relative position at each moment in time. An important implication of this standardization is that our indicator cannot measure the change over time in average attitudes (at the country level). This is, however, not a problem for our empirical analysis, since we use year fixed effects in all our regressions. 20 We use the voting data to create our yearly indicator in the following way. When there is more than one vote within a year, we take the average of these vote outcomes. Then we use a simple method to fill in the missing values: for each missing value, we take the simple average of the two observations that are closest in time. 21 Figure 4 shows the resulting data for all 26 cantons over the period 1998 – 2018.

To ensure the quality of the responses during phone interviews, the overall survey and some specific modules were shortened, and key modules (including labor and health ones) were administered only to the household head and partner. Absent a partner, these modules were administered to another adult member randomly selected from the household roster. The questionnaire had five main modules.

C Outcomes The analysis of PEP ’ s impact focuses on three groups of outcomes: the socioeconomic well- being of forced migrants (herein “ migrants ”), their access to rights and services, and their labor market outcomes. The first dimension, well-being, is the focus of this article, while the latter two delve into potential mechanisms. Each dimension includes the individual outcomes described below and an index estimated following Kling et al. (2007) to summarize each dimension. Specifically, the three dimensions of outcomes are: (i) socioeconomic well-being encom- passes consumption, income, and employment; (ii) access to rights and services captures effective access to PEP ’ s direct benefits and services that are not available to migrants with- out it; 10 and (iii) labor market outcomes include holding a formal job, hours worked, reser- vation wage, job satisfaction (measured as the inverse of the desire to find a different job), and self-employment. We defined these outcomes and dimensions of interest following a preanalysis plan reg- istered before data collection (see Ib ´ a ˜ nez et al. 2020).

The preanalysis plan also included a set of outcomes that captured integration, social preferences, and resilience to the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis on the impacts of the PEP program on integration and social preferences are not reported as we do not identify changes in any of these outcomes.

The data in the table is stratified between RAMV and non-RAMV migrants to describe the differ- ences in well-being, access to rights and services, and labor market outcomes between these two groups, the latter being ineligible for PEP. This table indicates that RAMV migrants were better off at the time of data collection across several dimensions of interest, with statistically significant and meaningful differences in all summary indices and in 11 out of 12 individual outcomes. First, RAMV migrants had higher levels of socioeconomic well-being — including higher income and consumption — and a higher likelihood of being employed. Second, RAMV migrants also had more access to rights and services, with large differences across all outcomes. While this points to the ef- fectiveness of PEP, access to rights and services is far from complete. For instance, at the time of the survey, 50 percent of RAMV migrants did not have access to Sisb ´ en, 77 percent did not have access to subsidized healthcare, and 76 percent had been unable to access the financial system.

To summarize, Table 2 highlights meaningful and statistically significant differences of 0. 57 sd in the socioeconomic well-being index; 3. 45 sd in the access to rights and services index; and 1. 20 sd in the labor market outcomes index.

Moreover, results from the qualitative survey suggest that the arrival date was extremely salient for migrants, marking as it did the end of one life and the start of another. Finally, these discrepancies are also not due to misinformation or misreporting by migrants without PEP since we requested proof of PEP registration for anyone who reported applying for PEP. For completeness, our main results include the full sample depicted in Figure 3. Robustness tests show the results are remarkably robust (both in magnitude and statistical significance) when the observations of these “ defiers ” are dropped (see Figure F. 1 and Tables F. 1 – F. 3).

All the above effects are substantial considering that access across all outcomes is close to zero for ineligible migrants (as reported in the second-to-last row of Table 5) and that these are short-run effects that emerged less than two years after PEP ’ s introduction. This means the Colombian government was able to expand social protection services in a short period of time to serve Venezuelan migrants, although this occurred with some limitations from both the supply and demand sides as discussed during the descriptive analysis.

V. C. 1 Are the results driven by higher formalization rates? The following analysis provides descriptive evidence to discern whether job formalization is associated with more positive labor market outcomes and if it can explain PEP ’ s positive effect on migrants ’ socioeconomic well-being. Table J. 1 reports mean differences in outcomes between RAMV migrants with PEP who have formal and informal jobs. Overall, migrants with formal jobs have higher socioeco- nomic well-being (measured by the summary index), consumption per capita, and income, as observed in Panel A. Likewise, the data in Panel B indicates lower access to subsidized healthcare and to government transfers, which is consistent with job formalization and less socioeconomic vulnerability. Finally, the data in Panel C highlights that migrants with for- mal jobs have jobs of better quality (as summarized by the index), are more satisfied with their jobs, and are less likely to be self-employed. These results are suggestive of the way in which PEP improved migrants ’ well-being and so- cioeconomic prospects by enabling access to formal and quality jobs.

Many Venezuelans sought refuge in neighboring countries. It is estimated that 1. 5 million Venezuelans had settled in Colombia by the end of 2019, and over 2 million elsewhere in Latin America. Naturally, Venezuelan migrants have sought employment in the host countries but, because of their recent arrival and their transient status, our knowledge of their working conditions is scant. Our paper aims to fill this gap focusing on Ecuador, where almost 400, 000 Venezuelans have settled and many more have transited through the country on the way to other destinations. More specifically, we provide the first analysis of the labor-market conditions of Venezuelan migrants in Ecuador, based on a new nationally representative survey of this population that also includes information on the Ecuadorans living in the same localities. The survey (known by its Spanish acronym EPEC) was promoted by the World Bank and the government of Ecuador and implemented during the summer of 2019.

More recently, researchers have shifted the focus to other dimensions of the effects of Syrian refugee inflows into Turkey. Altindag et al.

Akgunduz and Torun (2020) examine other channels by which Turkish workers and firms accommodated the inflows of Syrian refugees. The authors find that skilled native workers increased their specialization in complex tasks, moving away from manual tasks, and domestic companies took advantage of the increased abundance of labor by reducing capital intensity.

To implement the survey, the cantons were subdivided into sectors classified according to the density of Venezuelans estimated using mobile phone data (described in detail in Olivieri et al. (2020)). About 190 sectors were randomly selected and, within those, households were also selected for the interview at random.

This com- parison also allows us to examine whether the outcomes of highly educated Venezuelans are relatively better or worse than the outcomes for the less educated ones. 13 Table 4 reports this information. As before, we restrict the sample to the working- age population (age 15-70). The first column summarizes the values for Ecuadoran natives, column 2 reports the data for the Venezuelan migrants, and column 3 presents the ratio of the value in column 2 relative to column 1. Several points are worth noting. As noted earlier, Venezuelan workers are much less likely to have low education levels (26 percentage points) and much more likely to have a college degree (25 percentage points) than the average native. In terms of employment rates, we observe that among 13 We have not succeeded in obtaining a systematic comparison of the quality of education in Venezuela and Ecuador. The best assessment is based on an analysis by Juan Maragall (Inter-American Development Bank) based on a 2009 PISA study conducted in the state of Miranda in Venezuela. The data show that students in Venezuela have lower reading and math levels than the average for Latin America. More specifically, the gap is estimated to be 13 percentage points for public schools and 6 percentage points for private schools. Given that Ecuador ’ s scores are in line with the average for Latin America, these data suggest that the quality of the Venezuelan education system is somewhat below the Ecuadoran counterpart. However, we also note that many Venezuelan migrants were schooled prior to the recent deterioration of educational institutions in Venezuela and that migrants are typically pos- itively selected in regards to their origin populations. As a result, it seems reasonable to assume that the educational credentials of Venezuelans are comparable to those of Ecuadoran workers. 8 Usage context: background mention, primary mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "As a result, migration may entail negative effects on the productivity and wages of migrants, often reflected in terms of occupa- tional downgrading (Jasso et al.

On the other hand, international migration typically entails moving from low to high productivity countries, which can lead to increases in wages and productivity (Clemens (2011)). Migration driven by natural or man-made disasters, such as the Venezuelan exodus, is much more likely to be of the South-South type and, as a result, this type of productivity gain may be less relevant.

This has important consequences for Venezuelan workers. As shown in Section 4. 3, lack of legal status is associated with a higher likelihood of informal employment (column 5 in Table 7). Inspired by Clemens et al. (2018), the goal of this section is to use the estimates of these effects to simulate the consequences of providing legal work permits to Venezuelans on the quality of their employment (measured by informality) and, through this channel, on their productivity (measured by wages).

As a result, their productivity and wage levels are well below those of Ecuadorans in the same region of residence and with the same education level. This is a waste of productive skills that lowers GDP and shifts the burden of the labor-market adjustment toward low-skill natives (as documented in Olivieri et al. (2020)). A natural policy to consider is to facilitate the access of highly educated Venezuelans to skilled jobs. The main goal of this section is to conduct a simulation of the potential effects of such a policy. As a first step, we begin by analyzing some relevant informa- tion in the EPEC survey. In practical terms, a barrier that may be preventing skilled Venezuelan workers from applying to skilled jobs may be the lack of transferability of education credentials or even the lack of credentials altogether.

In this perspective, the number of refugees a country is to host is simply a function of its geography. This paper examines empirically the proposition that the hosting of refugees falls disproportionately on neighboring countries, which in most cases are in the developing world. To do so, we use data on worldwide bilateral refugee stocks compiled by UNHCR to examine the spatial distribution of refugees and its evolution over time. Our period of analysis is 1987-2017. Our main findings can be summarized as follows. While refugees still remain over- whelmingly in a country neighboring their country of origin, the past decades have seen a trend towards greater geographic diffusion. We begin by showing that the global pop- ulation of refugees has been increasingly dispersed across host countries, as captured by a falling Herfindahl index of host-country shares.

A. 2.). The UNHCR Population Statistics Reference database contains data for the period 1951 – 2017 (released on June 19, 2019).

Note that we cannot answer this question definitively without individual-level panel data. In our data, we do not observe the country from which a refugee entered their current host country, and thus cannot tell whether a given refugee in a given host country came from their homeland, or from yet another host country. Nonetheless, we perform the following exercise. We are working with a set of refugee events defined in Section 2. An event is combination of a source country, a year of onset, and an end year. Thus, we can compute the evolution of all of our outcome variables – distance, contiguous share, Herfindahl, and share in high-income OECD – for each specific event and each year following its onset. We then plot these outcome variables in event time, with year 0 indicating the initial year of the event, up to year 10 of the event.

In some instances, stocks fall over time. Since we do not have confidence that a reduction in stocks represents a return to the home country – as opposed to transition to another host country – we set flows to zero whenever the difference in stocks is negative. As evidenced in the figure, the point estimates of the time effects and their statistical significance are quite similar for flows to the baseline. Fourth, it may be that the destination-specific conditions (such as the global finan- cial crisis) also affect the distance traveled by refugees, or the probability of not going to a contiguous country.

We then construct a destination-adjusted refugee stock by subtracting the destination-time effect from the actual stock: AdjustedRefugeessdt = Refugeessdt − δdt. Then, we compute the average distance traveled, share of refugees going to a contiguous country, the Herfindahl index of destinations, and share in wealthy OECD countries using this adjusted refugee data set instead of the actual data. Appendix Figure A5 re- ports the results. Netting out destination-time effects prior to carrying out the analysis leaves the main results virtually unchanged. 4 Conclusion Our analysis suggests that the assumption underpinning the debate on responsibility- sharing may need to be partly revisited. Countries neighboring a conflict do host a majority of refugees and are hence bearing a disproportionate portion of the respon- sibility for providing asylum to those who are fleeing from violence and oppression. Yet, the share of refugees who move to further-away destinations, including OECD countries, has been growing over time. In other words, responsibilities are increasingly shared across countries.

While Jordan hosts Syrian refugees in two refugee camps, Zaatari and Al Azraq, most refugees live outside camps in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas of the country. How has the decision to live out-of-camp improved their QOL? Does living out- of-camp reduce deprivations and vulnerability of female-headed refugee households? Moreover, does living in either of the two camps affect the refugees'QOL? This paper investigates these issues. Data are analyzed using the difference-in-difference and propensity score matching methods. Combining these methods helps control selection bias and other unobserved variables that could bias estimates of causal effects. Multidimensional indicators are used to measure QOL to capture deprivations that cannot be measured by income indicators alone.

The results show that living in a camp reduces QOL for refugees. On average, refugees in camps are 36 percent more likely to live below the national abject poverty line, meaning that they find it difficult to meet daily basic needs. They are 37 percent more likely to live in overcrowded shelters. They own fewer household assets than refugees living outside camps (- 2. 85 assets) and are less satisfied with water, electricity, and sewerage access. They also report lower life satisfaction by 0. 76 step in a 10-step Cantril Ladder measurement of life satisfaction. The QOL indicators differ by gender. Female-headed refugee households living in camps were more deprived of material living conditions and subjective quality of life than male-headed households. However, moving out-of-camps tends to benefit them more in terms of poverty reduction.

Syrian Refugees in Jordan The war in the Syrian Arab Republic has turned into a decade-long crisis, and refugees from Syria form the largest share of international displaced persons. About 5. 5 million Syrians are registered as refugees in Turkey (65 %), Lebanon (16 %), Jordan (12 %), Iraq (4 %), and other countries (3 %). Many Syrian refugees settle in urban and peri-urban regions in these host countries (World Bank 2020). The number of refugees living in camps has declined since 2017. Many refugees seem to prefer living outside the crowded camps and to escape the precarious living conditions and enjoy the freedom to live with relatives and friends and to find work.

Diener & Suh (1997) elaborate on the limitations of the income-only QOL approach, include the failure of increased income to guarantee happiness or to reduce several deprivations experienced by the poor. These criticisms paved the way for broader multidimensional QOL assessments (Alkire & Foster, 2011a; Nussbaum & Sen, 1993). Multidimensional QOL assessment is critical in a situation of forced displacement. Refugees may be economically engaged yet have low life satisfaction due to exploitation or multidimensional deprivations in nutrition, health, education, employment, and shelter (Becchetti & Rossetti, 2009; Sand & Gruber, 2018). These deprivations disproportionally affect refugees ’ QOL compared to the host population. The level at which these issues affect refugees living in camps may also differ from how they affect refugees living out of camps. Another issue is that the income indicator alone may not provide reliable information about refugee welfare. For example, refugees may not be truthful about their earnings if they conceive that the purpose of the survey is to plan for refugee assistance or resettlement. Therefore, for policy consideration and proper targeting, the multidimensional QOL indicator is appropriate in understanding refugees'deprivations, whether they live in or out of camps.

As such, different research groups have adopted different sets of indicators. For instance, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) adopted a measure of 10 indicators categorized under the three dimensions of poverty: health, education, and living standards (Alkire et al., 2020). Stiglitz, Sen, & Fitoussi (2009) also provided nine QOL dimensions including material living condition; productive or other main activity; health; education; leisure and social interactions; economic security and physical safety; governance and basic rights; natural and living environments; and overall experience of life.

Data and Identification Methodology 4. 1. The survey The World Bank Development Economics Data group conducted the Syrian Refugees and Host Communities Survey (SRHCS) in 2015 by surveying registered and unregistered refugees (Krishnan, Munoz, Riva, Sharma, & Vishwanath, 2019).

The Jordanian survey is designed from the adjusted sample frame of the 2005 Jordanian population. The SRHCS assesses the socio- 3 Note that 3 dimensions — productive or other main activity, health, and education — were the subjects of the work of Ginn (2020).

The survey also has some retrospective information on pre-crisis characteristics, such as the household head's economic status in Syria, household earnings in 2010 before the crisis, household assets in Syria, and the number of years the household has been living in Jordan. The estimations in this paper use this information as control variables. 4. 2. Identification strategy Using an immigration survey to evaluate causal impacts often faces identification threat (Borjas, 2018).

Unique to Colombia and Liberia, however, is the fact that the DHS collected data on internal displacement in addition to information about exposure to IPV. The 2007 data from Liberia was collected four years post- conflict and can provide insight into the long-term impact of displacement on women. Similarly, 2010 data from Colombia gives insight into displacement and IPV during the ongoing Colombian conflict. The availability of this data for two conflict-affected countries allows for a unique comparative analysis. The analysis of experiences of IPV after conflict exposes the long- term impacts conflict has on the lives of women and calls us to include these experiences in our development programming to support peace and state building.

Below, we examine the literature on the drivers of IPV in conflict and displacement settings, followed by a detailed examination of the drivers of IPV within each country context.

(2019) found that men who had been excluded from employment or politics due to displacement in Colombia were more likely to perpetrate IPV as a negative coping mechanism for stress and a way to and reassert their masculinity.

While the literature on drivers of IPV in Colombia is larger, the research available in these two contexts has largely been qualitative and relies on relatively limited sample sizes, with few population-based studies on GBV available. Collecting systematic quantitative data on displaced populations can be challenging, particularly in countries currently or recently affected by conflict. In particular, few studies have undertaken multi-country comparisons. A notable exception is Otsby ’ s (2016) paper examining the link between sexual IPV and conflict experiences in 17 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa between 2006 and 2011. Otsby finds that conflict exposure heightens the risk of sexual intimate partner violence across the conflict-affected countries examined in the analysis.

These unique data sets provide insight into how both types of adversity- conflict and displacement- may impact a woman ’ s risk of IPV.

This understanding will help direct scarce funding appropriately to create more effective and targeted programs. Colombia Background Colombia has endured civil war, violent conflict, and displacement for over 60 years. Levels and intensity of violence have fluctuated throughout this period between a multitude of groups, including guerrilla groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National Liberation Army (ELN) and the Popular Liberation Army (EPL), the government, and paramilitary forces (Palacios, 2006).

The surveys examine fertility, family planning, maternal and child health, gender dynamics, HIV / AIDS, malaria, and nutrition. A core standard questionnaire is administered in all countries, with some variation to ensure that questions are culturally appropriate and relevant. This project uses DHS data from 2010 in Colombia and 2007 in Liberia. These surveys were chosen because they represent data collection that has occurred after or during a period of active conflict, and have Geographic Information System (GIS) information about the cluster where the women were sampled. 2 The DHS surveys use a two-stage cluster sampling design that first randomly selects clusters and then randomly selects households within the cluster. Only one woman per household is eligible to take the domestic violence module for privacy concerns. The DHS Women ’ s Questionnaire collects data on women aged 15 to 49 years. Data on interpersonal and partner violence is collected as part of the DHS Domestic Violence (DV) Module, now applied in conjunction with the Women ’ s Individual Questionnaire. 3 Dependent Variables This study examines three outcomes: lifetime IPV, past-year IPV and injury resulting from IPV, each is described below.

The CTS provides comparable estimates of violence across different settings (Hindin, 2008). Ever-partnered women were asked about a list of eight specific behaviors they may have experienced that would classify as physical or sexual violence. Women answering “ yes ” to any of the items from a to g were classified as having experienced partner physical violence ever by 2 In the DHS data, Global Positioning System (GPS) data for clusters are randomly offset in order to safeguard respondent privacy and confidentiality (Burgert et al., 2013).

When the interviewer arrives at the first question of the domestic violence module, he or she establishes whether the woman has been pre-selected; if so, the module is administered. Only one woman per household is eligible to take the domestic violence module in order to ensure that others in the house do not know what types of questions were asked.

Women who reported “ yes ” to any of the 3 categories were classified as having injury from IPV. Independent Conflict-Intensity Data: District-Level Data Within countries experiencing conflict, there is notable heterogeneity among districts that experience violence. This conflict-affectedness information at the district level can be combined with DHS data at the individual level to examine the links between interpersonal violence and conflict. Women ’ s experiences are nested in districts, which are classified according to whether or not the district has experienced conflict-related events. The multi-level modeling approach described below accounts for the natural clustering of women into these administrative units and acknowledges the hierarchical structure of the data (Kreft and Leeuw, 1998). The district-level covariate acts as a proxy for other important cluster-level characteristics that are not measured. Counting the number of fatalities in administrative units has been used successfully in similar efforts in the past, including in Peru (Gallegos and Gutierrez, 2011) and Liberia (Kelly et al, 2017; Kelly et al, 2018). Independent data sets exist to measure conflict-fatalities in both Colombia and Liberia. For Liberia, Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) data provides a measure of the extent to which a community has been affected by conflict at the sub-national district level.

The Uppsala Conflict Data Program, Conflict Encyclopedia Database (UCDP) provides similar information that spans the time period of interest. In contrast, UCDP data is not available for Liberia- so each country draws on similar but distinct data set to incorporate independent information about conflict intensity. The study data set contains one observation for every woman in the DHS individual recode, i. e., the woman level data and variables showing the annual number of ACLED or UCDP events and fatalities beginning in the year the woman was interviewed up to 10 years preceding the survey. Providing conflict for the 10 years preceding the DHS survey is key to the methodology and helps establish temporality in how conflict may affect IPV outcomes. A 10-year period was chosen because this captured hostilities from both Liberian civil conflicts and allowed the data set to reflect the long-standing impact of the conflict in each country. Each conflict data set used is described below.

The total number of conflict related deaths reported in Colombia since 1946 equals 27, 743 as of January 2021. This includes deaths from state-based actors, non-state actors and one-sided violence. None of the 32 departments of Colombia has been spared from conflict related deaths, however the number of deaths varies across Colombia ’ s different regions. Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)- Liberia ACLED data provide the dates and locations of all political events related to conflict and unrest in over 50 countries. ACLED data provide information on the implicated actors of political events that may occur in the course of civil and communal conflicts, violence against civilians, rioting and protesting. Armed actors may include governments, rebels, militia, organized political groups, ethnic groups, and civilians. ACLED geocodes event data at the first and second administrative boundary levels and provides latitude and longitude coordinates for each event. The database draws on three different types of sources in order to achieve comprehensive reporting: local, regional, national and continental media are reviewed daily; NGO reports are used to ensure reporting occurs in remote or hard-to-access locations; and Africa-focused news reports and analyses are used to supplement previous sources. ACLED states that this methodology achieves the most comprehensive source material currently available for digital conflict event coding (Raleigh et al., 2010). For this project, the ACLED Version 5 database was used to determine the numbers of fatal conflict events.

Answers included: stayed with relatives or friends inside Liberia; went to a camp; living in the bush; went outside Liberia. However, respondents could choose multiple of these options. For this reason, the first question was chosen as the most simple and accurate measure of displacement.

A second contribution of this paper is to show the importance of decomposing the effects with respect to distance from the mines. Given the spatial heterogeneity of the results, we explore the effects in an individual-level, difference-in-differences analysis by using spatial lag models to allow for nonlinear effects with distance from mine. We also allow for spillovers across districts, in a district-level analysis. We use two complementary geocoded household data sets to analyze outcomes in Ghana: the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and the Ghana Living Standard Survey (GLSS), which provide information on a wide range of welfare outcomes.

Mining is also associated with more economic activity measured by nightlights (Benshaul-Tolonen, 2019; Mamo et al, 2019).

Continuing this analysis, Benshaul- Tolonen (2018) explores the links between mining and female empowerment in eight gold- producing countries in East and West Africa, including Ghana. Women in gold mining communities have more diversified labor markets opportunities, better access to health care, and are less likely to accept domestic violence.

Lower productivity in agriculture could potentially push households to engage in mining-related sectors, in addition to pull factors such as higher wage earnings in the stimulated sectors. We explore the effects of mining activity on employment, earnings, expenditure, and children ’ s health outcomes in local communities and in districts with gold mining. We combine the DHS and GLSS with production data for 17 large-scale gold mines in Ghana. We find that a new large-scale gold mine changes economic outcomes, such as access to employment and cash earnings. In addition, it raises local wages and expenditure on housing and energy.

To avoid endogeneity concerns, we use the baseline number of districts that existed at the start of our analysis period, which are 137. Eleven of these districts have industrial mining. Because some mines are close to district boundaries, we additionally test whether there is an effect in neighboring districts. 3. 1 Resource data The Raw Materials Data are from InterraRMG (2013).

Including district fixed effects, we control for various institutional and cultural factors at the district level that are stable over time. Including district fixed effects also ensures that we are not only capturing effects from transfers or the fiscal system as we compare individuals within the same districts. With this method we capture the geographic spillover effects in the vicinity of the mine. Moreover, cluster fixed effects are not possible because of clusters are not repeatedly sampled over time. However, since the estimation is at individual level, all standard errors are clustered at the DHS cluster level. The sample is restricted to individuals living within 100 km of a deposit location (mine), so many parts of Northern Ghana where there are few gold mines are not included in the analysis. The sample restriction is created by using the time-stable continuous distance measure that we calculate from each mine location to each DHS cluster.

Note that we only consider deposits that have been in production at some point until December 2012. All households are thus within 100 km of one, or several, gold deposits. To ascertain whether there is any gold production in these potential mining sites, we construct an indicator variable active, which takes a value of 1 if there is at least one mine within 100 km that was extracting gold in the year the household was surveyed, and 0 otherwise. While the mine dummy captures some of the special characteristics of mining areas (for example, whether mines tend to open in less urban areas), the active dummy captures long-range spillovers of mining. The treatment effect that we are mostly interested in is captured with the active * mine coefficient. The coefficient for β3 tells us what the effect of being close to an actively producing mine is. Since the inclusion of the three dummies (active, mine, and active * mine) captures the difference between close and far, and before and after mine opening, we have created a difference-in-differences estimator.

Not much is known about poverty trends since Jordan ’ s Department of Statistics (DOS) last conducted its Household Expenditure and Income Survey (HEIS) in 2010. In the meantime, this country ’ s economy has experienced several major events such as the introduction of new poverty-reduction policies by the government (e. g., in accordance with its recent Poverty Reduction Strategy), economic reforms (e. g., reducing its petroleum subsidies and implementing a targeted cash transfer), and shocks due to higher energy prices. Socio-political change and unrest in neighboring Syria and Egypt also add further uncertainty to the economy. Given this fast evolving context, policy makers are keenly interested in tracking poverty trends on a more frequent and timely basis. In contrast with the HEIS survey which was last conducted in 2010, DOS administers the Employment-Unemployment Survey, a labor force survey (LFS) with wide geographical coverage, on a quarterly basis.

This method ’ s greatest strength is perhaps that it is straightforward to implement in most contexts where information on household assets is available; however, the non-monetary nature of asset indices renders poverty estimates more difficult to interpret.

The period between 2002 and 2007 sees rapid growth, which, however, slows down in the subsequent period between 2008 and 2010. Real GDP per capita grew by 3 percent and poverty was estimated to fall by about 5 percentage points in this latter period.

Twelve governorates are divided into 24 rural and urban strata and the six major cities across the country with more than 100, 000 people are strata on their own, which together form 30 strata in total.

Grasping the demographic imbalance in numbers, Fig. 1 depicts sex ratios for five-year age groups calculated from the (pre-genocide) 1991 Census and the (post-genocide) 2002 Census for Rwanda. The graph allows comparing the relative distribution of men and women across age at the two points in time.

The data in each survey is representative of households at the national and in 1992 and 2005 at the provincial level, based on a stratified survey design. In the 2005 RDHS, each of Rwanda ’ s twelve provinces was divided into an urban and a rural stratum, resulting in 23 strata (the province of Kigali City only consists of urban areas). In a first stage, primary sampling units were drawn from a listing of enumeration areas prepared for the 2002 Census. Primary sampling units were selected with probability proportional to size regarding the number of households in each enumeration area. This exercise was conducted separately in every stratum.

In half of all selected households, an additional questionnaire was administered to survey all men aged 15-59 years about their health status. The questionnaire design remained broadly similar across the survey waves. Still, both the number of variables and the sample size increased over time with about 6, 500, 10, 600 and 11, 300 prime age women included in the 1992, 2000 and 2005 survey, respectively. The RDHS include detailed information on women ’ s birth histories (permitting the calculation of a fertility indicator to be used as the dependent variable below), maternal and child health, marital history, access to health services, domestic violence, sibling mortality, and women ’ s socio-economic characteristics, including schooling and main occupation.

Instead, we construct a wealth index based on recorded household assets. Components of the index include durables, such as radio and bicycle, source of drinking water, characteristics of floor materials, and type of toilet facility.

The 1992 RDHS builds on the 1991 Census as a sampling frame. At the time of the 1992 survey collection, a civil war was ongoing, with most actions of warfare taking place along the Ugandan-Rwandan border. Due to security concerns, 44 rural sectors in the provinces of Byumba and Ruhengeri in northern Rwanda were excluded from the sample frame at the outset. The 2000 RDHS builds on the listing of enumeration areas outlined for another household survey, the Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Ménages (EICV) collected in 2000, as no other population records were available at the time. The sampling frame of the EICV itself is based on the pre-genocide Census of 1991. Three strata were used – Kigali, other urban areas, rural areas – and rural areas were further stratified into provinces, resulting in 13 strata (Ministère des Finances et la Planification Economique 2003).

The asset variables are first normalized and then transformed into a single wealth index through principal component analysis, following an approach proposed by Kolenikov and Angeles (2009). Scree plots indicate that the first principal component is highly significant in every wave, while further components carry little information, as desired. The wealth-index is likely to indicate the long-term economic well-being, as many durables captured are typically held by households for many years and are not frequently replaced (Sahn and Stifel 2000).

Yet, only the 1992 pre-genocide RDHS wave records ethnicity, as self-reported by respondents. In an effort to suppress further ethnic tensions, the post-genocide government of Rwanda forbids the usage and identification of ethnic categories. Hence, RDHS collected after 1994 does not record respondents ’ ethnicity. In response to this challenge, we construct several ‘ conflict proxies ’ measuring likely exposure to conflict. These proxies allow us to differentiate two channels through which exposure to mass violence may influence fertility: replacement effects (where women choose to have children in the post-conflict period to compensate their lost children from during the conflict period) and marriage market effects (where a relative shortage of men to women creates a ‘ bottleneck ’ for women to get married). It is important to note that the conflict proxies do not necessarily identify victims of targeted genocidal violence. Rather, these proxies indicate individuals and age groups that were likely to be exposed to conflict-related violence. Given that the 1994 genocide occurred within a time span of just about 100 days, the duration or timing of conflict exposure is of less importance in the Rwandan genocide.

The RDHS questionnaires record child mortality in great detail and even ask for the month of death. This allows us to precisely code CHILDDEATH to take the value one if a woman lost one or more children between April and July 1994. Moreover, we differentiate child death by gender in two further conflict proxies: SONDEATH indicates the death of at least one son during the genocide; DAUGHTERDEATH the death of at least one daughter. Fig. 2 displays the occurrence of child deaths over time as calculated from the 2000 and 2005 RDHS. Child deaths peak during the 1994 genocide, although child mortality remains relatively high in the immediate post-war period. Given that many mothers would have been killed in the genocide at the same time as their (young) children, this proxy somewhat underestimates the effects of genocide on child mortality. We interpret this proxy as capturing also the negative effects of conflict on health, sanitation and nutrition, leading to (even) higher child mortality. A second proxy indicating replacement effects uses sibling mortality during the genocide (SIBLINGDEATH).

Of every sibling, information is available on the sex, date of birth, whether the sibling is still living, year of death, and whether the death was related to pregnancy or childbirth. This information is recorded irrespective of whether or not the sibling lives in the same household as the respondent and thus provides a good geographical coverage of deaths occurring across the whole country. However, no information is available on the sibling ’ s place of living or the place of death. The occurrence of sibling deaths over time calculated from the 2000 and 2005 RDHS is displayed in Fig. 3. The graphs from both years exhibit one single and outstanding peak which coincides with the timing of the 1994 genocide.

As discussed below in more detail, these variables are likely to capture the direct effects of genocide at the household most accurately. Women still living with their parents who recorded a sibling death during the genocide have a very high probability of having experienced the sibling death very closely. This may shape fertility negatively, for example through the stigma attached to having been part of a conflict victim household. b) Marital status and sex ratios The third proxy is a specific form of marital status, namely whether or not a woman is a widow (WIDOW). This proxy is available in both the pre-genocide and post-genocide RDHS. However, the RDHS questionnaire does not record the husband ’ s cause of death or date of death. It is hence impossible to distinguish conflict widows from HIV / AIDS widows or other widows. Still, the majority of widows in the 2000 and 2005 waves are very likely to be genocide widows (Brück and Schindler 2009) – that is, formerly wives of Tutsi husbands or moderate Hutu husbands.

This point is underlined in Fig. 4, which depicts the distribution of current marital status (single, married, divorced, widowed) for women of various age groups in 1992, 2000, and 2005. The proportion of widows relative to married and unmarried women increased considerably after the genocide, particularly for younger women. For instance, the proportion of widows among women of age 25-34 years doubled between 1992 and 2000. Moreover, the proportion of widows rises steadily with older birth cohorts; a similar pattern is apparent for divorced women. This may indicate that once a 6 The original question was ‘ How many years ago did [name of sibling] die? ’ The 2005 RDHS was collected between February and July 2005, while the genocide occurred between April and July 1994. Hence, a woman interviewed in February 2005 whose sibling died in May 1994 lost her sibling ten (discrete) years before the interview, which translates into 1995. In contrast, the 2000 RDHS was collected between June and November 2000, so most respondents who lost a sibling during the genocide period would have reported the death occurring six years ago, which translates into 1994. 7 Verwimp and de Walque (2010) use the same RDHS data from 2000 to analyze excess mortality patterns related to the 1994 genocide.

The data on sex ratio comes from two secondary sources: the 1991 Census (which is matched with the 1992 RDHS) and the 2002 Census (which is matched with the 2000 RDHS and the 2005 RDHS). Women are assigned the average sex ratio (defined as the ratio of males to females) in the cohort of their potential partners in a given province, taking into account the typical age difference between spouses in Rwanda. More precisely, sex ratios in a woman ’ s five-year age group, one younger age group and two older age groups were averaged. These provincial, age group-specific sex ratios are the closest approximation to the local marriage market possible with publicly available data. Still, sex ratios derived from census data overestimate the number of men potentially available on the marriage market, as tens of thousands of male perpetrators of genocide were in jail (Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning et al. 2003).

This is due to the fact that proxies for conflict exposure measuring replacement effects are only available for post-genocide RDHS data, while conflict proxies measuring marriage market effects are available for both pre-genocide and post-genocide RDHS data. Table 2 provides a schematic summary of the estimation strategy. 8 Unfortunately, most information on marital history available in the RDHS refers to the current partnership.

Other socio-economic characteristics differ significantly as well across Hutu and Tutsi, including education and wealth.

A regression analysis confirms this: When regressing the total number of children on multiple characteristics (including ethnicity, age, education, place of residence, and partnership characteristics), ethnicity is no longer statistically significant. Fifth, we run all estimates based on the full sample of women in order to enhance the comparability and precision of the estimates. In both short-term and long-term analyses, the impact of conflict exposure is only slightly smaller in terms of the magnitude of effects and the level of significance compared to the original results derived from restricted samples. 7 Conclusions The paper analyzes the effects of mass violent conflict on fertility for conflict-survivors in the case of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 using individual-level data.

Akan oral traditions place women at the leadership of migrant groups and nascent communities that would later form the nucleus of Asante.

In this matrilineal society with a paired male (chief) and female (queen mother) leadership, represented by stools as symbols of office, Rattray was informed that: In fact, but for two causes, the stool occupied by the male would possibly not be in existence at all. 1.

For demographic characteristics of refugees and their arrival and return information, we use administrative data from the Profile Global Registration System (ProGres) database of UNHCR. For the conditions faced by refugees in exile, we use vulnerability surveys conducted by UN agencies in Jordan and Lebanon, and complement these with a new household survey comprising similar demographic and socioeconomic modules but also including vignettes about the drivers of return. Finally, for conditions in Syria, we have compiled a novel monthly conflict events data set to use along with nighttime light emissions data that proxies access to utilities. These sources are utilized in two different but complementary ways. First, we exploit the temporal and spatial variation of the nightlights and conflict events series to build a sub-district-month panel for conditions inside Syria.

We next turn to analyzing the factors that helped or hindered the return of Syrian refugees until early 2018. 3 Data and Empirical Strategy Return migration decisions are potentially influenced by expected payoffs in both the country of origin and country of asylum, as well as the individual characteristics of refugees. To analyze these factors, we need a comprehensive data set, which is often not available especially in active conflict situations. In what follows, we describe the strategy we followed in exploiting the available information. 3. 1 Data With an active conflict situation in Syria, a complete longitudinal data set for conditions in countries of asylum and origin was not available. Thus, we adopt a pragmatic approach that combines different sources and types of data. Refugee attributes: We use the Profile Global Registration System (ProGres) database, which is compiled by UNHCR to record each person of concern who ap- proaches it. 7 Our version comprised about 2. 16 million Syrian refugees in the Middle East and North Africa region (Turkey and European countries are not included), with a cutoffdate of March 2018.

In addition, information on their registration status is recorded, including refugee status, arrival and, where applicable, return date, and sub-district-level location information for last residence in Syria and current residence in the country of asylum. It also identifies kinship of individuals within each “ case\"(e. g., familial relationships of everyone within a case to the principal applicant, ranging from members of the nuclear family to extended family, such as in-laws and aunts). Following the initial registration, entries are updated in subsequent contacts. Up- date frequencies vary from one operation to another, with at least 5 percent of all observations being updated in a given month. 8 Therefore, although information on single-shot events like arrival and return dates is fixed, other information like occupa- tion, education and marital status may change over time. In the case of education and marital status, these changes are largely driven by the aging of the refugee. However, the occupation variable is more problematic, since it could refer to current employ- ment or past employment (including in Syria) depending on when it was last updated. Therefore, while we are able to use all of the demographic and registration information of the ProGres database, we exclude the occupation variable from the main analysis.

VASyR surveys employ a two-stage cluster sampling approach: first, to ensure geographical representativeness, 30 clusters are ran- domly selected in proportion to refugee population size and, then, 5 to 6 randomly selected households in each selected cluster are visited. There are a number of challenges when using the VAF and VASyr surveys. The first is the limited comparability of questions across surveys. This limits the number of variables we can use to measure conditions in Lebanon and Jordan consistently. Nonetheless, we are able to proxy for living conditions and access to employment by computing a composite food security index using principal components analysis (PCA) of normalized food consumption variables. The latter include the average number of meals per day, and the average number of days a week a case did not have to borrow food, restrict portion sizes, limit the number of meals or restrict consumption of adults. A PCA index is also computed for housing conditions, using normalized dummies for whether the case has an acceptable roof and windows, and access to a (private) latrine.

This information is then matched with all refugees in the ProGres database that have location information in Lebanon and Jordan, yielding a sample of 1. 85 million refugees. Finally, we worry about reporting bias. Respondents may have felt they were more likely to receive assistance if they reported worse living conditions. The bias could also go the other way if refugees want to signal their gratitude for the assistance they receive. The problem is even more acute given our research question.

We can therefore remove the responses from cases who ultimately return when aggregating the data to the district and governorate levels. This should at least keep the reporting bias constant across geographic areas. Second, we employ a fixed effect specification which looks at changes in conditions in Lebanon and Jordan, which will remove differences in reporting bias which are time invariant.

This allows us to differentiate between different types of conflict events while assessing the impact on the return decisions of refugees: a priori, some conflict events, like chemical attacks, are expected to pose a greater deterrent to return than others. Such decomposition of conflict events also helps us to reduce potential endogeneity concerns between return and the proxies of conflict intensity, e. g., casualties.

By describing hypothetical scenarios, but ones which hit fairly close to home, and varying key factors within those scenarios should help us identify what factors are important to many refugee families when deciding whether to return.

We then look at the percentage of refugees from a given district in Syria in that demographic category who returned. This helps account for the fact that the profile of refugees from a given origin district may have been altered when there is high versus low conflict- i. e. there may be more widows among the refugee population who hail from high conflict districts. Figure 5 has five panels. The regression results behind these figures are available in appendix tables A1-A4. 17 Note that the standard error bars show differences within each conflict grouping (e. g. the difference between male and female refugees among low conflict districts; and analogously the difference between male and female refugees within high conflict districts).

In fact, this point often appears in the popular media in different forms like\"good conditions make refugees stay\"and, by extension,\"bad conditions make refugees return\". 19 In this section, we show that our results do not necessarily support this view. First, we explore how individual return decisions are affected by living conditions in the host countries by estimating equation 4.

In addition to these hurdles, there is a general lack of empirical information on gender variables at the individual and household levels, difficulty in measuring intrahousehold issues when investigating gender inequalities, and logistical difficulties and risks involved in both conducting research and acting as a research subject in conflict and postconflict situations. Safety and ethical issues arise, especially in investigations of sexual and gender-based violence and interviews with combatants. Finally, conflict research generally conceptualizes conflict as a discrete event or shock, although conflict is a process that evolves over time and recurs in repeated cycles of violence (Brück and others 2010). Despite these limitations, recent research on the consequences of conflict has advanced and has benefitted from more and better micro-level data, increased use of innovative approaches, and quasi-experimental variation.

Seeking a more satisfactory solution, Brück and others (2010) proposed adding a generic violence module to standard household surveys. The inclusion of such a module would remediate or offset the inability of survey-based research to infer the effects of violent conflict on schooling, health, and labor market outcomes disaggregated by gender. To address the issue of attribution of causality, researchers have sought to control for unobserved heterogeneity correlated with both conflict and outcomes of interest as much as possible (e. g., using area or household fixed effects).

The validity of this method is contingent on no other changes between the two groups (regions) at the same time as the exposure to conflict.

Similarly, Obermeyer and others (2008) reported that males accounted for 81 percent of violent war deaths in 13 countries over the period from 1955 to 2002. De Walque and Verwimp (2009) used age at marriage to partially control for being a Tutsi and estimated that adult males and educated people were most likely to die in 1994, the year of the Rwandan genocide that killed at least 500, 000 people.

The disability burden from war was similarly skewed toward men and toward Sub- Saharan Africa (Krug and others 2002). The extent to which males suffer higher mortality than females varies somewhat with the nature of the conflict. Foreign armies sent to participate in a conflict tend to consist largely of young men, so excess deaths are highly concentrated among this group (Buzzell and Preston 2007).

A global review of 50 countries found significant increases in gender-based violence following major wars (World Bank 2011). Estimates of sexual and gender-based violence can suffer in both wartime and peacetime from serious underreporting (i. e., because people are unwilling or afraid to report gender-based violence, especially when the perpetrator is a family member) or overreporting, when incidence statistics are inflated because reporting improves with time (Nordås and Cohen 2011). This situation also occurs in peacetime, making it very difficult to accurately assess the increases in sexual and gender-based violence that are associated with conflict. Recent evidence highlights variations in the prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence in war situations and relates this variation to combatant norms and group cohesion.

The confessional system of governance has heavily impeded the equitable and efficient distribution of investments and public services. Provision and targeting of public services tend to be guided by considerations of confessional quotas and electoral geography rather than needs- based service delivery that favors the poor. In the absence of effective state institutions, sectarian organizations have played a key role in the provision of social services such as education, health, and welfare support to the most vulnerable groups linked to their electorates, thus deepening a sense of discriminatory and inequitable system (World Bank, 2016; Kraft et al., 2008).

Both groups appear balanced on key outcomes related to soft skills, tolerance values, and labor market outcomes. The exception is that non-selected youth exhibited a better sense of belonging to the Lebanese community and selected youth were more likely to have been unpaid employees (interns) at the time of baseline data collection. In addition to comparing means of observable characteristics, the study also tested for the differences in the statistical distributions of key outcomes using two sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of the equality of distributions. Results indicate that the only key outcome for which there is a statistically significant difference in its distribution between the treatment and comparison groups at baseline is the sense of belonging to the Lebanese community.

(a) IMPACTS ON SOCIAL COHESION VALUES The two main indicators that measure improvements in social cohesion values are tolerance and a sense of belonging to the Lebanese community. Measuring social cohesion values in large-scale surveys is challenging. We are unable to use extensive measures, but rely instead on brief measures adapted from Harb (2010). The tolerance measure relies on a series of 12 questions, each of which is ranked on a four-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 12 and 48 points. The sense of belonging to the Lebanese community measure consists of 18 questions, each of which is ranked on a seven-point scale, which makes the total possible score range between 18 and 126. Thus, higher scale values indicate higher tolerance values and a stronger sense of belonging to the Lebanese community.

Additionally, it was a relatively simple scale with no need for special training to administer it or to analyze the results of the scale. 17 These skills include: awareness of one ’ s own styles of communication; understanding and valuing different styles of communication; practicing empathy; adjusting one ’ s own styles of communication to match others'styles.

At baseline, half of the selected and non-selected volunteers were active and searching for a job.

This definition opens two tracks for investigation: first, how much aid would be needed if the policy objective were to bring refugee consumption up to the poverty line. The answer to this question is found by identifying the poverty gap for refugees. This opens the second track which explores the factors that determine, or at least that are associated with, the size of the poverty gap. The note is organized as follows. The next section discusses data and presents some key descriptive statistics on refugees and host communities in Uganda. This is followed by a methodological section discussing how own income and aid are complements and how an analysis of poverty gaps informs about the need for assistance. This is followed by two analytical sections. The first identifies refugee poverty gaps, and assistance needs for refugees with distinct characteristics. The following section estimates how much has been saved by including refugees in the economy and explores how more could be saved. Conclusions follow. 2 The poverty numbers in World Bank (2019) are based on the official poverty line adopted in Uganda in 1997. There was a need to update this line as it was too old and producing a very low poverty rate. For example, using this line produced a national poverty rate of about 21 percent in 2019 / 20 compared to more the than 40 percent international poverty rate using the USD 2. 15 2017 PPP daily poverty line. In order to address this criticism, the poverty line was revised by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics in 2021, but it is not available for the 2018 Refugee and Host Communities Household Survey used in this note.

Selected characteristics across Ugandan and refugee households, % Source: RHCS 2018, WB staff calculations. A simple comparison between refugees and Ugandan households demonstrates that refugees lag with regards to selected characteristics found to narrow the poverty gap. For example, refugees are less likely to have access to land than Ugandans. If refugees have access to land, the majority do not own it, but have user rights. The size of land also differs a lot among Ugandan and refugee households. Most Ugandans have at least 0. 05 hectare per capita, while the majority of refugees have less than 0. 05 hectare per capita. Refugee heads of household are also less likely to work and less likely to be literate compared to their Ugandan counterparts. Refugees have higher shares of children and elderly in household size compared to Ugandans. For example, among almost 60 percent of refugee households, more than half of the household members are children and elderly compared to 42 percent of households among Ugandans.

Exposure The main reason why urban risk is large and increasing is the rise in exposure. Although urbanization statistics suffer from a lack of standard definitions of what should be considered ‘ urban ’, the assumption of half the world ’ s population living in cities seems realistic. Urban populations are growing in practically all developing countries. About 40-60 percent of this growth can be attributed to natural growth, i. e., fertility of urban dwellers (Montgomery 2009). The remaining growth is due to urban expansion and migration, reducing the share of rural residents except where rural fertility is vastly larger. The latest UN urban population estimates suggest that, globally, urban population exceeded rural population for the first time in 2008 (UN 2008). In less developed regions, this threshold is expected to be reached by 2019. This continuing urbanization process will lead to an increase of exposure of people and economic activity in hazard prone urban areas. Although we can only speculate about the global distribution of disaster damage in cities today and in the future, newly available geographically referenced data yield some estimates of urban exposure to natural hazards.

The owners may not have taken these consequences into account when evaluating specific mitigation measures. Consider the following example.

In addition to the city or location specific analysis, we examine how investors value risk from natural disasters. Data from a recently compiled dataset of a sample of global cities provides some insights.

Their dataset also includes information on many factors that determine the supply and demand for central office space such as construction wage rates, steel and cement prices, geographic constraints, metropolitan populations and incomes. We link this information to the natural disasters hotspot dataset (Dilley et al. 2005), and examine if city demand – as reflected in office rents, is sensitive to risk from natural disasters. Gomez-Ibañez and Ruiz Nuñez (2006) focus on offices in the primary business district, which they define as the district having the highest density of employment; a very large, if not the largest, concentration of offices; and the highest rents in the metropolitan area.

On the other hand, middle income households moved away to avoid risk, and the wealthy, for whom insurance and self-protection was the most affordable, did not change where they lived. Poor people “ sort ” into low rent locations – which are often at higher risk to natural hazards. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries where there is a divide between the formal and informal markets for land. While formal developments may respect land use regulations, informal settlements are often located in hazard prone locations, such as on hill slopes, close to river banks, or near open drains and sewers. In Dhaka for example, informal settlements are developing across the metropolitan area, with many residents lacking basic public services and in locations at risk from flooding. In fact, most informal settlements do not have access to a public toilet within 100 meters, and 7, 600 households in 44 slums live within 50m of the river (World Bank 2005, Dhaka Urban Poverty Assessment).

The most significant change in fact occurred among rural workers with farmers growing very significantly at the expenses of agricultural em- ployees. Non agricultural labor has remained practically unchanged during the period while agri- cultural employment has increased marginally.

Evaluations of law enforcement reforms in low and middle income countries have typically been limited to case study approaches drawing from police records (notorious for under-reporting), qualitative perspectives from key informant interviews, intermediate outcomes such as changes in attitudes and knowledge among police and judges, and interviews with small numbers of women who have sought legal redress. Population-based data collection, control groups, or follow-up among more than a handful of survivors are rare.

Elsewhere, governments have collaborated with the United Nations to provide training and support for the police and judiciary. For example, ILANUD is a joint institute of the government of Costa Rica and the United Nations that works with governmental agencies throughout Latin America to improve the work of prosecutors, judges, lawyers, police and other professionals in criminal justice generally, and gender-based violence specifically (Villanueva, 1999; ILANUD, n. d.). Most of these initiatives have been evaluated using key informant interviews and pre and post questionnaires before and after training-if they have been evaluated at all. Nonetheless, training appears to be both constructive and urgently needed (Rashid, 2001; Villanueva, 1999). Other lessons learned include the finding that changing attitudes of law enforcement is a challenging, long-term process. The quality of the trainings ’ content and the skills of the trainer are essential. Training appears to be most effective when all levels of personnel (especially high-level officials) participate, and when training is backed up with changes throughout the institution, such as policies, procedures, adequate resources, and continual monitoring and evaluation.

Instead, Heise and colleagues argue that the most effective way to improve the health care response is to use a “ systems approach ” involving reforms throughout the organization. Typically, these initiatives include changes in norms, policies and protocols, infrastructure upgrades to ensure private consultations, training all staff (including managers), ensuring that providers have adequate resources such as referral networks and directories, and strengthening the ability of staff to provide emergency services such as danger assessment, safety planning, emotional support, STI prophylaxis, and emergency contraception. In settings where adequate referral services do not exist, health programs sometimes offer specialized services such as counseling, legal aid and women ’ s support groups. The International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF / WHR) carried out an initiative illustrating the “ systems approach ” in four member associations in Latin America, namely: Profamilia (the Dominican Republic), INPPARES (Peru), and PLAFAM (Venezuela), with some participation from BEMFAM (Brazil).

This initiative benefited from generous funding from international donors, and it might be difficult for other organizations to replicate the project in its entirety; however, IPPF / WHR has disseminated a large body of recommendations and tools designed to help organizations in low-income settings build on their experiences. Routine screening (also called routine enquiry) Research indicates that without routine screening, providers typically identify only a fraction of women requiring assistance with physical or sexual abuse. Routine screening for violence has increasingly been considered the standard of care within women ’ s health services in the United States and other industrialized countries (American Medical Association, 1992; Buel, 2001). However, a vigorous debate has erupted over the benefits and risks of routine screening, particularly in resource-poor settings (Ramsay et al., 2002; Garcia Moreno, 2002).

Institutional reform Efforts to improve the institutional response to gender-based violence range from sensitization and training of staff, sexual harassment policies, curriculum reform, school-wide anti-violence awareness campaigns, counseling and referrals, and broader efforts to reduce discrimination against girls and improve school safety.

For example, the UNICEF African Girls Education Initiative (AGEI) used a combination of these approaches, (along with other strategies) to boost girls ’ enrolment in 34 African countries (UNICEF, 2003a). Evidence of this project ’ s effectiveness was limited in many sites, largely due to limitations in the evaluation design.

Overall, however, the experience of this project suggests that addressing concerns about girls ’ safety and reducing the risk of sexual harassment and violence in schools is not only a high priority for parents, but also a potentially promising way to improve girls ’ access to education in selected settings (UNICEF, 2003b).

Few have been well documented or evaluated. A comparative study of HIV / AIDS education in three African countries found evidence that awareness and responses to sexual harassment in the Uganda sites was markedly better than those in Botswana and Malawi; researchers attributed this to the Ugandan government ’ s efforts to curb sexual harassment in schools (Bennell, Hyde, and Swainson, 2002). The South African National Department of Education (in collaboration with international organizations) has developed a training module for educators (South African National Department of Education, 2001). Composed of eight interactive workshops and other materials, the module aims to increase educators ’ awareness of sexual harassment and gender violence, highlight the links between violence and HIV / AIDS and increase the safety of the school environment. The module is a professional development tool, rather than a part of the national curriculum. It has been field tested in some sites, and according to some reports is being rolled out nationwide. In other settings, schools have trained educators to teach courses promoting gender-equitable norms and nonviolence among students.

Batterer programs Increasingly, NGOs and governments have attempted to reduce violence against women by organizing treatment programs for batterers, aimed at changing their attitudes and behaviors. Most are run by NGOs, but they often depend on court- mandated attendance as an alternative to criminal sanctions. Most batterer programs have been carried out in high-income countries, but increasingly they have been implemented by developing country NGOs, such as the Instituto Noos in Brazil (White, Greene, and Murphy, 2003) and CORIAC in Mexico (Morrison and Biehl, 1999). Many studies have evaluated these programs ’ effectiveness in high-income countries, but most evaluations have been methodologically flawed. The only randomized controlled trial to date was carried out by the United States Navy, which found no reduction in abuse compared with controls (Dunford, 2000). Battered women often identify treatment or counseling for their husbands as a high priority (e. g. Ellsberg, 2001b), but it remains to be seen whether cost-effective strategies for changing batterer behavior can be found. Shelters Many researchers and advocates have called on governments and donors to invest in shelters for women who experience gender-based violence.

Ultimately, researchers concluded that-- similar to other types of empowerment initiatives-- micro-credit programs appear to work in two directions at once. On the one hand, they reduce women's vulnerability to violence by strengthening their access to resources and making women's lives more public; on the other hand, they may increase the risk of violence by challenging patriarchal norms and escalating conflict in the household. Some micro-credit programs are trying to reduce the potential risks of exacerbating violence associated with micro-credit. For example, RADAR (South Africa) has integrated HIV / AIDS and gender-based violence prevention into an existing microcredit program for women in poor rural communities.

The estimation of models with correlated errors across choices requires either multiple integration or the use of Bayesian estimation techniques relying on Gibbs sampling. With a choice of over 70 possible destinations, multiple integration is out of the question. Gibbs sampling remains a possibility but would require extensive programming. We choose instead to keep the logit approach but to correct the standard errors for possible correlation in errors across choices.

Using administrative and survey data, the study presents enrollment trends, aca­demic performance, and barriers to educational integration. Findings from the analysis indicate that Ukrainian refugees face lower enrollment rates, higher absenteeism, and lower test scores than other students, particularly in subjects requiring language proficiency. Despite these challenges, teachers often recommend Ukrainian refugee students for advanced educational tracks, thus revealing their optimism about the potential of these students.

Compared to other foreign children in Italy, the aspirations of Ukrainian refugees to return to Ukraine seems signiϐicantly higher: indeed, a recent study from ISTAT on children 11 to 19 years old shows that only 11 % of foreign children wish to return to their home country (ISTAT, 2024). The relatively strong desire to return to Ukraine can have negative effects in refugee parents'educational decisions, particularly in encouraging their children to learn the language of the host country and in enrolling in school (Dryden-Peterson et al., 2019; Zengin and Atas-Akdemir, 2020).

However, students participating in both systems spend an additional 8 hours per week on online Ukrainian classes. This puts an extra burden on these children. Connectedness to Italy is correlated with demographic characteristics and social environment of refugee children. Additionally, Table 6 shows that making new friends in the country of destination and speaking Italian are strongly associated with higher connection to Italy. The mental distress resulting from displacement is a key barrier to educational integration for many Ukrainian refugees in Italy. The link between poor mental health and low school attendance and performance is widely acknowledged in the literature (see Fiining et al., 2019 for a systematic review).

This complexity is compounded when focusing on children and adolescents, given the need for enumerators to receive specific training to interact with such a vulnerable demographic and for migrant parents to authorize their children ’ s involvement despite prevailing distrust issues.

Surprisingly, our analysis does not identify any disparities in socio-emotional and mental health between the two groups. This out- come is unexpected, given the high incidence of socio-emotional and mental health chal- lenges among forcibly displaced populations. The absence of discernible gaps in these areas could be attributed to the non-exposure of Venezuelan migrants to warfare, or it may reflect the vulnerabilities of the Colombian population, which has its own extensive history of internal forced displacement and violence.

This is specially true in contexts where migrants are not hosted in refugee camps, but are integrated in local communi- ties, which account for 80 % of refugees worldwide (Climate Center 2022).

The listing included data on Venezuelan settlements from all available sources, such as the 2018 population census, migrant organizations, and settlements identified by iMMAP, a non-profit orga- nization. iMMAP uses multiple sources, including OIM, United Nations, local migrant organizations, and satellite images, to identify Venezuelan settlements geographically. 9 Hence, to create our sampling frame, our field team verified the geographic location of all the Venezuelan settlements in-person and implemented a snowball sampling procedure in all the settlements found.

The survey also employed the Peabody vocabulary test to evaluate the cognitive devel- opment of all participating children and adolescents. A summary of the survey modules is depicted in Table A. 1.

A Key characteristics of adults Table 2 provides descriptive statistics for the adults in our study, encompassing the pri- mary caregiver, mother and father (if residing with the child), and the individual finan- cially responsible for the child (should they be different from the aforementioned per- sons). Typically, the roles of primary caregiver and financial provider are fulfilled by either the mother or the father. The table is organized into three panels for clarity: Panel A details key individual characteristics, Panel B outlines adults ’ access to services, and Panel C focuses on labor market characteristics. Within the table, columns (1) and (2) present average values for adults from Colombia and Venezuela, respectively, while the final column displays the results of mean difference tests between these two groups, with standard errors noted in brackets.

A Physical development: Body Mass Index and health status In our study, we examine disparities in nutritional and health status among Colombian and Venezuelan children aged 5 to 10 years, focusing on standardized body mass index (BMI), instances of overweight and underweight, and overall health status.

This test, in its Spanish edition, has been validated for use in Colombia. Additionally, to ensure relevance and accuracy for Venezuelan nationals, we conducted a preliminary validation by administering the test to a sample of Venezuelan mothers in our study. This step confirmed that the words used in the test held consistent meanings for participants from Venezuela.

This visualization indicates that Venezuelan minors consistently score lower on the PVTS compared to their Colombian peers across the en- tire score distribution.

V. C Socioemotional and mental health development To explore the differences in mental health and socioemotional development across Colom- bian and Venezuelan minors we use multiple scales. For children aged 5-10 years, the Trauma Symptoms Checklist for Young Children is employed. This 90-item question- 19Children only respond to items within their “ critical range ”, determined by a lower limit called the “ base item ” and an upper limit called the “ ceiling item ”. The base item, marking the starting point, is determined by the individual ’ s chronological age in years (date of test administration- date of birth). Once the child correctly answers 8 consecutive questions, they reach the ” Base ”. Subsequently, upon making 6 mistakes within 8 consecutive questions, the ceiling is established. The direct score is calculated as the item number where the test ends (ceiling item) minus the number of errors from the highest base to the end of the ceiling. 36 Usage context: supporting mention, primary mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "to severe based on the score. Moreover, depression is screened with the Patient Health Questionnaire, a 9-item tool administered directly to adolescents.

V. D Social Cohesion We also delve into the differences in secondary outcomes among Colombian and Venezue- lan adolescents concerning social cohesion. We focus on assessing altruism, trust, iden- tity towards specific domains, networks, and experiences of discrimination. To measure altruism and trust, we employ the questions from the Global Preference Survey, a tool developed by Falk et al. (2022) to elicit risk, time, and social preferences.

VII Discussion In this study, we analyze novel and unique data on forcibly displaced migrants and hosts, focusing on children and adolescents, to highlight the disparities in human development between them. The structure our analysis in two parts. In the first part, we characterize the main trends in the data. We show that forcibly displaced households have a wealth distribution skewed towards lower values relative to Colombian households. This is likely explained by the assets ownership loss that forcibly displaced households expe- rienced after the migration episode. We also identify meaningful lags in human capital accumulation between Colombian and Venezuelan children and adolescents of approxi- mately 1 year. We further note that the Colombian government ’ s supportive policies for Venezuelan forced migrants are evident through high levels of service access and pro- gram participation for migrants. Nevertheless, it remains surprising that participation is not higher, suggesting significant potential for improvement in increasing sisb ´ en and health insurance enrollments. In a second part of our analysis, we document sizeable lags in physical and cognitive de- velopment of Venezuelan children and adolescents, relative to their Colombian counter- parts. However, we were not able to identify any gaps in the socioemotional and mental health between the two groups.

In theory, a few of the crises studied could have been predicted but it would not be possible to allocate individuals to treated and non-treated groups randomly given that, by the definition of forced displacement we provided, people are fleeing violence, persecution or high levels of insecurity or uncertainty. Consequently, none of the papers reviewed is based on a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Due to the randomness of the decision to leave (because of conflict, violence, insecurity or major political events) and / or the random allocation of displaced people in the country of destination (by policy or by default), some authors argue that they are in the presence of natural experiments. All authors do, however, address the question of endogeneity and, if one searches for a common thread, these evaluations would be better described as quasi-natural experiments.

[Table 2] The unit of observation varies depending on the data at hand. Most studies rely on household survey data where individuals or households are the unit of observations and most studies include some regional dimension (more frequently administrative areas). Where longitudinal or panel data are available time is also included. Other choices for unit of observations include skills or education level, various types of population groups (based on gender, age etc.), and, in a few cases, economic sectors, industry or labor market segments. The use of fixed effects varies. Some papers use the full set of parameters depicting units of observation (for example, household, region and time fixed effects in equations where the unit of observation is constructed using household, region and time).

There are also only a handful of papers that discuss estimations of the error term and choices made in this regard. The two prevalent evaluation methods used by these studies are Differences-in Difference (DD) methods and linear elasticities models. In the first case, the variable of interest (FD) is a discrete status variable (generally a pre / post- treated / non-treated interaction term) and the coefficient of interest measures the impact on outcomes in the presence or absence of displaced people. In the second case, the model is typically in log form and is based on a shock variable that measures the intensity of the shock such as the number or share of refugees per geographical unit. In this case, the coefficient measures the elasticity of outcomes to the intensity of displacement. A few papers conduct simple differences illustrating results graphically or in tabular form. A few papers use ordinary matching methods (Alix-Garcia and Bartlett 2015, Aydemir and Kirdar 2018, Murard and Sakalli 2017; Mayda et al. 2017) and three papers use Synthetic Matching Methods (Peri and Yasenov 2017; Borjas 2017; Makela 2017). We could not find any paper using a discontinuity design. 12 The essential ingredients used to measure the population shock are the number or presence of forcibly displaced persons, the size of the host population and the distance of the displaced from host communities if the displaced are clustered in camps or other forms of independent settlements.

The choice of matching methods varies from ordinary methods such as nearest neighbor to more recent advances such as Synthetic Control Methods (Abadie and Gardeazabal, 2003). The inclusion of fixed effects is common to almost all papers although the choice of fixed effects can be very different, as described above. Only one paper uses Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) formal models in conjunction and tests for differences (Esen and Binatli 2017).

When comparing impacts between locations within a country, cross-sectional data also usually does not allow to capture impacts on those who moved out and to differentiate impacts between those who were already there before the shock and those who moved in afterwards. Some of the models based on administrative areas qualify as spatial econometrics models in that they use estimation methods that derive from this literature and are published in spatial econometrics journals. Studies that compare different areas within a country are not only confronted with the potential endogeneity of the size and skill composition of the inflow and the choice of destination, but also with the endogenous reactions of the host community. Local workers might respond to the labor supply shock by dropping out of the labor force, investing in education, occupational upgrading or moving to other areas and diffusing the impact of the inflow. Even if local workers do not respond to wage variations, capital flows may equalize capital / labor ratios within the country, labor-intensive industries might move towards the regions with a high refugee or IDP influx or firms might use more labor-intensive production technologies. The reactions of the host country workers, investors and firms are medium-to long-term in nature and will play less of a role in the short-term if there are large, sudden and geographically concentrated inflows. Some of the papers explicitly analyze these potential channels, notably migration of local workers, and, to a lesser extent, occupational upgrading. Outmigration of hosts is a critical complement to the labor market analysis and excluding this outcome can lead to an underestimation of the impacts of forced displacement on the labor market outcomes of natives.

Rozo and Sviastchi (2018) include the number of hours worked, and Ruiz and Vargas-Silva (2017) look at the changes in number of hours dedicated to a task (including employment outside the household). The second question relates to possible spurious correlations generated by how variables are combined in models. Linear models that use ratios of two variables as dependent variable (think of average prices or wages, employment rates or consumption per capita) and the denominator of this ratio as independent variables (think of the share of refugees on host communities or household size) can produce spurious correlations (Kronmal 1993).

This is clearly a shortcoming of this literature that will require increased attention in the future. 4. Meta-analysis of empirical results 4. 1 Data The literature review covers 49 papers spanning over a period of 29 years. We were not able to find published papers prior to the work by Card in 1990, which effectively started this literature, and there is a relatively low interest in this topic between 1990 and 2011 with only one or two papers published per year. With the Syrian crisis starting in 2011 and the EU crisis in 2015 the number of papers per year increased by several fold. Most of the papers and results considered in this review are therefore very recent (Figure 2). We used academic databases and search engines (EconLit, Social Science Research Network, JSTOR, Google Scholar) and searched websites of institutions with relevant working paper series (NBER, IZA, ERF and others). Relevant unpublished papers were included by searching agendas of workshops and conferences organized during the past few years.

This does not mean that a causal link from falling growth to conflict can be ruled out. But it is unlikely to drive the macro relationship we see in the data. In order to further explore the relationship between violence and country-level out- put we run two specifications of the model described above. In the first model conflict in country i at time t is defined by any violence, i. e. if at least one battle related deaths occurs. In the second specification, conflict is defined by a higher threshold, by 0. 008 deaths per 1000 population. 10 We expect to get different results from the two specifications. From the analysis of Figure 1 we know that economic damage of civil war increases with the severity of conflict. The estimated impact from the second model should therefore be more acute.

For this purpose, we use the height loss measure from the previous sub- section to estimate the marginal effect of an extra cm loss on log GDP. This serves two objectives. First, we explore whether the micro evidence can be used as a conduit for understanding the long-term damage to output from conflict.

We use the exposure model which controls for global investment flows through Xt. The regression with total inflows as an exposure variable can be thought of as modeling the annual rate of investment inflows into a country in each year. 40 The variable peaceit is a dummy that takes a value of 1 in all years with peace. We lag this variable by one year to allow for the fact that investment needs some planning and will not react immediately to changes in the host country. We expect γ0 > 0 if inflows increase after the end of conflict. It is likely that effects of violence will be most visible if the conflict has been intense in terms of battle related deaths per capita. Yet, the right cut-offfor the peace dummy is a priori not clear. India, for example, is coded as in conflict throughout the period if we choose a very low threshold.

For a general discus- sion of count data models, see Cameron and Trivedi (2013). Our results are also robust to using year fixed effects instead of exposure. 41The reason is that the OECD data, the Dutch Central Bank data and the UN data allows us to distinguish between net flows and gross flows. 42We also distinguish two different ways of calculating the cut-offof intensity using contemporaneous and average population in a country.

According to this the investment from OECD countries was almost 70 percent larger in peacetime than during conflict. The flows from other data sources shows an increase of between 35 and 50 percent. The consistency of this result across very different datasets is striking. Note also that the average change in inflows implied by these rates is very large. In 2012, average inflows in the World Bank dataset were over 9. 5 billion USD and over 3 billion USD in the OECD data. Our estimates therefore imply a gain of between 2 billion and 4 billion USD in yearly inflows for countries which emerge from conflict. In order to understand the dynamics of recovery it is useful to understand the dynamics of this change around the end of conflict. For this purpose we add a set of dummies to the equation above. We construct a dummy that indicates the start of recovery and add three forward and lag dummies to trace average investment around this date.

We collected data on political risk evaluations from ONDD who, according to their annual report, insured transactions worth about 7 billion EUR in 2011.

Furthermore, this bias is strongly associated with terrorism intensity in the vicinity of the court in the year preceding the ruling. Confidence-building is also a crucial ingredient for the establishment of a fertile investment climate, which in turn is a trigger of economic development post conflict.

The paper combines data from a face-to-face baseline survey with information collected via mobile phone interviews from respondents identified during the baseline. This innovative approach to data collection makes it possible to collect welfare data with high frequency (monthly) – important in a volatile crisis situation – and allows measuring changes over time. It also permits following displaced and refugee households once they return, even if they return to areas that are inaccessible to enumerators. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides a brief overview of the methodology, the sample and sample selection. Section 3 discusses the characteristics of the displaced and returnees, looking specifically at ethnic composition, place of origin, household size, education, asset ownership and employment status. Section 4 considers how the crisis affected food consumption, employment, assets and school attendance.

Conclusion The 2012 crisis in northern Mali led to widespread displacement. The welfare of the displaced – and those who returned – is monitored by combining a baseline survey with structured monthly follow-up interviews carried out by mobile phone. This innovative approach allows tracking changes in welfare with high frequency – even for those who returned to areas that are insecure and inaccessible to enumerators. After 6 rounds of follow-up interviews attrition rates are very low (more than 99 % response rate), demonstrating that it is possible to collect robust and representative data from hard-to-reach, conflict-affected populations. The results show that those who fled were better educated, better off and less affected by violence than the average population in the North. Those who fled lost significant amounts of durable goods (20-60 %) and livestock (50-90 %); many of their children ended up being taken out of school and their welfare (measured subjectively and by the number of meals consumed) declined considerably. Over time, the impact of the crisis on welfare has lessened and by February 2015 the majority of eligible children of the displaced were going to school and levels of employment and number of meals consumed were at pre-crisis levels.

Despite the recent emergence of a dynamic literature, empirical analysis of migration flows and their impact lags behind the policy debate and the theoretical literature. The main reason is the absence of comprehensive and reliable data on international migration patterns and migrant characteristics at either the aggregate or the household level. The objective of this article is to use data from more than one thousand national censuses and population registers to estimate a complete global origin – destination migration matrix for each decade over 1960 – 2000. These 226 * 226 matrices, comprising every country, major territory, and dependency around the world, are divided into periods corresponding to the last five completed census rounds. The gender dimension of international migration over this period is also presented. The primary source of the raw data is the United Nations Population Division ‘ s Global Migration Database, created through the collaboration of the United Nations Population Division, the United Nations Statistics Division, the World Bank, and the University of Sussex (United Nations [2008]).

There is considerable variation, however, in how destination countries collect, record, and disseminate immigration data. Meaningful comparison of destination country records over time is thus often confounded. In constructing global bilateral migration matrices, several challenges arise. First, destination countries typically classify migrants in different ways — by place of birth, citizenship, duration of stay, or type of visa. Using different criteria for a global dataset generates discrepancies in the data. Second, many geopolitical changes occurred between 1960 and 2000, with many international borders redrawn as new countries emerged and others disappeared. In addition to creating millions of migrants overnight — as when the Soviet Union collapsed — these events complicate the tracking of migrants over time. Third, even when national censuses of destination countries include data on international migrant stocks, the data are presented along aggregate geographic categories rather than by country of origin. Data therefore need to be disaggregated to the country level. Finally, the greatest hurdle is dealing with omitted or missing census data. Very few destination countries — especially developing countries — have conducted rigorous censuses or population registers during every census round over the second half of the twentieth century. Wars, civil strife, lack of funding, and political intransigence are but a few reasons why records may be discontinuous. 1 Of the 3, 500 sources detailed in the overarching UN Global Migration Database, 1, 107 were suitable for analysis, once repeated censuses had been removed or combined. Global Migration Database should not be confused with the Trends in International Migrant Stock Database, which lists aggregate migrant stocks for each destination country in the world at five year intervals (United Nations 2006) 2 The article treats the concepts of nationality and citizenship as analogous and uses the terms interchangeably.

The starting point is a master set of 226 origin or destination countries and regions. Despite border changes, all migrants are assigned to this master set so that migrations can be meaningfully tracked over time. These assignments, especially in cases where only aggregate data are available, are made using several alternative propensity measures based either on a destination country ‘ s propensity to accept international migrants or on an origin country ‘ s propensity to send migrants abroad. Cases of omitted data occur when destination countries do not collect or publicly disseminate the information on migrants. When data from census rounds are missing altogether, the approach taken depends on the extent of the omission (see appendices 3 and 4). When sufficient data are available for other decades, interpolation is used. When not enough data are available, propensity measures are used to generate bilateral data.

The matrices can be readily updated as additional or superior information surfaces, and they can easily be extended to include future census rounds. Bilateral datasets of international migration are rare. Attempts to create them have focused almost exclusively on industrialized countries as destinations because these countries have more accurate and more frequently produced data. Harrison and others (2003) calculate bilateral remittances for the countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) together with the 27 largest nonmembers. These estimates are based on international bilateral migrant stock data that the authors also provide, although many of the data are derived from the Trends in International Migration (OECD 2002). This report, published annually since 1973, was arguably the most comprehensive guide to international migration for many years and has been the basis for many studies (see, for example, Mayda 2007). More recently, the OECD has developed a database that provides a comprehensive overview of migration to OECD countries in 2000 (OECD 2008).

Where both censuses and population registers are available, censuses receive priority. Censuses, generally conducted decennially, are retrospective tools for surveying an entire population (or in some cases, a representative sample) at a single point in time. In addition to their universal coverage, their greatest strength is the inclusion of questions on place of birth and nationality. Censuses also typically aim to enumerate the resident population, whether documented or undocumented (Bilsborrow and others 1997). So although some migrants have a strong incentive to provide false information to enumerators, many undocumented migrants will be captured in these matrices. 7 The size and scope of the census questionnaires vary enormously, both over time and in different destination countries. And there is potential variation in the quality of censuses both across countries and over time. Richer countries have many resources at their disposal to design questionnaires, train interviewers, employ statisticians, and disseminate results. Researchers have little choice but to accept the data at face value. However, where the underlying census is clearly substandard (when there are errors that are obviously not coding errors or not easily corrected), these data are omitted from the analysis.

Material from the German 2005 micro-census was therefore used to supplement the data for Germany (see appendix 3). In the case of Korea, data by nationality are readily available for each census round. However, these data fail to account for the large numbers of migrants from the People ‘ s Democratic Republic of Korea living in the Republic of Korea.

Some census questionnaires ask for a specific country of birth and others simply ask for a general geographic region, such as Africa. Even if the original questionnaire asked detailed questions, some countries disseminate data only on how many residents were born abroad or have foreign citizenship. In general, three types of migrant origin are observed in the disseminated census data:  Specific geographic regions: Some of these correspond to exactly one of the 226 countries and territories in the master list. Others pertain to localities that tend to be obscure territories, islands, or regions, such as the Isle of Man or Ceuta.  Aggregate geographic regions: These correspond to two or more countries or territories in the master list. They can be continents (such as Africa), parts of continents (such as South Asia), political alliances (European Union), or other classifications (such as Other Ex-French Africa; Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco; and Melanesia). The data for these aggregate regions need to be allocated to the 226 countries in the master list. The details of the procedures are discussed below.  Miscellaneous categories: These include refugees, stateless, and born at sea. There are generally no geographic correspondences for these. Thousands of geographic regions and categories emerged from the more than one thousand individual destination country sources chosen for the analysis. The vast majority of these are repetitions that refer to identical geographic locations using different 14 The United Nations (1998) has developed recommendations aimed at promoting standardized recording practices across countries.

Since these categories together constitute around 45 percent of migrants in each census round, the original bilateral portion of each cell was compared with the final number assigned to them after the various calculations as a check on accuracy. For each decade, therefore, the overall percentage contribution of the raw bilateral data to the total is calculated (table 6). 23 In each census round, at least 92 percent of all those categories are derived from the raw data. { Table 6 here} Simulating Missing Data Finally, to examine the reliability of the estimated missing census data and test the methodologies, several scenarios are assumed. All bilateral observations for a single year for four countries (Australia, United States, Switzerland, and Chile) in different parts of the world are deleted and the missing cells are filled using one of five methods. 24 The first simulation assumes that all bilateral data for 2000 are missing but that the total number of migrants is available.

This situation generally arises when a census does not report the number of foreign-born migrants on a bilateral basis. Examples include Austria and Côte d ‘ Ivoire. Third, differences in the years to which the data refer can generate large disparities. For example, this study uses the 1966 data for Australia, whereas Trends in International Migrant Stock reports data for 1970. Overall, however, the fact that the totals are remarkably close in every decade adds credence to the estimates here. IV.

This makes the task of treating, combining, and analyzing ethnicities extremely daunting as it requires substantial back- ground knowledge on hundreds of ethnicities and a manual treatment would inevitably lead to incon- sistencies, errors of manipulation, and / or subjective choices.

Such endogenous selection would be reflected in the EPR-ER data. To deal with the plausibly endogenous nature of the resulting refugee EF and EP indices, we implement a gravity model to predict the number of refugees of a certain ethnic group e moving from country o to d at time t, based on EPR-ER data. The predicted (and plausibly exogenous) number of refugees by ethnic group e is then used to create other (plausibly exogenous) diversity indices to be used as instrumental variables.

Since similar ethnic groups are likely to share common borders (Michaelopoulos and Papaioannou, 2016), it is not impossible to think conflict might spill over through this channel. 19 Usage context: supporting mention, primary mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "REFodet = αod + γe + τt + β1Conflictot − 1 + β2Conflictet − 1 + β3Distanceed + ϵodet, (5) where REFodet is the stock of refugees of ethnic group e from country o in country d at year t.

Ideally, we would have liked to construct our local diversity indices based on census data. However, such data are not available on an annual basis and only a minority of African countries include ethnicity questions on their censuses (Robinson, 2017).

In theory, this should make it more difficult to observe the true relationship between ethnic diversity and some outcomes at the local level. Diversity indices are more likely to be measured with noise in highly diverse communities at the local level. We nonetheless argue that such a concern should not be overestimated, for three reasons. First, such noise cannot easily explain the contrast between the coefficients corresponding to the pre-revised and revised indices and the opposite results found for the revised refugee fractionalization and the revised polarization. This set of results can be explained by the fact that our identification comes from the annual changes in refugees flows. Second, the IV approach is likely to deal with the measurement errors if they are correlated with our main variables of interest. Our IV estimates therefore capture a local average treatment effect coming from the plausibly exogenous increase in annual refugee flows of particular ethnic groups. The similarity of the IV results to the OLS results supports this interpretation. Third, at the cost of introducing attenuation bias30, we also aggregate the number of conflict events at the regional level. Lines B and C of Table 7 confirm the negative and positive effects found for the revised fractionalization and polarization indexes, respectively, whether or not 30Another risk highlighted by Robinson (2017) is the fact that ethnic diversity may also capture different theoretical mechanisms at aggregated levels. 34 Usage context: background mention, supporting mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "of the groups and the distances between them.

For a country that has never experienced such a large-scale, sudden inflow of foreigners, demographic changes in the composition of the population and labor force will yield unprecedented implications. This paper examines, as data allows, the relationship between the size of the foreign-born population and host community poverty rates in Turkey. First, this paper finds the poverty rates of ‘ recent migrants ’ near the Syrian border (NSB) significantly increased from 2009 to 2013. Second, the number of foreign-born households being captured by the Labor Force Survey (LFS) is expanding, which suggests a growing number of foreign households that are likely to be Syrians. Third, with respect to poverty, the results show no negative impacts on the host community as a result of the increasing size of the foreign-born population. The impact of SUTPs has been both positive and negative. Overall, a significant negative impact on host communities ’ welfare is not observed in the data.

Many conclusions from the traditional literature on the study of immigrants ’ impact on natives cannot be applied to the case of Syrians in Turkey. There are many differences between the inflow of Syrians and other flows of extended family and economic immigrants. First, the sheer volume of Syrian refugees and the short time- frame in which they entered Turkey is unprecedented. For the case of Syrians in Turkey, or displaced populations in general, large movements of refugees are not restricted due to humanitarian reasons. Second, formal immigration processes are controlled, limited, and regulated by destination countries. Therefore, results from literature on “ immigrants ” are very different than a focus on displaced or refugee populations. Recent literature on the labor market effects of SUTPs estimates negative impacts on host community employment rates.

The economic effects of SUTPs not only vary across different segments of the labor market, there are also strong regional differences in their economic effects. Using synthetic modelling methods, Ozturkler and Goksel (2015) estimate the impact of Syrian refugees on local prices, wages, inflation, and services in 10 cities with large refugee populations. Some of the salient negative effects have been increases in rental prices, increases in inflation at border cities, illegal hiring by small business, and decreases in wages. However, in some cities (Gaziantep, Adana, Kahramanmaras, and Mardin), the presence of refugees has improved the trade balance, and economic activity in these areas are projected to increase as economic integration with MENA deepens. Orhan and Gundogar (2015) also note both positive and negative aspects of SUTPs. A primary contribution of this paper is the estimation of poverty at the sub-national level and among population groups of interest.

The arrival year of foreign-born migrants is available in the data which allows for identification of “ Settled Migrants ” and “ Recent Migrants ”. The latter is used as a proxy for Syrian refugees for the purposes of this paper. National official surveys that are conducted under-report the refugee population. Yet, since about 10 percent of Syrian refugees are in camps and the remaining are residing throughout the country, it is not surprising that they are accessible to interviews by the LFS. Despite data limitations, there are strong and significant trends in the poverty rates for the recent foreign- born, especially for those near the Syrian border.

Throughout history, immigration to Turkey has been relatively limited and consisted mostly of those of Turkish heritage. In the early 20th century, immigration was encouraged by the government as a method to increase the population. Since 1970, immigration has slowed down and has been even discouraged at times. Many immigrants to Turkey are of Muslim Turkish background, since the government prioritized preserving a national identity. This is likely why “ migrants ” had very similar or even lower poverty rates than the host community. The sharp degradation of welfare among recent migrants in 2013 illustrates the severity of poverty that is arising very likely from a growing population of Syrian refugees.

The refugee camp population in Turkey has been stable since March of 2013 as the physical capacity of the camps have been exhausted. 6 This saturation has resulted in a steep increase in the number of Syrians living outside camps across Turkey. The proportion of Syrian refugees living outside camps increased from 53 percent to 87 percent between March 2013 and November 2014. 7 In addition, even though refugees living outside camps continue to be concentrated near the Syrian border (64 percent), the dispersion of Syrians across the country has expanded, especially in major urban centers such as Istanbul and Ankara. The results in this paper are limited to 2013 due to changes in the 2014 LFS that make poverty estimations incomparable to previous years. 8 Therefore our results may provide only a partial insight into the impact of SUTPs, since the dispersion of Syrians across Turkey has increased greatly in 2014 and 2015.

Overall, this paper finds no negative effects on host community welfare from an increasing population of SUTPs. As other authors have stated, the influx of SUTPs has had both positive and negative impacts. It seems on average, the host community has been strong and adaptive, and not negatively impacted. This is not to disregard that real strains do exist in some regions where the SUTP population is very large. Nor do these results undermine findings of displacement effects in the labor market that certain types of workers are experiencing.

DATA AND TECHNICAL ISSUES Data Sets Data availability limits which data set can be used to identify the foreign-born population and geographic location while measuring poverty. The Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) has been conducting three nationally representative surveys annually since 2005; the Household Income and Consumption Expenditure Survey (HICES), the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) and the Labor Force Survey (LFS). However the HICES, which is the national survey that is used to measure official poverty, 5 UNCHR, 2013pg 13 6 UNHCR (22 November 2013), UNHCR (15 September 2014) 7 UNHCR (22 March 2013), Erdogan (2014), pg 14 8 This technical issue will be discussed further later in the paper.

Another advantage of using the LFS is the availability of CPI at the NUTS2 level in Turkey which allows for spatial deflation of different price levels across the country. Table 1.

Principally, there is a low number of sample points that are migrant households. Moreover, the study cannot identify migrant households and individuals that are specifically Syrian refugees. Foreign migrants are defined as those who were born abroad and have lived abroad for at least more than 12 months. Some Turkish-born households have also lived abroad for over a year, and these individuals are not considered to be migrants. Amongst foreign-born individuals, only the ones who have been in the country for more than 12 months are included in the sample which underrepresents the actual number of foreign migrants in the region. In addition, no specific procedure is adopted by the enumerators if the household does not speak Turkish. Given that a majority of Syrian refugees do not speak Turkish, the language barrier might result in the removal of Syrian households from the sample. Finally, refugee camps are not included in the sample frame, which limits the study to only examining recent migrants who do not live in refugee camps. 9 Wage income is only available for regular and casual employees in the LFS which accounts for around 60 % of total employment.

ANALYSIS Has the increase in Syrian refugees impacted the welfare and socioeconomic conditions of the host community? Summary statistics in the previous section showed clear trends of increasing poverty among recent migrants throughout the country, both near the Syrian border and across rest of the country. While the poverty rates of recent migrant households spiked in 2013, poverty of host community households maintained a relatively constant level in the whole country. From these trends, it appears that there at least has not been an increasing trend in poverty among the host community over the latest years. The empirical model is shown in Equation 1. Regressions are estimated at the NUTS2-year level and using data from only the years 2011 and 2013. The dependent variable of interest is the host community poverty rate by region and year, where the poverty rate is based on spatially deflated imputed household income.

In Ghana, the government linked increases in the VAT rate explicitly to the new public spending programs, such as the Ghana Education Trust (GET) Fund in 2002 and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2003 which enjoyed broad public support. The government used strategic communication to make this link in order to avoid major public protests, such as the Kume Preko protests that greeted the introduction of the VAT in 1995 and left several people dead (Osei, 2000; Prichard, July 2009). Similarly, Ghana ’ s government linked the introduction of a talk tax on mobile phone calls to efforts to combat youth unemployment, which helped to curb public opposition (Prichard, July 2009). 3. 1 Is donor and non-state actor service provision likely to undermine the fiscal contract?

Africa is an especially good place to examine these issues because of the large amount of variation both within and across African countries in the extent to which non-state actors, donors and other states are active in service provision and the extent to which governments are relatively effective and fair. Government responsiveness, corruption and reliance on non-public resources vary considerably among localities with consequences for citizen understanding of and relationship to government (Gibson and Hoffman, 2005).

Introduction The most common sampling approach for cross-sectional household surveys in the developing world is a stratified two-stage design (Grosh and Munoz, 1996). Following stratification based on administrative boundaries, clusters are selected in the first stage with probability proportional to size from a national census-based frame. In the second stage, a canvassing operation is conducted in the selected clusters to compile an updated list from which households are randomly selected. While this methodology is straight forward to implement in the field and reliably produces unbiased estimates, there are several downsides. The first downside is cost. The World Bank ’ s Living Standards Measurement Study team, which provides technical assistance on large-scale household surveys around the world, estimates the field listing operation increases the overall budget for data collection by 25 percent. Due to confidentiality concerns, the data collected during a field listing operation, typically the name of the household head and address or location description of dwellings, does not have any analytical applications beyond as a component of the weight calculations. 2 At a time when typical survey costs are in the USD millions, reducing a significant cost component will increase the financial sustainability of data collection. The second drawback to the traditional design relates to timeliness.

Shannon et al (2012) also used such a method to select points in a study of violence in Southern Lebanon in 2008 but used the radius of a circle to define an area to be field listed, and from which buildings and then households were selected for enumeration.

Probabilities of selection inherently cannot be calculated in a random walk sample design as no information is collected on how many structures are in the camp, or how likely it was that a given structure was the xth structure along any path. Random walk must then assume all structures have the same selection probability, implying constant sampling weights. Therefore, the only component of the weights for the random walk is the sub-sampling of households within a selected structure: 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖 ′ = 𝑁𝑁𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 𝑖𝑖. 2. 6.

Each sampling technique targeted about 322 interviews so that comparisons could be made between the methods using an identical sample size. There was, however, some non-response for each method if interviewers were not able to contact a household member who could provide access to the barcode, if the barcode had not been retained by the household, or if the barcode was not scanned correctly.

Random Walk Random Walk obtains a sample by randomly selecting starting points for enumerators with generic but unambiguous instructions to select households at regular intervals on their path. For this experiment, enumerators conducted random walks using 21 RSPs (Figure 8). Starting as near as possible to the RSP, the supervisor chose any random point (like a street corner or a school). From this point, four enumerators walked each in one of the four cardinal directions. Walking in their designated direction away from the RSP, they counted structures on both the right and the left and each selected the fifth structure for interview. Enumerators were instructed to start with the buildings on the right if two buildings were opposite to each other. To select the next structure, enumerators continued along the cardinal path, and selected the next fifth structure. If the enumerator could not proceed on its cardinal path because she had reached the boundary of the PoC camp, enumerators were instructed to turn right at a 90-degree angle and continue counting until finding the fifth dwelling. Enumerators had to conduct six interviews along their paths. 4. Implementation Issues 4. 1. Failure to Follow Survey Protocols As noted above, even if field protocols are perfectly implemented, the estimates generated from Random Walk designs are likely to be biased. Enumerators furthermore often were unable or unwilling to follow the protocols. Streets and paths were not necessarily aligned with cardinal directions and obstacles further impeded the ability to follow a straight path. Additionally, since the selection method requires enumerator judgment, it is not replicable and therefore allows enumerators greater discretion to choose which households are “ selected. ” Figure 9 shows the paths taken by two teams of enumerators from Usage context: background mention, primary mention, supporting mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "16 implementation matters.

In conclusion and in line with the literature, most probability-based methods perform better than non-probability methods like random walk. In addition, implementation of adherence with the survey protocol is extremely important and using appropriate methods and tools to cope with this challenge is absolutely mandatory for coming as close as possible to the theoretical results derived by the simulation for the probability-based methods.

Appendix 7. 1. Simulation and Frame To compare the efficiency of the different sampling frames and designs, we will apply an empirical sampling simulation. In this type of (Monte-Carlo style) simulation, either a true or synthetic population is used as the target population. By applying a specific sampling design, and repeated sampling (usually 1, 000 repetitions) under this design, we can compare the resulting population estimates with the known true population values for each run of the simulation. The resulting distribution of these estimates is called the sampling distribution, and the average squared deviation from the underlying population value is the Mean Squared Error (MSE) or when taking its square root, the Root MSE (RMSE). To facilitate the comparison, we use the relative version expressed in percentage deviation. Empirical sampling simulations can be considered as the “ […] ultimate tool for investigators who want to know if one sampling strategy will work better than another for their population. ” (Thompson, 2012).

Introduction We are in the midst of protracted refugee crises. According to the latest UNHCR trends report, at the end of 2020, 76 percent of refugees globally (15. 7 million) were in a protracted situation (UNHCR 2021). 2 Most refugees reside in low-income countries, and more than eight of every 10 refugees (86 percent) live in countries within territories affected by acute food insecurity and malnutrition (UNHCR 2021a). Refugee receiving host communities also tend to be poor, experience precarious livelihood conditions and face many socio-economic challenges, such as low economic status, poor access to public services, and infrastructural development. For these communities, refugees might bring both challenges and benefits. On the one hand, refugees increase competition for natural resources (e. g., wood for energy, construction, land), public services and infrastructure (e. g., education, health, water supply), and economic opportunities (e. g., traditional livelihoods, labor employment). Refugee inflow may also affect the local market by mainly depressing wages and raising product prices (Vemuru et al. 2020).

It should be noted that this analysis is taking place during a period where refugees in Ethiopia were prohibited by law from seeking work outside designated camps. This has changed after 2019 because of the revised Ethiopian Refugee Law. These effects tend to be heterogeneous across regions and to a limited extent, vary depending on the gender of the household head. The negative effects tend to be concentrated in Gambella, a region that hosts most of the refugee population in Ethiopia and where the refugee population is as large as the population of the region. Overall, compared to women-headed households, households with a male head seem to benefit through increased diversification of activities as a secondary 4 Region refers to the administration level 1 from the Database of Global Administrative Areas (GADM).

Our analysis applies a gender lens to a rich set of microdata on Syrian refugees in Jordan collected by UNHCR between 2011 and 2014.

This definition of female headship has advantages over the way that household headship is commonly identified in household surveys. An often ‐ noted drawback of the headship variable is that female headship may reflect the enumerators ’ perception about who should be considered a family head rather than who has the most responsibility for the family ’ s welfare in practice. 7 Social norms can also affect whether female respondents self ‐ identify as household heads. For example, some Eritrean returnees who would in other cultural settings be regarded as de jure female headed (single mothers, widows, divorcees, separated women) reported being male ‐ headed. Other Eritrean female returnees who would be considered de facto heads reported headship by absent husbands or male relatives (Kibreab, 2003). Our approach is therefore to distinguish between different types of female and male principal applicant households, using a typology that reflects some of the indicators of vulnerability used by UNHCR.

The Challenges of Protracted Refugee Situations in Sub ‐ Saharan Africa At the global level, about 54 % (i. e. about 6. 3 million) refugees were in protracted refugee situation by the end of 2013 (UNHCR 2014). 2 As reported by Kreibaum (2016), the number of protracted refugee situations has increased from 22 in 1990 to 30 in 2008. These protracted situations in Africa have been characterized by Crisp (2003) as in most of the cases: i) peripherally located with poor security, unfavorable climatic conditions, and economical and political marginalized; ii) concentrating people with special needs like e. g. children and women (see Section 3); and iii) lacking basic human rights, including those covered by the provision of the 1951 refugee convention. Another distinct feature of refugees in SSA is that they are mostly hosted in organized camps. While in developing countries around one third of refugees are hosted in camps, the share raises to about 40 percent in Sub ‐ Saharan Africa (Figure 5). 3 The percentage of 76 percent in Eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa stresses again the pressing situation in this part of the world.

Such figures are based on the most recent year available (2013) and may change significantly following the large inflows of Syrian refugees into Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey. Nonetheless, the differences are sufficiently striking to believe that this is a distinct feature of refugee hosting in SSA. 2 UNHCR defines a protracted refugee situation as “ one in which 25, 000 or more refugees of the same nationality have been in exile for five years or longer in a given asylum country ” (2012: 23). 3 The figures are based on refugees (including those in refugee ‐ like situation). Persons in refugee ‐ like situations include “ groups of persons who are outside their country or territory of origin and who face protection risks similar to refugees but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained ” (UNHCR 2014: 39). The number of refugees and people in refugee ‐ like situation for which demographic data is available does not necessarily equal the total number of refugees. However, for SSA, there is little difference between the two.

Refugees as Agents of Their Own Destiny 3. 1 The Composition of Africa ’ s Refugee Population and Its Consequences One of the first elements that catch the eye in Figure 6 is the difference in the composition of the refugee population in Africa compared to the rest of the world. The share of children and women among refugees is higher in Africa than elsewhere, in particular East and West Africa stand out here. This is, at least partly, a consequence of Africa ’ s younger, general population, but other forces could be at work as well, e. g. higher mortality of adult males in Africa or adult males staying behind or being separated from the rest of the household. It does mean however that, relative to other areas, more attention should be going to the needs and capacities of women and children in Africa. This means, for example, adaption of and increased supply of schooling and health services. Figure 6. The composition of refugees by age and gender, 2013 Source: Note: UNHCR statistics (UNHCR 2014).

The strong presence of children in Africa ’ s refugee population implies that we should also look at the potential long ‐ term effects of forced displacement on survivors. Given the composition of the refugee population, such long ‐ term effects will be more important in Africa compared to elsewhere. Few studies have followed children exposed to forced displacement over a long time to directly infer the long ‐ term effects of forced displacement, in particular on health, education and labor market participation. Most studies of the long term effects of conflict use an indicator of exposure to violent conflict, but few of them have forced displacement as one of the indicators. There is however a very well established literature (see Currie and Vogl, 2013 for an overview) on the long ‐ term consequences of deprivation in early childhood which can be applied to the situation of refugees. If young children between the ages of 0 to 3 years old are exposed to malnutrition, disease, stress and violence during episodes of forced displacement, then, this literature shows that this deprivation will have negative long ‐ term effects.

Half of the urban refugees and 11 % of rural refugees also have access to the Internet. 4. Refugees As a Burden? As pointed in Section 2, most refugees in SSA are hosted in neighboring countries. Most of these hosting countries are likely among the least developed countries. It has been argued that these refugees may constitute an additional burden in terms of economic development in hosting countries (Mabiso et al. 2014). UNHCR (2014: 17) implicitly recognizes that potential burden by suggesting that the ratio of the size of the country ’ s hosted refugee population to its average income level can provide a proxy measure of the burden of hosting refugees.

We even argue in Section 6 that such representation is not conducive to the right policy framework in refugee ‐ hosting areas. 4 The other major host countries per USD GDP are all developing countries, with Pakistan (1st), Jordan (8th), Bangladesh (9th), Yemen (10th), Iran (14th), Lebanon (17th), and India (20th). Figure A2 provides the top 10 ranking in the world. At a global level, we should note that in 2013 “ the 40 countries with the largest number of refugees per 1 USD GDP (PPP) per capita were all members of developing regions, and included 22 Least Developed Countries ” (UNHCR 2014: 17).

Nevertheless, the limited resources remained a major constraint on that effort and sheds light on the institutional constraints existing to scale up such positive efforts of coordination. Case Study # 2: The protracted refugee situations in Kenya Dealing with refugees remains a relatively novel phenomenon in Kenya. It was not until the early 1990s that Kenya witnessed massive refugee influxes from Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia (Banki 2004). Prior to that period however, Kenya had a reputation for having generous refugee policies, which allowed the successful integration of a number of refugees from Mozambique, Uganda and Rwanda (Banki 2004). However, with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of new refugees from neighboring countries during the 1990s, the responsibility for the care of the refugees shifted from the Government of Kenya ’ s (GoK) to the international community, leaving the more inclusive policies that were prevailing before 1991.

On a per capita basis this equates to around 25 % of average annual per capita income in North Eastern province ”. This estimation corresponds to a back ‐ on ‐ the ‐ envelope approximation but it gives a sense of the major benefits to the local population. Similar to the Tanzanian case, the presence of the Dadaab refugee camps is reported to have improved the provision of local public goods such as the frequency and reach of transport services and the availability of health and social services. NORDECO also observed environmental degradation around the Dadaab camps5 but spatially restricted in an area of inherently low resource value. It seems that environmental support programs have helped limiting the collection of firewood by refugees and providing alternative fuel sources (Milner and Loescher 2004). Compared to the Tanzanian case, two main differences emerge.

First, on the distributional dimension, NORDECO (2010) did not point to a similar substitution effect between unskilled labor or refugees. In a pastoralist environment, the low ‐ middle ‐ income group and the poor are those primarily engaged in selling their products to refugee camps. Second, contrary to Alix ‐ Garcia and Saah (2010) for Tanzania, “ the price of basic commodities such as maize, rice, wheat, sugar and cooking oil is [reported to be] at least 20 % lower in camps than in other towns in arid and semi ‐ arid parts of Kenya. The main reasons are the re ‐ sale of WFP [World Food Program] rations, access to free food by locals registered as refugees and illegal imports via Somalia ” (NORDECO 2010: 9). Another possible explanation reported by Maystadt and Duranton (2014) in the Tanzanian case, is the importance of transport services in pushing the price of traded goods down. Although focusing more on the urban function of the refugee camps and the social transformation underpinned in the hosting society, Jansen (2011) also reports similar trading activities and wealth 5 Nonetheless, such a degradation is acknowledged by NORDECO (2010) to be difficult to distinguish from general trend prevailing the region.

Although that literature is still in its infancy, we can seek to draw a few lessons, even if these lessons can also serve as further hypotheses to be tested. First, the three case studies underline the importance of market mechanisms. Previous literature was very much focused on the health, environmental, and security consequences of hosting refugees. These concerns still rank as first priorities when refugees cross borders.

For those who moved elsewhere within the region, poverty rates drop by about 12 percentage points, and for those who moved out of the region, they drop by 23 percentage points. Had we not tracked and interviewed people who moved out of the community – a practice found in many panel surveys – we would have seriously underestimated the extent to which poverty has gone down over the past 13 years in the Kagera Region; we would have reported poverty reduction at about half of its true value.

We exploit some unique features of these data to address concerns about unobserved heterogeneity. First, individual fixed effects regressions for movers and stayers produce a difference-in-difference estimation of the impact of physical movement, controlling for any fixed individual factors that affect consumption.

The Data The Kagera Health and Development Survey (KHDS) was originally conducted by the World Bank and Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), and consisted of about 915 households interviewed up to four times from fall 1991 to January 1994 (at 6-7 month intervals) (see World Bank, 2004, and http: / / www. worldbank. org / lsms /). The KHDS 1991-1994 serves as the baseline data for this paper. Initially designed to assess the impact of the health crisis linked to the HIV-AIDS epidemic in the area, it used a stratified design to ensure relative appropriate sampling families with adult mortality.

We tested for ethnic discrimination, gender discrimination and the value of signaling soft skills in the labor market. Unlike many correspondence studies, the data allow us to observe different stages in the hiring process. We observe if the employer rejects an application, visits the profile of a candidate, number of times the profile is visited, if they contact them and if they offer an interview. Uniquely, we observe competition in the labor market on both the demand and supply sides. We do not find evidence of gender discrimination in the hiring process. Malaysia ’ s observed differential wages and labor force participation rates by gender do not seem to be associated with discrimination or human capital accumulation. More research is needed to determine why women in the Malaysian labor market have lower employment rates and wages. We find that Indian and Malay sounding name profiles are discriminated against in comparison to Chinese-sounding name profiles. There is discrimination along all the hiring process variables we observe. Malay and Indian candidates are 8 and 9 percentage points less likely to receive an interview offer relative to a Chinese candidate.

Introduction After two decades of multiparty democracy, Mali was viewed as a democratic success story. The fifth presidential elections were scheduled to take place in March 2012 and another peaceful and democratic transfer of power was widely anticipated. Reality was different, however. A secessionist movement sparked by a Kel Tamasheq1 rebellion led to a political and constitutional crisis culminating in a coup d ’ état in March 2012 and an attempt to take over the country by force. The three northern regions of Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal became occupied by various rebel and Islamist factions until early 2013, when a coalition composed of the Malian Army, French troops and the ECOWAS-led African-led International Support Missions to Mali (AFISMA) recaptured the occupied areas. 2 After months of insecurity in the North and two violent attacks in Bamako, a Peace Accord was signed in May and June 2015 between the government and different actors involved in the rebellion. The Accord established a joint vision for peace and prosperity predicated on demobilization and disarmament, the devolution of authority to local governments, and the establishment of conditions for restoring stability and economic recovery in northern Mali. In spite of the Accord, the regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu remain in a state of prolonged crisis, with high levels of insecurity and weak governance.

To our knowledge, our surveys implemented by a private survey entity, GISSE, are the only systematic and representative effort to collect data in north Mali since the crisis. They offer a unique database providing a crucial perspective that would otherwise not be reflected in academic analyses and policy level decision-making, and a perspective that is indispensable in any attempt at understanding the situation in Northern Mali. 4 Preceding the Accord on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (Accord pour la paix et la réconciliation au Mali) (hereafter, the Peace Accord) of May and June 2015, four peace accords had been signed between the government and Toureg and Arab armed groups in 1 Kel Tamasheq (those who speak Tamasheq) is synonymous for Tuareq. 2 Francis David (2013): The regional impact of the armed conflict and French intervention in Mali.

Using the roster of household members which was compiled during the first part of the interview, another member of the household aged 18 or above was selected randomly to answer the second part of the questionnaire in which perception questions were asked. Alternation between male and female was ensured. The survey thus generated data that are reflective of the opinions of those aged 18 and above in northern Mali.

Finally, the process of technological change, especially the development of digital communications, is a key factor in justifying new forms of non-standard employment. The expansion of services and global supply chains is inextricably linked to technological advances. The new information technologies, the higher quality and the lower cost of infrastructure and the logistical and transport improvements, allow companies to compare, organize and manage production in a more diversified way in territorial terms. At the same time, new communication technologies have allowed the generation of new forms of work, such as work on internet platforms or work on demand through digital applications. In this sense, technological developments allow companies to assemble teams of workers who develop activities in any part of the world through a virtual network (Brews and Tucci, 2004). The most recent development of online recruitment services, such as\"eLance\"and\"oDesk\"enables the search for workers who can be subcontracted, performing their activities in virtual mode. 3.

In Nigeria, most children experiencing intrahousehold inequality reside in non-displaced households – although it is crucial to note that these children constitute most of the school-age children (71. 1 %), and the levels of intrahousehold inequality are nonetheless far higher than anticipated if displacement status had no effect. In Somalia, displaced children are significantly more likely to experience intrahousehold inequality in school attendance, as they constitute 63. 5 % of school-age children experiencing intrahousehold inequality even though they only make up 35. 3 % of the school-age children population in the sample. For the years of schooling indicator, the overall lack of intrahousehold inequality among the MPI poor in years of schooling obscures meaningful or robust differences by displacement status. Gender and displacement status appear to jointly have significant impacts in school attendance in Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan. In Northeast Nigeria, it appears that displacement status has larger effects than gender.

They offer refugees the right to own land, to engage in formal employment and commercial activities, to move freely, and to access to banking services. While participation is the stated policy objective, the reality is that previous arrivals are almost exclusively living in camps, and that the new arrivals live in “ organized sites ” (as humanitarians now call them), presumably to cope with massive arrivals but with little concrete evidence for the onward movement of refugees.

Literature review An emerging body of literature has provided valuable empirical evidence on the effects of violent conflict on income and consumption levels, and more generally on the welfare of populations living in areas of violence (Ibáñez and Moya 2009, Justino and Verwimp 2006, Verwimp and Bundervoet 2008). A significant number of studies have also examined the health impact of violent conflict, finding that violence results in negative health effects in terms of lower height-for-age and lower nutritional outcomes among children that will generate long-term consequences on future outcomes. 2 2 See Alderman et al.

The figure shows that despite the increasing trend a large fraction of individuals have low education levels. Interestingly, all curves start to drop after the 1987 cohort. This decreasing trend is observed among individuals aged 20 or younger in 2007 and provides evidence of a mismatch between the grade attended and the grade that they should have achieved at their age. 4 This is caused by a persistent sluggishness in grade achievement due to the high level of delayed entry to school and high rates of repetition. 5 The impact of the conflict in its different phases and the subsequent reconstruction efforts on schooling levels of children in Timor Leste is therefore unclear. The early years of violence coincided with an education for all policy in which quantity was preferred to quality. In addition, the 1999 violence that followed the withdrawal of Indonesian troops led to the destruction of schools and the removal of children from school. The reconstruction program implemented after 1999 tried to counteract this destruction, and achieved fast progress. However, the education sector was still in very poor shape. In the next section, we investigate in more detail the effects of the conflict on educational outcomes of boys and girls in Timor Leste. 4.

We use this data to identify districts and years that experienced high and low violence-intensity, both at the start of the occupation and following the withdrawal of Indonesian troops in 1999.

We conclude that the difference between 2010 and 2011 represents 74, 104 new refugees in 2010, who have hence been in exile for four years. In 2009, the number was at 310, 458: the difference between 2009 and 2010 (42, 750) are therefore people who have been in exile for five years, etc. We repeat the exercise for each year until the beginning of the crisis in 1991. This gives us a num- ber of new arrivals for each year since 1991. On this basis we can calculate average and median durations for this situation. Next, we aggregate all situations and consider one single “ global refugee population ”. We have for each year a number of people who arrived in a variety of situations and make up a global flow. We can hence calculate global average and median durations. For each year, we can also break down the flow across countries of arrival. We can construct similar lower-bound envelopes starting from any “ current year ” which we choose as a reference point. For example, we can apply the same protocols to evaluate average and median durations as of 1994 (the lower-bound envelope is depicted by the dash-dot line in Figure 3). This allows us to follow the variation of aggregate mean and median averages over time. 10 Usage context: supporting mention, primary mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "Medium ‐ intensity, on the other hand refers to “ regular armed clashes between governments, government forces and insurgents. ” (IISS 2017) Within the first category, according to the Armed Conflict Survey in 2016 are Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Iraq, while Myanmar, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Sudan are in medium ‐ intensity conflict.

Background and literature review 2. 1 Poverty and forced displacement By 2019, there were about 51 million IDPs across the world, most of them – 46 million – displaced by conflict and violence, with around five million displaced due to natural disasters (IDMC 2020). According to estimates by UNHCR (2020), the number of refugees reached over 20 million as of the end of 2019. While in many cases, conflict and natural disasters have been temporary, resulting in fluctuations in the number of people fleeing their homes in any given country, the global number of IDPs and refugees has grown almost every year over the last two decades. UNHCR estimates that the number of refugees has doubled over the last ten years. Nearly all IDPs live in low- and middle-income countries, and many have experienced secondary displacement. Overall, about half live in urban areas, with one-fourth in major urban areas (i. e., populations exceeding 300, 000). Since almost all IDPs are in developing countries, governments are often resource-constrained in terms of providing assistance and access to services, and in some cases, government authorities may be a cause of displacement (World Bank Group 2020).

Data Data on forcibly displaced populations are scarce, with many household surveys excluding refugees and IDPs from the sample framework. To ensure that MPI results are representative of these communities and that they can be disaggregated for comparative analysis, an initial review of possible data sets was conducted. Feasibility was determined based on the availability of sufficient sample sizes for forcibly displaced persons for quantitative analyses, as well as inclusion of many of the indicators (on health, education, living standards, etc.) 14 A household is deprived if the respondent reports feeling moderately or very unsafe when alone at home, walking alone after dark, or walking around during the day. In Sudan, the indicator on the ‘ feeling safe from crime and violence when at home ’ was not available, and the indicator only considers answers to the questions on safety when walking alone. 15 Unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, carts with tank, tanker-truck, surface water, or other are considered as unsafe water sources according to international guidelines.

Overall, the censored headcount ratios (proportion of people who are poor and deprived in a given indicator) are lower among non-displaced communities than among refugees and IDPs, but there are large differences in which indicators are the most salient in different countries. The indicators with the largest difference between the two populations are bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria. These findings reinforce the need for policies and programming that take into account the measured experiences of IDPs and refugees. In this way, the MPI can function both as tool to monitor, track, and bear witness to the lived experiences of forcibly displaced communities, as well as advise on evidence-based interventions that address the needs of the local population.

As the Sudanese sample surveys IDPs living in the Abu Shouk and El Salam camps, we must understand these deprivations with the background that these settlements were created as emergency and crisis responses rather than durable, long-term solutions (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019). Although Sudan does have a national electric grid that supplies electricity to the urban and peri-urban areas of the nearby city El Fasher, IDP communities living in the camps report limited connection to the city ’ s electricity supply, reflected in the high deprivations in the electricity and cooking fuel indicators. The ad-hoc construction of dwellings in the two camps explains why 71 % of the IDP households in Abu Shouk and 65 % in El Salam live in tukuls or other permanent mud or wood structures (Sudanese Government ’ s Joint Mechanism for Durable Solutions 2019: p. 50), both of which register as unimproved housing types.

Exposure to unclean cooking fuels and inadequate housing can lead to poor health outcomes, while lack of access to electricity and a bank account further excludes individuals from labor market integration and livelihood opportunities that would empower forcibly displaced persons to overcome their multiple, overlapping deprivations. Clearly, displacement status puts individuals at a greater risk of poverty than their host community neighbors, and we can unpack those risks in greater detail using the MPI. Results can also be broken down to show the percentage contribution of each indicator to multidimensional poverty (see Figure 2).

Gender differences in multidimensional poverty Next we examine differences in multidimensional poverty outcomes by the gender of the household head. Existing literature points out the limitation of household level MPI analysis in masking the intrahousehold distribution of deprivations, and thus being less sensitive to gender based differences in individual outcomes within the family unit, which might lead to underestimation of inequality and gender gaps (Espinoza-Delgado and Klasen 2018; Franco 2017; Klasen and Lahoti 2020, Rodriguez, 2016). However, as the MPI identifies poverty at the household level, our initial analysis focuses on disaggregated results by the gender of the household head. 19 We acknowledge that this approach has several limitations since most women reside in male-headed households, and the composition of households can change after displacement due to separation of family members, and widowhood. Regardless, the analysis at the household level remains relevant given the high prevalence of female-headed households that emerge after displacement, with the analysis showing large differences across countries between households based on the gender of the head.

Conclusion This paper contributes to the literature by analyzing multidimensional poverty among refugees and internally displaced populations. We observe that forcibly displaced communities are poorer than host communities in each of the five countries ’ sub-populations covered in the surveys, with the difference in incidence between displaced and non-displaced population ranging between 15 and 19 percentage points in South Sudan and Somalia to over 30 percentage points in Ethiopia and Sudan. Displaced communities also experience greater deprivations in nearly every indicator, although there is significant variation in which indicators are the most salient, with having a bank account and cooking fuel in Ethiopia, years of schooling in Somalia, electricity in Sudan, drinking water in South Sudan, and legal identification in Nigeria showing the largest differences between the two populations. The results also indicate gender differences in the experience of multidimensional poverty, with female-headed households more likely to be poor than male-headed households in most of the countries. In addition, displaced households headed by women have a higher incidence of poverty and MPI than non-displaced female-headed households. Particularly, female-headed households in camps have higher multidimensional poverty and intensity compared to their counterparts living outside camps. Dissaggregating further, we find heterogeneity among de facto and de jure female heads.

This phenomenon can be explained by essentially two factors. The first relates to the humanitarian ‐ development nexus. For the longest time, refugees and IDPs remained the quasi monopoly of humanitarian organizations whose mandate is essentially the humanitarian protection of refugees and IDPs. These organizations are not typically staffed by economists and analysists but by field workers and lawyers. There was, therefore, little demand for hard economics on forced displacement for a very long time. This is changing as development organizations typically staffed by economists have started to work on forced displacement situations. The second factor relates to lack of good data. As we will see in the data section, data collection of mobile populations is complex and the main organizations in charge of data collection of refugee and IDPs data are humanitarian organizations that do not necessarily have the complex skills required for issues like sampling, questionnaire design and data analysis and have a duty to protect data by mandate.

Suppose that actions taken by individuals under conflict situations affect the actions of others and ultimately one ’ s own action (the classic prisoner ’ s dilemma for example). This is what game theory is good in modeling and it could provide valuable contributions to the study of collective behavior under forced displacement situations (see for example Zeager and Bascom, 1996). New branches of economics such as neuroeconomics and behavioral economics, which combine elements of psychology and neuroscience with elements of economics, offer alternative new avenues to the construction of utility models in a forced displacement context. For example, neuroeconomics developed a hierarchical module oriented approach (Sanfey et al., 2006) whereby individuals take decisions in a hierarchical manner where multiple systems of specialized processing modules transform specific inputs into outputs in organized decision stages. This process can be observed in people ’ s brains with scans and can be modeled empirically using specifically designed questionnaires.

The defining attributes of the alternative choices are very different from any other model and the task of economics is to understand what these defining attributes should be.

The intensity of a conflict may be more important than the income opportunities in potential destination areas. In addition to the classic socioeconomic variables, risk aversion, stress, anxiety, other traits of personality and behavioral factors in general have to be well understood and measured. Hence, one could think of four essential blocks of independent variables including individual or household socioeconomic characteristics, “ push ” factors, “ pull ” factors and behavioral factors. Also, access to and dissemination of information related to the conflict in the place of origin but also in the potential places of destination may be crucial for people to make choices.

Households may decide to leave and come back several times. In econometric terms, this means that longitudinal data may be left and right censored and have spells within. They are therefore the most complex set of panel data possible and require particular treatment of data and modeling. Survival or duration models can usually accommodate many of these complexities but it is very rare to find similar data sets used in published articles. Collecting such type of data is also not obvious, particularly if conflict is intense and survey areas cannot be reached. This is an issue where empirical economics could provide a real contribution by defining the optimal data format and adapting panel models to this format. Macro models Macroeconomics has attempted to model forced migration using models borrowed from the trade and economic migration literature such as the gravitational model (Echevarria and Gardeazabal, 2016) or used other macro models to test the impact of refugees on trade (White and Tadess, 2010).

As mentioned, the UNHCR is really the only statistical agency for refugees and the UNHCR registry the only population census. As for any other populations, sampling requires the preparation of a master sample that derives from the population census. With various degrees of knowledge and accuracy, this is also what happens with refugees. However, the master sample is more difficult to construct than for regular populations because refugees live in camps and outside camps and are diluted in a host population with different types of arrangements. Some households rent, others stay at relatives ’ places, other live in makeshift shacks and others stay in camps. The information available in the UNHCR registry (the census) can also be quite inaccurate, as already discussed, and the degree of accuracy changes for different groups of refugees. Stratification by urban and rural areas, a typical approach in sampling, may mean little for a population that is mostly in urban areas whether in camps or outside camps.

Here, not only the individuals immediately displaced are considered refugees, but also their patrilineal descendants, even if born many decades later.

Overall, Figure (3) shows two labor markets with high levels of churning. On average, 29 % of individuals in the sample would change their labor market states after just one quarter. These churns are especially prominent between informal employment and unemployment, and in Gaza between unemployment and non-participation. The figure also illustrates the significant differences between the West Bank and Gaza in labor market dynamics, differences already observed in the labor market stocks presented in Figure (1).

Out of all the estimated coefficients for each period for both outcomes (job loss and job gain), we only find a negative effect on job gain in 2019Q4, which is very small in magnitude (1 percentage point).

A Geographically Disaggregated Analysis * Håvard Hegre Centre for the Study of Civil War, PRIO (CSCW) Clionadh Raleigh CSCW, PRIO & University of Colorado at Boulder Abstract Why do larger countries have more armed conflict? This paper surveys three sets of hypotheses forwarded in the conflict literature regarding the relationship between the size and location of population groups: Hypotheses based on pure population mass, on distances, on population concentrations, and some residual state-level characteristics. The hypotheses are tested on a new dataset – ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Events Dataset) – which disaggregates internal conflicts into individual events. The analysis covers 14 countries in Central Africa. The conflict event data are juxtaposed with geographically disaggregated data on populations, distance to capitals, borders, and road networks. The paper develops a statistical method to analyze this type of data. The analysis confirms several of the hypotheses.

If conflicts are located mainly at some distance from countries'capitals, we might infer that large countries have more conflicts because of the difficulties of projecting governmental power.

But it is not certain that such location-specific factors are the only relevant ones. The size of a country itself may affect risk over and beyond what is implied by sheer population size, distance, and population distributions. If the economies of scale with respect to defense are sufficiently large, the risk of conflict events at a location at a given distance from the capital may be lower the larger is the country (Collier & Hoeffler, 2002).

We have created a dataset using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program which converted large territories into smaller portions of 8. 6 km x 8. 6 km, totaling 74 square kilometers. Each of these grid squares are our units of observation (we will refer to them as squares). This approach is similar to that of Buhaug & Rød (2006), with two important differences. First, their squares are much larger (100x100km). Second, they code the dependent variable considerably more crudely than is done in the ACLED dataset described below.

Events in one conflict may also affect the likelihood of other conflicts, such as the spillover of the conflict in Rwanda into Eastern DRC. The statistical model employed to analyze these data must handle the dependence between observations. We will do this by explicitly modeling the probability of an event in a location as a function of preceding events in the same and in adjacent squares. We can do this since we know both the precise date and the precise geographic location of each event. We use an adaption of the calendar-time Cox regression model presented in Raknerud & Hegre (1997) for this purpose. In Cox regression, the dependent variable is the transition between `states of nature'-- the transition from peace to conflict in a square.

Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region in the world, and the world ’ s fastest-growing. Between 2010 and 2025, the number of people between 15 and 24 will grow to 250 million – a net increase of nearly 50 percent. Over the next decade, roughly one million young people will enter the labor market each month in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, these young people often enter the labor market too early and unprepared. Although access to education is growing, illiteracy remains high and schooling low: among the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries in the Barro-Lee (2010) data set, nearly 40 percent of women aged 15 and above have received no education at all; and the most recent (2007-2011) statistics in the World Bank ’ s Edstats data reveal that female literacy is less than 60 percent, on average. 1 This lack of preparedness contributes to a growing problem of youth unemployment. Quantifying the level of unemployment is bedeviled by lack of data and measurement issues. Household and labor force surveys throughout Africa usually record unemployment rates of less than 10 percent, 2 but those figures belie the extent of underemployment and vulnerability. Those same surveys indicate that the vast majority of working adults have insecure work in the informal sector, on the family farm, or in less- productive or unremunerated labor.

Happily, access to education is rising rapidly, especially for girls: according to the Liberian labor force survey from 2010, the ratio of girls to boys enrolled in primary school has risen from 72 in 2000 to 90 in 2009.

Just over one-third of young (15-24-year-old) Liberians are in the labor force. Young women are more likely than young men to be out of the labor force because they are engaged in household duties (30. 4 percent v. 18. 9 percent), and young men are more likely to be out of the labor force because they are still in school (75. 8 percent v. 63. 0 percent) (LISGIS 2010). Given their initial disadvantage relative to their male peers, and the sources of this disadvantage in social norms, market failures, and poorly functioning institutions, adolescent girls may require targeted policy and program efforts to achieve better outcomes. However, as in many other post-conflict situations, emergency skills training and public works programs in Liberia have targeted male youth ex- combatants, likely reinforcing rather than reducing adolescent girls ’ disadvantage. The few skills training programs for adolescent girls, run largely by NGOs, have focused on traditional female skills (such as sewing, soap production, tie-dyeing) for which the market is already well-supplied.

The EPAG Project The EPAG project is part of a larger Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) administered by the World Bank with support from the Nike Foundation and the Governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Launched in Washington DC in October 2008, the AGI was spearheaded by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who signed on to undertake the initiative ’ s first pilot project in Liberia. The Liberian pilot was launched in March 2010 and has served as a role model to seven subsequent pilot projects in Rwanda, South Sudan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Haiti, Jordan, and Lao PDR. Under the global AGI, young women and adolescent girls are given a package of skills training and complementary services in order to facilitate their successful transition to employment.

First, performance bonuses were awarded to training providers that successfully place their graduates in jobs or micro- enterprises. The bonus was the last payment that the service providers received under their contracts. These were paid about 12 months after the start of training, or around the same time as the midline survey.

Methodology 3. 1. Research design The impact evaluation of the EPAG project uses a randomized controlled trial, in which eligible applicants to the program were randomly assigned to participate in one of two cohorts (or “ rounds ”) of training. The treatment group is defined as those who were offered a space in the first round of training and the control group comprises those assigned to the second round. Selection into the training rounds was performed on a computer (using Excel) and was stratified by the track choice of the applicant (job skills versus business development skills), community, and service provider. Data were collected using three quantitative household surveys (baseline, midline, and endline) and two sets of qualitative focus group discussions (one after each round of training). A timeline of the impact evaluation is depicted in Figure 1. During both the baseline and midline surveys, the head of the household in which the EPAG participant was residing was also interviewed, in order to examine potential spillover effects of the program on non-treated household members.

The results in this paper are based on a panel data set that includes data from the baseline and midline surveys as well as administrative and monitoring data from the program implementation team. Note that although the midline data collection occurred just one month after the completion of the intervention, the intervention itself includes 6 months of post-training follow-up; hence the midline survey captures outcomes of the first cohort 7 months after they exited the classroom-based training. This timing was necessary to prevent too long of a delay between cohorts; the second cohort of trainees started immediately after the midline survey was completed. Future analysis using endline data will examine the trends in outcomes of both groups after Round 1 completion, but will not involve comparison against a pure control group of non-participants. 3. 2.

More than 40 % of households are headed by females, and the average household has slightly fewer than five members. The mothers of EPAG respondents tended to have very low education levels (almost 60 % had never been to formal school), while the fathers had more variance in their education (about a quarter had no schooling, but over 60 % had at least some secondary education). In both treatment and control households, a high proportion of school-aged children are in fact enrolled in school. Less than half of young people aged 13-30 in study households have any employment. Housing conditions are also similar across experimental groups. Tables 2A and 2B include a representative, but not exhaustive, list of indicators that were tested for balance by the authors.

Fewer than two percent of the girls in the EPAG study responded that they had no education, which is much lower than in the CWIQ survey. Second, the majority of adolescent girls and young women in Liberia reside in rural areas, whereas the survey participants were residing in urban and peri-urban areas, where access to basic social services may be much more improved.

The AGI program has focused on the development and measurement of these softer attributes that matter for employment as well as those that matter more to the individual, such as self-confidence and empowerment. Despite the challenges of measuring such subjective outcomes, the survey instruments included panels of questions designed to elucidate a nuanced picture of the personality and psychosocial characteristics that are most relevant for labor market success.

Most of these studies have focused on adult women, specifically married women with children. It is not known whether the same holds true for young women, who may have other spending priorities, have less experience in managing households, and have younger children. Given the large increases in employment and earnings documented above, the EPAG program serves as a good setting to examine these types of spillovers. The evaluation included detailed interviews with the heads of the household in which EPAG participants were residing. The purpose of the household questionnaires was precisely to examine the hypothesis that investing in young girls would benefit her household. A secondary hypothesis was that EPAG participation may change gender-related attitudes in the participants ’ households.

If the economic success of the EPAG participant allowed her to bring non-resident family members into her household (including but not limited to her own children), then overall household size may have been expected to increase as a result of the program.

Cost Effectiveness Although the first task of any evaluation is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention – that is, whether or not the program actually has a measurable and attributable impact – this is not enough to recommend the program to policymakers. This requires also that the program can show that it is worth spending scarce public resources to do it. Ideally, a program worth doing will be both effective and cost- effective. One can measure cost-effectiveness in terms of the number of physical outputs produced or outcomes achieved, e. g. the number of people employed per dollar spent, or one can measure achievements in terms of the value of the benefits acquired relative to the amount of money spent.

Robustness Checks 6. 1. Sample attrition Many challenges were encountered during survey implementation, due to the context – the densely populated and impoverished communities in and around Monrovia are difficult settings in which to find and track respondents — as well as the transience of a young study population. Despite vigorous efforts to track and interview each individual in the sample, a certain amount of survey attrition was expected. As the survey response rates in Table 1 show, 1622 (or 80 %) of the individuals in the study sample were successfully interviewed in both the baseline and midline surveys. Another 305 respondents were interviewed at baseline but not at midline and hence are not in the panel used for the analysis in this paper. 27 This survey attrition, while not much higher than other program evaluations in Africa, may cause concern that the results of this evaluation are biased, especially if the loss to follow up is correlated with individual characteristics that might affect the outcomes. To address this concern, Table 10 presents regressions on the likelihood of panel inclusion, that is, the likelihood of being interviewed at both baseline and midline. The first column indicates that treated individuals are significantly more likely than control to have been interviewed twice. This result persists even after controlling for individual characteristics and community dummies.

To further investigate whether these characteristics lead to differential attrition between the treatment and control groups, we interact treatment with particular characteristics at baseline. Columns 5 and 6 show that, conditional on being in the control group, the most likely predictor of attrition is having a child. By itself, being a mother does not predict attrition, but when interacted with treatment, we see that control group mothers are more likely to have dropped out of the panel than their treated counterparts. Employment at baseline, while positively correlated with attrition, does not differentially affect treated and untreated individuals. Because the differential attrition between treatment and control groups may bias our results, we use Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) as outlined in Wooldridge (2002) to adjust the estimates of our key outcomes, using the inverse probability of inclusion in the panel as a probability weight. As a first step, we use the probit model in Column (6) of Table 10 to regress the likelihood of being observed twice on baseline individual characteristics, including those likely to affect attrition, such as employment and parental status. In the second step, we use the inverse of the predicted values from that probit model as probability weights to redo the difference-in-difference regressions for our key outcomes of interest. This method gives more weight to the individuals with the highest chance of attrition, giving them more influence on the estimate of the impact than those with a low probability of attrition. The results are reported in Table 11. The results show a high degree of similarity between the original (unadjusted) and the adjusted estimates. Across all outcomes, the point estimates and standard errors vary only slightly. 27 Of these 305 cases, nine are dropped from the attrition analysis because the household head was not interviewed at baseline, hence the household level control variables are not available. 23 Usage context: primary mention, supporting mention, background mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "The EPAG program, which delivered six months of classroom-based skills training followed by six months of job placement support for either self or wage employment, led to a 47 % increase in employment and 80 % growth in earnings, relative to a randomly selected control group of non-participants.

These impacts vary somewhat but remain consistently positive and significant across almost all communities, educational backgrounds, and wealth levels. The highest impacts were obtained for those in the middle of the wealth distribution, and for girls with higher educational levels, which is consistent with the program ’ s initial screening for young women with basic literacy who would be able to make use of a classroom-based skills course.

There was a weak reduction in the likelihood of having any children, and a stronger increase in the likelihood of being pregnant, even after excluding those who were pregnant at baseline.

The fact that three sources use different definitions of madrassa enrollment, and were collected at different times by individuals with very different institutional affiliations provides independent verification of enrollment estimates and allows us to determine the sensitivity of our results. The household data tell us whether a child is enrolled full-time in a madrassa, but not whether a child goes for an hour on any given day to study the Quran. Therefore this data does not confound full-time with part-time attendees — a child who attends a public school during the day and a madrassa in the evening is recorded as enrolled in a public school. This is an important distinction since parents might use a modicum of madrassa or mosque based education to teach their children about religion. Consequently, if we contrast these household-based numbers with numbers from establishment-based reports, discrepancies can arise.

To put this number in context, total primary enrollment (grades 1-5) in public and private schools stood at 17. 4 million in 2003 (Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Finance, 2003). The choice of madrassa schooling viewed as either the percentage of eligible children or the percentage of enrolled children, is statistically insignificant for the average Pakistani household. Enrollment in madrassas accounts for approximately 0. 3 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 19.

Finally, while the census of populations does not face the problem of small samples, it is not that recent (1998) and some may have reservations regarding the quality of government data. 10 The LEAPS census of schooling choice conducted in 2003 provides a rough check on these numbers (see appendix for details). This census was conducted in three districts of Punjab and villages were chosen randomly based on the criterion that each village must have at least one private school. Typically, this means that the villages lies somewhere between fully urban and fully rural populations and are not representative of the districts that they are in.

There are three potential explanations for this difference. First, the LEAPS data is not representative of the district and could be off the mark for districts with wide variation in madrassa enrollment across rural and urban samples. Second, the experience of the last five years could have varied dramatically across districts — in some, the enrollment fractions did not change and in others it increased substantially. Third, the data could point to systematic problems with the census estimates from certain districts, or the statistical problems that arise when we try to estimate low-probability events. 3. 3 Explaining the Differences A number of reasons could account for differences between the estimates presented here and those in the popular press. 1. Differences in the sampling unit. Our estimates are all based on household surveys — an interviewer goes to a household and asks about the enrollment status of every child.

These data largely focus on the scale and trends in conflict-induced displacement (i. e. the numbers of forced displaced) with some coverage of other elements such as demographics, location and accommodation. Globally, there has been an unprecedented increase in the numbers of displaced people over the last decade, largely explained by the expansion in the number of reported IDPs. Historical data show a substantial increase in the numbers of forced displaced (see Figure 3), however the expanding geographical scope and quality of displacement monitoring systems are likely to account for much of the increase in forced displacement figures. The numbers of refugees under UNHCR ’ s mandate have recorded a number of variations over time, peaking in the early 1990s (at a level 10 percent over 2015 numbers) with the conflict and displacement associated with the end of the Cold War. The number of Palestinian refugees steadily has increased steadily over time, largely as a result of natural growth.

Population movement tracking systems In situations where the movement of displaced populations is fluid or continuous, a movement tracking system can be a useful tool for providing rough estimates of population flows, including recurrent displacements. Movement tracking systems are useful for monitoring fluid population movements (including spontaneous and organized, internal and cross-border, and returns and resettlement) in remote or inaccessible routes and locations (including displacement sites, places of origin, and places of return and resettlement).

For examples, UNHCR ’ s population tracking systems identifies and trains local NGOs to monitor key locations such as IDP settlements, bus stations and roads to report on movements. The accuracy of data from movement tracking systems is subject to several caveats. These include: limited access to locations and routes due to insecurity; vast geographical areas to monitor; mixed population flows that include refugees, IDPs, pastoral and seasonal movements and economic migrants; massive population flows that overwhelm monitoring capacity; disinclination of individuals to provide information when there is no assistance being offered; pressures from communities to inflate figures to maximize future assistance; and political pressures to suppress accurate reporting on IDP movements. Additionally, due to the fluid nature of displacement in many contexts and the likelihood of recurring displacements, it is not possible to use movement data to provide estimates of population stocks. Population censuses National population and housing censuses often provide the most comprehensive source of population data and offer the potential for estimating numbers of forcibly displaced people. To estimate the size of displaced populations a census would need to include questions on country (and / or place) or birth, year of (internal) 70 Other data collection methods may be used such as movement tracking systems, registration, big data etc. Usage context: supporting mention, background mention, primary mention.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "prwp"} -{"input": "migration, and reason for movement including asylum / refugee protection (or conflict-induced internal migration) (UNHCR 2016), or a specific question to identify IDPs or refugees.

There are several drawbacks of population censuses including their cost, the significant training required for enumerators to ensure consistent answers to questions on forced displacement, impediments to field operations and data processing (such as weather conditions and technical problems), the relative infrequency with which they are carried out, and the long processing time before data and statistics become available, which have consequences for the timeliness of data.

Sample surveys Sample surveys can potentially provide a rich source of data on forcibly displaced populations. Compared with censuses and registers, sample surveys allow more detailed questions to be asked about the characteristics and situations of households. If survey instruments identify displaced populations based on individuals ’ and households ’ self-reported migration history (including patterns and causes) they can enable the disaggregation of detailed data by displacement status (UNSD 2014).

Additional problems associated with the collection of data on border crossings include: (a) difficulties distinguishing migrants from other people crossing a border, such as tourists, commuters, traders and truck drivers; (b) lack of capacity of many border posts and officials to handle large migration flows; (c) less scrutiny and diligence of emigration flows compared with immigration flow; and (d) lack of tight controls at most borders and the high incidence of undocumented or irregular crossings (UNSD 2014).

Options to improve forced displacement statistics Significant efforts are needed to enhance the reliability, comparability, quality and scope of the global data on forced displacement. In particular, more robust estimates are needed of the scale (stocks, flows and locations) and typology (demographics, location and accommodation) of forced displacement crises.

(b) The use of mobile phones to conduct surveys or follow up interviews following face-to-face household surveys. For example, a Bank paper on the impact of the 2012 crisis in Mali on IDPs, refugees and returnees used information from a face-to-face household survey as well as follow-up interviews with its respondents via mobile phones. This combination provided a mechanism to monitor the impact of conflict on hard-to-reach populations who at times live in areas inaccessible to enumerators. And in Sierra Leone and Liberia, the Bank supported the use of mobile phones to collect key socio-economic data on the effects of the Ebola virus. (c) Crowdsourcing data on displacement. Platforms such as the Kenyan Ushahidi has crowd- sourced data on displacement in Kenya and eastern DRC by encouraging IDPs and host communities to report incidents using their mobile phones or the internet, including information about living conditions. The platform references these reports geo-spatially. (d) Geo-mapping of data on displaced populations and affected host communities.

According to the Barro and Lee educational attainment dataset, seven out of the top 20 countries in terms of increase in number of years of schooling from 1980 to 2010 were Arab countries (Barro and Lee 2013). 1 Jordan, the subject of this paper, had the seventh highest increase in educational attainment in the world, with an increase of about five years in the average years of schooling over the period. This increase is widely believed to be attributable to a massive public investment in the supply of schooling in the postindependence period in the context of a state-led development model, which virtually guaranteed employment in the public sector for graduates (Assaad 2014; Saleh 2016). The rapid increase in educational attainment has continued unabated despite the fall in returns to education that accompanied the demise in the state-led model and its employment guarantee schemes (Pritchett 2001). A slew of recent literature on the drivers of the Arab Spring protests, some of which occurred in Jordan, has identified the low economic returns to this massive increase in education as the single most important cause of the uprisings (Goldstone 2011; Campante and Chor 2012a, 2012b, 2014; Sanborn and Thyne 2014).

The school census provides the subdistrict, type, and date of establishment of every school in Jordan, allowing us to measure the local supply of each type of schools in each subdistrict in every year (under the presumption that there were no significant school closures or changes in type over time, which is likely the case).

This survey did not collect information on individuals who were never displaced. The attrition rate was very low, always around 1-2 % per wave. We need to stress that the locations were not randomly selected. Bamako was selected because it hosted a large number of IDPs. Furthermore, the main cities in the north of Mali were chosen to obtain a large sample of returnees given the funds available.

In particular, for 12 consecutive waves, refugees and IDPs were asked whether they were considering going back to Northern Mali in the subsequent month. We tried to test how employment, security and expectations affect these decisions. We did so by estimating a fixed-effect linear probability model (LPM). The estimated coefficients are shown in Table 6. Columns 1 and 2 have been estimated using the whole sample, while only respondents who were the household heads or the spouses were included in the regressions presented in Columns 3 and 4. The main conclusion is that being employed reduces the intention to go back to the regions in Northern Mali by around 8 percentage points. This result persists across all specifications, even when we control for immigration status, i. e., whether the individual is a refugee or an IDP. Indeed, refugees are more likely to be willing to go back. Estimating the same model for refugees and IDPs separately does not change our conclusions. In line with the previous findings, whether an individual felt safe during the day (or at night) did not affect the likelihood of planning to go back.

In addition to this, it is quite surprising that, if the respondent thought that the Northern Mali crisis was improving, he or she was less likely to plan a return to that area. From a technical point of view, we should point out that we have used an LPM even if the dependent variable was a binary outcome. This choice has been made since in this linear model it is straightforward to add fixed-effects. Furthermore, the coefficients can be interpreted as average partial effects. A simple logit or probit model would not have allowed the inclusion of individual fixed-effects because of the incidental parameter problem. An alternative approach would have been to estimate a conditional logit model. However, since the distribution of the fixed effects is unknown, it would not have been possible to estimate the average partial effects in this model, but only the effect of the regressors on the log-odds ratio. 13 We conclude by stressing that the monthly phone interviews were relatively short, so we did not have a rich panel data set. This may have led to omitted variable biases. Indeed, there may still be time varying factors which could have affected both the probability of being employed and the respondents ’ intentions to go back.

INTRODUCTION Refugees pose a massive moral, political and economic challenge for potential host countries. 1 The scale of the challenge is larger than ever, with 60 million people forcibly displaced by conflicts across the world (UNHCR, 2014). War in Syria has produced more refugees than any other conflict of the past two decades: around 4. 6 million have fled the country, with an additional 7. 6 million internally displaced. 2 About 2. 5 million Syrians have found refuge in Turkey, making it the largest refugee-hosting country worldwide. This paper combines newly available data on the distribution of Syrian refugees across Turkey and the Turkish Labour Force Survey to assess the impact on Turkish employment and wages. The large majority (85 percent) of Syrians have left the refugee camps and entered the Turkish labor market. 3 They are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits. This makes their arrival a well-defined supply shock to informal labor, and a particularly good context in which to test the predictions of basic economic theory. We instrument for refugee flows using travel distance between 13 origin governorates in Syria and 26 Turkish subregions (338 origin-destination pairs). This allows us to also control for distance from the Syrian border, and thus any confounding factors that are correlated with proximity to Syria.

There has been extensive humanitarian aid provided to the refugees, overwhelmingly by the Turkish government. Reportedly, by early 2015 the Turkish state had spent $ 6 billion (with total outside contributions $ 300 million). 15 Much of these funds have been spent on food, various services, non-food items such as medicines, clothing, shelter, and housing-related goods. In particular, there are 20 accommodation centers (camps) in 10 cities in Turkey. 2. 2 Data Sources We use the Turkish Household Labor Force Survey (LFS) micro-level data sets compiled and published by the Turkish Statistical Institute. The data contains a rich set of labor market variables along with individual-level characteristics and the region of residence. We primarily rely on two years of LFS data: 2011 (just before the arrival of the refugees) and 2014 (the last year available). 16 By design the LFS does not contain any information on Syrian refugees.

Figure 2, using data from AFAD (2013), provides an overview of the Syrian governorates from which the refugees to Turkey originated. The refugees primarily come from northwest Syria. The largest source regions are Aleppo (36 percent), Idleb (21 percent) al-Raqqah (11 percent), Lattakia (9 percent), and Hamah (8 percent). Consistent with travel distance being a good predictor of refugee flows to Turkey, 80 percent of respondents report that they chose to flee to Turkey, instead of another country, due to the ease of transportation. The refugees in Turkey, unlike the later 2015 refugee flows to Western Europe, are nearly 50 percent female. Slightly over 50 percent are minors (under the age of 18).

Despite the improved measures of refugee numbers in Turkey by subregion starting in 2014, there is likely considerable measurement error, resulting in attenuation bias in the OLS estimates. For the IV estimates to be consistent, it is only necessary that- conditional on the fixed effects and control variables- the flows of Syrian refugees are uncorrelated with the instrument. 25 Using data from AFAD (2013) we can also weight the aggregate refugee numbers using the Syrian source governorates of refugees in 2012-13 (see Figure 2).

PLACEBO TESTS AND ROBUSTNESS CHECKS 5. 1 Placebo Tests The key threat to the validity of our instrument is that there are subregion specific economic trends that are correlated with the instrument, and not fully controlled for by the inclusion of the log distance of a Turkish subregion from the Syrian border. A priori this seems unlikely since the instrument is also based on travel distances, but we can test for the existence of such trends in a pre-period. Specifically, we run regressions that are analogous to those reported in Tables 5, 6 and 7 using data from the LFS 2009 and 2011. As a placebo test we pretend that the Syrian refugees had arrived between 2009 and 2011, rather than between 2011 and 2014, to see if the instrument is correlated with Turkish outcomes in this pre-period.

However, once we control for the log distance for the Syria border there is no longer a statistically significant relationship, in either the OLS or IV, between school attendance rates in 2011 and subsequent refugee flows.

However, the results are robust to varying the particular sample of subregions. We report results for two alternative samples. First, we drop the Gaziantep subregion from the estimation. Gaziantep has the highest refugee to population ratio among all regions and reportedly towns with a refugee share of over 30 percent. The inclusion of Gaziantep may skew results if there are any non-linearities in the impact of refugees. Second, we follow Ceritoglu et al. (2015) in only considering nine subregions of Turkey.

CONCLUSIONS This paper combines newly available data on the 2014 distribution of 1. 6 million Syrian refugees across subregions of Turkey and the Turkish LFS, to assess the impact on Turkish labor market conditions. The Syrian refugees in Turkey are overwhelmingly employed informally, since they were not issued work permits, and so their arrival was a well-defined supply shock to informal labor. Consistent with economic theory our IV estimates, which also control for distance from the Turkish-Syrian border, suggest large-scale displacement of natives in the informal sector. At the same time, consistent with occupational upgrading, there are increases in formal employment for the Turkish. This increase though only occurs among men without completed high school education. The employment patterns of women and the high-skilled mean they are not in a good position to take advantage of lower cost 36 Results are also robust to dropping all subregions with close to no refugees.

The international community has recognized this challenge, adopting social cohesion as a core objective and tool of peacebuilding (UNDP 2020, UNICEF 2021). Forced displacement creates major disruption to social dynamics among both displaced persons and host communities. The influx of displaced people has the potential to put strain on the host community by creating inequalities in access to services, resources, and income. At the same time, social cohesion can facilitate collective action for example by allowing pop- ulations to preemptively evacuate and escape (Arnon, McAlexander & Rubin 2021). High levels of social cohesion can improve outcomes after traumatic events either providing individual or so- cial assets, such as resilience (¨ Ozc ¸ ¨ ur ¨ umez, Hoxha & ˙ Ic ¸ duygu 2020) or mental stability (Greene, Paranjothy & Palmer 2015). But understanding what dimensions of social cohesion are especially salient – and how those dimensions are related to changing dynamics such as forced displacement – requires understanding how communities perceive what constitutes social cohesion in their lived experiences.

But the salience of different elements of social cohesion may be contextually driven and differ across several dimensions, such as the type of forced displacement experienced locally (IDP versus refugee, for example) 1 and local 1We employ the following definitions for different types of displacement to ensure analytical consistency: refugees are “ someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. ” Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are “ someone who has been forced to flee their home but never cross an international border. ” Returnees are “ someone who was of concern to UNHCR when outside their country of origin and who remains so for a limited period (usually two years) after returning home to their country of origin.

It is commonly accepted that displacement negatively affects social cohesion, and that forced displacement occurs in contexts with low levels of social cohesion to begin with. Protracted displacement can lead to political tensions, as associations are formed along ethnic or political lines and new grievances emerge. In contexts of internal displacement, ethnic and social tensions (which may have been the drivers or consequences of the displacement) are exacerbated by the presence of IDPs. For refugees, deeper social and cultural divides may exist, hindering social cohesion (De Berry & Roberts 2018). Indeed, in some situations, protracted displacement and expectations of retaliation on return create greater politicization of the displaced along ethnic lines (Harild, Vinck, Vedsted & de Berry 2013). More generally, economic competition, poor governance, lack of rule of law, and limited access to scarce resources are features of the living conditions for most IDPs and refugees and oftentimes the host population, further hindering social cohesion (Munoz & Shanks 2019).

Many are displaced multiple times in short bursts as the security situation in their com- munities fluctuates (Zeender & Rothing 2010). When fleeing violence, IDPs in DRC oftentimes attempt to stay close to their home communities so they can monitor their properties with the intention of returning once the security situation improves (White 2014). In areas near violence, host communities are frequently and repetitively asked to host IDPs: by one count, host families often host IDPs around three to four times, for around three months on average (Simpson 2010). Alternatively, many IDPs flee to urban areas, increasing slum areas in cities like Goma and Bukavu (Zeender & Rothing 2010).

Such dynamics may have fundamentally different implications for social cohesion and require different policy. 3 Defining Social Cohesion in Contexts of Forced Displacement Existing definitions of social cohesion motivate the participatory research strategies used define social cohesion in this project. Social cohesion is a conceptual construct for which there is no universally agreed upon measure. In a comprehensive study reviewing whether community driven development positively impacts social cohesion, (King, Samii & Snilstveit 2010) note that both the attitudinal and behavioral measures of social cohesion manifest in highly context specific ways, making it difficult to identify universal and cross-cutting measures of social cohesion. In general terms, social cohesion is defined as a set of societal characteristics or attributes that foster “ mutual moral support, which instead of throwing the individual on his own resources, leads him to share in the collective energy and supports his own when exhausted ” (Berkman, Kawachi & Glymour 2014).

The relevant set of relationships and institutions that matter to social cohesion vary according to context. Although some studies use social cohesion and social capital interchangeably, King, Samii & Snilstveit (2010) argue that social cohesion emphasizes the group and the patterns of cooperation rather than the assets that give rise to them. Yet the question remains as to whether there is a set of common thematic concepts that can be operationally measured.

To understand how dynamics such as displacement are related to social cohesion, it is crucial to first what elements of the social fabric are considered most salient by those who live in these communities. 3. 1 Towards a Locally-Led Definition of Social Cohesion: Focus Group Ev- idence To ensure that the conceptualization of social cohesion used in this paper is appropriately contex- tualized to local understanding, the project consulted with local communities using a sequential mixed method approach to produce a locally driven definition of social cohesion.

Together, the participants outlined three broad domains that can be subsequently divided into dimensions, sub-dimensions, and finally indicators. Some overlap between dimensions is unavoid- able because of the conceptual proximity of many of the topics discussed in the focus groups. As such, the three domains of social cohesion, as well as their respective dimensions and sub dimen- sions, are interrelated. These represent a subjective and synthesized conceptualization of social cohesion in eastern DRC according to Congolese participants.

Support did not give rise to many sub dimensions during the consultations, but scales can be developed to measure the attitudes and behavior of individuals in relation to quotidian solidarity. 3. 1. 3 Governance Finally, some participants (in Goma especially) noted the accountability of leaders to the popula- tion as a factor contributing to social cohesion. Elsewhere, participants discussed governance but in an indirect, and often negative, manner. The governance factor can be broken down into three dimensions.

As such, the evidence on the consequences of forced displacement for perceptions of local social cohesion is mixed. Existing findings are based on research conducted mainly in western Europe, particularly those that analyze large refugee flows from the Middle East and show that hosting refugees can negatively impact social cohesion. But other research demonstrates that, especially among those who are most directly exposed to displaced populations, hosting does not necessarily result in a backlash effect and may even be associated with limited economic benefits. 3. 2. 1 Fluid Displacement Flows and Perceptions of Social Cohesion In scenarios where displacement is more fluid, frequent, and informal amidst ongoing conflicts, host communities may have incentives and experiences that may differ in fundamental ways than in refugee contexts or more permanent displacement. These differences may result in unexpected relationships between hosting displaced populations and perceptions of social cohesion. Aggregate relationships between levels of displacement and social cohesion are likely influ- enced by the fact that areas that experience higher levels of forced displacement are precisely the areas that experience the most violence. As a result, aggregate displacement levels and perceptions of social cohesion are likely negatively related, but this is not necessarily a function of hosting displaced persons.

Given the lack of reliable census data and frequent population movements in eastern DRCongo, sampling and weighting procedures are necessarily conservative. All of the surveys randomly select groupements (or quartiers in cities) in each territoire. Within selected groupements, select villages are drawn (or avenues in cities), which are clusters per territoire. Enumerators carry out 8 interviews per cluster using a random walk procedure. Responses are weighted to adjust for differences in probability of selection at the territoire level and all samples are gender-balanced.

Table 3 summarizes the measurement strategies for hosting status. It is possible that respondents may misreport whether they are displaced or whether displaced people are present for a number of reasons. First, they might not know that displaced persons are present, a risk that is especially acute for IDPs. Because the paper is primarily interested in how knowledge of hosting impacts perceptions of social cohesion, this measurement challenge is not as acute a problem as it may at first seem. Respondents must know that IDPs or refugees are present in their community for hosting to impact their perceptions of social cohesion. If they are not aware of the presence of IDPs or refugees, their presence is unlikely to systematically impact their perceptions.

This data only records monthly gross arrivals so we do not know the outflows of Venezuelans to other locations within Peru or out of the country entirely. However, in ENPOVE, 84% of Venezuelan immigrants in Peru report having lived in the same district during their entire time since arriving in the country.

The situation requires an urgent and comprehensive response that \nhas as primary focus the protection of civilians including IDPs, refugees, and \nasylum seekers. \n■ The parties to the conflict should immediately comply with their obligations \nto protect civilians as prescribed by international humanitarian and human \nrights law, including by bringing an end to the conflict and by restoring peace \nand security across the country. \n■ Parties to the conflict are urged to ensure the commitment by all persons \nacting under their instructions, direction or control to abide by their core \nobligations under international human rights and humanitarian law. This \nincludes, inter-alia, upholding at all times the principle of proportionality and \ndistinction between military and civilian objects; refraining from attacks \nexpected to cause excessive civilian harm in relation to the military; allowing \ncivilians to voluntarily and safely leave areas of active conflict and \nguaranteeing the protection of those that may not be able to do so; facilitating \ncivilians’ access to humanitarian assistance and enabling unhindered access \nto humanitarian organisations. \n■ As stressed recently and jointly by all humanitarian actors operating in the \ncountry, there is an immediate need to put an end to all forms of gender-\nbased violence, including sexual violence being used in armed conflict as a \nweapon of war. Parties to the conflict are urged to immediately end rape and \nother forms of sexual violence and respect the integrity of women and girls. \nEqually, parties to the conflict must refrain from recruiting children and from \nexploiting the vulnerable conditions of those without parental care and \nsupport. \n■ There is an urgent need to scale up GBV prevention, mitigation and response \nservices within Sudan, for survivors of various forms of conflict-related GBV, \nincluding through the provision of specialized and survivor-centred support. \nThese efforts should also capitalize on the presence and strength of local \norganizations – including those led by women – who continue to \ncourageously provide frontline responses in the conflict affected areas. \n■ The protection of all children affected by the conflict remains a priority and \nneeds to be reinforced. Increased outreach to identify and support children \nat risk is required, also for sensitisation purposes on the presence of \nexplosive hazards. Strengthened family tracing and alternative care \narrangements are urgently needed, as well as investment in specialized \nservices for children at heightened protection risks, particularly survivors of \nviolence, children in need of alternative case and family tracing/reunification", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "PROTECTION BRIEF > SUDAN (JULY 2023)\nUNHCR \n14 \nReinforcement of interventions and services to address the critical mental \nhealth and psychosocial distress of children and caregivers, including \nthrough community-based support mechanisms, is also required. \n■ UNHCR continues to appreciate the efforts made by the Government of \nSudan to facilitate the upscaling of humanitarian response in areas not \naffected by the conflict, including refugee-hosting areas in the Southern and \nEastern parts of the country.

It has since been\nwidely diffused in both political and academic circles (Castles 2002). This growing\nconcern of the international community about the consequences of migration resulting\nfrom environmental deterioration was reinforced in 1990 by the publication of the\nfirst UN intergovernmental report on climate change which stated that \"The gravest\neffects of climate change may be those on human migration as millions will be\ndisplaced\" (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 1990, 20).\n\nIn 1993, the prediction that there would be 150 million environmental refugees by the\nend of the 21st century, as forecast by Norman Myers, further fuelled the fear of mass\nmigrations (Myers 2003). In the review \"Population and Environment\" this respected\nenvironmentalist wrote, four years later, \" the issue of environmental refugees (...)\npromises to rank as one of the foremost human crises of our times\" (Myers 1997, p.\n175).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Filmmaker Roland Emmerich dramatized this fear in 2004, in a scene from the film\n\"The Day After Tomorrow\" where American citizens flee en masse from lightning\nand a terrible climatic disturbance from the north only to find themselves – and here is\nthe irony – running up against the fences of the American-Mexican frontier. Today,\nfor the Israeli geographer Nurit Kliot, who has led a synthetic overview on the\nsubject, \"the fear of mass migration of environmental refugees has become a major\nissue in the international community\" (Kliot 2004, 69).\n\nWith the increasing certainty of global warming, the more precise term of \"climate\nrefugee\" has been swiftly diffused in public discourse. This is exemplified by the\n\"Citizen's guide to climate refugees\" found on the website of the Australian NGO,\nFriends of the Earth (Friends of the Earth Australia 2007).

The use by numerous authors of the term \" refugee \" has also led to certain\nconfusion because it evokes the juridical status recognized by UN Convention of 1951\nreferring to any person having a \"well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of\nrace, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political\nopinion\".

We will then propose a\ndefinition of population movements induced by environmental factors, before\nconcentrating on climate aspects by providing a synthesis of results put forward by\nresearchers. Finally, we will examine forecasts for future developments.\n\n**A neglected topic**\n\nFor many years, population geography has, of course, acknowledged the role played\nby environmental factors in explaining the history of population and the emergence of\ncities. Thus, for mankind, the passage across the Bering Straits from America 13,000\nyears ago was possible due to the low sea levels of the ice Age, while the Medieval\nClimate Optimum which lasted between 8th and 13th centuries AD seems to have\nstimulated the population of Polynesia by making navigation relatively easy thanks to\nregular winds and clear skies (Perch-Nielsen 2004, 39).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Paradoxically, it also appears that the desertification of the Sahara and the Arabian\npeninsula has played an important part in the densification of the population on the\nbanks of the Nile, and has consequently contributed to the birth of ancient Egyptian\ncivilization (Hammer 2004, 238). Fifty years ago, the strong link between\npluviometry and population density has been shown, for example, in the American\nGreat Plains (Robinson, Lindbergh, and Brinkman 1961).\n\nWith industrialization, however, the importance of the role given by population\ngeographers to the environment declined progressively. Already at the end of the 19th\ncentury, the famous \"migration laws\" of E. G. Ravenstein held that economic factors\nwere of prime importance. Their pre-eminence was almost exclusive in the\ntheorization of migration flows during the second half of the 20th century (Massey\nand al. 1993).\n\nWhile certain environmental characteristics of areas studied were taken into\nconsideration, generally only the positive factors received any serious attention.\nGreenwood (1969) highlights in this respect the favourable effect of high average\ntemperatures on internal migration on the US mainland, while Graves measures the\neffect of climate mildness in general on migration (1980).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Up until recently, the environment, especially when considered as a negative factor\ninducing forced displacements, has been absent from the study of migrations on\naccount of the dominance of what we can call an \" Economic Paradigm \". One can\nadd that migrations linked to the environment are frequently internal and affect\nSouthern countries. It is noteworthy that these two aspects of migration have been\nneglected by researchers to the advantage of studies in international and North-South\nmigrations.\n\nA similar result stems from the \" Political Paradigm \" that characterizes the specific\nstudy of refugees ( _Refugee studies_ ).

Rightly highlighting the shaky empirical character and sloppy\nnature of most work on the subject, they have brought to the fore problems arising\nfrom a unidirectional link between environmental changes and migrations in the face\nof well-established results from research on population flows. For Castles, \"the term\nenvironmental refugee is simplistic, one-sided and misleading. It implies a\nmonocausality which very rarely exists in practice (…) [Environmental and natural\nfactors] are part of a complex pattern of multiple causality, in which [they] are closely\nlinked to economic, social and political ones.\" (Castles 2002, 5).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["surveys of refugee studies"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Numerous works confirm this: when environmental deteriorations cause\ndisplacements, they are often the by-product of economic, demographic or political\nfactors (Hugo 1996). Moreover, vicious circle phenomena are very frequent and it is\nnot easy to isolate primary causes. Hence, population displacements will induce\nenvironmental problems that will have an effect on conflicts which themselves risk to\nexacerbate environmental deterioration (Hagmann 2005).\n\nThere is agreement today that natural factors are not the sole cause of migration and\nthat the economic, social and political situation of the zone under threat can,\ndepending on the case, increase or decrease the flow of migrants.

B. Spiegel & P. V. Le\n\nIntroduction\n\nThe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) behavioural surveillance surveys\n(BSSs), an evolution from the knowledge-attitudes-practice surveys (KAPs), are\nan assessment, monitoring and evaluation tool designed to track trends in HIV/\nAIDS knowledge, attitudes and risk behaviour among populations. When used\ntogether with qualitative and quantitative research and proper measurement of\nappropriate programme indicators, the data collected from BSSs can assist\norganizations in targeting specific HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities,\nallocating scarce resources, and monitoring and evaluating the interventions’\neffectiveness and coverage. BSSs are useful because they alert policy makers and\nprogramme managers to emerging or changing risks in existing behaviour, reveal\ngaps in knowledge and attitudes, help to identify vulnerable segments of\npopulations, contribute to improved programme content, provide data on specific\ntarget groups and ensure compatibility and standardization of data collection\n(Family Health International 2000).\nThe core BSS indicators have been evolving over time (Table I). Until the\nUnited Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS)\nindicators were developed in 2002, there were no internationally-accepted HIV\nindicators. The UNGASS indicators were followed by the development of the\nMillennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators in 2003 and, subsequently,\nthe US President’s Emergency Preparedness Fund on AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)\nindicators in 2004. Although all of these indicators are similar to one another,\nthere are minor differences. Thus, it is difficult for persons implementing BSSs to\nchoose which indicators to use and complicated for others to compare studies\nwhich use different indicators. Furthermore, there are numerous other indicators\nthat can be used in BSSs depending upon the target groups and objectives of the\nsurvey.\nConflict, displacement, food insecurity and poverty have the potential to make\naffected populations more vulnerable to HIV transmission. The UNGASS\nDeclaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, states that ‘populations destabilised\nby armed conflict . . . including refugees, internally displaced persons, and in\nparticular women and children, are at increased risk of exposure to HIV infection’\n(United Nations General Assembly 2001). However, the common assumption\nthat this vulnerability necessarily translates into increased HIV infections and\nconsequently fuels the epidemic is not supported by data (Spiegel 2004). In the\nrecent past, HIV/AIDS interventions were generally not included by humanitarian organizations as part of their immediate response to conflict; HIV/AIDS was\nconsidered more of a developmental issue and not an immediate life threatening\ndisease such as malaria or cholera. However, thinking has evolved and it is now\ngenerally accepted that HIV/AIDS programmes must begin at the onset of a\nhumanitarian emergency, be multisectoral, and continue at every stage thereafter\n(Inter-Agency Standing Committee 2003). Furthermore, for refugees and\ninternally displaced persons (IDPs), HIV/AIDS programmes should be integrated", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["knowledge-attitudes-practice surveys (KAPs)", "Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "HIV behavioural surveillance surveys 149\n\nTable I.

Other important methodological issues,\nsuch as households or persons who were absent or refused to participate, as well\nas whether replacement of such households or persons occurred, were not stated\nin most of the reports. Sample sizes had a wide range and some may have been of\ninsufficient size to be precise enough to interpret results or make meaningful\ncomparisons with future surveys. The majority of questionnaires were not field\ntested or back-translated nor were qualitative methods used to complement the\nquantitative methodology used in many of these surveys. Only a minority of\nsurveys obtained informed consent from participants. Few provided definitions\nof essential terms, such as high risk sex or non-regular partners. Although most\nof the surveys included training of surveyors, few reported gender balance of\ninterviewers. All of the above methodological flaws inject sufficient biases into\nthese surveys to make the most of them unacceptable.\nThe majority of the written reports lacked sufficient detail and structure to be\nanalysed and interpreted by the reader in a meaningful way. Most reports\nprovided objectives for the survey as well as conclusions and recommendations.\nHowever, few stated limitations and biases and only half appended the\nquestionnaire to the report. Important methodological details were missing in\nmany surveys, including information on how the sample size was chosen, the\nspecifics of the sampling methodology and whether replacement was used. Most\nof the analyses were descriptive in nature with few reports using comparative\nstatistics. The majority of reports used some variation of the internationallyaccepted HIV indicators for knowledge (e.g. prevention and misconceptions) but\nonly a minority used some variation of these indicators for practice and attitudes.\nThe disaggregation by age or gender varied considerably among reports which led\nto difficulties in comparing results; furthermore, few studies reported indicators\naccording to both gender and age.\nThere are limitations to this article. Despite an attempt to search as widely as\npossible in the published and grey literature, as well as to contact organizations\nknown to undertake BSSs in conflict and post conflict settings, some surveys will\nhave been missed. In addition, those included are not just BSSs but reproductive\nhealth KAP surveys with an HIV component. The latter may not contain as much\ndetail on HIV as BSSs, however, this would neither affect the basic methodological weaknesses nor the absence of key internationally-accepted standardized\nHIV indicators. Some of the BSSs examined in this report were conducted before\n2002 when the internationally accepted UNGASS indicators were developed; this\ntogether with the changing of indicators over time makes it difficult to interpret\nthe usage of internationally-accepted indicators. Misclassification may have\noccurred because results were based on findings written in the reports reviewed.\nFor those reports that omitted key methodological issues or results, the data were\nrecorded in a negative fashion (e.g. if type of sampling was not mentioned, the\nsurvey was recorded as not employing random sampling).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["internationally accepted UNGASS indicators"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "HIV behavioural surveillance surveys 155\n\nBSSs are expensive and time consuming. In conflict and post-conflict settings,\nthe costs of BSSs vary according to population and geographic size, but generally\ncost at least US$50,000 for a typical refugee camp when conducted by qualified\nspecialists (source: UNHCR based on 11 BSSs in five countries from 2004 to\n2005). Anecdotally, some organizations having insufficient funding undertook\nsurveys on their own or with inexperienced consultants; these surveys often had\npoor results. Therefore, adequate funding is needed before such surveys are\nundertaken.\nBSSs collect crucial HIV/AIDS data to inform local and national interventions\nas well as for programme monitoring and evaluation, and for the allocation of\nscarce resources. Scientifically sound and reproducible studies with structured\nand detailed reports are needed. Our results showed that organizations that are\nspecifically trained and have extensive experience in doing these surveys, such as\nCDC, undertook surveys and produced reports that were superior to those of\nNGOs. As was previously recommended for nutrition surveys in humanitarian\nemergencies, NGOs, governments, and UN agencies interested in undertaking\nBSSs in conflict and post-conflict settings must ensure that the process is\ndeveloped and directed by qualified and experienced experts (Spiegel et al.\n2004). This may require hiring organizations that specialize in undertaking such\nsurveys. The decision to undertake such surveys should be made in a coordinated\nfashion with all relevant organizations, governments and affected populations.\nPersons writing such proposals should be aware of the financial, time and\nlogistical constraints in correctly undertaking BSSs. Donors should only fund\nrealistic and technically sound proposals. Systematic training and ongoing\nadvocacy on these issues among NGOs, UN agencies, governments and donors\nis needed. An inventory of international experts that can assist in planning and\nundertaking field missions should be developed.\nUnlike nutrition surveys in humanitarian settings (Spiegel et al. 2004), there is\ncurrently no standard questionnaire, methodology nor practical manual on how\nto undertake BSSs in conflict and post-conflict settings. Many BSSs are\nundertaken on a nationwide scale with large samples that require significant\ntechnical expertise and resources (e.g. demographic and health surveys with an\nHIV component). The FHI BSS guidelines for repeated behavioural surveys in\npopulations at risk of HIV (Family Health International 2000) are often used as\nthe standard manual for undertaking BSSs. However, this 350 page manual\ndescribes how BSSs can be undertaken in numerous different situations and is not\ndesigned to be a ‘how to manual’ such as those designed for nutrition surveys in\nhumanitarian emergencies (Me´decins Sans Frontie´res 1995, Save the Children\n2004). Furthermore, conflict and post-conflict situations are unique and require\ndifferent information from other populations (Spiegel 2004, UNHCR 2005).\nThese include questions on displacement and interaction with surrounding host\npopulations as well as sensitive questions on sexual exploitation and violence.\nRecognizing this need, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in\ncollaboration with the World Bank, UNAIDS and the Great Lakes Initiative on", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["demographic and health surveys with an\nHIV component"], "vague_data": ["HIV behavioural surveillance surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "156 P.

Refugees were placed in gazetted areas in close proximity\nto the local populations such as in the settlements of Nakivale, Oruchinga, Kyaka 1\nand II in Southwestern Uganda; Rhino Camp, Imvepi and Ikafe in the West Nile\nregion; Achol Pii, Parolinya and Adjumani settlements in Northern Uganda; and\nKiryandongo and Kyangwali settlements in Central Uganda.\n\nOn the whole, placement in rural settlements was based on an assumption that the\nrefugee problem was temporal and would end as soon as the circumstances that led to\ntheir flight had ceased (Pincwya, 1998:8-25).

The impact of land conflicts on refugee\nwomen’s livelihoods has to be situated in the larger context of land problems in Sub\nSaharan Africa.\n\nThese include but are not limited to growing land concentration and scarcity;\ncompetition over land use and environmental and land degradation. Other problems\ninclude corruption in land markets, indeterminate boundaries of customarily held\nlands, a weak land administration system, and a lack of equity in land systems\n(Tshikaka, 2004). Women’s interests in land were eroded by colonial policies and\nagrarian change that never addressed the core issues of gendered accessibility and\nequity.

According to the World Bank (2003),\ngender inequalities tend to lower productivity and intensify unequal distribution of\nresources. They also contribute to non-monetary aspects of poverty, such as lack of\nsecurity, opportunity and empowerment, which lower the quality of life for both men\nand women (Ibid.; Tinker 1990). Whereas refugee women and girls face the brunt of\nthese factors, protection and assistance has largely focused on men. This resonates\nthrough almost all refugee policies and practices, which focus on men as household\nheads (Kalyango, forthcoming).\n\nRefugee women have complained against the status quo because it discriminates them\nin asylum claims, acquisition of identity documents and food ration cards, limits their\nfreedom of movement and makes them dependent on men (UNHCR 2001). Despite\nseveral attempts to address this anomaly, such as in the Convention for the\nElimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and in the\nUNHCR guidelines for refugee women and for Sex and Gender Based Violence, wide\ngender disparities between women and men in refugee situations remain common\n(UNHCR, 2000; 2003; UNIFEM, 2003; ).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "The overall objective of the study was to establish the gendered impact of land\nconflicts on livelihoods of refugee women.

Differences are embedded in social relations and therefore\ndiffer between cultures; they are constituted through and also help to constitute the\nexercise of other forms of social difference such as those of age, race or class (Kabeer,\n1994).\n\nIn identifying the gender impacts of the land conflicts, analysis was based on the\nconcepts of identity and agency. Identity concerns the social process whereby\nindividuals come to identify themselves with a particular configuration of social roles\nand relationships and agency describes the strategies used by individuals to create a\nviable and satisfying life for themselves in the context of or in spite of these identities\n(El Bushra, 2000).

Land tenure is the mode of land holding, together\nwith terms and conditions of occupancy. It is about ‘the bundle of rights’ held and\nenjoyed in the land resource. The relative degree to which individuals can profit from\nland resources is influenced by three factors: utilisation, duration of occupancy and\nrelocation rights (Nuwagaba et al, 2002). It is important to note that ambiguities exist\nin land tenure systems in Uganda as a result of its colonial history.

At first, refugees were settled in sparsely\npopulated areas and enjoyed good relations with the host populations (Holborn,\n1975:1212). However, population increase and the advent of a cash economy\nincreased the value of land, leading to strained social relations between refugees and\nnationals (Kasfir, 1988:158). Moreover, refugees are regarded as non-citizens who\nshould not have any rights over land.\n\nLand conflicts between refugees and host population can be attributed to two main\nfactors, that is, exceeding of field or residential boundaries (encroachment) and\nacquisition by nationals (sometimes in the form of land loans). Land conflicts in the\nrefugee hosting areas are partly attributed to lack of clear refugee settlement\nboundaries (Mugerwa, 1992; Nuwagaba, 2002; Bagenda, 2003).

As a result there has been increased encroachment on refugee\nland by nationals, a practice exacerbated by weak administration systems. For\ninstance, some encroachers have even acquired land tittles on gazetted land, since the\nprocedure of acquiring a land title is very simple and open to abuse. All one needs is\nto fill out an application form from the district land board and take them to Local\nCouncil 1 (LC1) and have a ‘neighbour’ sign for confirmation.\n\nAfter the District Land Board has confirmed, land is surveyed and a land title issued.\nThe system has also been exploited by refugees, especially those of the 1959 caseload\nwho have acquired land tittles [4] on settlement land. For instance, there is a case of a\nRwandan refugee with a title for seven square kilometres of settlement land.\nInterestingly, it was also found out that the camp commandant of Nakivale refugee\nsettlement has had to appear in court on charges of distributing land to refugees in the\nsettlement [5] .\n\n---\n[4] Under the Ugandan law, refugees are not supposed to own land.\n[5] Interviews camp commandant Nakivale and Refugee Desk officer Mbarara, October 2004.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Furthermore, there have also been disagreements between Mbarara district\nadministration officials and the government over land in refugee settlements.

Introduction**\n\nThis report presents the Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) results for the winter cash assistance programs targeting\nSyrian refugees in Lebanon.\n\nDuring the 2020-2021 winter season, UNHCR assisted close to 200,000 Syrian refugee families. UNHCR aimed at\nsupporting vulnerable families who are faced with increased stress due to extreme weather conditions, coupled with\nalready limited resources. In the winter season of 2020/2021, families in Lebanon not only faced challenges of the\nwinter season but also additional challenges due to the deteriorating national economy and COVID19 pandemic.\nAdditionally, strains on the economy and the banking sector made the use of ATMs in the country more restricted.\nInflation and increased prices made it more difficult for families to meet their most basic needs.\n\nUNHCR provided assistance to refugees through an unconditional, unrestricted cash transfer as part of the winter\ncash assistance program (WinCAP). Previously conducted research has shown that refugee families in Lebanon have\nincreased expenditure during the winter months linked to additional needs. This is coupled with a decrease in the\navailability of income generating activities, which are usually more accessible in warmer months.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "Starting November 2020, and through the season, UNHCR provided a one-off cash payment of LBP 954,000 to\nrefugee families in an effort to help them meet the additional basic needs brought about by the winter season.\n\nThe cash transfer was redeemable through an ATM card from ATMs and/or through direct payment in shops equipped\nwith POS across the country in the local currency.\n\n### **III. Methodology**\n\nThere were 531 valid survey responses in this data collection exercise. A simple random sample was selected from the\nlist of beneficiaries who received winter cash assistance during the month of December 2020 representing all of\nLebanon. Data collection was administered by phone and took place between the 3rd and the 17th of February 2021.\nData collection occurred through trained partner staff by phone.\n\n### **IV.

Communities report they \nare willing and interested to set-up committee structures as they see value in a communal means to \ndiscuss and resolve community level issues as well as raise \nawareness on certain issues. In general, communities do not \nhave designated communal venues to hold meetings, rather \nthey utilize the homes of elders or schools, and have requested \nUNHCR to provide support in allocating a space for community \nactivities and meetings, such as a community center. \nIn Kheshgi Refugee Village (RV), reference was made to \ncommittees that were set-up in the past, but are no longer functioning, such as: grand shura committee, \nsocial welfare committee, child committee, youth committee, elder committee and health committee.

Female participation in community structures or committees is generally not allowed as \nculturally males have the decision making role in the family and \ncommunity. Similarly, it is culturally not widely accepted or \nallowed for children to be involved in the decision making \nprocess. Additionally, lack of culturally appropriate places for \nwomen to gather is a hindrance to participation as well as \ndifficulty for women to find time to meet due to their daily \nhousehold duties. \nOverall, value is not placed on involving women, children, \nPersons with Specific Needs (PWSN) or Persons with Disabilities (PWD) in community level decision \nmaking.

In some communities, there \nare traditional structures (shuras, jirgas) of influential Afghan elders and religious leaders for the \ncommunity to seek support and advice to resolve conflict. In these communities, the majority of \nrespondents view committees as effective conflict resolution mechanisms. In other communities, there is \nnot a traditional structure but elders are called upon to intervene \nas a last resort, if the conflict is not resolved within the family or \nthrough intervention of close relatives. When needed, local police \nor legal authorities may also be called upon. \nOf adult respondents, 89% view the traditional system of conflict \nresolution through local elders as fair and inclusive. The 11% of \nrespondents that reported the traditional system is not fair or \ninclusive was overwhelmingly female (83%). Some female \nrespondents noted that conflict resolution for issues related to domestic violence, abuse of women and \nchildren is generally not a fair process. Women usually keep their family conflict within the family for fear \nof shame or the cultural norm of not exposing family issues to the wider community. In some \ncircumstances, elderly females intervene to help resolve a situation that has resulted in conflict amongst \nwomen. It is noted that children and youth are not directly involved in the conflict resolution process. \nVolunteerism [Questions about the culture of volunteerism in the Afghan community, if persons are interested in volunteerism, and \nwhat can be done to encourage volunteerism in the community]. \nAfghan communities have a positive view and long tradition of supporting each other informally as part \nof their culture and tribal associations. The vast majority of respondents, 86%, reported that people in \ntheir community volunteer to solve problems in the community, such as elders and youth in the \ncommunity that are willing to support when there is a need. The \nmajority of community members voiced an interest, specifically \nmale and female youth, to volunteer in order to support their \ncommunity. Females shared concerns they may not be able to \nvolunteer due to mobility restrictions, unless they had support of a \nmale relative, and requested UNHCR to support in this regard. It \nwas also noted that persons who are employed will have less time \nto dedicate towards volunteering.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "The overwhelming positive response was surprising as prior efforts \nto encourage volunteerism have had mixed results in Pakistan, primarily due to expectation of some \nform of payment or recognition.

Women report that interactions during weddings, funerals or at water points, \nhas led to learning from one another and sharing of views. It is also common for Afghan women to work \nas house help for host community families. Generally, there is neighborly support and acceptance as well \nas cooperation to resolve common neighborhood issues such as repair of electricity, sanitation, streets, \netc. Positive examples of how the host community supports the refugee community include: lending \nmoney in cases of emergency, helping with admittance to schools and hospitals, and acting as guarantors \nor witnesses in court in cases of arrest.

However, women and children have \nlinks and interact with the host community during certain \noccasions such as funerals, wedding, sports and other social \nevents. Mosques and markets are common places for meeting \nand interaction. \nTheme 2: Positive Coping Mechanisms / Self-Reliance / Decision-Making \nCommunity Strengths [Questions about community strengths, community support mechanisms, community groups, associations]. \nUrban communities do not have organized community support mechanisms to take care of persons \nwithout familial support. On an ad-hoc basis, community members do support others in need by sharing \nfood, clothing or monetary support to vulnerable community members. The community generally \nbelieves that groups and associations can bring positive behavior change in the community, as they \nprovide opportunities for discussion of common issues which leads to information sharing and increased \nawareness. In some urban areas, youth have small sports groups and gatherings of friends. \nMore formal community groups or associations reportedly do not \nexist due to lack of communal meeting / recreational space and \nsupport from the community or NGOs. In one community (Taj \nAbad), an elder rented a house (2000 PKR per month) to provide \na place for male youth to gather during their free time, instead of \nloitering on the streets. Such opportunities generally are not \navailable for females. Madrassas and water collection points are \nthe only place of community gatherings reported by Afghan \nfemales. \nCommunity strengths noted or observed include: a solid work ethic, unity, hospitality, resiliency and \nsupport to one another in difficult times. Many have skills they learned in Afghanistan such as carpet \nweaving, carpet designing, handicrafts, art work and traditional embroidery. The community has shown \ndetermination to earn their living with dignity rather than begging on the streets. They state that they \nare willing to provide labor voluntarily to demonstrate support for their community. Additionally, elders \nand tribal affiliations were viewed as community strengths. \nCommunity Resources and Self-Reliance [Questions about resources, community pooled funds, how resources are shared]. \nCommunity members understand self-reliance as being hard working and earning a living in order to \ncover basic needs. Community members, in particular youth and children, want to develop knowledge \nand skills that will afford them better employment opportunities \nto support themselves and their families. Afghan communities \nhave various skills brought from Afghanistan, such as carpet \nweaving, embroidery and handicrafts and passed through \ngenerations, which have helped them generate incomes. The \ncommunities report strong social networks and ties with the host \ncommunities, which can be better utilized to link existing skills \nand products to the markets in order to earn fair wages. \nEducation and vocational training opportunities are also viewed \nas a resource that will pay off in the future. \nIn urban areas, community-pooled funds do not formally exist. \nHowever, in some communities there are informal means to collect funds to assist persons in need, \nprimarily for health, food, funerals, education, electricity or other related needs2.

Those who can afford it, \nengage in sports, go to recreational spaces or restaurants with \nfriends, or gather in common places (Hujras) to play cards or \nother games. Negative coping mechanisms reported by males \ninclude domestic violence against women and children, or \n“unusual religious activities” such as going beyond the required \nnumber of prayers and excessive citation of the Qur’an. \nDue to movement restrictions, females do not have the same \navailability of stress relief opportunities outside the home. As a \nresult, females reported that to cope with stress they may isolate themselves in the home and cry, seek \nmedication, and talk to relatives to find support and solutions (peer counseling).

Conclusions**\n\n- The results of this PDM show that cash assistance works, it has a positive impact on the\nimprovement of the refugees’ short-term, emergency living conditions and on the local economy.\nBrazil presents many opportunities and potential to expand the use of cash in refugee response,\ndue to the strong local markets and the robust delivery mechanisms and financial service\nproviders.\n\n- This post distribution monitoring exercise also shows that, in line with the Office priorities to reach\nmost at-risk refugee households, most recipients of UNHCR’s cash assistance are highly\nvulnerable households and not able to meet their basic food needs taking into consideration their\neconomic capacities, livelihoods resilience and food consumption score.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "- Considering that 2021 ended with a two-digit inflation rate, a revision of the grant values is needed,\ntogether with an analysis of the duration of the assistance, to potentially contribute to a greater\nreduction in the use of negative coping mechanisms.\n\n- In addition, there is a need to further strengthen links between cash assistance and complementary\nprotection support services, including the use of cash in the areas of GBV and child protection\ncase management.\n\n- Upon delivery of the prepaid card, PoCs are provided with general information about the use of\nthis modality, including feedback mechanisms, how to use the card, costs of withdrawals, how to\ncheck their balance and report any incident. However, during the focus groups, respondents\nevidenced a lack of familiarity with basic issues related to the use of the prepaid card and\nhighlighted not recalling the content of the information they had previously received. In this sense,\nthere is a need to work with partners and PoCs to simplify the messages, broaden the channels of\ncommunication and deliver better tailored information campaigns to address this gap.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "reliefweb"} -{"input": "- The positive results attained through cash assistance, as for instance evidenced by the significant\nincrease in the number of households who have a bank account, demonstrate the effectiveness of\nembedding cash in livelihood activities such as skills training, budget management/prioritization\nand access to financial services.

Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to the survey respondents for their willingness to share their experiences which has been instrumental in deepening our understanding of the challenges and needs faced by both refugees and host households. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii Introduction E thiopia, with its long history of hosting refugees, is grappling with the complex challenges of accommodating close to 1 million refugees and asylum seekers. These come primarily from neighboring countries like South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, and Sudan housed in camps in mostly rural areas spread around the country near border areas. While Ethiopia has adopted progressive refugee policies, including the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), challenges persist in translating these policies into tangible socioeconomic outcomes for refugees. Despite Ethiopia’s efforts to shift from a camp-based approach to a more inclusive model promoting self-reliance and integration, refugees live largely in camps, are reliant on humanitarian aid, and face barriers to accessing employment and education. The country’s new Refugee Proclamation grants refugees the right to basic services, work, and freedom of movement, but implementation delays hinder their realization.

The country’s new Refugee Proclamation grants refugees the right to basic services, work, and freedom of movement, but implementation delays hinder their realization. To address these challenges and achieve better development outcomes for both refugees and host communities, a shift towards supporting refugees’ self-reliance and economic integration is essential. This involves enabling refugees to move toward economic opportunities, facilitating their access to the labor market through self-employment, wage- employment, and special projects, and integrating refugee children into the education system. Though refugees in Ethiopia still face significant barriers to accessing employment and education, hampering their long-term integration and exacerbating their vulnerability, initiatives are on the way to improve socioeconomic outcomes. The Socio-Economic Survey of Refugees in Ethiopia (SESRE) plays a crucial role in informing policy decisions by providing comprehensive data on the socioeconomic dimensions of refugees and host communities. By highlighting socioeconomic interactions and outcomes, SESRE aims to guide development interventions and facilitate refugee integration. The survey covers various aspects, including demographic profiles, livelihoods, welfare patterns, and social cohesion, offering valuable insights for policymakers and humanitarian actors.

Like most national poverty surveys, HoWStat excludes displaced populations—Internally Displaced People (IDPs) or refugees—including in Ethiopia. To have up-to-date information on the socio-economic outcomes and poverty levels of refugees and to allow comparison to Ethiopian host communities, the SESRE applied the same questionnaire and data collection methods as the HoWStat, with some modifications. The World Bank, Ethiopia’s RRS, Ethiopia’s Statistical Service, and UNHCR collaborated to implement SESRE and was the first of its kind. This report uses data from the SESRE extensively to analyze the Ethiopian refugee situation and to devise policy directions. The SESRE covers three types of groups: (i) refugees in camps; (ii) refugees out-of-camps in Addis Ababa; and (iii) host communities; all of which require a distinct sampling procedure.

After they arrive in Ethiopia, refugees stay, on average, 15 years. Refugees and hosts share similar demographic characteristics regarding age and gender. However, in-camp refugees have a higher share of children and youth, with a significantly higher number of second-generation born in Ethiopia compared to OCP refugees, the majority being within a working age group. The refugee policy granted refugees the right to access basic services, including primary education and healthcare services in camps and secondary education and health services under the national system. Education: Educational attainment is low among refugees and hosts, but the majority of refugees have no education or attend below primary education. This is worse for in-camp refugees.

Inadequate school infrastructure, the need to support family income, and families unwilling to send children to school are some main reasons for the low secondary school enrollment. Refugee children are also much more likely to not attend education at the appropriate age. Providing sufficient, appropriate, and sustainable support from all responsible actors can overcome some of these challenges. Health: The prevalence of illness and getting medical assistance are similar between refugees and hosts, with child nutritional problems of stunting, underweight, and wasting challenging for both refugee and host children.

Jobs and Livelihoods In-camp refugees mainly rely on humanitarian aid as they have low employment rates and few opportunities to generate income. Labor market outcomes show high inactivity and unemployment rates for in-camp refugees. If refugees earn income, they are less likely than hosts to earn from agriculture, livestock, and non-farm business. Given low education, employed refugees tend to work in low- skill jobs, though there is a disparity in the occupation types among refugees by country of origin: Eritrean refugees work in crafts and related trades, while South Sudanese refugees are engaged in elementary occupations, and Somali refugees work in a mix of services, sales, and skilled agriculture. Besides low employment, refugees’ ownership of assets such as agricultural land, livestock, and productive assets is lower than that of hosts.

Executive Summary iv Executive Summary Working outside of camps helps improves refugees’ livelihoods. A significant proportion of in-camp refugees work outside camps despite not having work permits, earning more than those working inside camps. For employed in-camp refugees, hourly and monthly earnings are lower than for hosts. However, having lower wages is not associated with education level or experience. Having higher educational attainment and experience increases the likelihood of employment and income levels for hosts, not for refugees. Refugees receive returns from education and experience only when working outside camps. Likewise, reliance on assistance for in-camp refugees declines when a household member works outside the camp. Similar to in-camp refugees, OCP refugees heavily rely on remittances. Selection criteria for OCP refugees allow refugees to get OCP permits based on self-reliance or support from others. Hence, Eritrean refugees in Addis Ababa also had better educational attainment, indicating that they were relatively well-off before displacement and continued having support from their families after displacement.

Few OCP refugees work but if they work, they face occupational downgrading regardless of demographic characteristics, and all refugees are less likely to be employed in high-skill jobs than hosts despite completing secondary education. Female refugees have high employment rates—as high as men’s—and their high work participation rate makes a critical contribution to refugee household incomes. On average, in-camp refugee women and men are equally likely to be employed (around 25 percent), while among hosts, men are twice as likely to be employed (62 percent compared to 37 percent for women). Like men, refugee women are more likely than host counterparts to be self-employed and less likely to be in high-skill occupations. Refugee Aspirations Despite low resettlement rates, most refugees unrealistically aspire to go to a Western country in the next three years (Figure ES.1).

These intentions to migrate combined with low “locus of control” (LOC) may limit refugees’ investment in improving their livelihoods or to integrate. Welfare and Equity In-camp refugees are poorer than their hosts. While monetary poverty appears to be high in refugee- concentrated areas, it is more prevalent among in-camp refugees than their hosts or OCP refugees (Figure ES.3). Welfare varies significantly over the different groups of refugees in Ethiopia, with Eritrean refugees having the lowest poverty incidence and South Sudanese refugees the highest.

Besides losses refugees have endured, welfare and economic disparities between refugees and host communities in Ethiopia are due to limited access refugees have to livelihood opportunities and legal restrictions on their employment.

Low living standards and low education primarily drive multidimensional poverty. Standard of living indicators, low-quality cooking fuel, inadequate housing and low asset ownership, contribute half to non-monetary poverty. Moreover, deprivation in education and child malnutrition also contribute most to multidimensional poverty among refugees. Refugee households tend to have worse food security than hosts. In-camp refugees have less diverse diets, suffer food insecurity, and have low consumption status compared to hosts (Figure ES.4). Broadly, there is a need to enhance the economic self-sufficiency and food security of in-camp refugees and host communities by improving their livelihood opportunities. For in-camp refugees, consumption (expenditures) tends to increase with certain characteristics.

Education (of the household head) and employment strongly correlate with higher household expenditures, providing evidence again that improved access to education and labor markets would reduce poverty among refugees. Policies that limit formal employment and mobility of in-camp refugees contribute to their economic exclusion. We analyzed economic aid needed for each refugee under three scenarios: (i) no economic opportunities, (ii) current level of integration, and (iii) full integration. Under the hypothetical scenario of “no economic opportunities”—where refugees are not allowed to work but solely depend on aid or assistance—the annual cost of basic needs per refugee would be approximately US$378. The “current” level of economic integration scenario, where refugees can find opportunities to earn money or work—assuming that assistance is the gap between the consumption of refugees to the poverty line— reduces the cost by 44 percent to an annual US$221 per person.

Refugees overall have lower employment rates and incomes and are more likely to engage in the informal sector than their hosts, but spatial disparity in labor market access and outcomes among refugees exists. The local labor market structure, proximity to resource hubs (Zone capitals, Woreda cities), and market connectivity significantly explain the differences in refugee labor market outcomes, highlighting the importance of refugees’ locations in terms of providing opportunities for self- reliance (Figure ES.5). The local labor market structure affects the possibility of refugees finding jobs. Naturally, the better the local labor market, the easier for refugees to find employment.

Refugees are more likely to work where most land is used for non-agriculture (built-up and shops). Overall, results indicate the importance of agglomeration effects, as refugees perform better in labor markets with urban characteristics. Proximity to resource hubs and connectivity help refugees to work, regardless of gender. Refugees in well-connected areas have better prospects of being employed. The gender gap persists at any level of market access but is more pronounced with decreased accessibility. Refugees are also more likely to work in agriculture in areas with poor market access, while more connectivity encourages service sector work.

As development reduces global poverty, extreme poverty is increasingly concentrated among vulnerable groups; refugees are among these vulnerable groups (World Bank, 2017). Therefore, the plight of the forcibly displaced poses significant challenges to broad development efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ethiopia has a long history of hosting refugees and has one of the largest refugee populations in Africa. The refugee situation in Ethiopia is characterized by both complex humanitarian emergencies and protracted refugee status. Forced displacement is a pressing issue in the country, a result of conflict, drought, flood, economic instability, and political instability in neighboring countries (Martin, 2010; UNHCR, 2020d; IPCC, 2019).

Ethiopia is a signatory to the 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, with an obligation to protect refugees and asylum seekers.

The camps are in different locations with ethnic and language linkages between the refugees and the host community. They are spatially dispersed, have different geographic, social, and economic contexts, and are in different ecological zones. For example, about 38 percent of refugees live in drought-prone lowland and pastoralist areas, whereas 60 percent of refugees are in humid reliable lowland areas. Ethiopia made significant progress articulating a more progressive and comprehensive refugee response.3 The Government of Ethiopia (GoE) made a groundbreaking shift in its refugee policies over the last few years, especially since 2016, shifting its refugee policies from an encampment approach toward greater socio-economic inclusion.

In 2017, Ethiopia became the first country to fully adopt the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), a global framework for a comprehensive response to refugee situations. After endorsing the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in 2018, Ethiopia continued its commitment by adopting a new, progressive Refugee Proclamation in January 2019.5 Despite these groundbreaking legal and policy actions, many refugees in Ethiopia remain poor and depend heavily on humanitarian aid. This report highlights that Ethiopia’s progressive policy framework has not yet translated into tangible socioeconomic outcomes for refugees. Refugees are mainly living in camps, and few refugees benefit from the progressive policy framework.

Until recently, Ethiopia’s refugee response model has focused on protecting and assisting them in camps, where services are delivered through parallel systems typically financed externally. In many refugee- hosting areas in Ethiopia, except for a few areas such as Addis Ababa, refugees and host communities share cross-border cultural and economic connections, common ties of kinship, language, and ethnicity, and relatively fluid attachments to national identity (see Annex A for more details).

These include rights to access services, work, move freely, and locally integrate. 5 To complement the Proclamation three directives came into effect on 30 December 2019 namely: Directive to Determine the Conditions for Movement and Residence of Refugees Outside of Camps, Directive No.01/2019; Directive to Determine the Procedure for Refugees Right to Work, Directive No. 02/2019; and Refugees and Returnees Grievances and Appeals Handling Directive, Directive 03/2019.

As one of the champions of the CRRF, GoE aims to enhance the self-reliance and resilience of refugees and host communities and prepare them for durable solutions by supporting their socio-economic integration and strengthening their contribution to the country’s socio-economic development.7 Across the world, including Ethiopia, refugees tend to be poorer than most host populations. In Uganda, for example, 46 percent of refugees lived in poverty, compared to 17 percent of hosts, in 2018 (World Bank, 2019).

About 72 percent of registered Venezuelans in Brazil live in extreme poverty, compared to 48 percent of Brazilians (Shamsuddin et al., 2021). Similarly, this report finds that poverty rates in Ethiopia’s refugees in camps are much higher than for host communities. Yet, refugee inflows can significantly affect host communities. Governments have been preoccupied with whether the arrival of large numbers of people in specific locations creates risks or opportunities for decades. Experience has shown that opportunities typically result if the influx of refugees is managed well and brings benefits to host communities similar to those of voluntary migrants.

This finding is contrary to popular perceptions (Verme and Schuettler, 2021). In some exceptional cases, a refugee influx creates challenges for host communities, typically related to exacerbating existing imbalances, negative outcomes for specific groups who directly compete with refugees in the labor market, and overburdening public infrastructure or services (Hanafi et al., 2021). Deteriorating economic conditions and soaring inflation rates exacerbate the already challenging conditions for refugees and host communities. The country is grappling with a complex array of emergencies, with increasing needs for solutions for refugees. These challenges were intensified by an economic downturn marked by persistent inflation, which has consistently outpaced the Sub-Saharan African regional average over the past decade.

The country has dealt with multiple crises, including rampant inflation, a devastating war, and frequent droughts and floods.

The November 2022 peace agreement between the federal government and Tigrayan authorities offered a glimmer of hope for ending the war in Northern Ethiopia. Still, tensions in other parts of Ethiopia continued. Additionally, following the outbreak of fighting in the Amhara region in 2023, refugees in the Alemwach camp in the Amhara region faced attacks by unidentified armed groups. Moreover, food assistance for refugees has been unstable due to funding shortfalls, resulting in reduced food rations for hundreds of thousands of refugees for several months in 2022 and 2023.

The concerning economic outlook in Ethiopia is exacerbated by the prolonged and recurrent drought the country has seen in decades, affecting vast swathes of the southern and eastern regions, including refugee-hosting areas. This prolonged drought has heightened vulnerabilities, leading to widespread food insecurity and increased exposure to diseases, including multiple outbreaks of waterborne diseases. The impact of these drought and flood events on food security is particularly acute among refugee-hosting communities, notably in the Somali and Afar regions. The drought has destroyed agricultural production, leading to severe food shortages for refugees and host communities. In the Somali region, the Fafan and Siti Zones have been hit hard by drought events.

Overall, the effects of the drought have been particularly pronounced in regions that host refugees. Challenges related to hosting refugees can be overcome through national development strategies that keep both host communities and refugees in mind. Host communities have their own development priorities and needs. Supporting them in managing these new circumstances to facilitate their poverty reduction can create a more accepting environment for refugees. In Ethiopia, among the major refugee-hosting regions, four— Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, and Somali— are designated as “emerging regions,” and Tigray is considered post-conflict.

Introduction 5 1.1 How can we achieve better development outcomes for all? The GoE has recently bolstered development- oriented initiatives to complement humanitarian interventions and improve the lives of refugees and host communities. Yet, most refugee responses in the country remain humanitarian-focused. Better integration and increased attention to easing the pressure on host communities can further support refugees and their hosts. But how can this be achieved? Development approaches are most successful when they focus on building self-reliance—including offering refugees secure terms of stay, mobility to access better economic opportunities, and access to the labor market— and supporting refugees’ pursuit of economic opportunities while simultaneously supporting refugee-hosting communities (Betts et al., 2014; Clements et al., 2016; Krause and Schmidt 2020).

This not only can improve refugees’ outcomes, it can also reduce the burden on host communities by reaping economic benefits from refugees’ presence. The path of self-reliance includes, at a minimum: (i) encouraging mobility within the host country to access better economic opportunities; (ii) enabling and incentivizing labor market participation; and (iii) providing access to education for refugee children. Many refugees do not enjoy mobility in their host territories, including choice of residence.8 Globally, one-third of refugees are prevented from moving freely (UNHCR, 2022e). About 27 percent of the refugee population is contained in camps, leading to a situation in which they cannot be self-reliant and thereby improve their economic opportunities to reduce their dependence on support from their hosts and the international community (World Bank, 2017).

Therefore, development approaches centering around mobility within the host country enable refugees to move where economic opportunities are highest and allow them to contribute to the local economy more productively. While refugees in Ethiopia face challenges accessing the labor market, the GoE has taken positive steps to support their economic integration and self- reliance. Restrictions on the right to work affect refugees in many countries. Only 75 out of the 145 signatories to the Refugee Convention grant the right to work (Zetter and Ruaudel, 2016). Even countries that grant access to the formal labor market in the same way as nationals—Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Mauritania, Niger, and Rwanda— often restrict access in practice by requiring certain identification documents, the country employers are reluctant to hire refugees (World Bank Group, 2021), or restrictions exist, such as wait periods,", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "seis"} -{"input": "formal labor market in the same way as nationals—Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Mauritania, Niger, and Rwanda— often restrict access in practice by requiring certain identification documents, the country employers are reluctant to hire refugees (World Bank Group, 2021), or restrictions exist, such as wait periods, limited mobility, owning property, or accessing finance. In other countries—Burundi, Chad, Uganda, and Ethiopia—access to the labor market is limited by regulations, such as requiring work permits, caping the percentage of foreign workers, or restricting work to certain sectors of employment (World Bank Group, 2021). In addition to wage employment, self-employment can be an important avenue, but in many countries, access to self-employment is restricted for refugees, including in Ethiopia where refugees require business licenses. Overall, while the GoE has made progress in creating a legal framework for refugees to obtain work permits, refugees still face significant challenges accessing employment, contributing to their overall vulnerability and lack of self-reliance.

Enabling refugees’ labor market participation outside of refugee camps as early as possible is key to achieving their integration (Fasani et al., 2022; Slotwinski et al., 2019) by limiting long-term scarring effects, such as long-term unemployment or inactivity. Integrating refugee children into education soon after arrival avoids loss of valuable years of education and harm to human capital accumulation that hinders future prospects.

A recent study of refugee children in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, for example, found that literacy and learning outcomes for refugee children were significantly lower than in immediate host community or the rest of Kenya (Piper et al., 2020). This report shows that education outcomes for children in Ethiopia are low across all population groups and ages but particularly for refugee children.

The SPS specifically excludes refugee households living out of camp, thereby making it representative of the refugee population residing in camps in Ethiopia. In contrast, SESRE, carried out in 2023, expanded its data collection to include out-of-camp refugees living in Addis Ababa. The SPS and SESRE both utilized stratified sampling designs but with different methodologies and definitions of the host households. The SPS employed a multi-stage stratified random sampling approach, dividing refugee camps into EAs of 150 by 150 meters using GIS technology. The number of EAs selected from each camp was proportional to the size of the camp, ensuring all camps in the sample frame were surveyed.

However, different poverty estimation methodologies and different poverty lines are used. Likewise, both surveys indicate that refugees are more food insecure than the host community.

Overall, Ethiopia’s refugee situation is protracted; refugees have been in Ethiopia for an average of about 14 years. Refugees differ by country of origin. For example, Eritrean refugees have been in Ethiopia for average of slightly more than 16 years, Somalis for just under 16 years, and South Sudanese for roughly 15 years. On the other hand, refugees in Addis Ababa arrived nine years ago, on average (Figure 2.3a).

Investment in human capital development can enable refugees to contribute to local economies to benefit refugees and hosts alike, and it can contribute to the recovery of countries of origin and the hosting communities. Despite the positive externalities of integrating refugees into public-school systems, a large influx of refugee children can exacerbate existing inefficiencies.

Where there are large inflows, the national education system might require additional human and financial resources to integrate newly arrived children. Increasing the supply and improving the quality of schools in affected areas, supported by external assistance and financing, can avoid tension between refugees and host community populations over competition for access to education.15 Support is particularly needed in remote areas—where refugees are often hosted—where educational services are already strained for local children (Abu- Ghaida and Silva, 2020). An inclusive education system can benefit both refugees and native children. Research has shown that an inclusive education system has positive externalities for host community children (Abu- Ghaida and Silva, 2020). A Rwanda study showed that local Rwandan children’s school attendance is higher among communities within a 10-kilometer radius of a refugee camp. Other countries have also integrated refugee children into the national education system (Bilgili et al., 2019). In Colombia, about 333,000 Venezuelan children were enrolled in government schools in 2020 (about 3.4 percent of the total student population in Colombia) (UNHCR, 2021a).

In addition to benefiting refugee children, high school enrolment and learning outcomes increased for local Turkish students (Tumen, 2019; 2021).

Primary education is delivered by a combination of national and refugee incentive teachers.17 It is important to note that all national teachers are qualified, but some refugee incentive teachers receive training to build their capacity. Moreover, there are not enough female teachers in camps, with the majority of teachers being male. Refugee schools also face high turnover of teachers as they take on better-paid jobs (UNHCR, 2017).

In 2019, the RRS introduced a directive for implementing the OCP, enabling refugees to establish residence outside the camp to broaden employment opportunities and achieve self-reliance. Refugees who live for more than one month in a camp can apply for a regular OCP residency permit. To be eligible for OCP residency, a refugee should be able to prove they can cover the cost of living or provide a sponsor and receive a work permit. OCP residency permit rules exempt refugees with special conditions (orphaned children, with medical issues, single mothers, elderly, and with urgent overseas travel). Refugees who are no longer beneficiaries of the urban assistance program can also get the permit if they meet the requirements of the OCP residency permit (RRS, 2019).

In Addis Ababa, 83 percent of primary-aged refugee children attend primary school, but only 31 percent of secondary-aged refugee children attend secondary school (Annex D, Figure D.3). Following the revision of the Refugee Proclamation in 2019, the Ministry of Education (MoE) and RRS have tried to provide primary education to refugee children in the same circumstances as nationals. However, transition from primary to secondary school remains very low among refugees due to, among other things, limited available schools, lack of adequate infrastructure, and examination bottlenecks24 (UNHCR, 2020a).

Among youth aged 15 to 18, 61 percent of refugees (driven by South Sudanese refugees) and 31 percent of hosts attend primary education. In South Sudan, 70 percent of children are out of school (UNICEF, 2021). Hence, limited access to education in the country of origin contributes to late school entry among South Sudanese refugee children. In Somali refugee camps, parents want their children to attend Quranic schools before attending primary schools, which could contribute to delaying school attendance.

On the other hand, sickness/injury or natural or human- caused disasters, such as drought or violence, hinder children from going to school among South Sudanese and Eritrean refugees (Figure 2.14). Studies show that refugee children also face challenges to attend school due to a lack of academic records, mental health issues and (Thomas, 2016), and language barriers (Reddick and Chopra, 2021). Given that the international community provides education in camp settings, refugees spend less on education compared to hosts. The average annual expenditure on education per school-age child among in-camp refugees is much lower than among hosts (Annex D, Figure D.6). On the other hand, refugees in Addis Ababa spend less on education than their hosts, likely reflecting a much lower share of refugee children who attend private education.

Before displacement, refugees often live in countries experiencing economic turmoil and humanitarian crises. During their flight, refugees face harsh and uncertain conditions. Refugees often struggle to integrate and feel accepted when they arrive at their new destinations. All of this can severely affect their physical and psychological wellbeing. Yet, many refugees face barriers to accessing health services they need—including accessing health providers and getting medicines or medical supplies—due to distance, safety, language, policy, or financial constraints. Good health is an essential requirement to rebuild refugees’ lives after displacement. Refugees, like any other population, have varied health-related issues, including noncommunicable and communicable diseases and trauma from injuries and violence.

OCP refugees spend more on health compared to hosts. OCP refugees can no longer rely on international aid sources for healthcare, and do not have health insurance. However, OCP refugees who get out-of-camp residency permits due to health problems receive medical services free of charge under the urban assistance program.

In-camp refugees have access to healthcare through the international community, so their out-of-pocket spending on health is thus very low and much lower than hosts’ out-of-pocket health expenditures. The difference in per capita health expenditure is large between Eritrean and South Sudanese refugees and their hosts but low among Somali refugees and their hosts (Annex D, Figure D.12).

Stunting is the impaired growth and development children experience from poor nutrition, inadequate maternal health, and repeated infection during the critical first 1,000 days of a child’s life. Stunting has long- lasting consequences such as impaired cognitive development, health issues, increased mortality, and reduced earning potential in adulthood. SESRE results show high stunting rates for both hosts and refugees, with regional differences. The prevalence of stunting is higher among Eritrean refugees (52 percent) and their hosts (43 percent), followed by Somali refugees (47 percent) and their hosts (37 percent). Children in the South Sudanese domain show the lowest stunting rates, yet 26 percent of refugees and their host children are too short for their age.

Refugees in camps have better access to health institutions for child delivery than hosts. Access to healthcare during childbirth is crucial for the health of mothers and newborns.

But during this period, the distribution of workers across sectors and geographies shifted very little. According to newly released 2021 Labor Force Survey (LFS) data, about 80 percent of Ethiopians live in rural areas, where roughly 75 percent work in agriculture. In urban areas, approximately 70 percent of people work in services. Nationally, self-employment accounts for about half of jobs, with unpaid family work second most common and wage work a distant third. Again, the urban context is different: wage employment is prevalent but often poorly paid.

Nationally, unemployment doubled between 2013 and 2021, and it tripled in rural areas. Women and youth both saw particularly sharp increases in unemployment. There was also a decrease in the labor force participation rate (LFPR), from 86 percent in 2013 to 74 percent in 2021, following a long period of steady LFPR in the two previous LFS surveys.

On average, rural women, urban youth, people with disabilities, and rural-urban migrants are more likely to be inactive and less likely to have improved their livelihoods over the last two decades. In this context, it is unsurprising that refugees cite “lack of economic opportunity” as one of their most critical challenges. In all domains, when refugees are asked to list the top three challenges they face as refugees in Ethiopia, the most common responses are lack of work or business opportunities and high cost of living. To refugees, these are much more important than poor services, lack of community networks, or insecurity and discrimination. This highlights the severity of the labor market challenges refugees face in Ethiopia. Inclusion, rather than marginalization, can benefit both refugees and host communities. Defining development approaches and better situating them within the agenda of international protection and national, regional, and local development plans can enable refugees and their hosts to fulfill their potential.

Development approaches are most successful when they focus on building self-reliance—including offering refugees secure terms of stay, mobility to access better economic opportunities, and access to the labor market— and supporting refugees’ pursuit of economic opportunities while simultaneously supporting refugee-hosting communities (Betts et al., 2014; Clements et al., 2016; Krause and Schmidt, 2020). Refugees endure trauma and loss of assets and livelihoods resulting from their flight. Stabilizing their livelihoods, improving their economic opportunities, and placing them on a path of self- reliance can help refugees overcome these conditions and avoid short-term survival strategies that have negative long-term consequences, such as putting children to work, early marriage of children, or selling remaining assets (World Bank, 2017). Development approaches enabling and incentivizing refugees’ self-reliance can improve refugee outcomes and reduce the burden on host communities by reaping economic benefits from refugees’ presence.

Refugees are forced to suddenly leave their countries and settle in foreign lands without necessarily selecting their destination or having favorable employment prospects. Compared to economic migrants, refugees often arrive without connections to employers or time to invest in applicable human capital, language, or other skills (Brell et al., 2020). Nonetheless, many refugees have valuable skills and experience to contribute to local economies (World Bank, 2023; Lebow, 2023). Strengthening refugees’ human capital during displacement— that is, strengthening their skills, knowledge, and experience and the ability to apply them in the host country setting—is essential to enable refugees to realize their potential, become productive members of society, and achieve self-reliance. Upon arriving in the host country, the first few years have an outsized effect on economic opportunities and wages. Enabling refugees’ labor market participation from a very early stage is critical to achieving positive long-term integration as it limits long-term scarring effects, such as long- term unemployment or inactivity (Fasani et al., 2022; Slotwinski et al., 2019).

Most refugees in Ethiopia do not move to locations with better economic opportunities and live in camps. About 88 percent of refugees in Ethiopia are living in camps, where they cannot take advantage of economic opportunities to be self-reliant and thereby improve their economic opportunities to reduce their dependence on support from their hosts and the international community (World Bank, 2017). Denying refugees mobility to settle where they would like comes at a cost, as the choice of location within the host country affects refugees’ labor market outcomes.

While the GoE has made commendable steps towards granting refugees the right to work, most refugees do not have work permits for wage or self- employment. Technically, refugees in Ethiopia have a right to participate in the labor market. However, this has not been implemented in practice due to a lack of clarity on what ���most favorable treatment accorded to foreign nationals” means. Though progress is made by clarifying the legal framework and issuing work permits for different employment pathways, such as for joint projects, wage- employment, and self-employment (see Annex B for details on pathways of employment), few refugees have obtained work permits or business licenses. Instead, refugees typically work in the informal sector in surrounding communities or the camps., this may include selling aid rations on the local market, informal trade, and economic exchange, or working for local NGOs and UN agencies (ReDSS, 2018).

Extensive research has shown that not being able to enter local labor markets legally is detrimental to refugees’ ability to earn for their families, and for them to find an occupational match that maximizes the benefits they contribute to Ethiopia (World Bank, 2023). Because of conflict, the SESRE data collection could not include refugees in the Tigray region in Ethiopia, where most Eritrean refugees were hosted before the conflict. Since outbreak of the conflict in November 2020, many Eritrean refugees moved to Addis Ababa, and many fled from the Mai Ani and Adi Harush refugee camps in Tigray to the newly established refugee hosting site of Alemwach, Dabat in the Amhara region. Between February and July 2022, over 15,000 refugees relocated from the Tigray camps to Alemwach, and an additional 7,000 refugees were resettled in November 2022 following the cessation of hostilities (UNHCR, 2022).

Before the conflict, 64 percent of all Eritrean refugees were hosted in camps in Tigray and 36 percent in camps in Afar (UNHCR, 2020b). Refugees going to either Tigray or Afar are distinct culturally and linguistically. Eritrean refugees in Afar are Muslim and speak Afar, as do the Ethiopian hosts in Afar. Many Eritrean refugees in Tigray—and thus the ones who moved to Amhara during the conflict—are Orthodox Christians and speak Tigrinya. The SESRE sample, therefore, includes in-camp Eritrean refugees in two regions: Afar (216 households) and Amhara (216 households). This means that Eritrean refugees in Amhara, representing half of the Eritrean refugee sample, were displaced from Tigray only a few months before the SESRE was implemented, thus have had less time to integrate into the surrounding community and labor market. Among Eritreans in Afar and Amhara, the share working is 43 percent and 9 percent, respectively. Among workers, Eritreans in Amhara are three times as likely to work for NGOs or RRS, and very few work outside the camp.

As outlined, in-camp refugees generally do not have work permits or business licenses and largely depend on work inside the camp or informal work outside the camp. On the other hand, the GoE introduced an out-of- camp policy (OCP)39 in 2010 that provides refugees the opportunities to live in Addis Ababa and different non-camp locations of their choice. Roughly 71,000 Eritreans were under the OCP regime as of 2022, with over 90 percent living in Addis Ababa.

OCP refugees are systematically different from in-camp refugees, as seen in their livelihood strategies. Therefore, the remainder of this chapter divides the analysis between in-camp refugees and OCP refugees. 3.1 Labor market outcomes of in-camp refugees and their hosts In-camp refugees have high inactivity rates (not working or unemployed) and low labor force participation. Table 3.1 shows that only 31 percent of all in-camp refugees aged 15-64 “participated” in the workforce (in the week before the survey), meaning they were employed or available to work and actively searching (strict unemployment). This compares to 52 percent for hosts.

Given the needs, Ethiopia’s Refugee and Returnee Service (RRS) implemented an “amnesty” program, providing OCP documents to all refugees who came to Addis Ababa after November 2020. Between November 2020 and 2022, approximately 43,000 Eritreans migrated to Addis Ababa. These represent 27 percent of Addis Ababa refugees in the SESRE sample. The Eritreans who migrated after November 2020 are slightly less educated and, given they have had less time to integrate into the Addis Ababa labor market, are less likely to be employed (10 percent relative to 19 percent for Eritreans who came before November 2020).

While the share of in-camp working refugees does not vary by country of origin, Eritrean refugees are more likely to work in crafts and related trades (49 percent; see Annex D, Figure D.19). South Sudanese refugees are likelier to be in elementary occupations (77 percent). As a result, Eritreans concentrate more in the industrial sector and less in services.

Figure 3.5 shows that, on average, in-camp refugee women and men are equally likely to be employed (around 25 percent), while among hosts, men are twice as likely to be employed (62 percent compared to 37 percent for women). Like men, refugee women are more likely than host counterparts to be self-employed and less likely to be in high-skill occupations. Despite not having work permits, many in-camp refugees work outside the camps, which presents many more income-generating opportunities than working in camps. On average across refugee camps, 40 percent of working refugees work outside the camp. This rate is 42 and 44 percent in Somali and South Sudanese camps, respectively.

Out-of-camp work is primarily a mix of elementary occupations, skilled agricultural work— especially among Somalis, for whom it accounts for 51 percent of work outside the camp—and, to a lesser extent, services and sales. As the next section shows, these workers earn much more than inside the camp, highlighting the greater income-generating opportunities outside the camp. This demonstrates the importance of allowing refugees to work outside of camps to support their self-reliance; access to the labor market outside of camps is a critical element of sustainability—both financially and socially—to reduce dependence on host government assistance (World Bank, 2023). Finally, Figure 3.9 shows that, while women are less likely than men to work outside the camps, they still do so at relatively high rates—35 percent of working women work outside of camps, compared to 47 percent of men.

For both men and women, the hourly earnings gap is largest in the South Sudanese domain (77 percent) and lowest in the Somali domain (52 percent). Because refugees work fewer hours on average, the average monthly earnings gap is even larger at 62 percent. Lower wages for refugees are not explained by differences in education, demographics, occupation, or sector.

Compared to hosts, camp-based refugees’ employment depends little on education and increases less with age. Among hosts, those who completed secondary are much more likely to work across all ages, while people who completed primary are more likely to work if they are older; among hosts who completed primary education, the share who are employed rises to 89 percent by age 45-54 compared to 69 percent for hosts without primary.

A regression analysis (Annex D, Table D.7) confirms these patterns after controlling for country of origin, gender, and years spent in Ethiopia – hosts enjoy greater increases in earnings as they age or if they are better educated compared to in-camp refugees. This may partly explain why many refugee households are unwilling to send their children to school, as highlighted in Chapter 2.

With low employment rates, earnings, and value of household income-generating activities, in-camp refugee households rely heavily on aid. Expanding refugee access to agricultural land, livestock, and legal work outside of camps are vital for refugees to maintain their livelihoods without depending on donations. On average, 78 percent of in-camp refugee households report that NGOs or government donations are their primary source of income (Figure 3.20), increasing to 88 percent for South Sudanese households. On the other hand, their host counterparts rely most on employment, and 32 percent rely on agricultural income compared to only 3 percent of refugee households.

Refugees across all regions of Ethiopia have benefited from livelihood training interventions provided by RRS, domestic and international NGOs, and humanitarian organizations. For example, the Ikea Foundation, through UNHCR, invested around US$100 million in the Dollo Ado camps in Somalia between 2012 and 2019. Much of this funding supported economic development and livelihood opportunities for refugees and the host community, including creating livelihood cooperatives in agriculture, livestock value chain, energy, firewood, and microfinance (Betts et al., 2020).

UNHCR records indicate that more than 8,000 Eritrean refugees received such training, which could explain the high share of Eritreans working in crafts and related trades in the SESRE. As another example, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) has a multi-million-dollar program to improve quality and access to vocational training for refugees and Ethiopians across all refugee-hosting regions (Giordano et al., 2021).

This question is difficult to answer due to lack of consolidated information on programs, the number of beneficiaries, and the economic outcomes of beneficiaries. Case-study evaluations indicate that vocational training programs have helped to increase incomes, diversify income sources, and, in some cases, promote local infrastructure development. However, these income increases are often modest, and trained individuals and cooperatives often fail to become self-sustainable in the long term and continue to rely on external inputs, especially in more remote camps with poor market linkages (Betts et al., 2020; Giordano et al., 2021; Holzaepfel, 2015). This is consistent with the results of the SESRE finding that, despite the scale of livelihood training investments across the country, most working-age refugees still do not work, and most refugee households rely on aid as a primary source of income. Given the protracted nature of refugee hosting in Ethiopia, it is essential to better understand how vocational training programs and cooperatives can become self-sustainable, especially in the more remote border regions with poor market linkages.

If the actual share of refugees in an occupation is different from this predicted share, then it is due to other factors not related to education, gender, and age.

Few refugees primarily enroll through an existing formal employer; thus, the OCP is mainly open to refugees with networks that can support them with remittances, and this makes these households less likely to work in Addis Ababa. Therefore, refugee labor market outcomes in Addis Ababa would be very different if all refugees had the possibility to move in response to economic opportunities. In fact, households without an existing support system are precisely those who can benefit most from access to labor markets and will contribute the most economically. However, the occupational downgrading and lower wages among Ethiopia’s OCP refugees who work show that challenges persist even after refugees are granted access to urban labor markets. This has been well-documented in many other settings around the world (Lebow, 2023; World Bank, 2023).

Instead of keeping refugees in camps, it is vital to allow them to realize their potential and thus benefit host communities as productive members of society. 3.3 Refugee youth Refugee inactivity and unemployment are high among youth (aged 15-24) in Addis Ababa.

While “resettlement” to a high-income country is an attractive solution, the share of refugees resettled globally is marginal. Resettlement is considered one of the three “durable solutions” for refugee protection under the 1951 Refugee Convention, alongside naturalization and return. Yet, the share of refugees resettled globally—including private sponsorship and other complementary pathways of refugee admission to third countries outside of UNHCR processes—was below 2 percent over the past twenty years (World Bank, 2023). According to government statistics, there has also been a downward global trend in the number of resettlement opportunities, fluctuating from 99,000 in 2010 to just 34,000 in 2020, even as the number of forcibly displaced persons increases globally.

Intention to migrate abroad is lower by around 8 percentage points for refugees over age 45 (Annex D, Table D.10).42 However, it does not depend on gender. Only in Eritrean camps is intention to migrate abroad lower, by 5 percentage points, among those with completed secondary education. Intention to migrate abroad also does not vary with time in Ethiopia. Refugee aspirations and expectations for resettlement may be important determinants of how much they will invest in their skills and socio-economic integration. Evidence from various settings shows that when migrants expect to spend more time in a country, they invest more in their skills and socio-economic and labor market integration (Adda et al., 2022).

It could also mean building social networks in Ethiopia, which needs to improve considering, for example, the tiny share of refugees who report having an Ethiopian friend (as will be discussed in Chapter 7). Better alignment of refugees’ expectations for resettlement with reality could improve socio-economic outcomes. Based on evidence of resettlement over the past ten years, better- aligning expectations with reality could be essential to encourage refugees to make more significant investment in skills and socio-economic integration. Humanitarian organizations have long understood the importance of managing resettlement expectations (UNHCR, 2023b). Better understanding the reasons for unrealistic expectations in Ethiopia, and the role that policymakers and the international community play in this, could support refugees’ long-term trajectory. “Locus of control” (LOC)—a feeling of personal control over events in one’s life—is significantly related to willingness to invest in one’s future and has been shown to", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "seis"} -{"input": "reasons for unrealistic expectations in Ethiopia, and the role that policymakers and the international community play in this, could support refugees’ long-term trajectory. “Locus of control” (LOC)—a feeling of personal control over events in one’s life—is significantly related to willingness to invest in one’s future and has been shown to improve refugees’ socio- economic integration.

For example, if a harvest is good or bad, a farmer with low LOC is likelier to attribute it to chance or external forces than their skill. Higher LOC has been shown to affect schooling decisions, occupational choice, and savings (Cobb-Clark et al., 2016; Heckman et al., 2006). In Ethiopia, higher LOC has been shown to predict farmer adoption of modern agricultural technologies (Taffesse and Tadesse, 2017).

Based on SESRE data, the index used to construct a measure of personal control over one’s life is an unweighted average of 10 LOC- related questions.

When considering different dimensions, we find that refugees’ LOC is driven by a feeling of lower internal control over the future. LOC can be grouped into three categories: a sense of internal control, the role of chance or fate, and the role of “powerful others” (Levenson, 1981).

Refugees’ Aspirations 42 T his chapter examines the state of welfare and poverty levels of refugees and host communities in Ethiopia. The emphasis on refugees and host communities acknowledges both groups’ mutual—and sometimes interdependent— development needs. We assess multiple dimensions of welfare and poverty of refugees and hosts in Ethiopia using household-level consumption data. The data presents a comprehensive set of social and economic indicators to determine poverty incidence, food security, and standard of living. In addition to refugees overall, we look at welfare differences across refugee groups—Eritreans, Somalis, and South Sudanese—and compare differences in contexts and situations. In more detail, we analyze (i) poverty incidence and inequality, (ii) expenditure patterns, (iii) multidimensional poverty, and (iv) food security, perception of standard of living, and shocks. The chapter also provides a poverty profile and determinants of the welfare of refugees and host community households and estimate of the cost of basic needs for refugees.

In-camp refugees have significantly higher monetary poverty based on strikingly low average expenditures. A staggering 75 percent of refugees live below the international poverty line of US$2.15 in 2017 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) per day per capita. Though still high, host communities have a relatively lower poverty rate of 25 percent (Figure 5.1).

Welfare and Equity Refugees’ Aspirations 43 Refugees in Addis Ababa are less poor than their hosts, as well as in-camp refugees and their hosts. Poverty incidence in Addis Ababa for refugees living under the OCP is lower (7 percent) than their hosts (18 percent).43 This difference is driven primarily by the high rent expenditures of refugees since they cannot benefit from public housing schemes, increasing their overall consumption expenditure. As discussed in Chapter 2, about 97 percent of refugee and 39 percent of host households in Addis Ababa live in rented houses.

While welfare is generally unevenly distributed in Ethiopia, inequality tends to be lower among refugees than hosts, except in Addis Ababa. Yet, when looking at the whole sample (in-camp and OCP), inequality is very high among refugees (39.2), much higher than their hosts (33.2). This result is driven by the stark welfare disparity between in-camp and OCP refugees (Figure 5.3). Moreover, differences in employment opportunities, and mobility create an uneven playing field for in-camp refugees and OCP (see Chapter 3). 5.1.2 Expenditure patterns Average consumption expenditures for in-camp refugee households is nearly half of hosts.

Food expenditure shares are higher for refugees, indicating a high dependence on food associated with higher poverty. Except for Addis Ababa, the share of expenditures on food is slightly higher for refugees than hosts; about 68 percent of all expenditures of in-camp refugees are spent on food, while hosts spend 61 percent on food, consistent with lower poverty rates in host communities (Figure 5.4).

Similarly, most refugees depend on transfers or gifts for non-food consumption, while their hosts depend on market purchases (Figure 5.5b). A large share of refugees in Addis Ababa also rely on transfers or gifts driven by remittances. Expenditure patterns vary by refugee domain and in-camp and OCP refugees.

Overall, refugees expenditures are higher on cereals and less on animal-origin food items associated with the types of food aid provided. This could be because refugees receive assistance for cereals/grains, not animal-origin food items.

Overall, most households feel that their living standards have deteriorated. While in-camp refugees are more pessimistic about the changes in their households’ living standards, there is no significant difference in perceptions among OCP refugees in Addis Ababa and their hosts. The considerably high negative perception about changes in household living standards indicates that well-being has been worsening for everyone over the past few years, but even more so for refugees in camps. Refugees, on average, have poor food and nutrition security outcomes compared to their hosts. The extent of food insecurity measured by the food insecurity scale is significantly higher for refugees than hosts, both for in-camp and for out-of-camp refugees (Figure 5.9).

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) explores this multiple deprivation, capturing differences across three dimensions of well-being: health, education, and living standards (Alkire et al., 2021). MPI provides a general picture of the extent of deprivation. In this context, deprivation in education is assessed using school attendance for school-age children and years of schooling among adults. Health is proxied by the presence in the household of a stunted child or death of a child in the last 12 months before the survey. Living standards are assessed by access to electricity, improved water, sanitation, cooking fuel source, housing, and economic assets. The MPI ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 representing a high level of deprivation. It is the product of two partial indices: the headcount ratio (H) and the intensity of poverty (A) i.e. (MPI = H*A).

The share of households with acceptable food consumption status—food consumption score of 35 or above—is considerably lower among in-camp refugees (49 percent) than their host (74 percent).

Both refugees and host communities use “consumption-smoothing” to cope with the various shocks they face. Households utilize a mix of coping strategies to mitigate harm to their welfare that shocks cause. “Consumption smoothing”, among the major risk coping strategies, mainly involves relying less on preferred food and more on less expensive food (diet changes) and reducing the number of meals eaten daily (negative food intake).

The results further show that both refugee and host households do not engage in adverse coping strategies, such as the sale of (productive) assets that would make them vulnerable to poverty. This could be because either they do not have enough assets to sell or because the strategies they utilize are enough to cope with the effects of shocks. 5.2 Determinants of welfare The poverty profile in this section compares the characteristics of poor compared to non-poor people. The previous section presents refugees’ and host communities’ poverty and welfare patterns. This section substantiates the earlier discussions on poverty levels by describing the demographic, geographic, and socioeconomic characteristics by expenditure quintiles for each refuge and host group separately, along with the poverty headcount rate across grouping variables (see Annex D, Table D.11).

The dependent variable is the natural logarithm of consumption per capita. That is, we compare level of consumption to other variables to identify characteristics that correlate to a household being poor. Table D.12 and Table D.13 in Annex D show the full results of the regressions on the determinants of consumption per capita separately for in-camp and out-of-camp refugees and hosts. Poor in-camp refugees have higher household sizes, dependency ratios, and male heads. The poorest refugee and host households have significantly larger household sizes and dependency ratios than the richest counterparts (Figure 5.13).

There is no difference in the gender of the household head among the poorest and richest host households (Annex D, Table D.11). Location is an essential determinant of monetary poverty. Monetary poverty is highest among South Sudanese refugees (89 percent) (Figure 5.15). There is a significant difference in poverty rates between in-camp refugees and their hosts, the gap being the highest in the Eritrean domain. As discussed in Chapter 2, refugee households have larger household sizes than hosts, except in Addis Ababa. In light of the discussion above, the highest poverty incidence among South Sudanese refugees could be associated with their high dependency ratio and high number of female-headed households.

While building human capital represents an essential pathway out of poverty, there appears to be low human capital among refugee and host households, as indicated by the household head and members’ low education. The data reveals that poverty incidence is more prevalent among households with no or minimal education (Annex D, Table D.11).

We assessed a number of indicators, including whether the household has access to electricity; possesses livestock; has a mobile phone; owns agricultural land; runs a non-farm enterprise; or has bank accounts. These “wealth” indicators show stark differences between the poorest and richest in-camp refugees and their hosts. The poorest in-camp refugees and their hosts tend to have limited access to electricity, mobile phones, bank accounts, and non-farm enterprises (Figure 5.17).

Not surprisingly, the poorest hosts of in-camp refugees and the poorest refugees work in low (or medium)-skilled occupations, while the richest are employed in high-skill occupations (Figure 5.18c). - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 90,000 No education Primary incomplete Primary complete Secondary incomplete Secondary complete Post- secondary No education Primary incomplete Primary complete Secondary incomplete Secondary complete Post- secondary In Camp Refugees In Camp Hosts Addis Ababa Refugees Addis Ababa Hosts All Refugees All Hosts In Camp Refugees In Camp Hosts Addis Ababa Refugees Addis Ababa Hosts All Refugees All Hosts - 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70 0.80 0.90 1.00 Predicted total expenditure Predicted poverty rate Figure 5.16: Poverty incidence decreases with education of the household head Source: World Bank Staff based on SESRE", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["SESRE"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "seis"} -{"input": "Camp Refugees In Camp Hosts Addis Ababa Refugees Addis Ababa Hosts All Refugees All Hosts - 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70 0.80 0.90 1.00 Predicted total expenditure Predicted poverty rate Figure 5.16: Poverty incidence decreases with education of the household head Source: World Bank Staff based on SESRE 2023. Refugees’ Aspirations 52 A larger proportion of refugees work inside the camp across the distribution. Yet, better-off refugees are more likely to work inside the camp. Regarding location, although working outside the camp is shown to have significant wage effects (see Chapter 3), the data show that the poorest in-camp refugees are more likely to work outside the camp than the richest (Figure 5.18d), an effect apparently driven by refugees from South Sudan and Somalia, who are poorer overall. Regression results show that an increase in the share of employed household members is associated with increased household expenditure for in-camp refugees, their hosts, and out-of-camp refugees (Table D.12 in Annex D). The predicted poverty rate decreases with the share of employed household members, indicating that employment is essential to lowering poverty for in- camp refugees (Figure 5.19). 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Poorest", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["SESRE 2023"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "seis"} -{"input": "in-camp refugees, their hosts, and out-of-camp refugees (Table D.12 in Annex D).

Families with better access to essential resources such as education, healthcare, clean water, and stable employment are more likely to experience improved economic stability and well-being. Access to these services provides a foundation for building a more secure financial future, enabling households to invest in their growth and development. Consequently, communities with better access to resources tend to have lower poverty incidences, as these critical assets empower individuals to break free from the cycle of economic hardship. For analysis, resource access is proxied by remoteness or proximity to resource hubs and market accessibility. Descriptive statistics show that poverty rates are higher in medium market-accessibility areas and lowest in high-market accessibility areas (Annex D, Table D.11). Poverty incidence also tends to be lower in areas closer to Woreda capitals.

Moreover, living in high market-accessibility areas is associated with a 0.24 percent increase in consumption expenditure per capita. Market and political shocks harm the welfare of refugees and host communities. As mentioned, refugee households in Ethiopia are vulnerable to various shocks, including market shocks that harm their well-being. Poor households are more likely to experience shocks; concurrently, they are less equipped to devise coping strategies. Market shocks, often manifested through escalated food prices, seem to predominantly harm host communities, while refugees are less affected (Annex D, Table D.12). This disparity may stem from refugees’ heavy dependence on food assistance and remittances, coupled with the international community’s concentrated efforts on enhancing refugee livelihoods.

This section identifies how much it costs to meet basic needs through aid. It also shows how the need for assistance depends on the degree of economic inclusion of refugees, following the work of Atamanov et al. (2023). Basic needs are defined using monetary poverty lines. The approach captures the cost of a minimum standard of living, grounded in a well- established methodology. (see Box 5.4 for in-depth explanation of the methodology used). On average, in-camp refugees receive about 56 percent of total consumption from aid or assistance (Figure 5.20). 1 1 .8 .8 .6 .6 .4 .4 .2 .2 0 0 .05 .1 .15 0 1 .8 .6 .4 .2 0 Share of employed HH members Share of employed HH members In Camp Refugees", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "seis"} -{"input": "in-camp refugees receive about 56 percent of total consumption from aid or assistance (Figure 5.20). 1 1 .8 .8 .6 .6 .4 .4 .2 .2 0 0 .05 .1 .15 0 1 .8 .6 .4 .2 0 Share of employed HH members Share of employed HH members In Camp Refugees In Camp Hosts Addis Ababa Refugees Addis Ababa Hosts Figure 5.19: Poverty rates and employment for refugees and hosts Source: World Bank Staff based on SESRE 2023.

We estimate poverty levels for refugees and host communities using the standard consumption aggregate and the pre-assistance consumption aggregate. We present poverty rates separately for camp and out-of-camp refugees (Figure 5.21). Notably, poverty headcount for refugee camps is markedly higher when considering pre-assistance consumption; that is, consumption after deducting aid or assistance received (96 percent) as opposed to total consumption (84 percent).

These findings underscore humanitarian aid’s vital importance for refugee camps. The lack of substantial change in poverty among out-of- camp refugees is due to their greater reliance on remittances rather than direct aid. Compared to the “no economic opportunities” scenario (see Box 5.4), Ethiopia’s “current” economic integration model reduces costs by 44 percent to an annual cost of US$210 per capita. Figure 5.22 shows the yearly costs of basic needs per refugee to cover, depending on economic inclusion across the three scenarios. Under a “no economic opportunities” scenario—in which refugees do not work and must rely solely on aid or assistance, the annual cost of basic needs per refugee is approximately US$378.

Refugees’ Aspirations 55 In addition to their own resources, refugees rely on humanitarian aid to cover their expenditures on food, sanitation, hygienic products, and essential non-food items. “Successful” integration and economic inclusion—that is, earning sufficient income to be no longer poor and to consume more than the (international) poverty line—of refugees bring higher self-reliance and less reliance on humanitarian assistance.

In Ethiopia, the policy on living out-of-camp is somewhat unique in that refugees who live in camps are eligible for humanitarian assistance; all refugees receive the complete package. However, that package regularly changes when funding gaps arise. Refugees who live out-of-camp forego any assistance. Still, they can access education and health services.

For this purpose, basic needs are defined using monetary poverty lines (Atamanov et al., 2023). Monetary poverty lines are used because they both capture the cost of a minimum standard of living and follow a well-established methodology combining: (i) a food allowance for adequate nutrition/minimum caloric intake using a national basket of goods, and (ii) a non-food allowance that captures the cost of essential non-food items such as clothing, shelter, and private expenses on health and education (Ravallion, 1998).

The information about food and non-food consumption provided in-kind or free to households provides a measure of the role of existing humanitarian assistance. We assume that aid organization and the government provide these food and non-food products and services. The expenditure sources mapped to humanitarian aid to calculate pre-assistance income are consumption use of donation items from government or NGOs, sale of donation items from government or NGOs, donations in cash from government or NGOs, and imputed value of owned or subsidized dwelling units for in-camp refugees.

This could be a stringent assumption in light of Ethiopia’s refugee policy that does not facilitate swift access to work permits and refugee mobility within camps.

First, we define refugees, resource hubs, connectivity, and local markets, and highlight differences in refugee communities depending on location. Second, we identify in-camp refugees’ performance in the labor market and investigate if there is a spatial disparity in such outcomes among refugees. We discuss refugees’ spatial disparity in labor market access and outcomes based on their proximity to Zone capital cities, Woreda cities, and the nearest international border. In addition, we investigate their level of accessibility to the given market where they are located.

We selected the capital city of each Zone as it is a resource and market hub for surrounding Woredas and Kebeles (Box 6.1). Usually, these cities serve as a commerce center for agricultural goods and manufacturing products and provide better employment opportunities. Moreover, Zone Capital and Woreda cities offer better education and health services and improved transportation and communication infrastructure. In addition to cities and towns, people often use border areas to trade and purchase goods at better prices.

The analysis measures the nearest Zone and Woreda capital cities and the closest international border from refugee camps using straight-line distance in a projected coordinate system (Euclidean distance). The study indexed refugees’ proximity to resource hubs by classifying their presence to a combination of distance to cities and borders.

The market access indicator in Ethiopia is measured at the Woreda level. Accessibility for a Woreda is estimated as the sum of the travel time of the weighted population to the destination Woredas. With Woreda- to-Woreda origin-destination matrices, we calculate market accessibility by the following equation (Donaldson and Hornbeck, 2016; World Bank, 2019b): where is market access at Woreda “o”, is the trade cost between two Woredas “o” and “d”, is the population of Woreda “d”, and is the trade elasticity.

Consistent with existing evidence (Andersen et al., 2023), the study reveals that in a local economy where most of the working-age host population is in the labor market, refugees have a higher prospect of employment. Across all model specifications, men are more likely to be employed than women. For example, in a local market where only 50 percent of the working-age population is active, employment prospects are 12 percent for female refugees but 22 percent for male refugees (Figure 6.6). However, this difference in the probability of employment between male and female refugees disappears in local labor markets where more of the working-age population is active.

While social cohesion is often defined differently in different contexts, we define it here as “a sense of shared purpose, trust, and willingness to cooperate” (Barron et al., 2023). To be socially sustainable, communities must work together to overcome challenges, provide public goods, and allocate resources fairly, and social cohesion has long been seen as critical for solid institutions and economic growth (Easterly et al., 2006).

This is often challenging in a refugee context, where refugees not only experienced traumatic shocks to their social, economic, and emotional wellbeing, but they also face host communities’ concerns regarding how refugees affect the local labor market, the availability of goods and services, and the environment (World Bank, 2023a). These challenges are even more significant when refugee camps are in underdeveloped and underserved regions of the country, where there is greater competition over scarce resources, livelihood opportunities, and services. Despite challenges, forced displacement does not always lead to poor social cohesion between refugees and hosts. Social cohesion can actually improve due to the benefits refugees bring to host communities, and with positive interactions between refugees and hosts.

Economic studies of refugee camps in East Africa tend to find benefits for local economic development (Verme et al., 2021; Alix-Garcia et al., 2018; Maystadt et al., 2014). In Ethiopia, Walelign et al. (2022) find that refugees increase income diversification and livestock product sales for hosts and increase local market activity. Similarly, in Uganda, Zhou et al.

On the other hand, refugees hosted in Austrian municipalities for extended periods, as opposed to those who passed through, were found to reduce support for anti-immigrant parties, pointing to the benefits of refugee-host interactions (Steinmayr, 2021). All-in-all, there is little evidence that refugee hosting tends to worsen attitudes toward refugees in the Global South (World Bank, 2023b). 7.1 Attitudes between refugees and hosts SESRE data show that, while some hosts have negative attitudes towards refugees, most attitudes are generally positive. Sixty-five percent of hosts agree that refugees are friendly and good people, and only 20 percent are uncomfortable with having a refugee neighbor.

The greater degree of cultural and linguistic overlap between Somali refugees and their Ethiopian hosts may explain why attitudes are generally better in the Somali domain and worse in the South Sudanese domain, but socio-political tensions over ethnic composition in the Gambella region is also a factor (see Box 7.1). Evidence from many settings show that host attitudes and propensity for positive host-migrant contact increase with cultural proximity between migrants and hosts (World Bank, 2023b; Hainmueller et al., 2014; Betts et al., 2023). As an historical example, political backlash during the U.S. age of mass migration (between roughly 1850 to 1910) was more significant against immigrant groups that were more culturally distant (Tabellini, 2020).

In Ethiopia, Somali refugees and hosts benefit from speaking a common language and having a common religion, which is not always the case in the South Sudanese domain. However, most South Sudanese refugees still think they are culturally similar to hosts (Figure 7.16). The worse attitudes towards refugees in the South Sudanese domain are also related to socio-political tensions over ethnic composition described in Box 7.1. Attitudes among male and female hosts are similar, but female hosts have slightly more positive attitudes, especially in the Somali domain.

The Anywaa were the majority of the population until the mid-1980s, when an influx of South Sudanese refugees shifted the demographic composition towards Nuer (Feyissa, 2015). This trend continued with the influx of more South Sudanese refugees in 2013, creating a sense of marginalization among the Anywaa in terms of changes in demographic composition, widening educational disparities, and increasing insecurity (Vemuru et al., 2020). The struggle between these two ethnic groups in the Gambella region has created socio-political tensions and influenced South Sudanese refugees’ social integration (ReDSS, 2018).

This is consistent with extensive evidence that service delivery and aid inflows are crucial in improving social cohesion between hosts and refugees (World Bank, 2023a). From a policy perspective, this points to the benefits of ensuring that aid and programs to support refugees also benefit hosts (Baseler et al., 2021). Host trust for refugees does not significantly depend on gender, age, or education, and it does not increase with time in Ethiopia.

However, refugees are more trusting if they believe they are more culturally similar to their hosts. Refugees responding positively to the question, “Do you agree that you are culturally similar to the host community?” are 20 percent more likely to believe Ethiopians are trustworthy. This is true after controlling for gender, age, education, and time in Ethiopia. Importantly, it also controls for domains, so this implies that variations in cultural proximity within the domain drive this result. This indicates that cultural similarity plays a role in facilitating social cohesion. On the other hand, we see that cultural similarity explains some but not all of the high trust in Somali camps relative to other domains. 7.2 Social interactions Social and community integration is fundamental to refugees’ ability to improve their livelihoods, support systems, and economic integration.

A refugee who has spent an additional ten years in Ethiopia is only six percentage points more likely to have an Ethiopian friend and 8 percentage points more likely to find market interactions easier.

Annex D, Table D.20 uses another regression framework to study the relationship between labor market outcomes and various social integration outcomes, controlling for domain, gender, age, education, and years in Ethiopia. For the regression, the social integration outcomes are: “having an Ethiopian friend and family”, whether they find social interactions with hosts “easy to do,” and their perceived cultural similarity to hosts. The results show that having an Ethiopian friend is associated with a 6 to 7 percentage point increase in the probability of refugee employment and, among those who are employed, a 4 to 5 percentage point increase in the likelihood of being in a high-skill occupation (manager, professional, or associate professional).

As a result, refugees in Ethiopia remain poor and depend heavily on humanitarian assistance.

The existing cultural and ethnic- based affiliation between refugees and their hosts is critical in facilitating and enhancing socio- economic integration.

Path to self-reliance Pursue development approaches that enable and incentivize refugees’ self-reliance in Ethiopia to improve refugees’ outcomes and reduce burdens on host communities. Host communities can reap economic benefits from refugees’ presence. In Ethiopia, the path of self-reliance includes, at a minimum: (i) encouraging mobility to access areas with better economic opportunities, (ii) facilitating labor market access for refugees by easing restrictions and providing work permits, (iii) integrating refugee children into national education system to improve their long-term prospects, and (iv) strengthening inclusive healthcare systems to address the health needs of refugees.

Placing refugees in areas with lower economic opportunities without the ability to move makes it difficult for them to work (Azlor, Damm, and Schultz-Nielsen 2020; Eckert, Hejlesen, and Walsh 2020; Fasani, Frattini, and Minale 2022). Therefore, development approaches that allow refugees to move to areas with high economic potential can provide refugees with more job opportunities and boost demand in local economies. Increased economic demand can pull (host) people out of agriculture and contribute to rural transformation, a prerequisite for achieving structural transformation in Ethiopia. Promote improved refugee access to labor markets to provide sustainable economic opportunities, improved labor outcomes, and better prospects for long-term self-reliance (Muna, 2019).

In-camp refugees mainly rely on assistance, have low employment rates, and few opportunities to generate income. Some refugees work outside camps but without work authorization. This limits wages and job security. Easing restrictions on access to the labor market outside of camps and accelerating and automating issuance of work authorizations will have lasting effects in improving refugees’ livelihoods in camps. Given the importance of labor market participation for self-reliance, efforts to strengthen the human capital of refugees during displacement can have large payoffs. Strengthening their skills, knowledge, and experience could enable them to realize their potential and become productive members of society. Build inclusive education systems. Integrating refugees into functioning national education systems can improve future outcomes for refugee children and their hosts (UNHCR, 2020; Piper et al., 2020; Abu-Ghaida and Silva, 2020; Crawford et al., 2015; Bilgili et al., 2019).

Although over 70 percent of primary school age children attend primary education, they do not make it past primary education. Integrating refugee children into educational programs soon after their arrival in Ethiopia avoids the loss of valuable years of education and human capital accumulation, hindering prospects. It is critical to address the obstacles that hinder children from transitioning to secondary schooling, such as challenges in accessing school records, language barriers, or distance to schools. Supporting Regional Education Bureaus could increase the accessibility of secondary schools Policy Recommendations 74 Policy Recommendations to camp refugees.51 To improve the educational attainment of refugee children, the focus should be on increasing the number of qualified teachers in primary education, increasing the currently low compensation to incentive teachers with similar qualifications as nationals, improving primary-to- secondary transition rates, and reducing classroom overcrowding.

Build an inclusive health system. Good health is an essential requirement to rebuild refugees’ lives after displacement, but as highlighted in Chapter 2, refugee children are particularly prone to stunting and other nutritional challenges. Refugees have, as any other population, varied healthcare needs, including non-communicable diseases, infectious diseases, trauma from injuries, and violence. Research shows that conflict has extensive psychological impacts on refugees, particularly youth and children, which are often not addressed (Simpson 2018; Bosqui and Marshoud 2018; Dong 2018). Aligned with the GCR, refugees should be able to access healthcare and essential health services through the national health systems of the destination countries at affordable costs and sufficient quality. Services should consider the challenges refugees face, such as lack of familiarity with administrative procedures, uncertainty about the future, and psychological distress.

Place-based intervention Pursue place-based development approaches complementing regional development policies to benefit both refugees and hosts. Place-based interventions are strategies or programs that address issues in a specific geographic location or community. Place-based interventions focus on the unique characteristics, needs, and resources of the particular area; they leverage local assets to address local challenges with the active participation of community members. In Ethiopia, investments in refugee hosting locations should benefit refugees and hosts. Development partners and the GoE should align their development plans to expand opportunities for refugees and host communities sustainably. Leveraging development resources to increase investment in refugee areas can support social cohesion by demonstrating to host communities that the presence of refugees can create new livelihood opportunities for all local people.

Where there are large inflows, the national education system might require additional resources to integrate newly-arrived children. Increasing the supply and improving the quality of schools in affected areas, supported by external assistance and financing, can avoid tension that may arise over competition for access to education services. Better coordination between humanitarian and development actors can support efforts to expand and strengthen national education systems to benefit all students.

Continue implementing the progressive policy framework regarding refugees Implement concrete actions to realize pledges and proclamations. Action is needed to continue implementing Ethiopia’s progressive framework in refugee inclusion, service integration, and right to work. These relate to transforming camps into human settlements, which facilitate socio-economic opportunities for refugees to absorb the refugee camp into the local population, encouraging mobility to achieve self-reliance, accelerating and automating work authorization by virtue of status to engage refugees in three avenues of job opportunities (joint projects, wage-employment, and self-employment), expanding possibilities for access to land, and improving secondary legislation.

South Sudanese Refugees Following the outbreak of hostilities in parts of South Sudan in December 2013, a massive influx of refugees in Ethiopia led to the establishment of new refugee camps. The South Sudanese are the largest refugee population in Ethiopia. Currently, South Sudanese refugees are sheltered in nine camps located in the Gambella (seven camps) and Benishangul- Gumuz (two camps) regions of the country. Two refugee camps in the Benishangul-Gumuz region, namely Tongo and Gure-Shombola, were impacted by the clashes in the region, and the refugees were relocated to another camp called, Tsore, situated in the same region.

Despite ongoing international and regional peace efforts, including by the South Sudanese factions, Ethiopia continues to receive new arrivals from the country, mainly in dire need of food assistance, indicating limited opportunities for voluntary return and reintegration. Somali Refugees The Somali refugee inflow to Ethiopia started in early 1990s, with people seeking safety and protection. As of 2023, Ethiopia hosted 283,111 refugees from Somalia who were forced to flee their homes as a result of insecurity, political instability, conflict, and famine (UNHCR, 2023d). The Somali refugee population is currently supported in two Zones in the Somali Region: Fafan Zone (three camps) and Liben Zone (five camps). The population of Somali refugees in the Jigjiga area (Fafan Zone) is expected to increase modestly mainly because of natural population growth.

In the Ethiopian Somali Region, the armed group of Al-Shabab based in Somalia perpetrated several attacks in Afder, Liben, and Shabelle zones in July 2022. The attacks prompted all aid partners to suspend movements and operations along the affected areas temporarily affecting the drought response in the region.

Eritrean Refugees Since 2000, Ethiopia has received and hosted thousands of Eritrean refugees fleeing persecution. As of 2023, Ethiopia hosted 165,793 registered Eritrean refugees (UNHCR, 2023d) in six camps, and under the out-of-camp policy in Addis Ababa. The five refugee camps are located in Tigray (two), Afar (three), and Amhara (one) regions of the country. Unlike other refugee groups, many Eritrean refugees leave their camps due to various pull and push factors to pursue onward movement to urban centers within Ethiopia, including Addis Ababa, and other countries, primarily Europe.

Two refugee camps in Tigray (Hitsats and Shimelba) were destroyed due to the conflict in November 2020. The refugees who previously resided in these camps were relocated to Mai-Ayni and Adi-Harush refugee camps in the region as well as to Addis Ababa. A new refugee site (Alemwach) was established in June 2021 in the Northern Gondar Zone, Dabat Woreda of the Amhara region to shelter Eritrean refugees relocated from Mai-Ayni and Adi-Harush refugee camps. The spreading of the conflict in Northern Ethiopia into the Afar region also caused the destruction of the Berhale refugee camp, previously hosting 20,639 Eritrean refugees in the Afar region (UNHCR, 2022d).

Host Communities Except Harari and Sidama regions, the remaining regional states of Ethiopia host hundreds of thousands of refugees in camps and camp-like settlements. Most refugee-hosting areas are found in remote locations bordering major refugee- producing countries such as South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, and Sudan. The great majority of the refugee hosting communities not only share common socio- economic practices but also have similar cultures and ethnicities with refugees from neighboring countries. Despite cultural and ethnic-based commonalities, the overall level of socioeconomic integration between refugees and host communities varies across the refugee-hosting areas in the country due to several factors, including historical and resource- related tensions and perceptions towards refugees.

In most of the refugee hosting regions, there is a huge competition over the meager natural resources between refugees and host communities, which not only depletes the resource base but sometimes results in local-level conflicts. For instance, Gambella's social and political context is exceptionally complicated due to a long history of conflict among groups over land and political power. The presence of refugees is a significant component of these dynamics. Host communities access some services provided within the refugee camps. In some operational areas, refugees have better access to basic and social services than host communities. Relationships between refugees and hosts are generally largely amicable, except in Gambella. In Benishangul-Gumuz and in the Somali Region, incidences of community-wide violent conflict between refugees and hosts are rare. A long history of displacement, shared ethnic identity, and shared cultural ties, along with other structural factors have fostered some solidarity between the groups. Among the major refugee-hosting regions, four regions—Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, and Somali—are designated as “emerging regions,” and Tigray is considered post-conflict.

Four factors mainly drove the need for a new refugee policy. First, the nature of the refugees’ situation in Ethiopia made it difficult to provide sustainable solutions to refugees only through humanitarian assistance and a camp-based approach. Second, the increase in refugees entering the country due to unresolved crises and emerging conflicts from neighboring countries was not accompanied by financial support from the international community.

In 2016, the GoE made pledges to improve the rights and well-being of refugees following the adoption of the New York Declaration and initiation of the CRRF at the UN Summit.

The 2019 Refugee Proclamation made major improvements concerning the rights and obligations of asylum-seekers, and recognized refugees under part four of the proclamation. These include the right to access basic services (education, health, banking, telecommunication, vital event registration), right to work, right to acquire and transfer property, special protection to vulnerable individuals (women, children, refugees with special needs), local integration and naturalization, and right to association, freedom of movement, and access to justice. Subsequently, three directives were implemented to implement refugees’ right to movement and residence outside of camp, right to work, and grievances and appeals handling. The first directive, Directive to Determine the Conditions for Movement and Residence of Refugees Outside of Camps, No.01/2019 (RRS, 2019), was issued to enable refugees to establish residence outside of camp to broaden employment opportunities and achieve self-reliance.

This section discusses the sampling frames of each group. (a) Refugees in Camps The sampling frame for refugee camps is based on UNHCR’s proGRES database. The refugee camps were grouped into three domains based on the concentration of refugees from the three major origin countries: South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea.56 The first sampling stage divided each camp into enumeration areas (EAs). Based on the proGRES database, we created pseudo EAs by taking 150-200 Annex C: Survey Design and Methodology 54 Formerly the Household Consumption and Expenditure Survey and Welfare Monitoring Survey. 55 Prior to the sampling process, the survey team conducted a pre-sampling assessment by visiting the camps to verify on-the-ground conditions. 56 Refugees from Sudan were not included in SESRE as, at the time of sampling, there were less than 50,000 Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia and inclusion was not deemed cost effective.

(b) Refugees in Addis Ababa We used a slightly different approach for refugees in Addis Ababa because of the difficulty of obtaining a reliable, complete list of locations for refugees living there. The refugee sampling frame in Addis was based on UNHCR’s proGRES registration data, sorted by location. The UNHCR list has information about how many refugee households live in each Woreda in Addis Ababa, their contact details, location, and other information. We developed pseudo-EAs from the list by location (sub-city and Woreda); some EAs covered more than one Woreda, and multiple EAs were in a single Woreda.

To minimize the burden of searching for selected refugees, representatives of the selected households were contacted before the survey to ask them to come to a UNHCR center to collect preliminary information, including their current residential address. Since many Eritrean refugees in Addis Ababa had fled from the conflict in Tigray, out- of-camp refugees in Addis Ababa were stratified into two domains: refugees who arrived before the start of the conflict in November 2020, and those who arrived after November 2020.

An EA is a defined area where 100-150 households live in rural areas, while in urban areas, it is an area where 150- 200 households live. The first stage of sampling for the host community involved using simple random sampling to select EAs—the primary sampling unit— from the list of EAs that are adjacent but within a radius of 5km.

To select a representative sample from this population, first, the initial sample size was determined by using the following scientific formula: where the deft is the design factor defined as the ratio between the square root of standard error using the given sample design and the standard error resulting from a simple random sample used. Based on the above scenario, total sample size =3,456 Households, and EAs = 288 .

(e) Challenges faced and lessons learned The SESRE served as a learning experience for including refugees in future rounds of the official household survey (HoWStat). Given the unique feature of refugees compared to Ethiopians, the sampling methodology for the SESRE is unique for sampling refugees. Therefore, SESRE successfully tested the feasibility of sampling refugees and their hosts. To ensure the successful implementation of the sampling procedures, the ESS implemented a pilot sampling methodology before data collection started to ensure that all systems and processes were functioning. The ESS and World Bank teams conducted field visits for this pre-test in Afar and Addis Ababa. The field visits included discussions with camp community leaders, including the refugee community leaders, about the upcoming survey to understand better any sensitivities that may arise. The field visits helped to understand the camp administrative structure and environment of the teams facilitating the camp and to test the accessibility of sampled refugee households inside the camp, in Addis Ababa, and the identification of the host.

The field visits helped to understand the camp administrative structure and environment of the teams facilitating the camp and to test the accessibility of sampled refugee households inside the camp, in Addis Ababa, and the identification of the host. ESS provided detailed feedback on the fieldwork procedures and adjustments made before the fieldwork began. For instance, in Afar (Asayita), the visit helped to identify challenges in tracing sampled refugee households and to take the necessary corrective measures. Likewise, in Addis Ababa, the visit assisted in designing an appropriate strategy to select host communities. The survey created a good opportunity for a collaborative effort between different government institutions and development partners. This collaboration allowed the sharing of experiences across institutions and knowledge for ESS to implement such unique surveys in the future. The survey process, from preparation to implementation, focused on ensuring data quality for refugee data collection. During preparation, ESS translated the survey instrument into different main languages and undertook an in- depth training of supervisors and enumerators for enumerators to understand better the concepts of the questions related to the refugee context.

Moreover, a close follow-up and coordination in the field helped to get better quality data and provided timely responses to challenges faced during data collection. During the survey implementation period, the main challenge was tracking sampled refugee households in all refugee domains. One of the Eritrean camps, Alemwach Camp, was newly established at time of data collection. Tracing the originally sampled and backup households initially took a lot of work. The issue of missing households in Asayita camp was severe during the second data collection phase. Moreover, some camps were very large; for example, there were more than 100,000 refugees in one camp, creating challenges for field workers in tracing the sampled households. Refugees in Addis Ababa live in rented houses; the team faced challenges in tracing some refugees due to changes in their residential locations.

Thus, these challenges required additional effort by the team to ensure that sampled households and replacements were traced, identified, and interviewed. Another challenge was that some refugees were not willing to provide their current location due to personal security reasons, but these situations were resolved by reaffirming the confidentiality of the survey. 58 UNHCR register names starting with last name, whereas, in Ethiopia names starts with first name.

The significantly lower expenditures (food and non-food) among refugees compared to the host population led to higher poverty rates. The team cross-checked the food aid received by in-camp refugees based on administrative data from the UNHCR and WFP with food consumption data from SESRE. The analysis looks at both separately for information provided by UNHCR and WFP. While WFP is not responsible for distributing non-food items such as mattresses, cooking, feeding utensils, etc., UNHCR provides non-food items; maybe mattresses were distributed in Alemwach since it is a relatively new camp. WFP’s food and cash assistance targets all individuals in refugee households. The information received from UNHCR on food aid provided to refugees in each camp includes quantities per food item per month and cash transfers per person per month for each camp and period. The food items include cereal, wheat, maize, rice, sorghum, CSB/famex (CSB+), pulse, biscuit, date biscuit, dates, oil, vegetable oil, salt, and cash (Table E.4).

We have computed the per person per month in-kind aid quantities into annual values using the household size and prices from SESRE and mapped them to the closest food item in SESRE (this was not straightforward as the items are different) considering food ration change periods. The food ration scaling factor is 50 percent vs. 84 percent. Based on this information, we compare how the distribution list shared what refugees should have received to what they reported regarding food consumption. The results show that refugees reported quantities lower than UNHCR food aid admin data for every item except Biscuits.

First, SESRE only asks one aggregate question: “How much on average of your food ration do you sell in the market”? Second, food rations are only received once a month, which may not coincide with the interview date. Yet, SESRE asks about what food they consumed (not even a list of food items), not about food received as aid. Third, refugees might carry over food aid in the future.

A generic 2.5MW turbine with a hub height of 100 m is selected for the purpose of this study.\nGross energy production A gross energy production refers to the theoretical energy production that would be achieved if there was no operational loss. It is calculated by combining the wind regime at a wind turbine location and hub height to the power curve specific to the considered wind turbine type and corrected for local hub height air density. This is done using the software WindPRO.\nSince the energy content of the wind varies proportionally to air density, power curves are adapted accordingly before being used in calculations. The adaptation is done using the new recommended WindPRO method (adjusted IEC 61400-12 method, improved to match turbine control) [6].\nFor this project, air density at hub height is estimated to be 1.154 kg/ m3. Air density is calculated by WindPRO based on the temperature and pressure measurements from the Launakalana mast, located at the site.\nEnergy production losses In addition to energy conversion losses taken into account in the power curve, other losses affect the electrical power expected to be delivered to the grid. The following losses are taken into account in this study and are summarised below.\n• Wake losses: Wake losses are due to the mutual influence of the wind turbines and are calculated using the N.O. Jensen (EMD) : 2005 wake model implemented in WindPRO.\n• Unavailability losses: Unavailability losses are due to downtime of the wind turbines or balance of plant (maintenance or technical incidents) as well as downtime of the power grid.\n• Performance losses: Turbine performance losses are typically due to high wind hysteresis, yaw misalignment, wind flow inclination, turbulence, wind shear and other differences between turbine power curve test conditions.\n• Electrical losses: Electrical losses occur in cables and transformers ensuring electrical transmission to the wind farm substation.\n• Environmental losses: Environmental losses account for the performance degradation of the wind turbines due to environmental conditions.\nThe energy production losses defined in the preceding section are summarized below.\nWake losses\n[%] 0.0 Unavailability losses\n[%] 4.0 Performance losses\n[%] 0.3 Electrical losses\n[%]\n1.5\nEnvironmental losses\n[%] 0.5 Total losses\n[%] 6.1", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "11 Net energy production The expected wind farm energy production figures for a single generic 2.5MW wind turbine at the mast location are as follows: Gross energy production\n[MWh/y] 3,076 Total energy production losses\n[%] 6.1 Net energy production (AEP)\n[MWh/y] 2,887 Net full load equivalent hours\n[h/y] 1,155 Net capacity factor\n[%] 13.2", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "5.4 UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS Some uncertainty components are directly quantified in terms of energy production, whereas some other uncertainty components are first quantified in terms of wind speed, then translated into uncertainties in terms of energy production, by applying a sensitivity factor.

However, no such suitable database with the required quality and resolution is available for the project sites considered in this study.

A generic 2.5MW turbine with a hub height of 100 m is selected for the purpose of this study.\nGross energy production A gross energy production refers to the theoretical energy production that would be achieved if there was no operational loss. It is calculated by combining the wind regime at a wind turbine location and hub height to the power curve specific to the considered wind turbine type and corrected for local hub height air density.

expensive cousin of onshore wind with generation costs in the range of $150 to $200 per megawatt hour (MWh). This changed dramatically between 2016 and 2017 when a series of competitive tenders in Europe witnessed strike prices fall below $100/MWh, culminating in projects that bid into merchant markets with no subsidy at all. As of September 2019, the lowest bid price is just below $50/MWh in the United Kingdom (UK) Contract for Differences Allocation Round 3 including the cost of transmission. [1] Prices have continued to drop thanks to technological improvements, economies of scale, maturation of supply chains, better procurement strategies, and the efforts of large and sophisticated project developers, including several from the utility and oil and gas sectors. However, to date the offshore wind industry has remained largely confined to Europe and China.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "As prices continue to drop, offshore wind is increasingly gaining traction in emerging markets. Projections suggest that offshore wind will add between 7 to 11 gigawatts (GW) per year from 2019 to 2024, reaching between 15 to 21 GW/year from 2025 to 2030. [2] While much of the growth is expected in Europe, China, and new Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) markets including Japan, South Korea, and the United States, there is ample potential for developing countries to ride on this momentum and ramp up their local offshore markets.\n\nThis report presents eight case studies on the technical potential for offshore wind in Brazil, India, Morocco, the Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Vietnam (here, technical potential is calculated on the basis of wind speed and water depth). Considering offshore areas within 200 kilometers (km) of the coast, [3] these eight countries have a total technical potential of approximately 3.1 terawatts, including 1,016 GW of fixed capacity and 2,066 GW of floating capacity (See Table 1).

This suggests that offshore wind can play a transformational role in meeting national goals ranging from expanding electricity access to increasing the mix of renewable resources in the energy mix, all while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals and commitments made under the Paris Agreement.\n\nConverting this potential into actual deployment must take into account country-specific technical, economic, social, and environmental considerations. To effectively harness their offshore wind opportunity, countries must take a “big picture” approach to their grid and port infrastructure development, adopt innovative approaches to financing, establish stable policy frameworks, and cooperate on sensible supply chain development. Further analysis is necessary to develop a complete understanding of potential at the country level, looking at challenges with regards to grid capacity and integration issues, shipping lanes, migratory patterns, impacts on fisheries, and various logistical considerations.\n\n**vi** GOING GLOBAL Expanding Offshore Wind to Emerging Markets", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "**TABLE 1: SUMMARY TECHNICAL POTENTIAL FOR OFFSHORE WIND IN SELECT EMERGING**\n\n**MARKETS WITHIN 200 KM OF COAST**\n\n**Country** **Fixed (GW)** **Floating (GW)** **Total (GW)**\n\nBrazil 480 748 1,228 India 112 83 195 Morocco 22 178 200 Philippines 18 160 178 South Africa 57 589 646 Sri Lanka 55 37 92 Turkey 12 57 70 Vietnam 261 214 475\n\n**Total** **1,016** **2,066** **3,082**\n\nSource: Authors, 2019.\n\nTo assist in this effort, the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), launched a new World Bank Group (WBG) initiative in March 2019 to support the inclusion of offshore wind into the energy sector policies and strategies of WBG client countries and the technical work needed to build a pipeline of bankable projects.

Since 2016, the cost of generation from offshore wind in its European birthplace has rapidly declined to the point where projects are now bidding subsidy-free into competitive tenders. In China, the only non-­European market with significant offshore wind development, the sector is seen as a key element of the country’s plans to reduce the carbon intensity of its grid at a competitive cost. Just like its predecessors—onshore wind and solar PV—it is only a matter of time before offshore wind truly ‘goes global’.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "As offshore wind technology spreads across new geopolitical landscapes and into promising new markets, it will evolve from what is seen in Europe to accommodate local conditions. Fortunately, there is a deep well of lessons learned that can serve to accelerate this transition, allowing emerging markets to achieve cost-competitive, international standard offshore wind projects in a shorter time frame. As a first step toward this goal, the present report looks at the challenges and opportunities faced by offshore wind with a focus on case studies of eight promising markets: Brazil, India, Morocco, the Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Vietnam. Each case study includes an assessment of the country’s technical potential, proximity to demand centers, relevant policies and targets, and how it fits within current and future regional offshore wind markets.\n\nUnderstanding these specific circumstances can help contribute to broader knowledge, influencing the sustainable and functional expansion of offshore wind to emerging markets. It is important to note that further research and active stakeholder engagement are required to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the true opportunities within each market. As such, this report serves as a starting point for policy makers and stakeholders at the local level.\n\n##### **HISTORY**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "When considering offshore wind’s future, it is important to understand where, how, and why the technology first became viable. Europe has been at the forefront of the offshore wind industry since the first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 at Vindeby in Eastern Denmark. Vindeby consisted of 11 ‘marinized’ onshore turbines, each generating 450 kilowatts (kW) for a total capacity of 5 megawatts (MW).\nDismantled in 2017, Vindeby paved the way for offshore wind farms across Europe.\n\nThroughout the 2000s, offshore wind continued to expand in the southern North Sea, Irish Sea, and Baltic Sea. [6 ] These areas feature ideal conditions for offshore wind, with strong winds, average wind speeds over 8 meters per second (m/s) and relatively shallow water depths, less than 50 meters (m). Sixteen years later, the UK is now home to the world’s largest offshore wind industry, with a cumulative capacity of 8.5 GW [7] and the lowest costs in the world.

[14] The speed and magnitude of offshore wind cost declines have led some observers to conclude that in certain European markets offshore wind will become the cheapest form of new generation as early as 2022. Falling prices are driven by a series of factors, including larger and more efficient turbines, bigger wind farms, access to better offshore wind resources, lower cost financing, more developed supply chains, price pressure from competitive tenders, and the emergence of larger, more sophisticated project developers.\n\n##### **TECHNOLOGY**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "The offshore wind sector was built on expertise collected from related industries. In the early 2000s, the UK adopted the then-largest onshore turbines (2 MW) and marinized them for the offshore environment.\nInstallation vessels, specifically jack-up barges, were brought in from the offshore oil industry but had limited capability both in terms of lift capacity and reach. Early projects tended to be very expensive and took longer to build than expected, as developers were unfamiliar with the relatively complex logistical requirements of planning and executing projects in the ocean.\n\nOver time, offshore wind evolved into a distinct, specialized technology. Offshore turbines are now specifically designed to reduce maintenance requirements given the relatively high cost of marine access.\nAt the same time, offshore wind farms are subject to fewer limitations faced by onshore wind, including land use pressures, concerns about views, and transportation/infrastructure constraints. As such, they have evolved to become the largest pieces of rotating machinery on the planet (See Figure 3), capable of generating much higher capacity factors than their onshore cousins.

Equipment of this size and scale would be extremely difficult to site onshore.\n\nBut innovation has not stopped there.

Concurrently, over 80% of these coal power plants in China have been operational for less than two decades ( **Supplementary Fig. 1** ) [2], sustaining employment for over one million workers across both direct and ancillary industries [3] . As a result, the premature retirement of these coal power units presents significant challenges due to concerns regarding stranded assets [4] and the potential displacement of coal power workers [5] . In addition, wind–solar systems lacking dispatchable and flexible coal support are particularly vulnerable to climate-induced variability, thereby exacerbating systemic reliability risks [6] .", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "In response, strategies for retrofitting existing coal power plants to reduce coal emission intensity have been widely discussed. China's 2024 policy guidance flagged three principal retrofit strategies: biomass co-firing, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and green ammonia co-firing [7] . Major research efforts have been pursued toward switching to biomass as an alternative fuel or implementing post-combustion CCS technology [8] [,] [9] . In practice, biomass co-firing, while important, is constrained by limited feedstock availability and combustion compatibility, typically capping substitution ratios below 20% [10] . In contrast, green ammonia synthesized from renewable electricity via electrolysis offers higher co-firing potential, with demonstration-scale tests achieving substitution ratios of up to 35% and beyond [11] [,] [12] .", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "At the same time, ammonia is increasingly recognized as a prospective zero-carbon fuel alternative [13] for diverse applications, including transportation [14] and electricity generation [15] .

Its co-firing in conventional coal-fired boilers has been technically validated, with multiple pilot projects demonstrating its feasibility under operational conditions (see **Supplementary Table 1** ) [17] . According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, declining costs of renewables and electrolyzers could drive green hydrogen below 1 USD·kg [-1] by 2050 [18], bolstering the economic viability of green ammonia for large-scale adoption.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "Existing literature on green ammonia co-firing has largely evolved along two main pathways. The first focuses on experimental investigations of combustion dynamics, flame stability, NOX formation, and ammonia slip under varying co-firing conditions [11] [,] [19] . The second strand, perhaps more relevant to this study, employs techno-economic modeling, focusing on life-cycle assessments [20] and cost optimization under varying assumptions for electrolyzer capital costs, electricity prices, and carbon pricing [20-22] . However, few studies have systematically assessed the decarbonization potential of ammonia retrofits across China's coal fleet [23] . In particular, green ammonia production costs exhibit strong spatial and seasonal variability [24] [,] [25], yet existing literature has not examined spatiotemporal mismatch between production hubs and retrofit-suitable coal power plants. Nor does it quantify economic viability in line with a specific low-carbon emission trajectory.\nMore importantly, these retrofitted coal power plants are largely absent from integrated energy system models, rendering their mitigation potential much less known.\n\nWe thereby seek to develop a spatially explicit modeling framework to evaluate the retrofit potential of green ammonia co-firing across China's 3,983 coal-fired power units ( **Supplementary Fig. 2 and Supplementary Note**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "**1** ).

We then estimate the maximum technical potential of wind and solar energy in each zone, and develop a zone-level cost-optimization model for green ammonia production. The model integrates forward-looking cost trajectories for capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) associated with solar and wind generation, energy storage, nitrogen capture, ammonia synthesis, and electrolysis, projecting the evolution of the levelized cost of green ammonia (LCOA, see **Eq. (3)** ) in each zone from 2020 to 2060.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "Results reveal significant temporal dynamics in green ammonia costs. As compared to the 2020s, should the future cost trajectories of green ammonia production components align with current literature projections ( **Supplementary Table 2** ), the average LCOA would generally decline by over 30% in the 2050s. The largest reductions exceeding 50% expected in provinces such as Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan ( **Fig. 1a** ). In 58% of provinces, over half of the LCOA stems from the CAPEX of variable renewable energy (VRE) infrastructure, cementing the dominant influence of renewable infrastructure investment on green ammonia's cost competitiveness ( **Fig. 1b** and **Supplementary Fig. 3** ). The observed cost declines from 2020 to 2060 are primarily driven by ongoing reductions in the capital costs of solar and wind installations.\n\nBeyond temporal variation, green ammonia production costs display marked spatial heterogeneity. By 2060, major production zones in provinces such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Liaoning, and Jilin, would have a green ammonia production potential exceeding 2.5 megatons (Mt), with levelized costs below 2,000 CNY per ton ( **Fig.**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "**1a** ). These economically favorable and technologically feasible zones closely align with China's designated\ngreen ammonia pilot hubs (orange markers in **Fig. 1a** ; e.g., Ordos, Inner Mongolia).

By contrast, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Hunan, exhibit 15–40% higher LCOA levels than the national average in the 2050s, primarily due to lower VRE capacity factors (see **Supplementary Fig. 4** ) and limited land suitability. These spatiotemporal trends partially aligned with provincial-level estimates from prior studies indicate a growing cost advantage for inland energy bases in North China [26] .

These cost savings are accompanied by a decline in the average distance between coal power plants and their matched ammonia supply zones, from 527 km in the 2020s to 410 km in the 2050s. Two dynamics drive this trend: the retirement of plants distant from low-cost supply hubs, and the convergence in production costs across provinces (see **Supplementary Fig. 5** ), which reduces the marginal benefits of long-distance matching.\n\n**Fig. 2b** illustrates the evolution of four coal-based technologies under distinct policy scenarios and co-firing\nstrategies, as simulated by minimizing coal power generation costs for each unit (only units commissioned by 2025 are displayed herein).

The integration of green ammonia co-firing strategies further displaces coal-fired capacity—replacing pure coal-fired power in the near term and coal-fired power with CCS in the long term. Specifically, the ONS strategy reduces the pure coal-fired power capacity from the NOC strategy of 1,084, 1,084, and 83 GW (2040s) to 929, 824, and 60 GW under Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive policy, respectively, while the GEO strategy achieves a deeper reduction to 409, 190, 60 GW; these displaced coal power units are repurposed for green ammonia co-firing.

In contrast to simply comparing generation costs in isolation, this coal power retrofit-retirement model allows for the early retirement of coal-fired power plants when competing with other power generation technologies (e.g., solar, wind).

The geographic distribution of green ammonia co-firing retrofits exhibits an evident dualcluster pattern. The first cluster emerges in renewable-abundant northern provinces, such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Shanxi, where the co-location of ammonia production and utilization is enabled by abundant solar and wind resources. By 2060, the combined installed capacity of CNE and CNECCS will reach approximately 124 GW in Inner Mongolia, 45 GW in Xinjiang, and 37 GW in Shaanxi.

Much of North China is located near large sedimentary basins, enabling coal-fired power units there to be retrofitted for ammonia co-firing integrated with CCS in later decades and thus avoiding high carbon prices projected under aggressive climate policy scenarios. In contrast, most of South China lacks accessible nearby storage formations, rendering CCS retrofits more costly due to the need for long-distance CO2 transport. As a result, provinces in the South China are more likely to shift toward new wind and solar capacity rather than continue operating ammonia-based retrofitted coal power units. Offshore CO2 storage, while not investigated here, may offer a promising pathway for CNECCS development in southeastern coastal areas.\n\nAt the same time, this geographically dispersed deployment of co-firing retrofits also creates a growing need for inter-regional ammonia transport, particularly from inland production hubs to coastal demand centers ( **Fig.**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "**4b** ). Inner Mongolia emerges as the dominant exporter, projected to deliver more than 100 Mt of ammonia by\n2040—yet its current green ammonia production capacity remains vastly insufficient to meet this coal power co-firing fuel demand—with average outbound transport distances of approximately 570 km. Inner Mongolia’s green ammonia turnover is expected to account for approximately 50% of the national total in the 2030s, rising to 76% in the 2050s ( **Supplementary Fig. 10** ).

For instance, Fan et al.(2023) [8] identify provinces such as Inner Mongolia and Gansu as unsuitable for biomass blending and CCS retrofits, citing constraints in feedstock availability and infrastructure readiness. Our analysis, however, reveals that these regions are among the most promising sites for large-scale solar-wind-based green ammonia production and co-firing retrofitting, uncovering a spatial complementarity between ammonia and biomass pathways that has been largely overlooked. Notably, as core renewable energy hubs, Inner Mongolia and Gansu face an urgent need for flexible, dispatchable power [28] . This is precisely the role that ammonia-blended coal units can fulfill. Looking ahead, greater attention should be given to how the three retrofit options can complement each other spatially and temporally [29] .", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "esmap"} -{"input": "Green ammonia co-firing, however, should not be regarded as a one-size-fits-all solution, but as a geo-targeted option.

In the absence of viable retrofit options, coal power plants in these provinces are unlikely to contribute meaningfully to power sector decarbonization. As such, they should be prioritized for early retirement or reclassified as reserve capacity, rather than being considered for further investment.

Substantial uncertainty in future component costs will introduce potential deviations in projected cost pathways. Our sensitivity analysis (see **Supplementary Note 4** ) reveals divergent uncertainty profiles across technologies: mature options (e.g., onshore wind) show stable projections, while less mature ones (e.g., batteries) exhibit wide variability; LCOA sensitivity also displays marked spatial heterogeneity. These dual cost properties (variability and spatial heterogeneity) critically shape retrofit feasibility and capacity scales.

Candidate coal power plants, in contrast, include two subsets: projects under construction but not yet completed, and units commissioned and operational between 2020 and 2025 (i.e., with a post-2020 commissioning year).

First, the capital expenditure for boiler retrofitting is assumed to be negligible, in accordance with Ref. [21] [,] [42] . This is because ammonia co-firing requires only limited modifications to existing systems [17], mainly involving the addition of ammonia storage and injection modules and fine-tuning combustion controls, without the substantially altering core boiler components [42-44] . Second, boiler efficiency is assumed to remain constant. Although its response to ammonia blending depends on factors such as furnace configuration, ventilation, and coal type, experimental and simulation evidence indicate that efficiency variations are typically within 3% (see **Supplementary Table 10** ). After accounting for turbine and generator efficiencies, the overall impact on plant-level performance falls below 1% and is therefore negligible.\nAccordingly, the model applies a constant boiler efficiency assumption consistent with Ref.

Country Context**\n\n1. **The Kenya economy has continued to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the growth has**\n**slowed down in the last year.** Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 4.8 percent in 2022, a decrease from 7.5\npercent annual growth in 2021, largely due to the weather shocks experienced in the last two years, domestic macroeconomic policies, and challenging global conditions. [1] The economy is expected to grow by 5.0 percent in 2023 and 5.2 percent on average in 2024-2025, higher than the pre-pandemic average of 5.0 percent in 2010-2019. While growth prospects remain optimistic, the economy remains vulnerable to shocks such as drought, rising inflation and food insecurity.\n\n2. **Kenya is highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly extreme floods, and droughts, which has affected**\n**food security for millions of people particularly in the arid and semi-arid north and north-east of the country** . [2] Floods\nare the most significant and frequent climate-related hazard in Kenya making up 40.0 percent of all-natural hazards from 1980-2020. [3 ] Flooding is particularly impactful to communities around Kenya’s lakes and waterways. For example, a 2021 United Nations (UN) report [4] projected climate change induced flooding may cause the expansion of Lake Turkana, displacing communities while impinging on agriculture and livelihoods. Simultaneously, drought is likely to adversely affect the country’s agriculture sector, which is predominantly dependent on seasonal rains and is expected to negatively impact the economy and food security, reversing the gains in health and nutrition outcomes. Since 2015, Kenya has experienced a steady increase in the prevalence of severe food insecurity from 15.0 percent to 26.1 percent. [5] Between July and September 2022, an estimated 3.5 million people (24.0 percent of the Kenya population in arid-and semi-arid counties) experienced acute food insecurity. [6] 3. **For more than three decades, Kenya has been home to a significant population of refugees and asylum seekers.** There are 691,868 refugees and asylum seekers in the country, including in cities such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, and Eldoret, but the majority live in two designated refugee camps [7] - with 320,572 in Dadaab Camp in Garissa County and 271,995 in Kakuma Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement in Turkana County. [8] The two camps are under the management of the Government of Kenya’s Department of Refugee Services (DRS), with support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and humanitarian partners who provide operational support and humanitarian assistance, including primary and secondary health and nutrition services. The Government has demonstrated its commitment to the Global Compact on Refugees by enacting the Refugees Act of 2021, which grants refugees more rights and protections, and by supporting the Shirika Plan, [ 9] which seeks to create integrated settlements where refugees can live, access social services, and work alongside Kenyans.\n\n**B.

[10] Under-five and infant mortalities dropped from 52 and 39 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2014 to 41 and 32 in 2022, respectively, partly due to improved coverage of primary healthcare services and significant progress in malaria and HIV/AIDS response. [11] Despite the number of women delivering under the care of a skilled health worker increasing significantly, challenges remain around neonatal mortality, which is high at 21 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022: a marginal decline from 22 per 1,000 live births in 2014. Similarly maternal mortality remains high at 342 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, [12] suggesting challenges related to quality of care (QoC). Teenage pregnancy declined only slightly from 18.0 percent in 2014 to 15.0 percent in 2022. While the country has recorded improvements in childhood nutrition, 18.0 percent of children aged below 5 years are stunted, a decline from 26.0 percent in 2014. Despite improvements in coverage and utilization of health care services, especially for maternal and child health, geographic and socioeconomic inequities remain. Although 89.3 percent of pregnant women deliver under the care of a skilled health worker, five counties reported skilled delivery below 66.0 percent (Turkana-53.0 percent; Mandera-55.0 percent; Wajir-57.0 percent; Samburu-57.0 percent; Tana River-59.0 percent). Wider gaps are reported for utilization of antenatal care (ANC), with only 32.1 percent of women in Garissa County attending at least 4 ANC visits, compared to 82.2 percent in Nyeri County. Only 53.9 percent of women from the lowest wealth quintile attended at least 4 ANC visits compared to 82.0 percent of women from the highest wealth quintile.\n\n5. **In Garissa and Turkana counties, refugees and their host communities face barriers to healthcare services,**\n**mostly affecting women and children.** Garissa and Turkana counties record the lowest percentages of women receiving\nat least 4 ANC visits (31.2 percent) in 2022 and deliveries by a skilled provider (52.6 percent) respectively. [13 ] In the refugee camps, most health services are provided by UNHCR and non-governmental organizations in collaboration with the Government. The overcrowded conditions, clean water supply shortages and hygiene challenges present heightened risks of communicable disease outbreaks such as cholera. Other recent outbreaks in the refugee camps include polio, dengue fever, and chikungunya. Refugees and host communities have also been affected by prolonged drought in the region and the food security of refugees has been further affected by cuts in the general food assistance. From 2020 to July 2022, there has been a steady and significant increase in malnutrition cases across all refugee camps, with children under 5 years being particularly affected by malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. [14] 6. **The devolution of health service delivery in 2013 has presented mixed results** . Decentralization of responsibility for public sector health service delivery to the 47 county Governments has been accompanied by a 34.0 percent increase in the number of facilities, a 46.0 percent improvement in public health worker density between 2014 and 2020, and many counties have equipped their health facilities to respond to the evolving health needs. County Governments are also exploring approaches to strengthen primary care service delivery through governance and financial management reforms, such as the Facility Improvement Fund. However, county Governments have faced significant challenges in management of human resources for health, ensuring availability of Health Products and Technologies (HPTs), improving quality of care,\n\n[10 World Bank Estimates: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=KE](https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=KE) 11 Kenya Demographic Health Survey, 2022.

[19] 7. **The Government initiated various reforms aimed at strengthening capacity of the National Health Insurance**\n**Fund (NHIF) and the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).** Both institutions play a critical role in Kenya’s universal\nhealth coverage (UHC) agenda. NHIF reforms include changes to governance arrangements, re-engineering business processes, modernization, and realignment of the information and communications technology, modification of provider payment mechanisms and payment systems among others. To fast-track progress towards UHC, the Government introduced four laws in October 2023 (Social Health Insurance Act, Primary Health Care Act, Facility Improvement Financing Act, and the Digital Health Act). Under the new health financing arrangement, all Kenyan citizens and residents will be required to be members of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). Primary health care will be purchased through the primary care fund and financed through tax allocation by the national Government. Additionally, management of chronic illnesses and health emergencies will be through the emergency, chronic and critical illness fund, which will be drawn upon once a member has exhausted their SHIF benefits. The Government is in the process of developing the regulations and implementation arrangements to operationalize these Acts. Key issues in KEMSA relate to: (a) inadequate funding to stock commodities leading to long turnaround times; (b) suboptimal use of information systems in procurement processes; (c) weak business processes; (d) weak governance; (e) weak human resource realignment; (f) outdated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system; and (g) weak credit control systems among others. Significant progress has been made in implementing reforms to address these challenges, however major gaps remain. The World Bank continues to provide technical support, but operational support is required for KEMSA to function efficiently.\n\n**C. Relevance to Higher Level Objectives**\n\n8. **The project is fully aligned with the World Bank’s mission and the Regional priorities** by contributing to increasing the number of people receiving essential health services in Kenya. **The project is strongly aligned with the**\n**World Bank Group’s (WBG) FY23-28 Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Kenya, discussed by the Board of**\n**Executive Directors on November 22, 2022 (Report No. 172255) and Government health sector priorities.** Objective 2 of\nthe CPF aims to “improve public expenditure transparency and efficiency”, a focus of the project. The CPF also aims for “greater equity in service delivery outcomes”, which will be achieved partly through reducing disparities in health outcomes (objective 4). The project is also aligned to objective 6, “increase household resilience to, and national preparedness for shocks”, highlighted in the CPF through the need to increase access to social health insurance, improving access to quality health care services and expanding UHC reforms. In addition, the project will directly contribute to the priorities identified in the Kenya Health Policy 2014-2030, the Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan (KHSSP, 2018-2023), the Kenya UHC Policy (2020-2030), and the Kenya Health Financing Strategy (2020-2030).\n\n15 Waithaka, D., Kagwanja, N., Nzinga, J. et al.

Kenya’s climate policies emphasize key actions which the project supports including: integration of climate change adaptation into county level development planning; improving resilience of vulnerable populations to climate-related shocks; addressing vector-borne disease transmission (malaria, dengue), water-borne disease outbreaks, food insecurity and malnutrition; reducing direct injuries and mortality; and minimizing damage to infrastructure. Further, the Kenya Health Policy (2014) and KHSSP [22] acknowledge the role of climate change in increasing the burden of disease in the country. [23] 10. **The World Bank, following consultation with UNHCR, confirms that the protection framework for refugees** **[24]**\n**continues to be adequate in Kenya for accessing financing from the IDA20 Window for Host Communities and Refugees**\n**(WHR).** Kenya’s treatment of refugees is governed by the Refugees Act of 2021 and is largely in line with the international\nand regional refugee protection standards and Kenya’s commitments under the Global Compact on Refugees. The Act recognizes the rights of refugees to participate in economic and social development and supports refugee inclusion in national and county development planning. In 2023, the second phase of the Kalobeyei Integrated Socio-Economic Development Plan 2 (KISEDP) and the Garissa Integrated Socioeconomic Development Plan (GISEDP) were launched, which highlight the key role being played at the County level to support local solutions that benefit refugees and host communities, including in the health sector. In its IDA20 WHR Strategy Note, the Government identified as a priority supporting social services needs in health and addressing the health priorities outlined in the KISEDP and GISEDP. The Refugee Regulations, to operationalize the Refugees Act of 2021 are in the final stages of development and are due for publication. The regulations will provide clarity in the Act’s operationalization, which will strengthen the protection framework. In September 2023, Kenya gazetted Legal Notice No. 143 of 2023, recognizing refugee identification documents for the purposes of acquiring services provided by the Government, including health. The Shirika Plan, which is currently under development, is a multi-sectoral plan that delineates development solutions that benefit both refugees and host communities through an integrated service delivery approach, building on the KISEDP and GISEDP. The Ministry of Health (MoH) is involved in the Plan’s drafting and this operation will ensure close alignment of refugee health policy priorities and county level implementation.\n\n**II.** **PROJECT DESCRIPTION**\n\n**A.

Funds will be earmarked for the procurement and distribution of HPTs for primary care services (levels 1-3) in all 47 counties during the life of the project. Counties will draw down HPTs from an agreed list, based on their resource allocation as described in sub-component 2.1. To ensure transparency and accountability in the procurement process, an HPT governance committee incorporating key stakeholders will be established. Climate sensitive planning for HPTs distribution will be included; (b) automation of the procurement processes, through rolling out a new ERP system with extended supply chain modules to ensure end-to-end visibility; and (c) strengthening governance and accountability, including development and implementation of an accountability dashboard that provides visibility of the procurement process and distribution of HPTs to various stakeholders. The project will use seasonal data to inform pharmaceutical planning for climate sensitive conditions (e.g., malaria, cholera, anti-diarrheal medicines, etc.). The Directorate of HPTs, MoH will work closely with KEMSA to ensure maximum efficiency in implementation of this sub-component.\n\n16. **Sub-component 1.2: Health financing and quality of care reforms (US$15 million):** This sub-component will support the recently introduced Government UHC reforms, including but not limited to the transition from the NHIF to the Social Health Authority (SHA). Areas of support include development of regulations and implementation roadmaps, design and rationalization of a benefit package, developing a framework for review of the benefit package including strengthening capacity for the health technology assessment, design of business processes and claims processing, stakeholder engagement among others. Additionally, the project will support the MoH to establish/strengthen regulatory bodies and operationalize quality of care reforms for improved strategic purchasing.\n\n17. **Sub-component 1.3: Improve availability and use of quality data for decision making (US$10 million):** This subcomponent will support the Government to improve generation and use of strategic information for decision making, specifically through conducting relevant cross-sectional surveys including, but not limited to, the WHO STEPwise approach to non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factor surveillance (STEPS) survey, and the Household Health Expenditure and Utilization Survey. Climate sensitive planning for surveys will be used and questions on climate and health impacts will be included in the survey to generate relevant data to inform decision making.

HPTs to support NCD screening and treatment will also be included to address the changing burden of disease in Kenya.\n\n- **Implementation of selected interventions in county AWPs.** Funds will be disbursed to each county to\nimplement key interventions, from a positive list of activities, agreed upon with county Governments and prioritized into four thematic areas: (a) strengthening community health services; (b) supporting levels 2 and 3 facility operations and maintenance and functionality of Health Facility Management Committees (HFMC); (c) supporting drivers of quality improvement described in the positive list; and (d) strengthening intercounty coordination and learning. Each year, counties will select and implement interventions from the positive list as part of their AWPs. This approach gives flexibility to counties to choose relevant activities to implement based on their specific needs.\n\n21. **Sub-component 2.2:** **Improving delivery of quality health services in selected counties (US$20 million, consisting**\n**of a US$5 million IDA credit and a US$15 million GFF grant):** This Sub-component will provide additional targeted support\nto 10 under-performing counties lagging on key RMNCAH indicators. All level 2 and 3 health facilities, and selected level 4 health facilities, will receive support to implement high impact and evidenced based RMNCAH interventions within the following 5 priority areas: (a) emergency obstetric care with emphasis on management of post-partum hemorrhage (b) essential newborn care; (c) nutrition services to address stunting among children and anemia in pregnant women; (d) enhance coverage and quality of ANC and PNC, including post-partum family planning; and (e) institutionalization of measures to improve quality of clinical practice by frontline providers. Specifically, the Sub-component will support: (a) dissemination of standards, guidelines, standard operating procedures, and job aides; (b) strengthening capacity of frontline healthcare workers; (c) procurement of relevant essential medicines and commodities; (d) support for relevant Page 14 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) quality of care committees (e.g., the Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) committees); (e) support for quality monitoring activities; and (f) demand generation activities.\n\n22. **Sub-component 2.3: Improving access to and utilization of quality health services in refugee camps and host**\n**communities in Garissa and Turkana Counties (US$40 million):** The Sub-component aims to address the barriers to\naccessing and utilizing quality services in refugee camps and their host communities in Garissa and Turkana counties. More specifically, the Sub-component will support: (a) strengthening community health services; (b) improving availability of essential HPTs for services at levels 1-4 (level 4 is the sub-county hospital); (c) improving the availability of energy efficient diagnostic and medical equipment; (d) training of community enrolled health nurses through the Kenya Medical Training College; (e) recruitment of health workers; (f) strengthening referral systems; (g) climate resilient and energy efficient renovation of health facilities; and (h) support towards management of the transition process of health facilities and health workers to County Governments. Analytical work and capacity support will be provided to the refugee hosting counties and DRS to support county planning and coordination with humanitarian stakeholders in the management of the transition of health services. Both counties will develop AWPs, under the County Integrated Development Plans focusing on the identified areas of support. This will build on counties’ refugee and host communities plans that include health priorities, the KISEDP and GISEDP.\n\n23. **COMPONENT 3: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND EVALUATION (US$10 million):** This Component will support project management activities at national and county level. Key areas of support will include (a) providing operational costs and logistical services for day-to-day management of the project; (b) project monitoring and evaluation activities; (c) environmental and social risk management; (d) stakeholder engagement; (e) fiduciary management; (f) contracting of staff on a need basis; (g) technical assistance and county peer-to-peer learning among others; and (h) development of a climate emergency plan at the national level, which will inform county level actions to reduce the risk of climate change on health service delivery activities. Counties will be encouraged to include relevant climate mitigation actions in their AWPs.\n\n**C. Project Beneficiaries**\n\n24. **The project will benefit all Kenyans;** however, the main beneficiaries are women and children from the poorest population who tend to utilize primary care services more, including refugees and host communities in Garissa and Turkana. The project will provide support to all 47 counties to address key priority areas that impact on primary health care (PHC) and focus on addressing inequities in counties that have poor RMNCAH service coverage and outcomes.\nStrengthened health services will support the needs of about 1.8 million host community members in Garissa and Turkana (100 percent) and more than 590,000 refugees in these counties (100 percent).\n\nPage 15 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698)\n\n**D.

This will be achieved by addressing key health challenges including inefficiencies at KEMSA leading to frequent stockouts of essential commodities at PHC level, inequitable geographic health outcomes, shortages of HRH, parallel health services for refugees with limited county engagement, and suboptimal availability and use of data. By investing in high impact activities the project will contribute towards improving delivery of quality PHC services and evidence-based decision making. The project is anticipated to contribute to increasing utilization of PHC services, quality of PHC services, and strengthening institutional capacity.\nSpecific PDO level indicators are detailed under paragraph 12.\n\n**E. Rationale for Bank Involvement and Role of Partners**\n\n26. **The World Bank has a solid track record in supporting Kenya’s health sector.** Over the years, the World Bank has supported several projects, including two regional operations: the East Africa Public Health Laboratory Networking Page 16 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["key health surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) Project (P171915) and the African Medicine Regulatory Harmonization Project (P155163) to strengthen core public health functions following a harmonized regional approach. The recently completed Transforming Health Systems for Universal Care Project (THS-UCP, P152394) supported the Government to improve access to RMNCAH services, through interventions at the national and county level. The project builds on the lessons learnt from these projects.\n\n27. **The Development Partners for Health Kenya (DPHK) plays a coordination role among development partners**\n**(DPs) and works closely with the MoH to ensure that investments are aligned to Government priorities.** Several DPs are\nsupporting delivery of quality PHC services, as outlined in the Government’s Community Health Strategy (2020-2025). A recent mapping exercise identified 14 DPs supporting various aspects of PHC. However, this support is targeted to only a few counties. To reduce fragmentation of development support, the MoH is working towards ensuring that all partners support implementation of a one health plan, with a joint monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework. Implementation of this project will be aligned to the MoH plan. The World Bank works closely with other DPs to promote coordination and alignment and will continue to do so during project implementation. For example, the World Bank has worked closely with the Government of Denmark, through the Danish International Development Agency (Danida) and the Government of Japan to support the Government’s health financing and UHC agenda. Additionally, the World Bank is collaborating with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to strengthen county capacity to deliver quality PHC services.\n\n**F. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design**\n\n28. **The project design incorporated lessons learned from previous World Bank engagements in the sector and at**\n**the devolved level in Kenya.**\n\n- **Focus on equity.** Amongst the 47 counties, there is variation in the coverage of key primary care services and\nRMNCAH outcomes. For the counties that are lagging, it is critical to provide sufficient and tailored support to achieve meaningful change.\n\n- **Balance standardization of interventions for cross-cutting issues while allowing for flexibility to address county**\n**specific gaps.** There are cross cutting issues that affect most, if not all, counties which can be addressed with a\nstandard package of interventions; however, there are differences amongst the 47 counties which call for a flexible approach to support appropriate, context-specific, and efficient implementation of interventions.\n\n- **Support reforms at national level to facilitate improved implementation of key interventions at county level.**\nWeak information, logistics management and quality assurance systems at KEMSA are a barrier to timely, responsive, and transparent distribution of HPTs to the counties. To improve the availability of selected HPTs, the project will support building-up a buffer stock at KEMSA as well as strengthening of the management information and quality assurance systems.\n\n- **Implementation efficiency.** The design of the project will draw from implementation experience from the THSUCP and other World Bank-financed projects implemented at county level that revealed weaknesses in fiduciary\ncapacity at the county level. Therefore, the project will maintain a project team at the Council of Governors to support and monitor county implementation and limit procurement to the national level.\n\n- **Building on refugee reforms.** The design is informed by and builds on the reforms supported by DRS and UNHCR\nwhich have progressed the integration of refugee health services into county management, including human resource management and the coding of humanitarian managed health services.\n\n**III.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\nPage 17 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698)\n\n**A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n29. **The project will be implemented by multiple entities at both national and county level.** The MoH, through the State Department of Public Health and Professional Standards (SDPHS), will have the overall responsibility of overseeing implementation of the project. A project steering committee chaired by the Principal Secretary (PS) for the SDPHS, and including the PS National Treasury, PS State Department of Immigration and Citizen Services, Chief Executive Officer of the Council of County Governors, and the Solicitor General will advise the project. County Governments will be responsible for implementation of county-level activities under Component 2, with support from KEMSA for procurement and delivery of HPTs to primary care facilities. Counties may conduct procurement on a need-by-need basis for activities in the positive list (for Sub-component 2.2) and Sub-component 2.3. Both KEMSA and county Governments will put in place a management team to oversee project implementation. In refugee camps, implementation will be undertaken by relevant county Governments in close coordination with DRS and UNHCR.\n\n30. **The Project Management Team (PMT) under the MoH, will have overall responsibility for the coordination and**\n**implementation of the project.** The PMT will be headed by the Project Manager who will be responsible for the effective\nfunctioning of the project. The MoH will be required to fully designate and maintain PMT members with appropriate skills, including Component coordinators, safeguards and fiduciary staff, and a M&E officer. The PMT will (a) coordinate the project activities; (b) ensure the financial management of all project activities in all Components; and (c) prepare consolidated AWPs, budgets, monitoring and evaluation, and quarterly and annual financial and technical implementation reports. The PMT will compile reports from each of the 47 counties and all national implementing entities and share them with the World Bank.\n\n31. **Each county will designate and maintain for the project period:** (a) a Project focal point; (b) a head of the unit responsible for procuring HPTs; (c) an environmental specialist; (d) a social development specialist; (e) a monitoring and evaluation specialist; (f) a procurement officer (if required as indicated in the Project Operations Manual); and (g) a project accountant and internal auditor to support project’s financial management functions.\n\n**B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n32. **The M&E approach for the project is aligned with the Government’s procedures and data sources and will**\n**contribute to improved data quality.** All project indicators (a) are a subset of the health sector’s performance indicators\navailable in various data sources including the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS); and (b) will be collected routinely through project reports. The project will support county health sector annual performance data review meetings as well as availability of key surveys under Component 1. Where relevant, at project closure, data from household and facility surveys will be used to complement routine data to measure project achievement of the PDO.\n\n**C. Sustainability**\n\n33. **The project will support priority interventions outlined in the national health strategies to ensure sustainability.** The project will build on existing national systems and structures for implementation and fiduciary arrangements. The Government remains committed to improving delivery of primary healthcare services to advance progress towards UHC, and key project activities are aligned with these objectives. The project implementation entities will be drawn from existing Government structures which will ensure continuity of the expected results beyond the project period.

This project will build on this experience to ensure that project funds do not crowd out Government investments.\n\n**IV.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**A. Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis (if applicable)**\n\n35. **The project will support delivery of core health interventions at primary care level, with a focus on RMNCAH in**\n**selected counties.** RMNCAH remains a major contributor to the high disease burden in Kenya. The country is investing\nheavily in the primary care level, as a foundation for UHC. The Government recently launched a community health program that promotes preventive and promotive health services at the community level. This project is therefore relevant as it is designed to strengthen primary care services, improve quality of care, and reduce inequities in access to health care services. Additionally, these primary care facilities mainly benefit the poor and rural populations; strengthening their capacity will ensure that these facilities are able to provide services to most of the population in the country. It is recognized that without improving the health of the population, Kenya will not realize its aspirations enshrined in the constitution.\n\n36. **There is a strong justification for Government intervention and public financing of PHC services.** By investing at the PHC level, the project will contribute towards laying a strong foundation for the delivery of health services in Kenya.\nFinally, the project is technically sound, and the design considers the respective mandates of the key entities involved in implementation. The project is adequately structured with clear linkages between activities and the results. It focuses on the key challenges facing delivery of essential health services at the primary level and is geared to addressing inequities in access to quality health services.\n\n37. **Investments in PHC show that every US$1 invested in PHC interventions saves up to US$16 in spending on**\n**conditions such as stunting, NCDs, anemia, tuberculosis, malaria, and maternal and child morbidity.** [25] The project aims\nto support investments in improving performance of PHC services at county level to enhance access to high impact interventions. Global evidence shows that investing in RMNCAH has a significant economic impact. Every additional US$1 invested in women’s and children's health translates to US$9 of economic and social benefit. [26] In Kenya, guided by the RMNCAH Investment Framework, priority areas for investment and action have been identified at national and county level. The project will support effective delivery of high impact evidence-based interventions to improve RMNCAH outcomes particularly in low performing counties. Analyses in Uganda [27 ] show the significant savings in integrative approaches to hosting refugees; integrating refugees into national systems, including health and jobs, which have reduced the total costs of supporting refugees by forty-five percent.\n\n25 Mwai D, Hussein S, Olago A, Kimani M, Njuguna D, Njiraini R, et al.

To reduce the risk of climaterelated shocks to the project activities, adaptation measures are integrated within each activity. Under Sub-component\n1.1, the project will support KEMSA to procure buffer stocks of HPTs to ensure timely availability of HPTs and improved\nuptake of health services at the primary care level. To reduce the risk of floods and extreme heat to the buffer stocks, climate-sensitive planning for distribution of HPTs will be supported under the project. Under Sub-component 1.3, climate sensitive planning for surveys will be used and questions on climate and health impacts will be included in the survey to generate relevant data to inform decision making. To reduce the risk of climate shocks to health service delivery in Subcomponent 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 the MoH will prepare a national climate emergency preparedness and response plan which will inform county level actions depending on their locations and anticipated disaster risks. Building rehabilitation under Sub-component 2.3 will include climate resiliency measures to prevent damage from climate shocks.\n\n40. **Mitigation goal and risk reduction measures.** Most activities in the project are on the universally aligned list for climate change mitigation. Minor rehabilitation activities under Sub-component 2.3 will ensure at least 20.0 percent more energy efficiency than standard practice, aligning with the Excellence in Design for Building Efficiencies (EDGE) level 1 building criteria. Sub-component 2.3, will also finance the purchase and installation of solar panels for sustainable health facility electrification, where applicable.\n\n**B. Fiduciary**\n\n**(i)** **Financial Management**\n41. **A Financial Management (FM) assessment has been carried out for the project in accordance with the World**\n**Bank Policy and directives on Investment Project Financing (IPF).** The assessment was carried out on MoH, KEMSA and\nselected counties during project preparation. Based on the assessment conducted, the FM risk of the project is rated Substantial. The implementing entities have adequate experience in managing World Bank financed operations and have complied with key FM deliverables. However, the following key risks are identified: (a) irregularities noted in procurement process for health commodities leading to ineligible expenditures; (b) issues on long-outstanding imprests; (c) inaccuracies on financial reporting due to use of manual system for financial reporting at the MoH; (d) inadequate budget allocations which has been hindering implementation of activities; and (e) weak financial management in some counties - among them delays in transfers of funds from the county revenue fund account to a dedicated special purpose account for health, commingling of funds at some counties, frequent transfers of staff without adequate handover leading to disruptions of financial reporting for the project, long-outstanding imprests, and errors in financial reports.\n\n42. **Mitigation measures have been incorporated in the project.** The project will inherit various strengths of the country’s public financial management system and the experience gained in the implementation of the other World Bank financed projects. The following measures have been incorporated: (a) the Office of the Auditor General will provide oversight of project resources and conduct the role of an independent integrated fiduciary review agent; (b) the Chief Finance Officer, MoH will liaise with the PMT to ensure adequate budget allocation; (c) the World Bank will organize a training to sensitize PMT staff on World Bank FM requirements. The internal audit at MoH will provide regular reviews and recommendations for continued strengthening of internal controls at national and county levels; (d) all implementing entities under MoH will be required to sign memorandums of understanding clearly highlighting the requirements for a Page 20 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) separate bank account, financial reporting, and other financial management requirements; and (e) preparation of a POM with a detailed FM section to address FM aspects of the proposed project.

The PPSD will form the basis for preparation of the Procurement Plan (PP), providing justification for procurement decisions including the selection methods and market approaches. The PP has been prepared for the first 18 months of project implementation and will be updated at least annually, or as required, to reflect the actual project implementation needs.\n\n45. **Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP):** The project will use STEP, the World Bank’s online procurement planning and tracking tool to record all procurement actions including planning, updating, and clearing PP and seeking and receiving World Bank’s review and No Objection to procurement actions as needed and establish benchmarks, monitor delays, and measure procurement performance.\n\n46. **Profile of Procurement Activities:** The key procurements of the project comprise of (a) Goods: purchase of buffer HPTs stock in KEMSA; Procurement and distribution of HPTs; (b) Non-consulting services: Upgrade of ERP system at KEMSA; (c) Works: Renovation of works under Component 2.3; and (d) Consulting Services: institutional reforms, key health surveys; project monitoring and evaluation activities; environmental and social safeguards related activities; fiduciary management, contracting of staff on a need basis; technical assistance etc.\n\n47. **National Procurement Procedures:** The country’s own procurement procedures may be used when approaching the national market as agreed in the procurement plan. When the Borrower uses its own national open competitive procurement procedures as set forth in the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 (revised Edition 2022) and the attendant Regulations 2020 such arrangements shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.3-5.6 of the Procurement Regulations. The other national procurement arrangements (other than national open competitive procurement), that may be applied by the Borrower shall be required to be consistent with the requirements set out in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 d as appropriate of the Procurement Regulations.\n\n48. **Institutional Arrangements for Procurement:** The MoH will be the implementing agency responsible for procurement activities at the national level, while KEMSA will be responsible for procurement and distribution of HPTs to primary care facilities. Counties will also conduct procurement on a need-by-need basis under Sub-components 2.2 and 2.3, based on their AWPs. All entities have gained significant experience in implementing World Bank-financed projects.\nThe MoH and the 47 counties implemented a Bank-financed THS-UCP using Procurement Guidelines in the period 20162023. Furthermore, the MoH and KEMSA have been implementing the World Bank-financed COVID-19 Health Emergency Response Project (CHERP, P173820) since 2020 using Procurement Regulations. Implementation of these Bank-financed operations have enhanced and continue to strengthen the agencies’ institutional procurement capacities in implementing Page 21 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["key health surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) World Bank-financed projects. The procurement decision making process will utilize the internal institutional structures of the MoH, KEMSA and the counties.\n\n49. **Procurement Capacity Assessment:** The MoH’s, KEMSA’s and counties’ procurement capacities to implement the project have been assessed and confirmed at project appraisal stage to be reasonably adequate to implement the envisaged project procurements. The MoH, KEMSA and counties have previous institutional experiences in implementing World Bank-financed projects. The MoH and KEMSA have qualified procurement staff who have experience in the application of the Bank’s Procurement Regulations. Subject to addressing the key risks identified in the next paragraph, the MoH, KEMSA and counties are assessed to have reasonably adequate capacity to execute the envisaged profile of procurements under the project.\n\n50. **Procurement Risk Assessment and Management:** Based on the current assessment conducted for this Project the MoH, KEMSA and counties as the implementing agencies, the overall residual procurement risk rating is “Substantial”.\nThe procurement risk rating for THS-UCP and CHERP is “Substantial”. The risk ratings have been reviewed and confirmed at project appraisal stage. The assessment applied the five risk factors of the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System Risk Framework that may affect the overall project implementation. The key risks identified include the frequent transfers of procurement staff, inadequate number of experienced procurement staff assigned to the project procurement activities, inadequate capacity and delays in preparation of project procurement requirements and readiness activities, lengthy administrative processes in evaluation of proposals/bids and contract awards, insufficient preparation of procurement records and delayed upload of records in STEP, inadequate inspection, testing and acceptance procedures and limited contract management capacity. To mitigate the identified risks, the MoH, KEMSA, and counties will deploy additional qualified and experienced procurement and relevant technical staff to enhance procurement capacity and retain them for the project period, provide focused training on procurement and contract management and streamline their internal procurement processes to minimize procurement delays. The World Bank will provide regular and targeted capacity building on procurement and contract management to MoH and other implementing agencies and monitor the performance of fiduciary systems for smooth project implementation.\n\n51. **Record Keeping and Asset Management:** All records pertaining to the procurement and contract management activities including contract monitoring and payment records and contract completion will be retained by the implementing agencies in procurement files for each procurable activity in accordance with requirements of the financing agreement and uploaded in the STEP system on a timely basis. The MoH will also ensure that all inventory, stores, and assets procured are received by respective beneficiary counties, taken on charge, and used by the counties for intended purposes.\n\n**C.

Environmental and Social**\n\n52. **The project’s Environmental and Social (E&S) Risk has been classified as Moderate.** The project has a national scope where Component 1 and Sub-component 2.1 are being implemented across all 47 counties in Kenya while Subcomponent 2.2 (improving delivery of quality primary care services in selected counties) will be executed in selected counties. The project also targets refugees and refugee host communities in Turkana and Garissa counties (subcomponent 2.3).\n\n53. The project’s key environmental and social risks and impacts based on the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESSD) which is detailed in the Appraisal Environmental and Social Review Summary (A-ESRS) include: (a) occupational health and safety risks; (b) air, soil and water pollution from solid, liquid and hazardous waste; (c) increased generation of medical waste; (d) exclusion of other vulnerable groups such as indigenous people meeting the criteria in Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS7), persons with disability, and women from project benefits under Component 1 and 2; (e) sexual exploitation and abuse/sexual harassments (SEA/SH) which is rated Moderate; (f) community health and safety risks such as the transmission of communicable diseases, including HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, due to interactions among project workers and between the project workforce and local communities despite low risk due to minimal civil works in the project; (g) security related risks associated with counties in the north and northeastern part of the country that may affect project personnel associated with implementation of project; and (h) improvement in access to healthcare to the project host population’s, vulnerable and marginalized groups including refugees and host communities.\n\n54. **The ESS relevant to the Project are ESS 1,2,3,4,6,7 and 10.** Based on the E&S risks and the relevant standards, the project has prepared and consulted on the following framework documents between October 26 to 30, 2023: (a) Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF); (b) Medical Waste Management Plan (MWMP); (c) Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP); (d) Labor Management Procedures (LMP); (e) Vulnerable Groups Planning Framework (VGPF); and (f) Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP). The project has also prepared a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) as part of the SEP to be adopted and implemented under each of the sub-project activities. The ESS standard documents have been disclosed in-country on December 5, 2023, and the World Bank’s website on December 6, 2023.\n\n55. **Citizen Engagement.** The project will ensure citizen engagement [28 ] in the design and implementation of the project. A SEP was prepared as part of project preparation. Under the Project, stakeholders including healthcare providers for level 1-3 facilities, the refugees, and refugee host communities will be engaged through the guidelines prescribed in the project’s Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). The project will leverage the GRM developed under the CHERP and THSUCP to collect community complaints about all project-related services, following guidelines in the SEP and involve DRS in host community and refugee areas to ensure the applicable GRM is practical and can effectively mitigate any conflicts among refugees and between refugees and host communities. Community health units (CHUs) will also be encouraged to sensitize their catchment area on the different avenues to channel complaints and engagement with refugee community health workers in Dadaab and Kakuma/Kalobeyei will also be supported. In addition, under Component 1, the project will support the development of an accountability dashboard as part KEMSA support. This will give the community more visibility on the HPTs procurement and distribution processes.\n\n28 Citizen engagement (CE) here means a two way-interaction between the state and stakeholders that gives stakeholders a stake in decision making with the objective of improving development outcomes.\n\nPage 23 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) 56. **Gender.** A gender gap analysis has identified disparity in access to ANC services in a subset of counties, which can lead to disproportionate health outcomes for mothers and newborns. This is largely due to demand side barriers, including limited awareness of the availability and benefits of attending ANC visits, as well as supply side barriers including stockouts of essential health products and technologies and non-adherence to maternal health standards of care. The project will address this gender gap by: (a) encouraging counties to include ANC as a topic for all CHUs dialogue days with the community; and (b) supporting ANC service delivery described under Sub-component 2.2, and support for procurement and distribution of ANC related HPTs under Sub-component 2.1. A sub-indicator measuring the percentage of pregnant women attending four or more ANC visits in the selected counties where coverage has been lower is included in the results framework as a PDO level sub-indicator, to monitor how this gender gap will be closed.\n\n**V.** **GRIEVANCE REDRESS SERVICES**\n\n57. **Grievance Redress.** Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a project supported by the World Bank may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance mechanisms or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Accountability Mechanism (AM). The AM houses the Inspection Panel, which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures, and the Dispute Resolution Service, which provides communities and borrowers with the opportunity to address complaints through dispute resolution. Complaints may be submitted to the AM at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the attention of Bank Management and after Management has been given an opportunity to respond.

While the project involves many implementing entities, the potential risks will be mitigated by strengthening coordination through the Council of Governors, rationalizing the distribution of HPTs, limiting project activities to a “positive list of interventions” in the majority of the counties, and providing technical assistance and fiduciary support to the 10 selected counties, including the two counties that host refugees. Furthermore, the project will work in close collaboration with UNHCR and other implementing agencies providing services to the refugee population.\n\n59. **Macroeconomics risk is rated Substantial.** Although Kenya’s medium-term economic prospects remain optimistic, the ongoing shocks, including prolonged drought, continued turbulence in the global economy and rising inflation and associated increases in the prices of commodities are creating challenges for Kenya to sustain economic recovery. So far, the macroeconomic risks have not had an adverse impact on the financing of the sector; however, the possible impacts on project implementation will be regularly monitored and discussed with the Government. Recently, the Government passed new health financing laws with the potential to impact the project. The Primary Health Care, Facility Improvement Financing and Social Health Insurance Acts of 2023 will establish several funds to be managed by the SHA, while giving public health facilities greater financial autonomy. The transition will include making health insurance mandatory, increasing contribution rates to 2.75 percent for those in the formal sector, introducing income rated contributions for Page 24 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nBuilding Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (P179698) the informal sector, changes in the benefit package, claims management processes and provider payment systems, among others. The transition process from the NHIF to SHIF, if not carefully implemented, poses a risk that may affect overall health system performance. The project is designed to support the Government to implement some of the new reforms, which will help mitigate the potential risks. To mitigate risks associated with flooding, KEMSA will develop and use a risk calendar in the distribution of HPTs.\n\n60. **Fiduciary risk is rated Substantial.** Based on an assessment carried out on MoH, KEMSA and selected counties, the FM risk of the project is rated “Substantial”. The implementing entities have adequate experience in managing World Bank financed operations and have complied with key FM deliverables. However, the following key risks are identified: (a) irregularities noted in procurement process for health commodities leading to ineligible expenditures; (b) issues on longoutstanding imprests; (c) inaccuracies on financial reporting due to use of manual system for financial reporting at the MoH; (d) inadequate budget allocations which has been hindering implementation of activities; and (e) weak financial management in some counties. FM risk mitigation measures are described in paragraph 42. The overall residual procurement risk rating is “Substantial”. The key risks identified include the frequent transfers of procurement staff, inadequate number of experienced procurement staff assigned to the project procurement activities, inadequate capacity and delays in preparation of project procurement requirements and readiness activities, lengthy administrative processes in evaluation of proposals/bids and contract awards, insufficient preparation of procurement records and delayed upload of records in STEP, inadequate inspection, testing and acceptance procedures and limited contract management capacity.\nProcurement risk mitigation measures are described in paragraph 50.\n\n61. **Other risks, defined here as refugee protection, are rated Substantial.** While offering a range of benefits to refugee protection in Kenya, there are a range of resourcing, operational, policy and context specific challenges in the implementation of the Refugee Act 2021 that could be addressed to ensure full compliance with the relevant provisions of the 1951 Refugee Convention. There are protection risks regarding: delays and a backlog in the processing of refugee status determinations, the freedom of movement and residence, as well as a lack of simplified access to work permits and documentation. Security challenges and social cohesion risks linked to equitably accessing health services present a substantial risk across refugees and host community members. These risks will be managed through policy dialogue with Government led by the DRS, and joint engagement with relevant agencies such as UNHCR and other stakeholders supporting the development of the Shirika Plan and the development of the Refugee Regulations. In addition, the World Bank, in collaboration with the DRS and UNHCR, will undertake periodic reviews of Kenya’s refugee protection, policy and institutional environment under its Refugee Policy Review Framework.\n\nPage 25 of 43", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index,

The project budgeting will be done in accordance with existing Government procedures.\nThe budget shall be based on the Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB) developed by the MoH including activities to be carried out by Counties and KEMSA. The project planning and budgetary process shall be implemented in accordance with the standard Government fiscal year which begins on 1st July of each financial year as provided for by the Public Financial Management Act 2012 and the Government Financial Regulations and Procedures. These will form the basis for defining the project activities and ensuring that sufficient funds are allocated to achieve the agreed results. There are possible challenges on inadequate budget allocations in the printed estimates at MoH which may delay implementation of project activities. Coordination timing of the Government budgeting activities/calendar across the two project levels (National and County) may be a challenge. The Chief Finance Officer at MoH will be tasked to liaise with the PMT to ensure there is adequate budget provided **.** 3. **Accounting and Staffing.** All implementing entities including the participating counties will be required to designate project finance staff with adequate qualifications and experience to ensure project financial processes are well coordinated, including preparations of financial reports for the project. The proposed staff will be reviewed and cleared by the World Bank as an effectiveness condition. The MoH maintains projects’ books of account using the integrated financial management information system (IFMIS) and manual ledgers. There will be comprehensive start-up workshop where finance staff of the implementing entities will be sensitized on FM requirements for the project to build capacity on managing the project. Additional training will be provided on a need basis during project implementation.\n\n4. **Internal Control and Internal Audit.** The project expenditure initiation, authorization and payments will be in line with PFM Act 2012 and PFM regulations (2015) of Kenya as elaborated and customized in the FM manual. Project work plans will be integrated into the internal audit work plans. Internal Audit reports covering project activities will be shared with the World Bank on a semi-annual basis (i.e. 30 June and 31 December). Regular internal audit, implementation support, monitoring and reporting will be undertaken.

Kenya’s topography is highly diverse including varied formations of plains, escarpments, and hills, as well as low and high mountains which has an influence on varying climatology and related climate vulnerability across the country. Kenya’s mean annual temperature is 24.3°C, with average monthly temperatures between 22°C in the coolest months (July/August) and 25.6°C in the warmest months (February/March). The mean annual temperature across Kenya is projected to increase by 1.0°C in the 2030s, 1.7°C in the mid-century and 3.5°C by the end of the century, with rapid warming in the northern and coastal parts of the country, intensifying droughts, heat waves with impacts on heat health risks, and food insecurity and malnutrition. The mean annual precipitation (1901-2020) is 668.6mm and is projected to remain highly variable and uncertain, with an increase in average rainfall in the 2050s with increased extreme rainfall events (frequency, intensity, duration) triggering floods and landslides with implications for vector-borne disease transmission, water-borne disease outbreaks, direct injuries, and mortalities; and impacts on health infrastructure. Floods and droughts are the most significant and frequent climaterelated hazards accounting for 40.0 percent and 10.0 percent respectively of all-natural hazard occurrences in Kenya between 1980-2020.\n\n2. **Climate change has significant impacts on health in Kenya** . Food insecurity and malnutrition remain high particularly in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands of Kenya. Increased precipitation variability and related prolonged droughts and erratic rainfall induced floods are posing significant impacts on food security, driving hunger and malnutrition in the country and projected increases in temperature and decrease in precipitation will worsen food insecurity and associated malnutrition in the country by the 2030s and 2050s. Three consecutive years of below than average rains, prolonged drought and erratic rains have significantly reduced crop yields and livestock productivity leaving 17.0 percent (2.8 million people) facing acute food insecurity, and 940,000 children 6-59 months and 145,000 pregnant or lactating women acutely malnourished. [29] Furthermore, warming temperatures and precipitation variability are already increasing vector-borne disease transmission risk (especially for malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, chikungunya, yellow fever, rift valley fever) in the country. For instance, in Kenya, malaria is a major cause of death and disease with an estimated 3.5 million cases and 10,700 deaths each year; with 31 million people at risk in the endemic Lake Western, Nyanza and Coastal regions. [30] [31] Projected increasing temperatures and rainfall variability are predicted to increase habitat suitability and seasonal transmission in traditionally low malaria risk areas such as the Central highlands and Nairobi. Women, children, and pregnant mothers, particularly those from poor households and in rural areas are the most vulnerable to malaria. Climate change is also exacerbating water-borne diseases especially diarrhea and cholera outbreaks in Kenya. Flash floods are overwhelming sewage systems contaminating drinking water sources and prolonged droughts are reducing the quantity and quality of water and compromising the functioning of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene infrastructure even in health facilities. In the aftermath of heavy rains during March-May 2018, flooding across the country led to a major increase in cholera outbreaks of 5,470 cases and 78 deaths in 19 counties with over 700 cases in Turkana and Garissa Counties. [32] [33] Floods, storms, landslides, and extreme heat threaten the functioning of health infrastructure and hinder health service delivery and access especially in flood prone Coastal regions, Tana River region, the Lake Victoria Basin, and rural remote areas of the country.\n\n29 Kenya: IPC Acute Food Insecurity and Acute Malnutrition Analysis (July 2023 - January 2024) 30 https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/malaria_worldwide/cdc_activities/kenya.html 31 Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey, 2020.\n32 Kenya Humanitarian Situation Report. 31 December 2018.\n33 MSF responds to cholera outbreak amid heavy rains and flooding.

Country Context**\n\n1. **Driven by double-digit growth in the 2000s, Azerbaijan became an upper middle-income**\n**country in 2009. This growth led to a dramatic decline in poverty from 49 percent of the**\n**population in 2001 to 4.8 percent in 2019, before rising slightly to 6.2 percent in 2020** . Rapid\ngrowth helped finance social programs and public investments in infrastructure and improve the well-being of the population. In recent years, dependency on natural resources has been associated with slower economic growth, suggesting that more stable growth could be achieved by focusing on nonhydrocarbon sectors and by building a more diversified asset base of human, physical, and natural capital.\n\n2. **Triple shocks in 2020 - the COVID-19 pandemic, a collapse in energy demand and prices,**\n**and resumption of the armed conflict with Armenia – hit Azerbaijan’s economy, with GDP**\n**contracting by an estimated 4.3 percent in 2020.** Growing concern for climate change and\nenvironmental sustainability also raises questions about the resilience of Azerbaijan’s economy.\nIt has become more evident that the growth model that enabled Azerbaijan to achieve its status of upper middle-income country cannot sustain similar growth trends into the future.\n\n3. **As Azerbaijan positions itself for the next phase of its development process, many of**\n**the issues related to the transformation are being recognized and addressed in the** _**Azerbaijan**_\n_**2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development**_ **.** Government of Azerbaijan (GoA) is pursuing economic, social and structural transformation through a series of reforms that address some of its longstanding challenges.\n\n4. **In September 2020, conflict reignited between Azerbaijan and Armenia, leaving**\n**thousands of casualties and tens of thousands of people displaced across both countries.** After\nsix weeks of fighting, the President of Azerbaijan, the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Russia signed a joint Statement on November 10, 2020. While this Statement brought an end to the spike of confrontation, the situation on the ground remains far from resolved. Fighting flared up again between the two countries in September 2022 yet there continue to be advances in negotiations towards a peace agreement.\n\n5. **As of July 1, 2021, Azerbaijan is included in the WBG list of Fragile and Conflict-Affected**\n**Situations (FCS), as a country affected by high-intensity international conflict.** The 2020 World\nBank Group Strategy on Fragility and Conflict highlights the importance of supporting FCS countries and the complex challenges they face with tailored approaches, policies and instruments. In the case of Azerbaijan, this includes tailored engagement in support of postconflict recovery and reconstruction.\n\nPage 7 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125)\n\n**B. Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n6. **The breakup of the Soviet Union and conflict over the Karabakh region in the early 1990s**\n**severely affected the lives of people in Azerbaijan.** As a result of this conflict approximately oneseventh of Azerbaijan’s population was displaced – approximately 600,000 persons from\nKarabakh and surrounding regions of Azerbaijan became internally displaced persons (IDPs) and settled across other regions of Azerbaijan. The situation of displacement has lasted almost 30 years. Since then, the GoA has made significant investments in housing, social benefits, and livelihood programs for these IDPs in the different parts of the country where they settled, including through the World Bank-financed _IDP Living Standards and Livelihood Project (“LSLP_ _Project”)_, over 2011-2019. IDPs remain among the most vulnerable social groups in Azerbaijan: over 40 percent reside in either ‘collective centers’ or other temporary housing with substandard living conditions, many of them far from social and economic centers, and with lower access to basic services, skills, land, and assets.\n\n7. **Over the past twenty years, the State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and IDPs (SCRI),**\n**via the State Fund for Development of IDPs (SFDI) including through World Bank support, has**\n**implemented community-based activities for IDPs and host communities** . These have included:\n(i) community mobilization, (ii) implementation of small infrastructure projects such as construction and renovation of housing, roads, schools, hospitals, community centers, and water supply, as well as (iii) a series of livelihood activities focused on youth beneficiaries such as business and vocational training, establishment of income generation groups, provision of assets and equipment for starting a business, and micro-credit with the support of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ). Through evaluation of its support, the Bank has identified a range of lessons that can be applied to the design of future interventions in support of IDPs in Azerbaijan.\nMoreover, through these programs and via the local government representatives (Ex Coms) of IDPs, the SCRI has remained in close contact with IDP communities and developed operational expertise in implementing programs for IDPs. Since the closure of the latest World Bank project in December 2019, however neither SFDI nor the SCRI have a steady stream of funding for livelihood support activities.\n\n8. **With the clarification of land control in some areas specified in the 2020 joint statement,**\n**there are emerging opportunities for people to return to their places of origin.** The Government\nof Azerbaijan has established a policy called “The Great Return” and has already relocated 66 households to a newly-constructed “smart village” in the village of Aghali in Zangilan district as of July 2022 with plans for resettling a total of 200 households in the village. However, it is clear that further movement of displaced people will take time for various reasons, including ongoing border clarifications and safety concerns due to the presence of land mines in the conflictaffected areas. As such, there is a need to address the needs of IDPs who remain poor and Page 8 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) vulnerable due to their long-standing situation of displacement and who may not have an opportunity to return to their places of origin for some time.\n\n9. Since November 2021, the World Bank has been providing analytical and technical assistance to the Government through a State and Peacebuilding Fund-financed, Bank-executed grant called _Support for Peacebuilding and Recovery in Azerbaijan_ . This grant has financed analytical work that aims to inform a policy dialogue between the Bank and SCRI, including a survey of IDPs which focused on understanding the current livelihoods, service delivery, and social inclusion, and future aspirations; and a lessons learned paper on livelihood activities for IDPs. As IDPs are just beginning to return to liberated areas, it is a critical time for the Bank to engage with GoA on a policy dialogue as the steps that are taken now will have long-lasting effects. The Bank will mobilize its growing knowledge and experience in addressing the challenges of forced displacement to support the Government. In addition to the analytical work undertaken, activity under the SPF grant also includes support for the Joint Recovery Needs Assessment (JRNA) for Fizuli, Agdam and Jabrayil, and just-in-time advice to the Office of Special Representative (OSR) of the President to the Karabakh Economic Region on issues including management information systems, local governance, and smart city development. Preparation of the JRNA will benefit from the knowledge gained through the proposed Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons (ILIDP) Project and the OSR will benefit from the Project as well given their role in facilitating the sustainable return of IDPs.\n\n10. **The IDP survey and lessons learned paper on livelihoods described above have informed**\n**the design of the proposed project by summarizing the current living conditions of IDPs as well**\n**as lessons from implementation of previous livelihood programs** . Though both studies are in\nthe process of being finalized, they have provided valuable inputs to the design of this project.\nThe study of lessons from other livelihoods and job training programs revealed the need for close support for training participants to ensure the sustainability of their achievements. This has resulted in the incorporation of mentors into the project design from the time of project launch through completion and an emphasis on community-based support to address the unique context of each IDP settlement. The household survey found that 22 percent of household members are unemployed and 30 percent of respondents are looking for work. There remains a reliance on state support with 90 percent of respondents receiving an IDP allowance. To address their income generation needs, respondents identified various skills they would like to acquire with males wanting to have skills in the agriculture/fishery, automotive and land transport, and construction sectors while women preferred garments/sewing, health care and community development. While the data collected through the survey on job and skills provides useful benchmarking information, more localized labor market surveys will need to be undertaken to identify targeted opportunities in the communities where IDPs are living to support livelihoods that provide greater incomes over sustained periods.\n\nPage 9 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Joint Recovery Needs Assessment"], "descriptive_data": ["IDP survey", "survey on job and skills", "survey of IDPs"], "vague_data": ["household survey", "localized labor market surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) 11. **Findings from the IDP survey reveal limitations in IDP civic engagement and social**\n**cohesion.** There is a very low level of IDP participation in social activities in their communities\nsuch as youth and women’s groups, cultural activities, agricultural or entrepreneurship activities.\nOnly eight percent of respondents participate in such activities. Forty two percent of respondents said that they either do not know where to, or would not want to, lodge a complaint or make a request regarding the delivery of services. In terms of social cohesion and community integration, 61 percent of respondents said that they felt well integrated into their village/city and only 40 percent felt that if someone in their family was in an emergency, they could count on support of their community. While the survey did not collect comparative data for non-IDPs, these findings indicate that the unique living conditions of IDPs may limit their participation in community-based activities and lead them to feel less well-supported by their communities. This may be a significant challenge for people who are returning to their places of origin as these places are less likely to have established local governance arrangements. Given that these are essentially newly created villages and cities, they will take time to operate effectively, posing challenges for the returnees. In order for these new settlements to succeed, there will need to be active engagement of residents to identify and to help resolve challenges that arise. By participating in local decision-making processes and social organizations, IDPs can contribute to improving living conditions in their places of origin upon return and facilitating a smoother transition through more actively engaging.\n\n**C. Higher Level Objectives to which the Project Contributes**\n\n12. **The proposed project activities will contribute to the World Bank Group’s Azerbaijan**\n**Country Partnership Framework (CPF) FY16 – FY20, Focus Area 1, Public Sector Management**\n**and Service Delivery, Objective 1.2: Support access to, and satisfaction with, public services** .\nWhile the CPF period concluded in FY20, its focus and priorities remain relevant as the process of preparing a new CPF moves forward. The CPF specifically states that it will build on successful engagement in selected areas of public services and applying global knowledge and expertise, by contributing to the agenda of improved service delivery through support to increased coverage of the most vulnerable, specifically IDPs to sustain their livelihoods.\n\n13. **The proposed project will also contribute to World Bank FCV Strategy (2020 – 2025)**\n**Pillar 3. Helping Countries to Transition out of Fragility** . The FCV Strategy highlights the\nimportance of WBG focus on strengthening the capacity and legitimacy of core institutions, renewing the social contract, and supporting livelihoods and economic development including through private sector development and entrepreneurship. Financing from the World Bankadministered State and Peacebuilding Fund (SPF) for the proposed project would be a reflection of World Bank support to Azerbaijan as part of the FCV Strategy.\n\nPage 10 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["IDP survey"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125)\n\n**II.** **PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES**\n\n**A.

Project Beneficiaries**\n\n14. **The main beneficiaries will be members of IDP households that meet the selection**\n**criteria set under the proposed project** . While there are no age limitations to be eligible for\nparticipation, beneficiaries are expected to be mostly youth and middle-aged persons as they may have more flexibility to participate in and benefit from the short-term training offered by the project and the kinds of employment and business opportunities this would lead to.\n\n15. **The geographic coverage of participation will be largely open to eligible participants**\n**wherever they may be residing in the country** . There will be an effort to ensure distribution of\nparticipants across the four main regions where they are residing, with a majority residing in the Southern Region and Baku, Sumgayit, Absheron Peninsula Region, but also to concentrate on specific locations in each Region where demand is high. Distribution of support across fewer settlements will be more cost-efficient and allow for more intensive support to beneficiaries. If demand is high across and range of locations, efforts can be made to mobilize additional financial resources to meet this demand. Just as these coverage areas reflect the current residence of target beneficiaries, project activities will take place in areas under the control of the government prior to the 2020 conflict with the exception of consultations to be conducted in the newly reestablished villages of Aghali in Zangilan District, Talish in Terter District, and potentially other villages where the lessons of resettlement would help to inform livelihood support to IDPs.

Project Components**\n\n19. **Component 1: Skills development.** This component will support IDPs who are interested in pursuing business/employment opportunities to obtain specialized skills to improve their incomegenerating potential through enrollment in vocational training and apprenticeships to be followed by job acquisition and business skills support under Component 2. There will be two, staggered rounds of participant intakes, each with at least 260 students. Implementation of the component will begin with SCRI utilizing its networks in IDP communities to organize meetings with representatives of ExCom, municipalities, CSOs, communities and other relevant bodies in target areas, to advertise the project and to solicit applications. Local governments will be trained so that they can advise potential applicants on the eligibility criteria and how to apply for project support. SCRI will also recruit mentors who will provide ongoing support throughout the duration of the project, beginning with hands-on support to applicants in filling out applications and advising on career options. Special efforts will be made to reach out to persons with disabilities to enable them to apply for participation in the project and to identify suitable business and/or job opportunities. Each mentor will be responsible for Page 12 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["Baseline data on indicators"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) approximately 45 students per round of participants.\n\n20. Criteria for selection of participants will include IDPs who are considered vulnerable as measured by: a) housing status, b) income level, c) level of education, d) access to services, e) employment status, and f) disability. Selection of participants will also aim to include a balance of men and women, with at least 50% of beneficiaries being women. Applicants who are seeking training in skills that have been determined in the needs survey as being in high demand will also be preferred over those proposing training in areas where there is more limited labor market demand. Skills areas may include, among others: business/trade, agri-business, vocational activities (i.e., carpenter, cook, hairdresser), use of digital technology, among others, with a focus on employment potential and to the extent possible avoiding gender stereotypes. A Selection Committee will be formed to review and endorse the list of approved applicants and the most appropriate training institute or apprenticeship for each applicant. As it is expected that the majority but not all participants will successfully complete the training courses, a modest oversubscription will be planned with the aim of reaching or exceeding the target of 520 total beneficiaries.\n\n21. To understand better the real opportunities for IDPs, particularly about the types of professions that are most in demand in the project areas, the project will ask IDPs (as part of the application process) to fill out a basic labor market assessment form. The process for this will be a day where the mentors work with potential project participants and explain to them how they can find out more about the kinds of opportunities they have in their communities and how to find out about potential income from different activities. In addition to the information collected by IDPs from local employers, the State Employment Agency and the mentors will share additional information that is available about the local labor market and broader national labor market trends that could be used to strategically direct project participants into promising areas of career development and form partnerships with employers and/or training providers to facilitate this. An effort will be made to identify employment pathways where labor market demand is growing and which move away from conservative gender norms which often limit women to professions such as sewing, cooking and beauty salons where income may be limited due to market saturation and low pay.\n\n22. Public and private training providers will be identified by SCRI together with the State Employment Agency, Ministry of Education and Science, and the State Agency for Vocational Education under the Ministry of Education and Science. The use of training providers under the LSLP allowed for flexible arrangements that are responsive to participant needs as well as partnership arrangements that were efficient to manage. Training institutes will be chosen based on the effectiveness of their performance under the LSLP, their accessibility to the project areas, quality of facilities, range of skills taught, demonstrated success with quality training, experience in training of IDPs, student retention, and track record of placing students into jobs and/or self-employment. After reviewing applicant training, checking these against labor market needs and aggregating these needs into courses offered by identified training providers, service agreements will be signed with each institution for an agreed curriculum of training lasting up to 6 months, with some flexibility to extend Page 13 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["needs survey"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) beyond 6 months on an exceptional basis. The agreements will include all details such as how many students will be trained, in which subjects, what the exact duration will be, and payment schedule.\n\n23. As an alternative to pursuing training with an established training institution, some participants may be matched with a “master” trainer in an apprenticeship that will last approximately the same duration as the training provider-based courses. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) in SCRI will seek the advice of local government offices regarding the identification of professional apprenticeship “masters”. The selection of the masters will be decided based on their knowledge and relevant experience in their respective fields and their availability.\n\n24. All participants will undertake an examination of the basic knowledge and skills obtained through their training. Only those passing their exams will be eligible for business development and equipment support under Component 2.\n\n25. **Component 2: Job placement and business development support.** Upon successful completion of the vocational training and apprenticeships, the participants in skills development activities will be either supported with placement into relevant, good quality jobs or provided with 10 days of business development training to help them start their own businesses, focusing on financial literacy, financial management and good business practices. This training will be provided by a firm contracted by SCRI.\n\n26. All participants completing business development training will prepare business plans which will be the basis of requests for project support in the provision of tools/equipment for business startup. Business plans will be collated by the PIU and submitted to the Selection Committee for review, revision (as needed) and endorsement. Participants who have obtained jobs working for employers may also apply for equipment support. They will be asked to provide an endorsement from their employer of the need for the equipment.\n\n27. Tools/equipment are intended to help participants to establish new businesses or to obtain employment. These may be assets such as construction tools (i.e., saws, drills, etc.), hairdressing equipment (i.e., hairdryers, scissors, etc.), agricultural assets such as greenhouse materials, beehives, small machinery, etc., or other eligible equipment. Once project participants begin to undertake new business activities, technical support will be provided by the mentors to help participants to manage their finances, invest to grow their businesses, market their services and to develop other skills that will help them to succeed and continue to increase their incomes. The project will also facilitate meetings between participants, commercial banks and micro-credit agencies, for the purpose of extending support for business growth and ongoing assistance to those who decide to take out loans.\nParticipants in training will also be provided with information on other state programs for selfemployment and business support and assisted with applying to such programs.\n\n28. **Component 3: Civic engagement, social cohesion, monitoring and operational support.** This Page 14 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) component includes both support for enhancing the capacity of project beneficiaries as well as a wider group of IDPs to engage actively in their communities, as well as overall project implementation capacity which is largely in the form of the Project Implementation Unit (PIU). Capacity building on citizen engagement and social cohesion will help to address a lack of participation among IDPs in community organizations and local decision-making, a gap which limits their ability to influence the quality and responsiveness of government services to their unique needs.\n\n29. A civil society organization (CSO) will be contracted as a Civic Engagement Service Provider (CESP) to support the civic engagement and social cohesion activities under the project. The CESP will undertake activities including: Civic Engagement Needs Assessment of IDPs in target areas, including areas where IDPs have newly resettled or planning to resettle; Civic Engagement Action Plan for IDPs to support the active engagement of IDPs in the communities where they are living, including areas where IDPs have newly resettled; 2-day training in Civic Engagement and Social Cohesion for all beneficiaries of Components 1 and 2; regional capacity-building seminars in five target regions for locally-oriented CSOs, to enable them to offer context-based, quality, hands-on trainings for the IDP community members on civic participation and social cohesion; design and implement a digital civic engagement platform/mechanism for IDPs; and facilitate beneficiary feedback on the implementation of the project to enhance the effectiveness of implementation through to project closure. The digital civic engagement platform will be designed as a tool which SCRI can scale up to extend to interactions with IDPs beyond the project beneficiaries and beyond the project duration. The design of this system can benefit from the World Bank’s experience in implementing the Geo-enabling Initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) which has helped implementing agencies in the collection of monitoring and evaluation information, including feedback from project beneficiaries.\n\n30. This component would also finance the contracting of consultants for the PIU, operational costs, and technical assistance needed by SCRI for implementation of the project. Activities the PIU would be responsible for include: manage all procurement matters in accordance with procedures agreed with the World Bank; carry out all financial management issues in compliance with the World Bank fiduciary requirements; ensure adherence to applicable Environmental and Social Standards; prepare overall project progress reports for the World Bank and the Government; oversee and coordinate the activities of the Selection Committee; and coordinate the project with other government and donor-financed and implemented interventions aimed at IDP communities.\n\n**B.

Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n31. **The State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and IDPs (SCRI) will implement the**\n**proposed grant.** SCRI was originally established in 1992 along with the passing of the law \"On the\nStatus of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons.\" SCRI is responsible for working with the government and international agencies to reduce poverty, create conditions for IDPs to return to their places of origin, supervise the targeted delivery of monthly benefits and assistance to IDPs, construct and maintain housing and social facilities for IDPs. It engages in the formulation of government policy for the support of IDPs. The implementation agency for the former LSLP World Bank-financed project, Social Fund for the Development of IDP (SFDI), reports directly to SCRI.\nFor the purpose of the present project, SCRI will establish a Project Implementation Unit (PIU), which will include contracted experts from SFDI with experience in the LSLP particularly in financial management, procurement, monitoring and evaluation, and environmental and social risk management. Thus, while the PIU for the present project will not be the same as for the prior project (LSLP), and it will be housed within the SCRI and not within SFDI, key project staff from SFDI will still be involved in the new PIU (e.g., FM, Procurement, Project Manager) and will bring continuity, institutional knowledge and implementation capacity relevant to managing World Bank-funded operations.\n\n32. The Selection Committee (SC) will be composed of three representatives of the SCRI, the State Employment Agency, and of the international donor community, represented by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR). The SC will review and approve proposals from the PIU for beneficiaries of Components 1 and 2.\n\n33. **The SCRI does not have prior experience with the World Bank's Environmental and**\n**Social Framework (ESF) as LSLP was financed under the Bank’s Safeguard Policies.** Its experience\nwith the LSLP has built a strong track record in certain areas of ESF Screening for Environmental and Social (E&S) risk and impacts and risk management of community infrastructure and housing; strong community mobilization, information disclosure and stakeholder engagement; and a functional grievance mechanism. Other areas of the ESF will be new to the SCRI team, specifically, labor and working conditions, occupational health and safety (OHS), and provisions on the prevention and mitigation of sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment (SEA/SH).

Results Monitoring and Evaluation**\n\n35. **The PIU within SCRI will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of**\n**the project** **against agreed indicators as set out in the Results Framework.** A consultant will be\nhired as an M&E Specialist to undertake and coordinate this work and to report on results indicators. The M&E Specialist will collect baseline data, which will enable the Committee to compare the before and after situation for project participants. Data after training program completion will be collected by the M&E Specialist and if additional data collection support is needed, SCRI will engage the staff of its Monitoring Department and the M&E Specialist will provide staff with the needed training and quality assurance supervision. Participants in civic engagement and social cohesion training will be tested on their knowledge and tracked to assess whether they are more active in their communities as a result of the training. Special emphasis will be placed on assessing the difference in project benefits between male and female participants and for persons with disabilities. The PIU will prepare semi-annual reports to provide a summary of implementation progress on project activities and cross-cutting functions (FM, Procurement, and Environmental and Social Risk Management) of the project.\n\n36. **Baseline data that is collected on income and other household characteristics will be**\n**structured in such a way to allow for comparison to national poverty lines and levels of income.**\nWhile such data comparisons will not be incorporated into the results framework, they will be used to assess the extent to which the project is helping to move beneficiaries out of poverty and into situations of greater economic self-reliance.\n\n**C. Sustainability**\n\n37. **As the Government is in the process of adjusting its approach to support IDPs as some**\n**of them prepare to relocate, or consider future relocation back to homeland territories, the**\n**proposed activities will assist the government in developing and implementing a revised**\n**approach to IDPs that can be scaled up in the future.** As the response to the recent conflict is\nstill unfolding, IDP support is likely to evolve and be the focus of increased support from the Government and international development partners, including the Bank. The grant is expected to contribute directly to improving the wellbeing and livelihood prospects of IDPs, as well as to strengthening government capacity to plan for effective livelihood support programs for IDPs.\n\nPage 17 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["baseline data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) The activities piloted under the grant, and the lessons learned, in the areas of employment and livelihoods, civic engagement and social cohesion have the potential to be scaled with support of further state, international, and private funds.\n\n38. **SCRI and the State Employment Service (SES) are starting to work together closely to**\n**facilitate the process of preparing IDPs to return to their places of origin.** This collaboration\nprovides a channel by which the lessons from the ILIDP Project can be incorporated into ongoing government employment services provided to IDPs, including through the Bank-financed _Employment Support Project_ . The ILIDP Project’s focus on using community-based support, apprenticeships and job placement will complement new initiatives planned by SES to enable Government to better respond to the needs of IDPs and other vulnerable groups. As the return of IDPs to their places of origin is a new experience for both SCRI and SES, the consultations with returnees undertaken through the ILIDP Project will also be an important source of information on how best to prepare IDPs for this transition. And as the pace of return begins to rapidly accelerate, there will be a need for increased capacity beyond the levels available within SES and SCRI to support this process. While Government has initially allocated funds through its State Program on the Great Return to the Liberated Territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 2023 and likely beyond, scaled-up financing from the World Bank could be a source of resources to help finance this significantly increasing need.\n\n**V.** **KEY RISKS**\n\n**A. Overall Risk Rating and Explanation of Key Risks**\n\n39. **The Overall risk rating for the project is** **Moderate** . Most of the technical design of the proposed activities has been implemented under the LSLP project and determined to be effective according to Bank and client assessments. While the main implementing agency was not the agency responsible for implementation of the proposed activities under the LSLP, many of the staff from that agency are now working for the SCRI so there is institutional knowledge and capacity to implement. There are political, governance and policy risks that accompany the potential evolving status of IDPs, but the Bank’s dialogue with the SCRI can help to anticipate any such changes and ensure that any impacts on project implementation are limited, if any.\n\n40. **Macroeconomic risks are Low** as the financing requirements are modest and there is no co-financing of activities by government.\n\n41. **Political and Governance risks are considered to be Substantial** as the status of IDPs may evolve over the course of the project as territories that have come under government control as a result of the 2020 conflict are integrated into national government systems. This may change the eligibility of some individuals to participate in the project or the types of support provided to IDPs. As the implementing agency for the project is the main government body for developing Page 18 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) and carrying out government policy with respect to IDPs the Bank will engage in dialogue with the SCRI to adjust beneficiary selection if needed and to ensure continuity in support to beneficiaries that enter the program so that they benefit from the full scope of project support even if their status changes during the project duration. There is also a risk that the civic engagement activities planned under the project could be limited due to Government concerns that they could be challenging the role of the state. As the Project is being implemented by a central government agency, there should be a level of comfort within Government that civic engagement of IDPs is in the interest of helping SCRI and other Government agencies to provide the best possible support to their intended beneficiaries.\n\n42. **Risks related to Sector Strategies and Policies are Substantial** . Similar to the assessment of political and governance risks, there could be specific policy changes with respect to support for IDPs during project duration. Government has launched its State Program for Great Return which is an ambitious strategy for reconstruction and return of 34,500 families by 2026. There is unlikely to be a change in overall government support for resolving the situation of IDPs as the government’s position has been consistent over many years and has only been reinforced by the outcomes of the recent conflict, but there could be adjustments to the approach to reflect the challenges faced in implementing the Great Return program. Several important issues have yet to be clarified such as whether IDPs can return to the exact location of their former residence, whether ownership of land will be transferred to them upon return and if not, when, and under what circumstances can this happen.\n\n43. **Technical Design risks are Low** as the methodology for the main project components has been applied previously and proven effective. Improvements would be introduced to further enhance the effectiveness of the design.\n\n44. **Institutional Capacity and Sustainability risks are Moderate** . While institutional capacity risk is low since the SCRI has prior experience with the proposed activities, the sustainability of activities is largely dependent upon the capacity of training participants to carry on their employment activities after the project closes. The component on business support and the use of mentors is intended to increase the likelihood of sustainability as it allows time for an assessment of participant capacity and targeted support to address challenges they are facing before project support ceases.\n\n45. **The** **Environmental and Social risks of the project are considered Low** . There are no physical infrastructure investments proposed, so there is very little in the way of environmental risks. As the core of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of IDPs it should reduce the social risks faced by this group rather than exacerbating their challenging circumstances. The focus on building awareness and skills for civic engagement and social cohesion will also help to mitigate social risks. Lack of familiarity of PIU staff with the ESF will be mitigated with training to PIU staff and consequently to all field staff on relevant aspects with a focus on adherence to the grievance Page 19 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) mechanism, stakeholder engagement, labor terms and conditions and occupational health and safety, among other applicable requirements.\n\n46. **Fiduciary risks are considered Moderate.** While SCRI did not directly manage funds from the LSLP, FM and Procurement experts who worked in SDFI on the LSLP are now working in SCRI and would be engaged in the PIU. These experts have long-term experience with World Bank fiduciary requirements and will receive training on any new aspects of FM and Procurement introduced since the closing of the LSLP. There are also no large-scale procurement activities included in the design, but rather smaller payments to finance training and small goods packages for participants. Strong fiduciary mechanisms will be put in place for the procurement of equipment and assets under the project.\n\n47. **Stakeholder risks are Moderate.** There is only one implementing agency responsible for implementation, so intragovernmental coordination should not be complicated. There are different development partners and civil society organizations supporting IDPs, so coordination with these partners would be important. Existing Government-convened coordination bodies would be used to facilitate information sharing and collaboration with other organizations that are engaged in supporting IDPs. In addition, a Selection Committee will be formed to make decisions regarding the selection of project beneficiaries and the provision of supplies and equipment under Component 2.\n\n**VI.** **APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n48. Most of the technical design of the project has been implemented under the Youth Support Program (YSP) which was a subcomponent of the LSLP. These activities were implemented between 2018 and 2020 and evaluated using baseline and endline data collected from 827 persons out of the total number of 833 individuals that had participated in the YSP. This survey found that 86.7% of respondents (717 persons) were employed or self-employed. This figure was 0.4% (only 3 persons) at the baseline. 52% of beneficiaries were men and 48% women.\nMore than 91% of working beneficiaries were self-employed with the remainder working for other employers. Almost all the employed/self-employed respondents were found to be working in the field of their vocational study, except for 3 persons. Average monthly nominal income of the households surveyed, from all working individuals, increased by more than 2.5 times between the baseline and endline survey. As such, the design of the YSP has proven to be effective, so it has served as the basis of the design of this project.\n\n**Financial Management**\n\n49.

The current staff responsible for FM in SCRI have prior experience in implementation of WB projects. The project will follow the financial management covenants: semi-annual Interim Unaudited Financial Reports (IFRs) and the annual project audit will be part of the arrangements.\nThe overall FM risk for the Project remains moderate.\n\n50. The audit will be conducted by an independent private auditor in accordance with terms of reference acceptable to the World Bank and procured by the PIU. The annual audited project financial statements will be submitted to the World Bank within six months after the end of each reporting period. The audited financial statements will be posted on the internet within one month of the receipt of audited reports from the auditor. In addition, following the World Bank’s formal receipt of the financial statements from the recipient, the World Bank will make them available to the public in accordance with Bank Policy on Access to Information for Bank-financed operations. The cost of the audit would be financed from the proceeds of the grant. Project management oriented IFRs will be used for the grant. The IFR formats will be agreed with the PIU covering half a year throughout the life of the Project and will submit them to the World Bank no later than 45 days after the semester end.\n\n51. The proposed grant would follow standard flow of funds and disbursement arrangements, i.e., reimbursement, direct payment, advances, and special commitments including the use of Statement of Expenditure procedures. A separate Designated Account (DA) for grant funds would be opened in a commercial bank on terms and conditions acceptable to the Bank. The Ceiling of Advances to the DA will be elaborated in the Disbursement and Financial Information Letter (DFIL).\n\n**Procurement**\n\n52. Procurement will be carried out in accordance with the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for Investment Project Financing (IPF) Borrowers for Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services, dated November 2020, Fourth Edition (Procurement Regulations) and is subject to the World Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines, dated October 15, 2006 (revised in January 2011 and as of July 1, 2016). The Project will use the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) to plan, record and track procurement transactions.\n\n53. Procurement under the Project includes small scale, post review goods, consultancy & non-consultancy services including selection of NGOs and CSOs, where only Procurement Plans and Terms of References (TORs) are subject to prior review.\n\n54. Procurement risk is Moderate. The project will be managed by the PIU at SCRI. Even though the implementation team does not have prior experience with Bank’s new procurement Regulations, it has in-house procurement capacity for the size and type of procurement under Page 21 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) the project, and the Bank would provide relevant training and hands on support as needed.

Environmental and Social**\n\n55. **The environmental and social risks of the project are considered Low.** There are no physical infrastructure investments proposed, so there is very little in the way of environmental risks. As the core of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of IDPs it should reduce the social risks faced by this group rather than exacerbating their challenging circumstances. The focus on building awareness and skills for social cohesion and conflict sensitivity will also help to mitigate social risks. SCRI has prepared a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and an Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) for the project.\nThe ESCP will form part of the Grant Agreement package. The Operations Manual prepared by SCRI covers key environmental and social commitments, roles and responsibilities. As SCRI does not have prior experience implementing projects under ESF, the PIU staff and consequently all field staff involved in project implementation will receive training on applicable ES requirements with a focus on adherence to stakeholder engagement, grievance mechanism, labor terms and conditions, and occupational health and safety.\n\n**VII.** **World Bank Grievance Redress**\n\n38. **Grievance Redress** _**.**_ Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a project supported by the World Bank may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance mechanisms or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Accountability Mechanism (AM). The AM houses the Inspection Panel, which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures, and the Dispute Resolution Service, which provides communities and borrowers with the opportunity to address complaints through dispute resolution. Complaints may be submitted to the AM at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the attention of Bank Management and after Management Page 22 of 34", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSPF: Improved Livelihoods for Internally Displaced Persons in Azerbaijan (P178125) has been given an opportunity to respond.

Country Context**\n\n\n1. **Uganda has made significant progress towards socioeconomic transformation over the last three decades. The**\n**country registered an average annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth above 5 percent during the 2002 -2012**\n**period.** However, the country’s growth trajectory remains volatile, following a leveling off of growth and the continuing\nimpacts of the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19). GDP growth decelerated to around 5 percent during 2013–2019\nand the economy contracted by 1.1 percent in 2020 because of the Government of Uganda (GoU) strict COVID-19\ncontainment measures and disruptions in global supply chains, which prompted a tightening of public investment and a\ndrop in consumption. With the loosening of containment measures, real GDP growth rebounded by over 13 percent in\nthe fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as restrictions to contain COVID-19 were relaxed. Consumption, public investment, and\nservices all recovered strongly. However, new waves of infection in late 2021 and early 2022 led to the imposition of new\nlockdown measures, disrupting the nascent economic recovery. The medium-term outlook remains uncertain. Under a\nbaseline scenario, real GDP is expected to grow by around 3.5-4.0 percent in fiscal 2022 and about 5.5 percent in fiscal\n2023. Considering large global and domestic uncertainties, such as oil and food price shocks exacerbated by the war in\nUkraine, the recovery could be slower.\n\n\n2. **The COVID-19 shock has been accompanied by increases in poverty and unemployment** . According to the latest\nUganda National Household Survey (UNHS), although overall poverty in 2019/20 (20.3 percent) was slightly lower than\nin 2016/17 (21.4 percent), poverty in the COVID-19 period was significantly higher than in the pre-COVID-19 period. [1] It\nincreased to 21.9 percent during the first COVID-19 wave. Rising unemployment and work stoppages have pushed many\nUgandans, especially women, back into subsistence agriculture, setting back achievement of the country’s development\ngoal of reducing the share of the population dependent on subsistence agriculture as a main source of livelihood from\n69 to 55 percent between 2020/21 and 2024/25. [2]\n\n\n3. **Uganda is experiencing accelerating impacts from climate change that affect livelihoods in key sectors.** Rising\ntemperatures and variability in rainfall is producing more intense and longer lasting droughts as well as more frequent,\nheavy precipitation events leading to flooding and landslides. These vulnerabilities are heightened given the economy’s\nstrong reliance on climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture and tourism. While women are particularly vulnerable to the\nimpacts of climate change, given their reliance on subsistence agriculture, they are also active in safeguarding resources\nsuch as water, giving them important roles in protecting the environment.\n\n\n4. **Supporting women’s entrepreneurship holds a critical place in Uganda’s efforts to revive its economy.** Currently,\nwomen are less likely than men to be paid employees (13 percent of women compared with 23 percent of men), and\nmore likely to be self-employed (80 percent compared to men’s 70 percent). [3] In this context, promoting ways for women\nto grow and expand their businesses is a good option to promote economic recovery. Micro, small, and medium\nenterprises (MSMEs) created within the past five years now generate over 50 percent of formal jobs, and household\nenterprises provide employment for another 3.1 million households. [4] Furthermore, women are particularly vulnerable\n\n\n1 The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has recently announced poverty rates based on the UNHS 2019/2020. The data for this survey was\ncollected in two periods with a break during the strictest lockdown period between March–June 2020. The first data collection period started in\nSeptember 2019 and ended in February 2020, then it resumed in July 2020 and ended in November 2020.\n2 Government of Uganda (2020), Third National Development Plan (NDP III).\n3 GoU 2018.

[5] About 94 percent of the refugees live in settlements across 12 Refugee\nHosting Districts (RHDs) with a population of 4,437,500 people (excluding Kampala), while the remainder live in urban\nareas. GoU has invested consistently in improving access to services, infrastructure and livelihoods opportunities for\nrefugees and hosting communities both in rural and urban settings. There is a working age population (between 18 and\n59) in refugee hosting districts of more than 315,000 refugee women and 918,000 host community women. [6] Half of all\nrefugee households are headed by women. [7 ]\n\n6. **Uganda’s refugee population is overwhelmingly young and female, highly vulnerable to climate and other**\n**shocks, and heavily dependent on government aid** . For refugee women, reduced humanitarian assistance and fewer\nfood rations coupled with the lockdowns and economic recession has further reduced their incomes and exacerbated\ntheir vulnerability. They have been more adversely affected by climate-related and COVID-19 shocks than their Ugandan\ncounterparts and have been slower to recover. [8] Female refugees were more likely to stop working following COVID-19\nlockdowns than Ugandan nationals or male refugees. While there was no difference based on gender, refugee businesses\nwere less likely to continue operating after COVID-19 shocks than those of Ugandan nationals. Compared to less than a\nquarter of Ugandan households, at least half of refugee households borrowed money to cope with the impacts of the\nCOVID-19 emergency. Preliminary evidence suggests that many refugees in urban areas moved to rural areas during\nlockdown and the subsequent months, due to difficulties of paying rent with reduced income. Under these intense\npressures, refugees are ten times more likely to suffer from depression. [9]\n\n\n**B. Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n\n7. **Uganda has the highest proportion of women’s business ownership in the Africa region.** The 2020 Mastercard\nGlobal Index of Women Entrepreneurs estimated that women own nearly 40 percent of all businesses. [10] Earlier surveys\nhave presented more varied estimates, suggesting female-owned enterprises make up between 23–44 percent of all\nbusinesses. [11] MSMEs are critical to the economic growth. They employ nearly 2.5 million people, 90 percent of all private\nsector employees, produce 80 percent of manufactured products, and generate 20 percent of GDP. [12]\n\n8. **Yet most women-led firms never grow past the micro level, while male-owned firms are twice as likely to move**\n**from micro to small size** . Estimates from various surveys suggest that 80–94 percent of all women-owned firms in Uganda\n\n\n5 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). 2022.

About 60 percent of female-owned microenterprises have only one employee, with nearly 77\npercent having four or fewer employees [13] . Notably, male-owned firms also cluster at the micro level, with 76 percent\nhaving four or fewer employees. [13] Very few firms transition to employing 10 people or more (7.5 percent), but more than\ntwice as many male-owned firms make this jump (9.4 percent) compared to women-owned firms (2.6 percent).\n\n\n9. **Women’s businesses also tend to be located in more vulnerable sectors, and earn 30 percent less in profits than**\n**firms owned by men** . [14] Fewer than 10 percent of women entrepreneurs run businesses in sectors traditionally dominated\nby men, such as transport, or agribusiness **.** However, women who managed to enter male-dominated sectors attained\nrevenues equal to those of male-owned firms. [15] This points to significant potential for benefits in terms of growth and\njob creation if women’s micro-enterprises are able to expand to new sectors and grow.\n\n\n10. **Lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 hit MSMEs hard, especially those owned by women** . A study by the National\nFederation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises reported that 49 percent of MSMEs struggled to pay their bills, and\n45 percent of businesses in Kampala had to close as a direct consequence of the pandemic. [16] While women-led\nbusinesses were about as likely to close as male-led firms during 2020–21, women entrepreneurs were more than twice\nas likely to require financial assistance to reopen (85 percent) than male entrepreneurs (31 percent). [17] Younger, female\nentrepreneurs (ages 15–30) were the most affected, with business closure rates about twice as high as those for males\nof the same age. [18]\n\n\n_**Constraints to Women’s Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Growth**_\n\n\n11. **Several factors limit women’s ability to take advantage of economic opportunities.** These accrue throughout\nchildhood, adolescence, and adulthood, culminating in women’s much greater exclusion from growth-oriented private\nenterprise. Limiting factors include weak implementation of Uganda’s progressive legal and policy framework to promote\ngender equality, social norms that promote women’s economic dependence on men, caretaking demands on women,\nhigh exposure to violence and harassment in the workplace, and climate related and other stressors. Other critical\nconstraints include: (a) gender discriminatory barriers in accessing finance; (b) skills mismatch and occupational\nsegregation; (c) limited access to technology, information, and opportunities to build skills and networks; and (d) lack of\naccess to infrastructure and facilities such as childcare facilities and safe and accessible transport.\n\n12. **Chief among the factors that limit female entrepreneurship are household roles and responsibilities** . Rigid\ntraditional norms dictate that women and girls are responsible for family care and housekeeping duties, whereas men\nare traditionally perceived as the primary income earners of the household. Before the COVID-19 lockdowns, 92 percent\nof women and 31 percent of men ages 31–64 were engaged in care work. Women care for children, sick, and elderly\nhousehold members at much higher rates than men. The competing demands on women’s time affect their businesses’\nprofits: 37 percent of women entrepreneurs bring their children to work, compared to no men, and profits of enterprises\nwhere small children are present are 48 percent lower than those without small children present, including female\n\n13 2021.

[19] With total fertility rates in Uganda still very high at 4.7 children per woman, care\nburdens are compounded for women.\n\n13. **Social norms and risks of violence against women also influence the choices of Ugandan women for businesses**\n**sectors and sizes.** Women can feel discouraged from entering or expanding in more profitable (male-dominated) sectors,\nas doing so may signal their transgression of gender norms about men being the main income providers in households.\nRisk of violence also constitutes a significant barrier to women’s entrepreneurship in Uganda. A 2020 national survey of\nviolence against women reports that almost all (95 percent) of Ugandan women between 15–49 years old have\nexperienced physical or sexual violence from either an intimate partner or a non-partner during their lifetime. [20] This is\nmore than three times the global average (27 percent lifetime,) and the averages for Sub-Saharan Africa (33 percent\nlifetime). _[21 ]_ More than half reported that their partners insisted on knowing where they were at all times (54 percent) and\ncontrol how they spend their money (29 percent).\n\n14. **Women entrepreneurs are likely to be excluded from the channels of information, networks, and mentors**\n**associated with the more profitable, male-dominated sectors and businesses within them** . Throughout a firm’s life, the\ndiversity of networks can impact whether an entrepreneur has access to credit, learns about new market opportunities,\nand acquires the skills needed to successfully operate their businesses. [22] Studies of women entrepreneurs in Uganda find\nthat women who work closely with a mentor—often male, and usually a family member—are more likely to transition\ninto higher-profit sectors. [ 23] [24]\n\n15. **Additional factors that block women from developing growth-oriented enterprises in profitable sectors are**\n**related to the failure of existing business development services to address the needs of women-owned firms** .\nAccording to an enterprise survey conducted in 2014, MSMEs lacked key skills needed for business growth. Only 28\npercent of firms surveyed said they do book-keeping to track revenues and expenses; a mere 10 percent had invested in\ntraining for employees; and just 36 percent had access to the internet. Female-owned firms appear to be particularly\nlacking when it comes to the use of standard business practices. A recent microenterprise survey showed a gender gap\nof 24 percentage points on an index of adoption of good business practices. Few training courses address the specific\nchallenges of formalizing a business, including meeting tax obligations, preparing proper records, fulfilling reporting\nrequirements, and obtaining licenses. Training tends to focus on limited topics, such as financial or computer literacy,\nbut leaves out training in life skills and support for network. Yet, global evidence demonstrates that developing socioemotional skills, through psychology-based trainings, are as important to enterprise success as strengthening business\nskills. [25] Finally, many business development services continue to train women for sectors where women-owned firms are\nover-represented, such as small trade or food service, rather than where they could diversify their business and earn\nhigher profits.\n\n\n19 Delecourt, S. and Fitzpatrick, A. 2021. “Childcare Matters: Female Business Owners and the Baby-Profit Gap.” Management Science, Vol, 67, No.\n7.

[1] The Government of Iraq (GOI) has formally requested the World Bank’s support for Iraq’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts on May 26, 2021. The project builds on the ongoing support to the Government of Iraq’s (GOI) COVID-19 response and health system strengthening by the World Bank as well as other development partners.\n\n**2.** **The project will provide upfront financing to help the government purchase and deploy COVID-19 vaccines from**\n**a range of sources that meet the World Bank’s Vaccine Approval Criteria (VAC).** The financing will enable affordable\nand equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for approximately 7 percent of the country’s population and help ensure effective vaccine deployment in Iraq through vaccination system strengthening. In particular, it will support the country in procuring additional doses through direct supply agreements with vaccine manufacturers in order to build a portfolio of options to expand Iraq’s access to vaccines under the right conditions (e.g., of value-for-money, regulatory approvals, and delivery time among other key features). As of April 16, 2021, the World Bank will accept as threshold for eligibility of IBRD/IDA resources in COVID-19 vaccine acquisition and/or deployment under all World Bank-financed projects: (i) the vaccine has received regular or emergency licensure or authorization from at least one of the Stringent Regulatory Authorities (SRAs) identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) for vaccines procured and/or supplied under the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) Facility, as may be amended from time to time by WHO; or (ii) the vaccine has received WHO Prequalification (PQ) or WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL). As vaccine development is rapidly evolving, the World Bank's VAC may be revised. All vaccines financed by the World Bank will be provided free of charge, and no user fees will be levied. The project financing enables a portfolio approach that will be adjusted during implementation in response to developments in the country’s pandemic situation and the global market for vaccines.\n\n**3.** **Iraq is one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19 in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region** . As of\nSeptember 19, 2021, Iraq has recorded a total of 1,975,220 confirmed cases and 21,822 deaths. A total of 7,161,754 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered. Of the total number of vaccinated people, 4,444,542 received one dose (approximately 11 percent of the total population), while 2,717,212 have been fully immunized with two doses (approximately 7 percent of the total population).\n\n1 The World Bank approved a US$12 billion WBG Fast Track COVID-19 Facility (FTCF or “the Facility”) to assist IBRD and IDA countries in addressing the global pandemic and its impacts. Of this amount, US$6 billion came from IBRD/IDA (“the World Bank”) and US$6 billion from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The IFC subsequently increased its contribution to US$8 billion, bringing the FTCF total to US$14 billion. The AF of US$12 billion (IBRD/IDA) was approved on October 13, 2020 to support the purchase and deployment of vaccines as well as strengthening the related immunization and health care delivery system.\n\nPage 6 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**B.** **MPA Program Context**\n\n4. **The Additional Financing (AF) to the SPRP approved by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors on**\n**October 13, 2020 to the existing COVID-19 SPRP utilizing the MPA (“Global COVID-19 MPA”) will significantly expand**\n**the World Bank support to client countries for COVID-19 vaccination, with the aim to support vaccination of one**\n**billion people globally.** An effective and safe COVID-19 vaccine is the most promising path forward for the world to\nreopen safely, building on global efforts to develop treatments and to expand testing capacity. The timing of potential vaccine development was not known when the Global COVID-19 MPA was approved, but global vaccine development efforts have progressed rapidly. Production is underway of several vaccines that have been approved for use since the end of 2020. Many high-income countries have made large-scale advance purchases to reserve supply for their populations and have the systems in place to get people vaccinated efficiently. The approval of an envelope of US$12 billion (US$6 billion from IDA and US$6 billion from IBRD) in financing was critical to expand affordable and equitable financing for vaccine purchase and deployment. It also sent a signal to potential suppliers that World Bank financing is available for the demand of vaccines from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), providing an incentive for production capacity at levels that can also supply developing economies at affordable prices, not only high-income countries. The World Bank’s Global COVID-19 MPA AF is expected to enable vaccination for up to 750 million people, with potential surge capacity for an additional 250 million people in the poorest countries (depending on the delivered price of approved vaccines) while scaling up support to strengthen immunization delivery, with design flexibility at the country level. The Iraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project will enable support to the GOI’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts and will be a key contribution to the World Bank Group’s (WBG) overall COVID-19 response.\n\n5. **The COVID-19 pandemic has had massive global impact and continues to spread** . Since December 2019, following the diagnosis of the initial cases in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, the number of COVID-19 cases has increased rapidly. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared a global pandemic. As of September 20, 2021, more than 228 million people have been infected with COVID-19 and 4.7 million have died. The pandemic has caused the largest global economic contraction since the Great Depression in 1929, driving millions of people into poverty. The economic recovery is expected to be slow. Furthermore, many countries are seeing a ‘third wave’ with the spread of the Delta variant.\n\n6. **The World Bank’s response to the pandemic was quick.** On March 3, 2020, the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors endorsed urgent actions supporting client countries’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, the Board approved the establishment of a US$12 billion WBG Fast Track COVID-19 Facility (FTCF or “the Facility”) to assist IBRD and International Development Association (IDA) countries in addressing the global pandemic and its impacts. Of this amount, US$6 billion came from IBRD/IDA (“the Bank”) and US$6 billion from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The IFC subsequently increased its contribution to US$8 billion, bringing the FTCF total to US$14 billion. On March 17, 2020, the World Bank’s Board granted approval of specific waivers and exceptions required to enable the rapid preparation and implementation of country operations under the FTCF. On April 2, 2020, the World Bank’s Board approved the SPRP with a US$6 billion financing envelope of which up to US$4 billion for health financing (up to US$1.3 billion IDA and up to US$2.7 billion under IBRD). The SPRP utilizes MPA, to be supported by the FTCF. On April 2, 2020, the World Bank’s Board also approved the first 25 country projects.\n\n7. **Since the initial FTCF response, the WBG has significantly expanded its support for countries as they respond to**\n**the COVID-19 pandemic and its overall impacts** . In March 2020, the WBG announced that the institution has the\ncapacity to provide up to US$160 billion in total financial support through June 2021 to help countries address the social Page 7 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) and economic impacts of the pandemic. On June 16, 2020, the World Bank’s Board endorsed the COVID-19 Crisis Response Approach Paper, outlining priorities for supporting countries in the longer term, including: a continued focus on saving lives; protecting the poor and vulnerable; ensuring sustainable business growth and job creation; and strengthening policies, institutions, and investments for rebuilding better. By September 30, 2020, the World Bank had committed nearly US$22 billion in new financing for the overall COVID-19 response, of which more than 50 percent has disbursed. In addition to new financing, the World Bank restructured funds in existing projects in at least 68 countries to focus on COVID-19 response, many of these using the contingent emergency response component (CERC). By September 30, 2020, the IFC had committed nearly US$6 billion in new financing, reflecting new investments in more than 300 companies as well as extending trade finance and working capital lines to clients. As of September 17, 2021, 87 MPA operations have been approved with a total commitment of US$4.2 billion, and the Bank has approved 56 operations to support vaccine procurement and rollout in 54 countries amounting to $4.6 billion.\n\n8. **The Global COVID-19 MPA provides a critical and highly effective operational programmatic framework for the**\n**World Bank’s emergency health response to COVID-19 with FTCF resources** . The Program development objective of\nthe Global MPA is “to prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness.” At the time of the approval of the Global MPA, and in the absence of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, immediate needs were focused on early detection, diagnosis, confirmation, and treatment of patients (including those afflicted with other chronic conditions that increase the risk of COVID-19 severity and mortality).

The country project under the MPA Program will support adaptive learning throughout implementation, as well as from international organizations including the WHO, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and others. It will adjust to emerging technical, social, and economic evidence, as applicable, and incorporate lessons learned from the ongoing global vaccine rollout and COVID-19-related service delivery. In Iraq, this learning agenda involves a continuation of on-going work supported through the World Bank technical assistance (TA) under the I3RF and the ongoing COVID-19 response supported through interventions outside of the MPA, including:\n\n- **Technical:** Vaccine deployment readiness assessments; rapid assessment of infection prevention and control\nmeasures and patient flow; and application of digital tools for contact tracing.\n\n- **Social behaviors** : Studies to assess vaccine hesitancy and A/B message testing to improve uptake of COVID19 vaccines.\n\n**II.** **CONTEXT AND RELEVANCE**\n\n**A.** **Country Context**\n\n11. **Iraq is a large upper-middle income country with a gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$4,660 and a**\n**population of 40.15 million in 2020.** Almost two decades after the Iraq war began, the country remains caught in a\nfragility trap and faces increasing political instability and fragmentation, geopolitical risks, growing social unrest, and a deepening divide between the state and its citizens. Oil price volatility and COVID-19 have amplified Iraq’s economic woes, reversing two years of steady recovery. These twin shocks have deepened existing economic and social fragilities, adding further to public grievances that existed pre-COVID-19. The absence of fiscal space has limited the ability of the GOI to provide a stimulus to an economy highly dependent on oil exports for growth and fiscal revenues. As a result, the country experienced the largest contraction of its economy since 2003, with gross domestic product (GDP) contracting by 15 percent in 2020. Budget rigidities have constrained the GOI’s ability to respond to COVID-19 and offer a stimulus package to restart the economy.\n\n12. **The economic downturn has worsened the welfare of Iraqis, especially informal workers and the self-employed.** Unemployment is more than 10 percentage points higher than the pre-pandemic level. Unemployment and underemployment are likely to rise, particularly among youth and internally displaced persons (IDPs). The loss of household income and social assistance has increased vulnerability to food insecurity. COVID-19 has also severely limited child learning as evidenced by the small proportion of students engaged in learning activities during school closure. These impacts coupled with reduced access to market and health care services undermined human capital accumulation and economic mobility.\n\n13. **An additional 2.7 to 5.5 million Iraqis could become poor due to the COVID-19 crisis.** This is in addition to the 6.9 million Iraqis already living in poverty. A large vaccination campaign is a key element for future recovery from the health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n**B.** **Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n**14.** **While Iraq has made progress with some health outcomes, the significant negative impact of conflicts and**\n\nPage 9 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**political instability is apparent in the poor performance of the health system** . Iraq’s life expectancy has increased by\n2.3 years over the past decade, rising from 68.3 years in 2009 to 70.6 in 2019. There has been progress in child health and nutrition indicators; with under-5 mortality decreasing by more than 40 percent over the past two decades, falling from 44.9 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1999 to 25.9 deaths in 2019. Despite such progress, Iraq still has some of the worst health outcomes among its peers, mostly driven by the continued conflict. The under-5 mortality rate is 1.4 times higher than the average for upper-middle income countries of 18.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. While Iraq is undergoing a demographic transition, with an increase in the working age share of the population, it still has one of the highest total fertility rates in the MENA region at 3.7. Maternal mortality ratio has been persistently high over the past two decades (75 in 2009, 92 in 2014, and 79 in 2019, deaths per 10,000 live births respectively). There are also regional and socioeconomic inequities in terms of fertility, early childbirth, and family planning outcomes. Utilization of health services has decreased over the years, particularly at the primary care level, and inequities remain. For example, women in the poorest quintile are only 66 percent as likely to receive four or more antenatal care visits during their last pregnancy compared to those in the richest quintile. Child immunization rates in Iraq have not improved over the past decade and have remained significantly lower than those of peer countries. Due to conflict and instability, Iraq faces a significant challenge of delivering care to a large number of refugees and IDPs. In summary, Iraq performs poorly across most universal health coverage (UHC) index indicators, and the UHC effective coverage index stands at only 57.7. [2] Iraq’s Human Capital Index is one of the lowest in the MENA region at 0.41 in 2020. [3] 15. **Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become the most significant cause of mortality and morbidity**, representing 77.1 percent of deaths and 65.8 percent of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2019. In 2019, ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease were the top four causes of mortality in the country. The prevalence of the main NCD risks remains high: 21 percent of the population uses tobacco, 14 percent of the population has diabetes, 35.6 percent of the population has high blood pressure, 65 percent are overweight or obese, and 39.6 percent have elevated cholesterol.\n\n16. **Health infrastructure was severely damaged by conflicts.** With the exception of Tal Afar, Al-Muqdadya (Ibid) and Al-Ramadi, all cities for which data were available have at least half of their facilities either partially or fully damaged.\nService delivery is also affected by the functionality of facilities. Data show high rates of nonfunctional health facilities in cities with high levels of damages. According to the Damage and Needs Assessment conducted by the World Bank in 2018, [4] the estimated damages to Iraq’s health system in the seven governorates directly affected by the prolonged conflict total US$2.3 billion. Out of this amount, damages to hospitals in the 16 assessed cities are approximately US$1 billion, while damages to health centers and health offices are around US$12.6 million.\n\n17. **The Iraqi health system is primarily financed by general government revenues and direct payments by**\n**households, and fiscal space has remained constrained.** Over the past decade, per capita health spending in Iraq has\nfluctuated from a low of US$150.5 in 2010 to a high of US$239.4 in 2018. Despite recent increases, Iraq spends considerably less than peer countries per capita. Compared to its peers, Iraq also spends the lowest share of total 2 Collaborators, G. 2. (2020, October 17).

This results in an overreliance on out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures (representing 51.4 percent of current health spending in 2018) and limited financial protection for the population. In 2017, about a third of the population incurred catastrophic health expenditures (i.e., spending more than 10 percent of their household expenditure on health), and 15 percent of households were pushed into poverty due to OOP health spending. [5] 18. **Against this backdrop, Iraq is one of the most significantly impacted countries by COVID-19 in the MENA region.** Iraq remains susceptible to a high risk of morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19, not only through its direct effects but also through the indirect effects on the burden to be imposed on the health system. This risk is attributable to a high and growing burden of NCDs, a diverse range of vulnerable and at-risk populations due to poverty, inequality and displacement, as well as a weak health system with low and inequitable levels of financing, fragmented and inflexible service delivery, limited human and physical resources, and weak surveillance and health information systems.\n\n19. **The GOI launched the national COVID-19 response in March 2020.** This included non-pharmaceutical interventions such as bans on gatherings, closure of businesses, and use of work shifts in public administration buildings.\nThe measures were successful in limiting the first wave of the pandemic, but their subsequent premature easing contributed to a large second wave of COVID-19 cases. As a result, movement restrictions and a curfew were reinstated from January 14 until March 7, 2021. The GOI reduced spending in non-essential areas and safeguarded budgetary allocations to the Ministry of Health and Environment (MOHE). The GOI also invested in expanding testing and case management capacity. From May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021, the daily number of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests increased 13-fold (from 3,338 to 44,649 RT-PCR tests per day). Although the number of RT-PCR tests has increased, the number of tests performed per one new confirmed case has declined (below 10 tests per confirmed case).\n\n20. **The World Bank has been providing both financial and technical support for the GOI’s COVID-19 response.** In April 2020, US$7.8 million in uncommitted funds under the Health Component of the ongoing Emergency Operation for Development Project (EODP) was mobilized to purchase essential medical equipment for the COVID-19 response, including 136 intensive care beds, 100 ventilators, 17 mobile x-ray machines, and 17 defibrillators. The project was restructured in May 2020 to reallocate US$25.825 million for the procurement of fixed and mobile computed tomography scanners for COVID-19 case management. The World Bank has also been providing TA for COVID-19 response to the MOHE under the I3RF. This includes support to the MOHE in the: (i) assessment of COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, surveillance, infection prevention and control and patient flow; (ii) development of the National Deployment and Vaccination Plan (NDVP) for COVID-19; (iii) design and implementation of a Facebook survey on COVID19 vaccine hesitancy - a first study of its kind in Iraq; and (iv) development of a COVID-19 Vaccination Communication Action Plan, incorporating the results from the survey. Per MOHE’s request, I3RF is also funding additional TA for a social media-based communication campaign to address vaccine hesitancy.\n\n21. **The project will play a critical role in enabling affordable and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines in Iraq.** Improved access to vaccination is needed to limit the spread of the disease and lessen the burden on the already weak health system. COVID-19 vaccination, along with improved diagnostics and therapeutics, is essential to protect lives and enable the country to reopen safely.

Given the importance of limiting the spread of COVID-19 for both health and economic recovery, providing access to COVID-19 vaccines will be critical to accelerate economic and social recovery. The project activities will build on the ongoing World Bank’s COVID-19 response and health sector support, as well as the support of other development partners (Box 1). Under I3RF, the World Bank has coordinated closely with the WHO and UNICEF on supporting the GOI’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts. WHO and UNICEF have provided technical support for vaccine introduction and deployment, including support for training of health workers for vaccination, communication activities, and monitoring and evaluation (e.g., establishing dashboards to track COVID-19 transmission and vaccination). UNICEF is also the procurement agent for COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX Facility and has provided support for the procurement of some cold chain equipment. The World Bank’s financing will build on the activities conducted by other development partners, filling the critical gaps to ensure successful deployment of the vaccines. Most importantly, it will provide the needed financing to expand COVID-19 vaccination coverage.\n\n**Box 1: Roles of Partner Agencies in COVID-19 Vaccination in Iraq**\n\n**WHO** **Financing amount (if known)**\n\n- Providing technical support for vaccine introduction and deployment, including\nstrategies, vaccine safety issues, development guidelines, conducting of training on Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) surveillance for COVID-19 vaccine related issues and other issues of vaccine pharmacovigilance N/A\n\n**UNICEF** **Financing amount (US$)**\n\n- Supporting the development of a roadmap for integration of COVID-19 vaccine\ndeployment with Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) and other primary health care (PHC) services; quantification and forecasting of supply needs; cold chain assessment, procurement and maintenance\n\n- Acting as the procurement agent for the COVID 19 vaccine through the COVAX\nfacility and facilitating the procurement and delivery of vaccines\n\n- Supporting the communication strategy and community engagement\n\n- Supporting the establishment of a robust information system for data\nmanagement, monitoring and reporting, etc.\n\nUS$1,000,000 (for procurement and to fund various PHC services and supplies; cold chain; training of personnel etc.) US$150,000 (communications) US$100,000 (Management Information System (MIS)) 22. **The project is being introduced at a crucial juncture in the GOI’s response to COVID-19.** A critically important change in the state of science since the early stages of the pandemic has been the emergence of new therapies, as well as the successful development and expanding production of COVID-19 vaccines (see Annex 1). A key rationale for the project is to provide upfront financing for safe and effective vaccine acquisition and deployment in Iraq thus enabling the country to acquire the vaccine at the earliest, recognizing that there are currently supply constraints and excess demand for vaccines from both high-income and lower-income countries.\n\n23. **The GOI, with the support of the World Bank, WHO, and UNICEF, has conducted the COVID-19 vaccine readiness**\n**assessment using the integrated Vaccine Introduction Readiness Assessment Tool (VIRAT)/Vaccine Readiness**\n**Assessment Framework (VRAF 2.0) instrument and prepared a comprehensive NDVP (dated February 2021 and**\n**amended on August 8, 2021)** .

It is also aligned with the World Bank’s support for national plans and global commitments to strengthen pandemic preparedness through three key actions under preparedness: (i) improving national preparedness plans including organizational structure of the government; (ii) promoting adherence to the International Health Regulations (IHR); and (iii) utilizing international framework for monitoring and evaluation of IHR. The economic rationale for investing in the MPA interventions is strong, given that success can reduce the economic burden suffered both by individuals and countries. The project contributes to the implementation of the WBG MENA Strategy by providing support to building human capital and strengthening resilience. The project complements both WBG and development partner investments in health systems strengthening, disease control and surveillance, attention to changing individual and institutional behavior, and citizen engagement. The project contributes to the implementation of IHR (2005), Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR), and the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) international standards, the Global Health Security Agenda, the Paris Climate Agreement, the attainment of Universal Health Coverage and of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the promotion of a One Health approach.\n\n29. **The WBG remains committed to providing a fast and flexible response to the COVID-19 epidemic,**\n**utilizing all WBG operational and policy instruments and working in close partnership with government and other**\n**agencies.** Grounded in One-Health, which provides for an integrated approach across sectors and disciplines, the\nproposed WBG response to COVID-19 will include emergency financing, policy advice, and technical assistance, building on existing instruments to support IDA/IBRD-eligible countries in addressing the health sector and broader development impacts of COVID-19. The WBG COVID-19 response will be anchored in the WHO’s COVID-19 global SPRP outlining the public health measures for all countries to prepare for and respond to COVID-19 and sustain their efforts to prevent future outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases.\n\n30. **The project is consistent with the Iraq Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for FY22-26, discussed on August**\n**3, 2021 (Report #153633-IQ) and contributes directly to CPF Objective 2.1. (Effective and Efficient Deployment of**\n**COVID-19 Vaccines and Health Systems Strengthening).** Similarly, the Strategic Country Diagnostic dated February 8,\n2017 (Report #112333-IQ) identified “Rebuilding the Social Contract and State Legitimacy” as a priority through, _inter_ _alia_, improving the delivery of public services to fortify trust and legitimacy between citizens and the state. The need to invest in health systems to ensure the productive capabilities of the population is recognized, as is the challenge of overcoming a legacy of limited investment in human capital and social resilience systems. The project will be an important step towards building the strength of the health system and its resilience to shocks. The project is also aligned with both global health priorities and World Bank priorities in pandemic preparedness.

Specifically, this will include the purchase of approximately 6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines that meet the World Bank’s VAC. This is expected to cover 3 million individuals or approximately 7 percent of the population in Iraq. The vaccines financed under the project will be prioritized for groups most at risk as defined in the NDVP.

The project will prioritize supporting Iraq to address the key gaps identified by the readiness assessment, in close coordination with WHO, UNICEF, and other development partners. Given the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 vaccination, the activities will be updated throughout project implementation through time-bound work plans agreed with the MOHE.\nTo the extent possible, sustainable, and high efficiency energy solutions will be defined to improve the deployment of vaccines. Technical assistance can be provided to ensure that energy efficiency standards for upgraded cold chain are applied for COVID-19 vaccines and beyond, including through the development of micro-plans to integrate climaterelated considerations (e.g., energy efficiency or promotion of hybrid energy source consumption for cold chain). The project will also support the procurement of effective and low-emissions health care waste management equipment that will contribute to improving the resilience of health care waste management systems to extreme precipitation.\nIn addition, the financing will support the implementation of the COVID-19 communication action plan by the MOHE and hired firms. Communication campaigns will be tailored where necessary to specific groups (e.g., women in rural groups, IDPs) and include information on procedures/plans in case of extreme weather or other climate-changeinduced events.\n\n**38.** **Component 2: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) (US$3 million, including IBRD and**\n**I3RF).** This component will support the coordination, implementation, and management of project activities, including\nthird party monitoring.\n\n**39.** _**Sub-component 2.1.

Specifically, this may include support for: (i) the supervision by MOHE teams of the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines and installation, functionality, and use of equipment and supplies acquired under the project; (ii) development of a system for project monitoring and evaluation by the PMU team; (iii) hiring of an external auditor for the project; (iv) hiring of a media production company to assist with the production of relevant materials for dissemination to project beneficiaries. This component will monitor COVID-19 vaccines deployment and therefore improve data collection, analysis, reporting and use of data for action and decision-making. Climate and gender-specific activities supported by the project will also be monitored.\n\n40. _**Sub-component 2.2.

According to the NDVP, they will be vaccinated by vaccination teams within the nearest health district or the nearest health center after providing proof that they are displaced or have refugee status. The central committees in the health district can also use fixed or mobile MOHE medical clinics located within the camps, or health institutions or the sites of supporting organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) located inside the camps provided that all the logistical requirements for vaccination are available according to the type of vaccine.

To overcome vaccine hesitancy and avoid wastage of vaccines, the GOI expanded the vaccination eligibility to the entire adult population, while continuing to prioritize health workers and those above the age of 60 years. Having started this policy, the GOI is not able to reverse it, and, as such, the vaccination is currently open to all individuals ages 18 or older residing in Iraq. While eligibility is open to all individuals in Iraq 18 years or older, the MOHE continues to prioritize groups pre-defined in the NDVP, including through the use of mobile vaccination sites.\n\n43. **The MOHE developed a digital registry for COVID-19 vaccination**, which includes four components: (i) preregistration; (ii) appointment scheduling; (iii) vaccination; and (iv) tracking AEFI. Online preregistration is encouraged for vaccination. All residents of Iraq are eligible to pre-register. [9] To ensure universal access, staff at vaccination centers will also be able to register on behalf of the recipient, and individuals can also register directly at the vaccination sites.\n\n**Box 2: Liability and Indemnification Issues in Vaccine Acquisition**\n\nThe rapid development of vaccines increases manufacturers’ potential liability for AEFI. Manufacturers want to protect themselves from this risk by including immunity from suit and liability clauses, indemnification provisions, and other limitation of liability clauses in their supply contracts. Contractual provisions and domestic legal frameworks can all operate to allocate that risk among market participants, but no mechanism will eliminate this risk entirely. Iraq has signed indemnity agreements that were satisfactory to providers (e.g., Pfizer) and has introduced corresponding legislation. On February 20, 2021 the Council of Ministers issued a decree authorizing the MOHE to sign contracts with vaccine manufacturers waiving liability. The Parliament subsequently adopted the Law on the Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic (Law No. 9) on March 8, 2021. The Law includes provisions to provide statutory immunity for manufacturers and calls for an establishment of a national no fault compensation scheme. The GOI, however, has not taken any actions yet to establish the no fault compensation scheme system. Possible World Bank support to Iraq, depending on needs, may include information sharing on lessons from other countries in implementing a national no fault compensation scheme and Hand-on Expanded Implementation Support. The project operation documents (for example, POM) will clarify that the country’s regulatory authority is responsible for its own assessment of the project COVID-19 vaccines’ safety and efficacy and is solely responsible for the authorization and deployment of vaccines in the country.\n\n9 https://cov19reg.phd.iq/ Page 22 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["digital registry for COVID-19 vaccination"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**B.

The POM will include: (i) description of COVID-19 vaccine deployment activities to ensure inclusive, safe, efficient and effective deployment following a ‘whole of Iraq’ approach; (ii) environmental and social requirements; (iii) personal data protection measures; and (iv) fiduciary (procurement and financial management) requirements. The project will be carried out in accordance with the arrangements and procedures set out in the POM, which can be amended from time to time, provided all modifications are agreed upon with the World Bank in writing prior to any changes taking effect. The POM will also include a Vaccine Delivery and Distribution Manual (VDDM) to define the operational aspects of vaccine deployment, including the details related to the distribution of vaccines eligible for retroactive financing that have already been deployed to enable third-party verification.\n\n49. Large volumes of personal data, personally identifiable information and sensitive data are likely to be collected and used in connection with the management of the COVID-19 outbreak under circumstances where measures to ensure the legitimate, appropriate and proportionate use and processing of that data may not feature in national law or data governance regulations or be routinely collected and managed in health information systems. In order to guard against abuse, the project will incorporate best international practices for data privacy in such circumstances. The PMU will ensure that these principles apply through assessments of existing or development of new data governance mechanisms and data standards for emergency and routine health care, data sharing protocols, rules or regulations, revision of relevant regulations, training, sharing of global experience, unique identifiers for health system clients, strengthening of health information systems, etc.\n\nPage 24 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) 50. **A TPMA will be contracted by the MOHE using grant financing from I3RF.** The TPMA will be responsible for monitoring compliance of the vaccination efforts with Iraq’s NDVP and WHO standards, as well as World Bank requirements on technical, environmental, and social issues.

The TPMA role can be fulfilled by a United Nations (UN) agency (or agencies), international or local non-governmental organizations (NGO), or consulting firms that meet the criteria agreed upon between the World Bank and MOHE.\n\n**B.** **Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n51. **Progress towards project objectives and results indicators will be monitored by the PMU.** The PMU will include monitoring and evaluation specialists who will be responsible for collecting and processing relevant data, working closely with the Directorate of Public Health. The MOHE has established a system for monitoring the implementation of the vaccination campaign in line with the NDVP according to which the Inspection Directorate at the MOHE and its branches in all health directorates will be responsible for monitoring vaccination activities.\n\n**C.** **Sustainability**\n\n52. **There is strong political commitment in Iraq to mobilize financial resources for COVID-19 response, including**\n**for vaccine purchase and deployment.** By supporting vaccine purchase and deployment, the project will establish an\nenabling environment for other development partners, including multilateral development banks and UN agencies, to contribute to supporting vaccination efforts in the country. Investments under the project are expected to strengthen the health system in the country, ensuring institutional sustainability to deal with infectious diseases.\n\n**V.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n**A.** **Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n53. **The World Bank conducted a technical review of Iraq’s NDVP.** While readiness gaps exist, it is critical to note that such gaps need to be put into perspective. First, globally, no country can claim or should aim for full readiness before COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Second, based on the findings of the Effective Vaccine Management (EVM) 2.0, which was implemented in in July 2019, the overall rating for Iraq was 82 percent, indicating that Iraq’s vaccine supply chains and supply chain performance are slightly above WHO recommended minimum score of 80 percent. Third, one of the biggest concerns with messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines like Pfizer’s is the ultracold chain requirement.\nSuch ultracold chain already exists in Iraq for the currently planned Pfizer doses with the government’s procurement of 75 ultra-low temperature freezers. Based on the lessons learned with the initial vaccine delivery, the GOI will continuously adapt the NDVP for subsequent rollout of vaccines.\n\n54. **The economic rationale for investment in a COVID-19 vaccine is strong, considering the massive and**\n**continuing health and economic losses due to the pandemic** . As of September 20, 2021, over 228 million COVID-19\ncases and 4.7 million deaths have been confirmed worldwide. Global output is projected to have declined by 4.9 percent in 2020, with cumulative losses across 2020 and 2021 exceeding US$12 trillion. The primary benefit of Page 25 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) successful vaccination will be avoiding further human health costs from death and sickness. Global deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine will also generate economic benefits by enabling economic recovery and an increase in productive activity. Ensuring vaccine purchase and delivery in developing economies will also achieve significant distributive benefits and contribute to poverty reduction.\n\n55. **The successful development, production, and delivery of a vaccine has the best potential to reverse these**\n**trends, generating benefits that will far exceed vaccine-related costs.** Indeed, a rapid and well-targeted deployment\nof a COVID-19 vaccine would help reduce the increases in poverty and accelerate economic recovery. Even at levels of imperfect effectiveness, a COVID-19 vaccine that is introduced and deployed effectively to priority populations would assist in significantly reducing mortality and the spread of the coronavirus and accelerating a safe reopening of key sectors that are impacted. It would also reverse human capital losses by ensuring schools are reopened. The effective administration of a COVID-19 vaccine will also help avoid the associated health care costs for potentially millions of additional cases of infection and associated health-related impoverishment. Global experience with immunization against diseases shows that by avoiding these and other health costs, vaccines are one of the best buys in public health. For the most vulnerable population groups, especially in countries without effective universal health coverage, the potential health-related costs of millions of additional cases of COVID-19 infection in the absence of a vaccine represent a significant or even catastrophic financial impact and risk of impoverishment. The pandemic is also having dire effects on other non-COVID health outcomes. Increased morbidity and mortality due to interruption of essential services associated with COVID-19 containment measures hinder access to care for other health needs of the population, including maternal and childcare services, routine immunization services have been affected, threatening polio eradication and potentially leading to new outbreaks of preventable diseases, with associated deaths, illnesses, and long-term costs. Simultaneous epidemics are overwhelming public health systems in different countries that had few resources to begin with, and services needed to address the needs of people with chronic health conditions, and mental and substance use disorders have also been disrupted.\n\n56. **While the uncertainty around the costs and effectiveness of a COVID-19 vaccine makes it difficult to calculate**\n**its cost-effectiveness, the effective launch of a COVID-19 vaccine will have direct benefits in terms of averted costs**\n**of treatment and disability, as well as strengthened health systems.** Estimated COVID-19 treatment costs from lowand middle-income countries is at US$50 for a non-severe case and US$300 for a severe case. This excludes costs of\ntesting of negative cases, as well as the medical costs associated with delayed or forgone care-seeking, which usually results in higher costs. Even if the vaccine averts 2 million non-severe cases and no other benefits are considered, the investment will break even. Further, investments in vaccine delivery systems generate health and economic benefits beyond just delivering the COVID-19 vaccine. First, investments in last-mile delivery systems to administer the COVID19 vaccine to remote communities will require strengthening community health systems, which would have spillover effects to effective delivery of other services, helping close the significant urban-rural gap. Second, as the COVID-19 vaccine is introduced and lockdowns and movement restrictions are eased, patients would continue to access care for other conditions. Third, the economic benefits of slowing down the economic downturn are likely to significantly exceed the US$100 million needed to vaccinate 7 percent of the population, leaving aside the immediate health benefits. Given both the economic and health system benefits, an effectively deployed COVID-19 vaccine presents significant benefits.\n\n**B.** **Financial Management**\n\n57. The World Bank undertook an assessment of the financial management (FM) system within the MOHE, during the preparation of the ongoing Iraq EODP (P155732). The FM assessment was updated for the purpose of the project Page 26 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) in accordance with the World Bank Policy on the Investment Project Financing (IPF) and in line with paragraph 12 of section III of the IPF policy, as the project is in situation of urgent need of assistance or capacity constraints. The assessment was updated remotely considering the nationwide movement restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\nThe FM assessment of MOHE concluded that with the implementation of agreed actions, the FM arrangements will satisfy the Bank requirements.\n\n58. Due to the nature of this project and the urgent need of assistance, the FM approach was streamlined and based on more simplified ex-ante requirements, while relying more heavily on ex-post requirements as additional fiduciary controls and review.\n\n59. Annex 3 provides additional information on the FM assessment and the agreed mitigation measures.\n\n60. The schedule of loan disbursements will be significantly influenced by the availability of vaccines. The World Bank will provide financial and risk assurances to manufacturers under advance purchase mechanisms.\n\n61. The deployment of vaccines funded by the project (including retroactive financing) will be subject to tight controls to mitigate risks. The supply chain will be closely monitored by a TPMA and a robust internal control framework (including for the supply chain) will be designed and established prior to the receipt and deployment of any project-funded vaccines.\n\n**C.** **Procurement**\n\n62. **Applicable procurement regulations** . Procurement will be carried out in accordance with the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers, dated November 2020, and is subject to the World Bank’s “Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants”, dated October 15, 2006, and revised in January 2011, and as of July 1, 2016. Procurement under this project is also being processed under paragraph 20 of OP 11.00 “ _Procurement under Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance or_ _Capacity Constraints_ ”, where “ _Simplified Procurement Procedures_ ” may apply in accordance with paragraph 12 of the IPF policy. This will enable the delivery of early visible results in a context of extreme needs and high expectations in the targeted project areas. The project will use the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) to plan, record, and track procurement transactions.\n\n63. **The major planned procurement include:** (i) purchase of approximately 6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, (ii) procurement of equipment for health care waste management, (iii) refining the electronic registration system for vaccination, (iv) procurement of vaccine logistics and supply chain management; (v) communication initiatives to address vaccine hesitancy, (vi) hiring a TPMA, and (vii) other technical assistance needed for vaccine rollout. The GOI has contracted 12 million doses from Pfizer to be delivered by the end of 2021, of which 6 million doses are expected to be financed under retroactive financing. The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement was reviewed and cleared retroactively by the World Bank. In addition, advance procurement will be used for the selection of the TPMA to ensure the project becomes effective in a timely manner and third-party monitoring can be initiated at the start of project implementation. The draft request for proposal (RFP) including the TOR has been prepared and the selection process will be prior reviewed by the Bank under advance procurement.\n\n64. The proposed procurement approach for other non-vaccine purchases prioritizes fast-track emergency Page 27 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) procurement for required emergency goods and services. Key measures to fast track procurement include among others: (i) direct contracting of United Nations (UN) Agencies to supply goods and services as specified in Section VI (Para 6.47 and 6.48) and Section VII (Para 7.27 and 7.28) of the applicable Procurement Regulations, respectively; (ii) limited bidding where justified; (iii) Request for Quotations (RFQ) as appropriate; (iv) streamlined competitive procedures with shorter bidding time; and (v) use of framework agreements including existing ones procured in a satisfactory manner to the Bank.\n\n**65.** **Assessment of MOHE‘s procurement capacity.** The assessment of the procurement system within the MOHE\nwas carried out during the preparation of the ongoing Iraq EODP (P155732) and recorded in the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System (PRAM). It was noted that MOHE through the PMU has limited experience in World Bank Procurement Regulations and limited experience in procurement planning, monitoring, and contract management. In addition, procurement of COVID-19 vaccines is subject to high level of uncertainties in terms of prices and quantities. The major issue facing Iraq public procurement is the current uncertainty of public procurement law and regulations and their enforcement, including outdated practices. Additionally, Iraq’s ability to manage public resources is undermined by poor security. Iraq ranks among the lowest in the region on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index. This is further compounded by limited human capital for procurement and contract management, as commonly evidenced by delays in decision making. In addition, there is a general lack of emphasis on procurement, including principles in areas such as transparency, conflict of interest, independent complaint mechanism, value for money, fit for purpose, among others. Based on the above, **the residual procurement risk for**\n**this project is High.**\n\n66. **Hands-on Expanded Implementation Support (HEIS)** . At the Borrower’s request, the Bank may provide Hands on Expanded Implementation Support (HEIS) to support and build the capacity of staff directly involved in the project in drafting procurement documents and agreements with UN agencies/NGOs to speed up implementation. However, the MOHE will remain fully responsible for signing and entering into contracts and implementation, including assuring relevant logistics with suppliers (e.g., arranging the necessary freight/shipment of the goods to their destination, receiving and inspecting goods).\n\n67. **Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD)** defines how the identified procurement arrangements will enable delivery of value-for-money in achieving the PDO by supporting a fit-for-purpose reconstruction and enhancement of services, where bidding will be done with no substantial delays and no rebidding, and cost and time overruns will be prevented. The preparation of the PPSD is deferred to the project implementation phase.\n\n68. **Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP).** The PMU at MOHE will use the World Bank online procurement planning and tracking tool to prepare, clear and update its procurement plans and conduct procurement transactions as referred to in the Procurement Regulations Section V, article 5.9. Any contract not uploaded in STEP, with award notification not being uploaded prior to signing of contracts, will not be eligible for financing **.** The World Bank will organize training on STEP before project effectiveness to register the PMU users and familiarize them with the STEP system. An initial procurement plan for the first six months has been agreed on with the MOHE and will be updated during implementation using STEP.\n\n69. **Complaint mechanism** . The complaint handling mechanism specified in the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations and included in the World Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs) will be followed when Bank SPDs are used irrespective of the situation within the country. For the national procedures, Regulation No. 2 of 2014 of “Executing Public Contracting” in Iraq, establishes the right of bidder to raise a complaint to a centralized committee Page 28 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System", "Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index", "World Bank online procurement planning and tracking tool"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) at each procuring entity. However, bidders do not have adequate access to independent administrative review and appeal processes and access to civil courts is perceived as inadequate. To enhance the administrative bidders’ complaints review system, the POM will include a section on how to handle complaints that includes the initial submission of complaint by the bidders to the contracting authority, formal requirements for a complaint, establishment of a complaint committee, decision on the complaints, standard response time to decision on complaints, etc.\n\n70. **Dispute resolution systems** . When the Bank’s SPDs are used, the conditions of the contracts in the Bank’s SPDs apply. When national procedures are used, the condition of contracts in the national documents would apply through amicable resolution, dispute resolution board, and arbitration.\n\n71. **Frequency of supervision.** World Bank implementation support missions and post-procurement reviews will be undertaken at least twice and once a year, respectively. The post-procurement reviews will cover all project-related contracts eligible for post review.\n\n**D.** **Legal Operational Policies**\n\n**.** .\n\n**Triggered?**\n\nProjects on International Waterways OP 7.50 No Projects in Disputed Areas OP 7.60 No .\n\n**E.** **Environmental and Social Standards**\n\n71. **Environmental risk rating** . The environmental risk associated with the project is substantial. The main environmental risks identified at this stage are: (i) the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues related to testing and handling of supplies during vaccination; (ii) the logistical challenges in transporting vaccines across the country in a timely manner, adhering to the recommended temperature and transportation requirements; (iii) generation and management of medical health care waste; (iv) community health and safety issues related to unforeseen effects of vaccination, traffic/road safety risks associated with transporting vaccines as well as with handling, transportation, disposal of hazardous and infectious health care waste and further spread of COVID-19 during the vaccination process due to gatherings and close proximity; and (v) increase of water and energy use. Infectious waste from vaccination campaigns such as used sharps (needles), specimen cultures and biological waste pose a high risk to human health and the environment, if inadequately managed.\n\n72. **Social risk rating** . It is anticipated that the project will have positive social impacts both at the individual and community levels. However, the social risk associated with activities under this component is substantial. The anticipated risks include: (i) inequitable access for marginalized and vulnerable social groups including disabled, elderly, internally displaced populations and refugees to access vaccines, (ii) social conflict, and risks to human security resulting from limited availability of vaccines and social tensions related to the challenges of a pandemic situation; (iii) gender inequalities and social norms to access critical health services such as vaccinations; (iv) Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/ Sexual Harassment (SEA/SH) risks among patients and health care providers, especially in relation to distribution of lifesaving vaccines; (v) inappropriate data protection measures and insufficient/not effective stakeholder communication on the vaccine rollout strategy; (vi) risks associated with adverse events following Page 29 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) immunization, (vii) the risk of elite capture and/or corruption as the COVID-19 vaccine will be in short supply relative to the demand; and (viii) the potential social risks due to the security risks including the engagement of security personnel for the transportation of vaccines and the protection of vaccination sites .\n\n73. **To manage these risks, the MOHE has prepared an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF),**\n**a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), and an Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP).** The ESMF covers\nthe procedures for screening and identification of the environmental and social risks as well as the mitigation measures to be implemented for the project activities. It includes an Infection Control and Waste Management Plan, which describes in detail appropriate waste management practices to be utilized under the project. The ESMF also includes an elaboration of roles and responsibilities within the PMU and the MOHE, training requirements, timing of implementation and budgets. The ESMF includes a chapter on Labor Management Procedures (LMP) to manage risks associated with labor and working conditions of project workers, including proper working conditions and management of worker relationships; occupational health and safety (OHS) and mitigations to COVID-19 specific risks; grievance redress mechanism; and capacity strengthening for social, environment, health, and safety management. The ESMF also includes security risk management. It includes mitigation measures to address GBV risks. The Code of Conduct attached to the ESMF will establish a framework of ethical standards and rules, which is binding for relevant project workers. The Code of Conduct lays down provisions that help to deal with GBV-related risks. The ESMF has been disclosed on the MOHE website and on the World Bank website on September 21, 2021.\n\n74. On June 24, 2021, the MOHE conducted a virtual consultation session with different stakeholders (e.g., environmental directorates in governorates, health directorates in governorates, NGOs, CSOs, academics, research centers, etc.). Based on the outcome of the consultations, the SEP has been prepared and the MOHE will implement inclusive stakeholder engagement activities throughout the project life. The SEP has been disclosed on the MOHE website and the World Bank website on September 7, 2021.\n\n75. The MOHE has developed the ESCP to ensure project compliance with the Environmental and Social Standards, the World Bank Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Guidelines and the environmental and social instruments of the project. The ESCP has been disclosed on September 7, 2021. The MOHE has assigned six environmental and social specialists (including two environmental specialists, two social specialists, one communications specialist, and one GRM officer) to support management of environmental, social, health and safety (ESHS) risks and impacts of the project in accordance with the ESF requirements.\n\n76. **Role of the military.** Due to ongoing conflict and instability in the country, the project will require appropriate security arrangements for the safe deployment of vaccines. Upon request by Pfizer, the National Coordination Committee issued a decision for the security forces to accompany the distribution of Pfizer’s shipments. The Iraq national army, reporting to the Joint Operations Command under the Ministry of Defense, accompanies the cold trucks to secure transportation of the vaccine shipments from the airport to the place of destination. In addition, security forces under the Facilities Protection Directorate of the Ministry of Interior are present outside vaccination sites to provide protection. The security forces are represented at the high-level multi-sectoral committee for COVID-19 (established by Decree no. 217 issued by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers), chaired by the Minister of Health. Based on the nature of roles of security forces in this project, the security personnel will have very limited direct interaction with communities and project workers. The potential social risks of engaging security forces are therefore assessed as insignificant. The ESMF includes appropriate security risk mitigation measures, including the proportionate use of force, code of conduct for security personnel, and grievance redress.\n\nPage 30 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) 77. **Rapid Environmental and Social Assessment.** A baseline assessment is currently being undertaken by the Bank to measure the environmental and social impacts of the vaccination program at the national and local levels to: (i) assess the environmental and social (E&S) systems, guidelines and institutional capacity put in place by GOI for COVID-19 vaccine procurement and deployment against the requirements of the E&S Standards, World Bank Group (WBG) EHS General Guidelines, WBG EHS Health Guidelines for Health Care Facilities and relevant WHO guidelines; and (ii) assess the E&S aspects of ongoing vaccine deployment activities implemented by the GOI. The findings of the assessment will be used to further enhance the project’s environmental and social risk management. The project’s environmental and social instruments will be updated following completion of the assessment, as appropriate.\n\n**F.** **Climate Co-Benefits**\n\n**78.** **The effects of climate change are large and exacerbate the already significant environmental, security, political**\n**and economic challenges in Iraq.** It is thus critical to increase Iraq’s resilience capacity for current and future crises.\nOver 40 percent of the country is desert and is sparsely populated due to harsh weather conditions. In many parts of the country, good quality water is sparse due to salinity. Desertification and water scarcity due to river flow fluctuations render Iraq vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Forecasts suggest that the average annual temperature will increase by 2 degrees Celsius by 2050, with a higher frequency of heat waves. Among others, this will negatively impact agricultural productivity, increase water scarcity, and intensify epidemics. Increase in temperatures is also known to be a direct cause of death, especially among the elderly who may suffer from strokes or heart attacks in extreme heat environments and who are also highly vulnerable to COVID-19.\n\n**79.** **The project has been screened for climate change and disaster risks and is highly exposed to extreme**\n**temperature and drought** . The most at-risk groups from climate-related exposures coincide with those vulnerable to\nCOVID-19. These include women, who form a large proportion of frontline workers in Iraq including health workers, caregivers, and teachers; the elderly; individuals who are ill, including with chronic diseases; the poor, displaced and marginalized who mostly reside in crowded locations with poor access to water and sanitation. However, the risk to project activities and outcomes is categorized as moderate due to several adaptation measures. Relevant mitigation measures have also been integrated in project design and will reduce the impact of the project’s activities on the environment and reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Dust storms which are common in Iraq and correlate with dry/arid climatic conditions contribute to vulnerability of population to climate change and to COVID-19 vulnerability.\nThe project will help improve survival rates in patients who are vulnerable to climate change and dust storms.\nTherefore, vaccination could be viewed as a climate change adaptation measure.\n\n**80.** **The project intends to address climate change, address vulnerabilities, enhance climate resilience and**\n**adaptation, and mitigate GHG emissions through several activities** . The nationwide vaccination efforts supported by\nthis project considerably reduce the need for energy-intensive treatment in hospital critical care units, that would have otherwise been required, thus preventing adverse climate change consequences. Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines is key to climate resilience for several reasons. Firstly, the population group to first receive the vaccines are those vital to supporting the health care system (medical professions and support staff) and ensuring the continuity of essential public services, including to populations affected by climate change. Secondly, the project ensures that those most at risk from both the virus as well as from the health impacts of climate change are effectively targeted for COVID-19 vaccination. The GOI aims to cover almost two thirds of its population to achieve herd immunity thereby reducing the health risks of these climate vulnerable groups. Further, the communications strategy will inform the general population on the GOI vaccine deployment strategy during extraordinary events including natural disasters. This will Page 31 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) contribute to increasing the preparedness of the population in the event of a climate-related disaster. Finally, the widespread loss of power may seriously threaten the COVID-19 vaccine cold chain as vaccine conservation standards will be impacted. Therefore, as an adaptation measure, some of the cold chain equipment purchased will be off-grid solar equipment/supplies such as solar powered fridges and freezers that will provide reliable 24/7 power and efficient cooling. The NDVP includes measures to deal with any unexpected disruptions to the vaccine supply chain, distribution and storage from climate change impacts and other unexpected disasters (i.e., power outages from flooding and extreme heat).\n\n**81.** **The project includes activities from which adaptation co-benefits are expected.** These activities include technical\nassistance to update the national deployment and vaccination plans; support to integration of vaccination database with other health information systems; and a communication campaign to provide information to climate-vulnerable populations on vaccine delivery and contingency plans in case of extreme weather.\n\n**82.** **Climate change mitigation co-benefits will be generated under the project through** : (i) support for effective health\ncare waste management, such as use of non-burn technologies; and (ii) support for the development of micro-plans that promote the use of high energy efficiency or hybrid energy consumption.\n\n**83.** The project will support the procurement and deployment of approximately 170 integrated sterilization-shredding\nmachines in the amount of US$24 million to provide for instant and safe disposal of medical waste arising from the COVID-19 vaccine deployment. The machines can shred and disinfect medicine bottles, tubes, blister packs, catheters, syringes, glucose bottles, blood bags, ampoule bottles, and used needles. Utilizing only water and electricity, the machines using newer technology do not require any chemicals to operate and produce shredded disinfected waste that can be disposed of through regular municipal waste channels. The machines do not produce any emissions and provide a safer alternative for operators and the surrounding environment through minimizing human interference and/or contact with raw medical waste or the final by product. Further, owing to the slow and minimal nature of its internal mechanical parts, the machines provide anywhere from 20 to 40 percent less consumption in electricity. In addition, the average life span of the machines is 12-15 full years of operational functionality. This comes in contrast to the regular separate autoclave and shredder machines, which have 8-10 years of productive service, on average.\nFinally, the introduction of such machines will minimize the environmental, medical, and social hazards associated with the process of collection, storage, transportation, and disposal through regular incineration process of medical waste management.\n\n**G.** **Citizen Engagement**\n\n**84.** A key part of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign is the community engagement and outreach element of the\noverall framework and implementation plan put in place by the GOI to tackle the pandemic during its various stages.\nThe engagement of communities is critical to build community knowledge and confidence, establish trust, ensure governments respond to community needs (including vulnerable groups), and is thus a critical component of the COVID-19 response. The GOI recognizes the importance of citizen engagement in the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.\nThis is clearly demonstrated in the Demand Generation and Community Engagement Plan for COVID-19 Vaccines in Iraq developed under I3RF, which seeks to: (i) effectively communicate with the Iraqi population about COVID-19 vaccination to ensure vaccine acceptance and encourage uptake; and (ii) empower communities in feedback and accountability measures to improve decision making and service delivery related to vaccination.\n\nPage 32 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["vaccination database"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**85.** To support the equitable implementation of subcomponent 1.2 on Support for Deployment of COVID-19 Vaccines\nand Component 2 on Project Management and M&E, the project will support the implementation of the Demand General and Community Engagement Plan through the development of:\n\n- communication strategies, mass campaigns and information, education and awareness building to disseminate\nofficial information to communities and sensitize citizens of the risks related to COVID-19, supported by tailored awareness raising on preventative actions and the GOI’s COVID-19 response;\n\n- participatory platforms to engage communities in assessing needs and prioritizing solutions and ensure\ncommunity members, vulnerable groups (elderly, disabled, large households), and community-based organizations are able to articulate local needs (for immediate emergency needs or for reestablishing livelihoods).\n\n- a participatory monitoring and reporting mechanism to enable communities to help monitor the COVID-19\nresponse at the local level. At the outset this might include identification of gaps at the point of service delivery (information availability, access to testing, access to relevant care, equal treatment etc.) to ensure inclusivity and identify improvements for GRM.\n\n**86.** While these processes ensure that communities can provide informed feedback and play a role in local monitoring,\nthe challenge of implementation lies in social distancing policies. To ensure that communities can engage nevertheless, the project will actively engage with citizens to collect feedback on project performance, including through the use of the Iterative Beneficiary Monitoring (IBM) survey and social media surveys. Findings from such surveys will be used to improve the communication campaign and citizen engagement. Through the IBM, as well as social media surveys, engagement with community and religious leaders, especially in remote areas, will ensure the inclusion of their ongoing feedback in the rollout and implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign to strengthen targeting accuracy and increase uptake. To ensure citizen engagement, the project will: (a) ensure community engagement teams are gender-balanced; (b) target messages to areas where vulnerable groups, including refugees and IDPs, reside to inform them about safety measures and benefits; (c) tailor messages to the elderly and those with medical risks including their target family members and health care providers; and (d) provide information for disabled people in accessible formats, like Braille, large print; text captioning; videos etc. The project will also explore the possibility of including NGO representation in oversight bodies established to oversee transparent and inclusive administration of vaccines.\n\n**H.** **Gender**\n\n**87.** Gender inequities and norms influence access to critical health services, as well as risk of exposure to disease,\nparticularly in emergency situations and pandemics. Factors that constrain access to and use of health services by women in Iraq include limited mobility and financial capacity, competing demands of paid and unpaid work, and limited access to information. [10] The reported incidence of COVID-19 is higher among men than women – 59 percent of registered COVID-19 cases in Iraq to date were among men. Moreover, women have also been impacted by the discontinuity of essential RMNCAH-N services, including for maternal and sexual and reproductive health, and GBV. [11] The GBV Information Management System (GBVIMS) has recorded a marked rise in the number of reported incidents of violence in 2020.

According to the findings of the Facebook survey\nconducted under I3RF, only 25 percent of female respondents indicated they would get vaccinated when the COVID19 vaccine is made available compared to 40 percent of male respondents. Actual vaccination coverage shows more stark gender differences in uptake, with men receiving approximately 65 percent of vaccines delivered to date. [13] Until recently, nursing mothers and pregnant women were not eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines. This can also partly explain the lower vaccination rates among women.\n\n**89.** Lack of understanding of the benefits and importance of the vaccine could have serious repercussions in the uptake\namong priority population groups, especially women who have more limited options to access information than men.\nFor example, 67 percent of women in Iraq use the Internet compared to 84 percent of men. These gender dimensions intersect with other inequities, particularly for populations that are poor, with limited access to formal education, living in hard-to-reach areas, temporary or informal settlements, or living with disabilities.\n\n**90.** Specific considerations in terms of media tools and messaging will be made when targeting women, men, and\nvulnerable populations in rural areas who are much more likely to have limited access to information. The project aims to do this by training female workers in community-based organizations and women-led NGOs to help with the dissemination of vaccine information and ensure that the targeted messaging will resonate and lead to vaccination awareness and uptake among women and men. The communication plan will ensure registration/vaccination sites be made accessible to women by taking into account timing and locations convenient for them and that female workers will be available at sites to answer questions. Additional details will be included in the POM. All data collection, monitoring, and analysis will be done in a sex-disaggregated way to the extent possible.\n\n**91.** The project components also address gender dimensions with targeted interventions including: (i) positive\ndiscrimination in vaccine registration and targeting activities to increase the proportion of women receiving the vaccine to discontinue the trend of male preferencing; (ii) integration of gender-responsive approaches in communication strategies with the public, including use of multiple accessible mediums in local languages; (iii) use of targeted messaging, and the creation of responsive platforms for registry of inquiries and grievances through a variety of mediums to target women and different vulnerable groups; and (iv) support for promotion of awareness and use of gender-based violence services, including the expanded network of integrated services at health facilities that offer medical, legal, psychosocial support and referrals. These services are offered by health facility staff that received GBV counselling and messaging as part of their regular on-the-job training to support and direct vulnerable women to specific support channels and resources. MOHE, supported by UN agencies, developed a remote and face-to-face GBV counseling flowchart targeting primary health care workers to clarify management methods and referral pathways.\nThese service adaptations were informed by a rapid assessment of available health care options for survivors of GBV during the COVID-19 outbreak. The survey included health care workers from primary health care centers, hospitals, and mobile medical clinics from 16 districts in Iraq. Of those surveyed, 69 percent of health facilities reported that their staff have already been trained on GBV. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, 81 percent of health facilities surveyed have already updated their referral pathways. Among those health facilities, 95 percent included GBV services in their updates. These interventions will be monitored and measured through the project’s results framework, TPMA reports, and through ESF instruments.\n\n13 Sex-disaggregated data by priority group on vaccination uptake is not available, however, the gender gap in uptake among these groups is likely to be similar to the overall trend. This project will contribute to collection of sex-disaggregated data across priority groups whenever possible.\n\nPage 34 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["Facebook survey"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**I.** **Grievance redress mechanisms**\n\n**92.** The MOHE has established a GRM system with a dedicated hotline (07901939809 and 07726180982) and an email\naddress for grievances and feedback. The project will further strengthen the GRM system to enable stakeholders to raise their concerns, comments, and suggestions. The hotline number will be publicized throughout the country using broadcast, print, and social media. The GRM also includes an appeal process for unresolved grievances. The MOHE PMU will assign a communication specialist and a dedicated GRM officer to closely monitor the implementation of the environmental and social mitigation measures as per the relevant ESF instruments to ensure adequate implementation of the GRM dedicated to the vaccination deployment. The GRM will be equipped to handle cases of SEA/SH following a survivor-centered approach and guidance on how to respond to these cases will be developed and shared with operators.\nIndividuals will be able to use the GRM to submit anonymous and non-anonymous feedback (e.g., complaints, suggestions, and queries) regarding the project.\n\n**VI. GRIEVANCE REDRESS SERVICES**\n\n92. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS).\nThe GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures.\nComplaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service (GRS), please visit: [http://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/products-](http://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/products-and-services/grievance-redress-service)\n[and-services/grievance-redress-service.

Specific risk assessments and associated mitigation measures related to planned vaccination are informed by the findings of relevant assessments in Iraq, including the VIRAT/VRAF 2.0, and are described below.\n\n94. **Risk associated with the technical design of the project is substantial.** The large-scale acquisition and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines entails significant risks. First, the GOI has only secured access to 31.35 million vaccines to date, covering 38 percent of the population. Second, the vaccines may not be purchased in a timely manner. Third, a mass vaccination effort stretches capacity, particularly in low-capacity environments such as Iraq, entailing risks. The Bank support for Iraq to develop vaccination acquisition strategies and investment in deployment system capacity specifically aim to mitigate these risks. Fourth, there remains a possibility that health facilities will be simultaneously using vaccines that do not meet Bank’s VAC and are not supported by the project. This risk will be mitigated through vaccine traceability efforts to monitor vaccine deployment and associated side effects. These risks must be considered against the risk of the Page 35 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) country having less timely and effective deployment of vaccines, potentially exacerbating development gaps and eroding past development gains.\n\n95. **Political and governance risks are high.** The political and governance risks are related to the commitment and ability of the authorities to ensure appropriate targeting of the project-supported vaccines to reach the priority populations, based on objective public health criteria, and ability to manage public sentiment should there be a gap between vaccine targets and vaccine delivery. These risks will be mitigated through the assurance mechanisms that the project will support, such as the enhancement of the digital registry platform for targeting and monitoring of vaccine rollout. There are also risks related to governance of vaccine purchase and deployment, such as potential fraudulent attempts to gain access to vaccines without following the prioritization criteria for vaccination. This includes the risk of elite capture and corruption in the implementation of the vaccination program. This will be further mitigated through the application of anti-corruption guidelines for vaccine purchase and deployment and robust financial management oversight of the use of funds, as elaborated in the fiduciary section.\n\n96. **Macroeconomic risk for Iraq is rated high.** Overall macroeconomic risk is high given the spread of the pandemic, high oil dependence as well as budget rigidities linked to public wage bill and pension. These have led to severe external and fiscal pressures that limits the availability of the government to secure financing. As such it faces the risk of not having sufficient additional fiscal space for the purchase of vaccines at scale and other COVID-19 related response interventions. Lower oil receipts could severely impact service delivery and wage bill payments and have knock-on effects on social and political stability. Fiscal policy could remain expansionary and not address rigidities in recurrent expenditures due to parliamentary election dynamics (scheduled in October 2021). The continuation of reforms will also depend on the policy stance of the elected government. On the upside, a faster pickup in non-oil activity together with implementation of fiscal reforms could improve Iraq’s fiscal outlook. This risk is mitigated through the prioritization of vaccine acquisition and deployment activities by the GOI, as national priority. Donor-funded resources will complement nationally budged funds that have been allocated for COVID-19 vaccination activities.\n\n97. **Institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability risks are high** . The project is designed to address key institutional capacity risks related to vaccine deployment and distribution, but residual risks remain high. The key institutional risk remains the MOHE’s capacity to carry out the activities and is heightened by the complexity of vaccine acquisition and deployment. Vaccine deployment cold-chain and distribution capacity have increased rapidly but required additional support to meet the anticipated scale and population group coverage for COVID-19 vaccination. This risk will be mitigated through the project’s financial and technical support for immunization system strengthening needs, including coordination with partners, such as WHO and UNICEF, in their provision of systems strengthening support. The continuous monitoring by the TPMA will provide regular reports focusing on areas of improvement and course corrections, where applicable.\n\n98. **Sector strategies and policies risks are rated substantial.** Iraq is in the process of introducing social health insurance. The reform implementation should not undermine the ability of the government health system to provide the needed services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Improving access to and quality of health services, including by strengthening primary care, remain key priorities for the health system. Further, the health sector’s activities for COVID19 response require further strengthening (e.g., case detection and reporting, social distancing measures, health system strengthening, communications, multi-sector policy for prevention and preparedness, infrastructure, etc.). The GOI has prioritized COVID-19 vaccination efforts as the best pathway for recovery from the pandemic. This commitment will enable supplementary or emergency measures to support COVID-19 vaccination related activities by all national entities, including financing, negotiations with vaccine suppliers, deployment efforts and leveraging multi-lateral institutions Page 36 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) towards supporting the nationally consolidated plan for vaccination. The NDVP provides the roadmap for the GOI’s vaccination efforts.\n\n99. **Fiduciary risks are high** . The procurement and FM risks associated with the procurement and distribution of vaccines include fraud and corruption risks.\n\n100. The residual FM risk for the project is substantial. The key FM risks associated with the project include: (i) limited capacity at the implementing agencies to meet the project’s FM requirements; (ii) potential misuse of vaccine doses and inefficiencies in supply chain management and administration including acquisition, storage and distribution due to low capacity and limited accountability; (iii) security conditions and COVID-19 pandemic do not allow visits by the Bank staff to perform physical verification; and (iv) potential delays in developing the POM including the FM chapter that will show in detail the deployment and distribution plan processes, and procedures, thus delaying the vaccination process. These risk will be mitigated by: (i) establishing a centralized FM function within the PMU’s authority with FM team consisting of a qualified financial officer, accountant(s), and internal controller(s) seconded from the MOHE own staff who would receive periodic trainings inside and outside the authority to improve and enforce their knowledge; (ii) PMU hiring a parttime FM consultant; (iii) engaging with UN agencies for support in the vaccine supply chain management; and (iv) hiring the TPMA to ensure that the vaccines have been provided to the targeted beneficiaries as per the approved phased selection criteria. The TPMA will ensure transparency in the distribution of vaccines and distribution and consistency with the vaccine deployment plan.\n\n101. Given the significant disruption in the supply chain of health supplies, the overall procurement risk for the project is assessed as high. The key procurement risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines relate to: (i) the complexity of the vaccines market given the significant market power enjoyed by vaccine manufactures and weak bargaining power by low and middle income countries; (ii) limited market access due to advance orders by developed countries; (iii) inability of the market to supply adequate quantities of vaccines to meet the demand; (iv) delays by countries in triggering emergency procurement procedures which could delay procurement and contract implementation including payments, the risk associated with vaccines is failed procurement; (v) limited capacity and lack of knowledge of World Bank Procurement Regulations by the implementing agency, especially under emergency conditions; (vi) lack of proper coordination of and interaction with various stakeholders, which may cause procurement and project implementation delays; (vii) inadequate capacity in supervision of vaccine acquisition contracts and mobile cold chain equipment and supplies; and (ix) lack of responsiveness and anticipation and limited experience in supervising the execution of similar contracts. There are also risks related to governance of vaccine purchase and deployment, such as potential fraud and substandard quality. These risks will be mitigated by: (i) providing options to fast-track procurement through direct or advance purchase; (ii) Bank’s prior review of the vaccine contracts to advise on their acceptance; and (iii) information technology systems and smart systems for the traceability of vaccines. Other mitigation measures include: (i) direct contracting of UN agencies by the MOHE to supply major medical equipment and supplies due to the emergency nature of the project and the supply chain constraints as a result of the global pandemic; (ii) further flexibilities, such as Direct Selection, limited bidding where justified, and increased threshold for request for quotations (RFQs), to reduce procurement processing times; and (iii) increased implementation support and provision of HEIS when requested by the Borrower.\n\n102. **Environment and social risks are substantial.** The environmental risk associated with this project is substantial due to the direct impacts related to OHS for health workers in health facilities. In addition, the quantity of health care waste is likely to increase due to the project activities and may affect the capacity of local authorities to manage this waste, resulting in indirect and long-term environmental and public health impacts.\n\nPage 37 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) 103. The social risk associated with activities under the project is substantial due to the potential unequal access to vaccines, perception of unfair distribution and exclusion of certain vulnerable groups including the disabled, the elderly, and IDPs, potential rising social tensions, and gender inequities. Gender inequities and norms can play an important role for access to critical health services such as vaccinations. Moreover, inappropriate data protection measures and insufficient/ineffective stakeholder communication on the vaccine rollout strategy; risks associated with adverse events following immunization, the risk of elite capture and/or corruption as the Covid-19 vaccine will be in short supply relative to the demand. Section V.E provides more details of the environment and social risks and mitigation measures. The E&S risks will be mitigated through adhering to the relevant mitigation measures under the ESCP, SEP, ESMF and LMP.\n\n104. **Stakeholder risk is rated as substantial** . The project implementation success depends on strong coordination with different stakeholders. Denial of and misinformation associated with COVID-19 vaccination, in addition to mistrust of some government actions, have been documented in the media, social media, and political spheres. This may contribute to individuals rejecting public health interventions and contribute to sustained misinformation in some areas of the country, resulting in difficulties in drawing vaccine beneficiaries to the vaccination centers and vaccine skepticism among the population. To mitigate this risk, the project will support the GOI’s efforts in advocacy and coalition building to sensitize key groups including policy makers, media, religious leaders, and community interest groups. This will be complemented by carefully designed mass communication campaigns to build support for response and mitigation measures among the wider population. During project implementation, the MOHE will also coordinate with partners on different technical assistance activities, including communication efforts.\n\n**105.** **Other.** There are several substantial residual risks associated with data management and privacy. These include\nrisk of inadequate management and storage or inappropriate sharing of personal data from the vaccination digital platform and other databases. Mitigation measures may include legal, institutional, and technical measures, as well as investments in data security and training of staff. To guard against abuse of such data, the project will incorporate best international practices for dealing with such data in such circumstances. Such measures may include, by way of example, data minimization (collecting only data that is necessary for the purpose); data accuracy (correct or erase data that are not necessary or are inaccurate), use limitations (data are only used for legitimate and related purposes), data retention (retain data only for as long as they are necessary), informing data subjects of use and processing of data, and allowing data subjects the opportunity to correct information about them, etc.\n.\n\nPage 38 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [],

Critical interventions are needed to reduce morbidity\nand mortality rates from COVID-19 in Iraq. The implementation of Iraq’s National Deployment and Vaccination Plan (NDVP) will strengthen the capacity of the Government of Iraq (GOI), and more specifically, the Ministry of Health Environment (MOHE) to ensure access to affordable COVID-19 vaccines for the population.\n\n2. **Staffing and financial management (FM) implementation arrangements** . The project will be implemented by a Project Management Unit (PMU) established at the MOHE to oversee the project implementation with full day-to-day responsibilities while ensuring that all activities are fully coordinated.\nQualified financial officer, accountant(s), and internal controller(s) will be provided from the MOHE own staff and will be dedicated to the project. The World Bank undertook an assessment of the financial management system within the MOHE, during the preparation of the ongoing Iraq Emergency Operation Development Project (P155732). The FM assessment was updated for the purpose of the project in accordance with the World Bank Policy on the Investment Project Financing (IPF) and in line with paragraph 12 of section III of the IPF policy, as the project is in situation of urgent need of assistance or capacity constraints. The assessment was updated remotely considering the nationwide movement restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FM assessment of MOHE concludes that with the implementation of agreed actions, the proposed FM arrangements will satisfy the Bank policy requirements.\n\n3. Although the MOHE has been implementing the ongoing EODP for almost 4 years, the FM performance rating is Moderately Unsatisfactory. The PMU will be responsible for planning and coordinating specific activities, including FM (payment authorization, disbursement, accounting, and reporting), procurement of goods, consulting services (and related contract management), and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Due to the limited experience of the MOHE FM team with the World Bank FM policies and guidelines, the World Bank will provide close support to the FM project staff in addition to the MOHE hiring an FM consultant.\n\n4. **Project FM risk** . Based on the results of the assessment, the overall FM risk is High. With mitigation measures in place, the project will have acceptable project FM arrangements and the residual FM risk will be Substantial. The pre-mitigation FM risk is assessed as High mainly due to: i) Limited capacity at the implementing agencies to meet the project’s financial management requirements; ii) Potential misuse of vaccine doses and inefficiencies in supply chain management and administration including acquisition, storage and distribution due to low capacity and limited accountability; iii) Security conditions and COVID-19 pandemic do not allow visits by the Bank to perform physical verification; iv) Potential delays in developing the POM, including the FM chapter that will show in detail the deployment and distribution plan processes, and procedures, thus delaying the vaccination process.\nv) Overall weaknesses and shortcomings in the control environment; vi) Limited accounting and reporting systems in providing timely and comprehensive information; and vii) Delays in making payments due to the shortfalls in the Iraqi banking sector; The following agreed measures will mitigate FM-related risks to Substantial: Page 48 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) i) Establishing a centralized FM function within the PMU’s authority with FM team consisting of a qualified Financial Officer, Accountant(s), and internal controller(s) seconded from the MOHE own staff who would receive periodic trainings inside and outside the authority to improve and enforce their knowledge; ii) Hiring a part-time FM consultant; iii) Engaging with United Nations agencies for support in the vaccine supply chain management; iv) Engaging with Third Party Monitoring Agent (TPMA) to ensure that the vaccines have been provided to the targeted beneficiaries as per the approved phased selection criteria; v) Accounting and reporting arrangements to give timely information on the project financial performance and status; off the shelf accounting software will be used to record project financial transactions and generate simplified Interim Unaudited Financial Reports (IFRs); vi) Opening A Designated Account (DA) in US dollars with sufficient advance, to ensure that funds are readily available for project implementation; vii) Hiring an independent external auditor acceptable to the Bank to provide an independent opinion of the project financial statements.\nviii) An FM manual for this project documenting the procedures, inter alia, on internal controls, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing, responsibilities and duties, flow of information, and others.\n\n**TYPE OF RISKS** **CURRENT RISK RATING**\n\n**INHERENT RISKS (IR)**\n\nCountry Level High Entity Level High Project Level Substantial\n\n**Overall IR** **High**\n\n**CONTROL RISKS (CR)**\n\nBudgeting Substantial Accounting Substantial Internal Controls High Funds Flow Substantial Financial Reporting Substantial Auditing Substantial\n\n**Overall CR** **Substantial**\n\n**COMPLIANCE RISKS (COR)**\n\n**Overall CoR** **Substantial**\n\n**Overall FM Risk** **Substantial**\n\nPage 49 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) 5. **Budgeting and flow of funds** . The PMU will maintain a detailed disbursement plan per quarter.

It will be used as a monitoring tool to analyze budget variances and manage cash and will feed into the quarterly IFRs.\n\n6. To ensure that funds are readily available for project implementation, a Designated Account (DA) will be opened. The PMU will be responsible of managing its DA, preparing the reconciliations, and submitting monthly replenishment applications with appropriate supporting documentation.\n\n7.

Since the PMU will have a centralized FM structure, the project will follow its own financial management procedures as demonstrated in the FM manual. The project will follow the cash basis of accounting and key accounting policies and procedures will be documented in the financial procedure manual which will be finalized no later than 30 days after loan effectiveness. MOHE uses very basic accounting software to capture its daily financial transactions. This software, which is developed by the MOHE, is not capable of generating the project’s quarterly Interim Unaudited Financial Reports (IFRs) in accordance with the World Bank FM guidance and record commitments. Adequate accounting and reporting arrangements will be used to give timely information on the project’s financial performance and status. Off the shelf accounting software will be used to record project financial transactions whereas the excel sheet will be used to generate the quarterly IFRs.\n\nPage 50 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) 9. **The PMU will be responsible for preparing the following:** i) **Quarterly IFRs** and submitting them to the Bank and through the Bank’s digital platform (client Connection) within 45 days from the quarter then ended.

The PMU will follow the FM instructions in the FM manual which will be finalized no later than 30 days after effectiveness. The manual will document the project’s implementation of internal control functions and process and describe the responsibilities of the PMU staff, which are summarized in terms of authorization and execution processes. The expenditure cycle will specify the following steps: (a) technical approval for deliverable vaccines, (b) approval by relevant PMU manager, (c) issuance of payments will be made upon receipt of supportive documentation and written requests by authorized officials, and (d) verification by the financial officer of the accuracy and compliance of the payment requests with the Loan Agreement. On a monthly basis, the Financial Officer will reconcile the project account bank statement with the account book balance. Reconciliations will be prepared by the Financial Officer and checked by an independent person. All reconciling items (if any) will be listed, explained, and followed up on. Copies of the reconciliation together with the account bank statement will be kept in the project files and attached to the IFRs.\n\n11. The bulk of the project’s expenditures will finance vaccines with some consultancy service contracts and incremental operating costs. Goods contracts will be financed mainly through Letter of Credit (LC) and direct payments. TPMA, financed by the I3RF, will be engaged to ensure that vaccines are deployed as it is agreed in the plan.\n\n12. **Safeguard the purchased vaccines.** The vaccines will be purchased from outside Iraq and will be supplied to special MOHE warehouses located near distribution points. Supply contracts are financed through either LCs or direct payments or special UN payments. All goods shipped are insured. All advances to suppliers (non-UN agencies) are provided against bank guarantees.\n\n13. As agreed with the implementing agency, the following measures are implemented to safeguard project’s purchased vaccines/goods/equipment: Page 51 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038) i) The PMU uses a register “spreadsheet” to record the details of purchased vaccines under the project, including among others, description, reference to contract, quantity, location, and the Governorate in which the vaccines were deployed; ii) The PMU will prepare a detailed distribution plan, which will include among others the description of all vaccines and beneficiary governorate; iii) All items will be traceable; iv) Special conditioned warehouse register will be used for the received vaccines; v) Special committees will be established to receive the purchased vaccines.

The PMU will be responsible for preparing the TORs for the auditor and will submit them to the World Bank for clearance. The audit scope will cover the activities of the project implemented by the PMU. The audit report will be sent to the Bank no later than 6 months following the end of the project’s fiscal year. The report will include an opinion on the project’s financial statement. The auditor will also be requested to provide an opinion on the project’s effectiveness of internal control system including the vaccines safeguard measures used. Finally, a management letter will accompany the audit report, identifying any deficiencies in the control system the auditor finds pertinent, including recommendations for their improvement.\nIn accordance with the World Bank’s Policy on Access to Information, the World Bank requires that the borrower discloses the audited financial statements in a manner acceptable to the World Bank.\n\n15. **Implementation support** . The project will require close implementation support during the start-up phase to ensure that the PMU’s fiduciary requirements are completed in a timely manner, minimizing project fiduciary risk. During the implementation phase, implementation support will be conducted on semester basis to ensure compliance with Bank’s requirements and to develop internally generated project risk assessment.\n\nPage 52 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nIraq COVID-19 Vaccination Project (P177038)\n\n**ANNEX 3: Implementation Arrangements and Support Plan**\n\n1. The World Bank’s implementation support for the MOHE will include providing advice and undertaking\nanalytics to strengthen the technical quality of implementation and assure timely implementation of the project.\nThe extent of implementation support that will be provided depends on recognized needs and opportunities.\n\n2. In terms of strengthening compliance, technical assistance may be needed as described in the relevant sections of the Project Appraisal Summary. With fiduciary risk rated high, technical assistance to procurement and FM will be prioritized, also with the UN agencies supporting procurement process. The project will use the existing PMU, appropriately staffed, with relevant qualifications. The project would support additional training in the use of the STEP and the World Bank Procurement Framework. Implementation support for FM will be undertaken mainly during, and in response to the findings of, the semiannual FM supervision reviews. For environmental and social aspects, the World Bank will monitor compliance through the reports submitted by the PMU and take remedial and supportive action as needed.\n\n3. Within the technical domain, the focus for the World Bank’s implementation support will be related to the timely coordination of the pandemic response and COVID-19 vaccination. This will include technical assistance to: (i) COVID-19 vaccination and testing messages prepared; (ii) coordination mechanisms in place; and (iii) curriculum and training approaches; and (iv) use of the relevant IT systems.\n\n4. Development partners are expected to provide technical assistance and procurement operational support to strengthen the implementation of select project activities, in line with their respective mandates. The WHO, with its in-country expertise and overall coordination role for COVID-19 response activities, will continue to be an important technical partner. UNICEF will have both a technical and an operational role with respect to the procurement. The World Bank will coordinate its implementation support with these partners to get the most value-for-money, avoid duplication, and exploit synergies.\n\n5. While implementation support will be provided throughout project implementation, it is anticipated that more intense support will be needed in the first 12 months after project approval.

Country Context**\n\n1. **Sudan is a lower-middle-income country with a fast-growing population, close to half of which is living in**\n**poverty.** Despite economic sanctions and secession of the oil-rich Southern states, Sudan’s gross domestic product\n(GDP) grew at an annual average rate of 2 percent between 2008 and 2017. In nominal terms, GDP per capita increased four-fold from Sudanese Pounds (SDG) 3,617 to SDG 14,485. However, in constant 2016 prices, there was a 5 percent decrease in per capita GDP owing to a slower growth relative to population increase and high inflation.\nThe total population is estimated to have reached 40 million in 2017 and growing at an annual average of 2.5 percent in the last 10 years (World Bank, 2016). The school-aged population (4-to-16-year-olds) accounts for one third of the population and continues to grow, contributing to the rising demand for basic services such as education and healthcare. The country has made considerable progress in human development: child mortality reduced from 105 per 1,000 (2000) to 65 per 1,000 (2016); and maternal mortality dropped from 544 per 1,000 (2000) to 311 per 1,000 (2015) (World Bank WDI). The youth literacy rate, defined as the proportion of youth between the age of 15 and 24 that can read and write a simple sentence in any language, increased from 78 percent in 2000 to 86 percent in 2014 (World Bank WDI).\n\n2. **Sudan is currently at a very important crossroads in the country’s history.** A popular uprising brought to power a civilian government with the attention to carry out necessary reforms to stabilize the economy, reallocate resources away from commodity subsidies and toward social spending, liberalize the exchange rate, and reintegrate Sudan into the world economy. In the short run, however, large arrears on foreign debt and its inclusion on the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SSTL) restrict the country’s access to needed finance from international financial institutions and markets.\n\n3. **The new transitional Government is facing one of the most challenging environments in the world** . The country faces a macroeconomic crisis: rampant inflation, massive currency devaluation, rapidly increasing arrears on international debt, and ostracism from the dollar-based international financial system. Modest economic growth persists, and the country is marked by deep poverty and inequality. Social indicators remain low and vary markedly across states, gender and poverty level. Social indicators are aggravated by the country’s service delivery function, which is still compromised by low levels of public expenditure, shortage of relevant personnel and dilapidated infrastructure.\n\n4. **As for other African countries, the direct impact of COVID-19 on Sudan will depend greatly on if current**\n**measures prove adequate to contain the spread of the virus in the country** . Sudan has little capacity at present to\nmanage a major COVID-19 epidemic, which would add to an already exceedingly difficult economic and political situation. Tourism, air transport, and the oil sector are visibly impacted. However, invisible impacts of COVID-19 are expected in 2020 regardless of the duration of the pandemic.\n\n5. **The economic impact of COVID-19 includes the increased price of basic foods, rising unemployment, and**\n**falling exports.** Restrictions on movement are making the economic situation worse, with commodity prices soaring\nacross the country. According to the IMF projections, consumer prices are expected to increase by 81.3 percent in Page 6 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 2020. The IMF has already forecasted an overall economic stagnation in 2020 in Sudan. GDP is expected to decrease between 4-10 percent in 2020 due to the combined impact of the economic crisis exacerbated by the social distancing measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. Slowing growth and COVID-19 policy responses will have a significant negative impact on government revenue. Slowing activity will automatically translate into lower levels of tax and other government revenue collection. The combined effect on government revenues is projected to be significant.\n\n6. **Poverty reduction stagnated in 2018 mainly due to weak economic growth, political and macroeconomic**\n**instability and the shortage of essential food items such as bread.** According to the most recent official estimates\nof poverty based on the 2014/15 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS), 36.1 percent of Sudanese population (or 13.4 million people) are poor. However, the overall/national poverty rate masks wide disparities across Sudan’s 18 states. For example, Central Darfur State in western Sudan recorded the highest rate of poverty (67.2 percent). Generally, the states of South Kordofan, West and Central Darfur, in which two in three people are poor, are the states with the highest poverty rate followed by Red Sea, East and South Darfur. However, when poverty was measured against the World Bank’s international poverty line for lower middle-income countries (US$3.2 per capita per day), 46.1 percent was deemed poor. The poor are particularly affected by rising inflation given their high food share in consumption, and limited means to preserve the erosion of the value of their savings.\n\n**B. Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n7. **Education provision in Sudan is a shared responsibility among various administrative layers**, **managed at**\n**the Federal, State and locality levels.** The Federal level has the policy mandate for strategic planning, coordination,\nand definition of standards. The 18 states are responsible for secondary education provision, human resource management, coordination of work of the Directorate of Education at the locality level, and basic education certification. Localities are the frontline service providers, responsible for basic education day-to-day management.\nThe new Education Sector Strategic Plan 2018-2022 was endorsed by the Government in December 2018 and defines the overall direction of the sector in the medium term.\n\n8. **According to the current structure, basic education comprises two years of preschool, five years of lower**\n**primary, and three years of upper primary education (2:5:3 structure)** . In 2015, Sudan began reform of the basic\neducation curriculum and is currently moving to a new education structure comprising nine-year education cycle (2:6:3 structure). The first cohort of students is expected to reach Grade 9 of basic education in 2023. The increase in the number of years of free education requires a reassessment of the system’s ability to provide complete basic education to all children in Sudan, including internally displaced persons (IDPs).\n\n9. **Sudan has seen significant improvements in basic education over the last decade.** Between 2008/09 and 2017/18, the total number of schools (public and private) increased by 2,800, allowing one million more children to access education. The number of students completing primary education and proceeding to secondary school increased from 251 to 336 thousand during the same time. Provision of preschool education, an important step to build school readiness, is relatively high with Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) reaching 43 percent in 2017, ten percentage points above average for Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 26 percent of basic schools have preschool facilities. In 2018, 65 percent of learners enrolled in Grade 1 reported having some preschool education, an improvement of about 16 percentage points from 49 percent recorded in mid-2000 (ESA, 2018).\n\nPage 7 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["National Household Budget and Poverty Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 10. **Despite recent progress in student enrollments, the education sector suffers from multiple challenges:** (i) low and unequal levels of access and completion; (ii) low and stagnant student learning outcomes; (iii) poor education system management; (iv) inadequate learning environments; and (v) low level of public spending on education and significant contributions from households. In Sudan, the school system is also currently severely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, with all education institutes closed since March 14, 2020. An estimated 6.2 million students are out of school due to the lockdown (Annual School Census, 2018). If this situation is permitted to continue unabated, it could have profound, long-term negative impacts on the country's development.\n\n_Low and unequal levels of access and completion_ 11. **Sudan has not managed to cope with the increased demand for education imposed by the high population**\n**growth hence the overall level of access to basic education in Sudan has been stagnant over the past decade.** GER\nhas been stagnant and low compared to other comparator countries: 72 percent (2008/09) and 73 percent (2016/17). According to the data from 2014/15 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), Net Enrollment Rate (NER) is 69 percent with NER for boys 2 percentage points higher compared to girls (70 and 68 percent, respectively).\nWhile girls’ and boys’ Grade 1 enrollment rates in urban areas are similar, male Grade 1 enrollment rates in rural areas are six percentage points higher than those for girls. Grade 8 enrollment rates are in favor of boys, and the gap is especially evident in rural areas.\n\n**Figure 1: Primary education enrollment rates**\nAccess to basic education in Sudan at the beginning and end of Primary education GER in 2016 or the the cycle in Sudan by gender, location, and wealth quintile latest available, selected countries (2014) 98 96 Boys Girls 92 86 81 82 77 100 94 34 55 46 Grade 1 Grade 8 Grade 1 Grade 8 Urban Rural Grade 1 Grade 8 Bottom 20% Top 20% _Source:_ Authors’ estimates based on MICS2014/15. _Source:_ Authors on UNESCO UIS data.\n\n**12.** **Socioeconomic disparities in basic education are large.** While Grade 1 enrollment rates for the wealthiest\nfifth of households were universal, only 81 percent of children in the poorest fifth of households were enrolled.

This socioeconomic gap in primary access widens by the end of the education cycle. Only 34 percent of children from the poorest quintile reach the last grade of primary education compared to 94 percent of children from the wealthiest quintile.

Low access to secondary education for the bottom income quintiles of population in Sudan urge targeted support to the most vulnerable and poor families.\n\n14. **Low retention and high dropout rates have undermined Sudan’s effort to implement universal fee-free**\n**basic education** . An analysis of enrollment in 2017 [1] illustrates the large volume of pupils entering Grade 1 gradually\nshrinks while moving to upper grades due to drop out. In general, boys are more likely to drop out than girls. For example, 48 percent of boys enrolled in Grade 1 are likely to reach Grade 8 compared to 53 percent of girls.\nAnecdotal evidence suggests that high drop out of male pupils is associated with the high opportunity cost of attending school, which includes the cost of not working in the household, while female pupils drop out due to early marriage.\n\n15. **The number of out-of-school-children (OOSC) is striking: approximately three million school-age children**\n**are not in the education system.** While 52 percent of those children had never attended school, 48 percent quit.\nThe majority of OOSC (77 percent) are 6- to 13-year-olds, i.e. basic school-age. The system still has late entry until 11 years, with children who do not attend school before turning 12 are likely not to attend ever. According to the results of the National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS) conducted in 2014/15, the main reasons for not attending school for children between the age of 6 and 15 are high costs (mentioned by 20 percent of respondents), distance to schools (14 percent), and the need for the child to support the family (6 percent) (World Bank, 2018).

According to the National Learning Assessment (NLA) conducted in 2015 for Grade 3 pupils, the results were low in all domains of the assessment: reading, writing, and numeracy. For example, only 5 percent of pupils could read fluently (more than 60 words per minute) in Arabic, and 40 percent were not able to read at all. Furthermore, the assessment of reading speed among third graders indicated an average speed of 15 words per minute, which is far below the estimated minimum reading speed of 40 words per minute thought to be necessary to gain understanding of and meaning from the text. However, Sudan’s third graders did better in listening and comprehension compared to pupils from other Arabic Countries.\n\n17. **There is sign of slight improvements in learning outcomes at the national level** . The country has recently completed its second round of NLA, and preliminary data indicates some gains in reading scores, with the reduction of non-readers from 40 percent in 2014 to 38 percent in 2017 [2] . Reading comprehension has improved from 36 percent in 2014 to 52 percent in 2017. The share of students able to perform single digit subtraction and addition increased significantly from 40 and 46 percent in 2014 to 43 percent and 52 percent in 2017, respectively. The preliminary results show that schools, where gains were made in raising reading levels in Grade 3 between the first and second NLA’s, also did better overall on Grade 6 tests. The analysis serves as an important source of data for policy dialogue. The data provides for details, which facilitate the understanding of the learning among states and within states.\n\n2 The difference in scores is statistically significant at 0.01 confidence level.\n\nPage 10 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["National Learning Assessment"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812)\n\n**Figure 3: Grade 3 reading performance by state (2014/15 and 2017/18 NLAs)**\n_Share of pupil unable to read a single word (non-readers)_ 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2014/15 2017/18 Improved (% of non-readers declined) Stagnant Declined _Inadequate learning environments_ 18. **The poor learning environment in many primary schools affects teacher motivation as well as student**\n**outcomes** . Many schools do not meet norms for teaching and learning materials. While there have been\nimprovements in student textbook ratios recently, mostly due to the efforts made within the recently completed Basic Education Recovery Project (P128644), under which all pupils in Grade 1-4 received a set of textbooks, shortages in specific subjects remain. On average four learners share a science book, while in Math and Arabic language classes, two and three learners, respectively, share one textbook.\n\n_19._ **Some areas of school infrastructure are currently inadequate and continued basic education expansion**\n**will add further pressure** . Existing primary schools have shortfalls in classrooms and other facilities. For example,\n16 percent of public schools including 21 percent in rural areas and 9 percent in urban, have a least one grade without a classroom. Pupils in such classes study outside ‘under a tree’ and are often dismissed during rainy seasons and hot summer months, which contribute to further worsening learning outcomes. The availability of water and sanitation facilities also tend to vary widely across schools and the number of latrines is generally inadequate. This is an important driver of dropout for girls in upper primary school, as girls are entering puberty, particularly given the high number of over-aged children due to repetition (Sperling et al., 2016). Expanding access to amenities in underserved areas will also require more classrooms in basic schools. Since the distance between schools and households is an important factor in explaining school drop-out, it will be important to locate new schools optimally to reduce travel times (World Bank, 2018).\n\nPage 11 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) _20._ **Incomplete primary schools affect the system’s ability to retain children until completion.** A review of the supply of basic education indicates that 6,793 out of the 16,643 schools are incomplete schools that miss at least one grade. When children transition from one school to another, the risk of non-completion increases, because they find it harder to settle in a new environment, and then learning tends to regress.\n\n_Low level of public spending on education and significant contributions from households_ 21. **Low public funding for education is affecting quality services and impeding access.** The education budget as a proportion of the overall budget remained stable at 11 percent between 2009-2017, which is low compared to the GPE recommended 20 percent (GPE, 2016). In the same period, the sector budget increased 2.6 times in nominal terms, from SDG 2.7 trillion to SDG 6.9 trillion. In turn, recurrent spending in education, which represent 90 percent of the budget, more than doubled in current prices from SDG 2.4 trillion in 2009 to SDG 5.4 trillion in 2017. However, in real terms, at 2016 prices, recurrent education expenditure dropped by half. As a share of GDP, spending in education was halved from 2.4 percent in 2009 to 1.2 percent in 2017, which is the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa.\n\n22. **Families contribute greatly to education costs including goods and services, capital costs, salaries to**\n**volunteer teachers, and food provision to teachers and pupils.** In basic education for instance, on top of the SDG\n2.6 trillion covered by public finances, parents added a total of SDG 496 million in the 2016/17 translating to about 16 percent of the known spending. The current economic situation is likely to affect the ability of families to pay going forward, so there is a need to mobilize more public funding. With the growing inflation affecting the purchasing power of households in Sudan, most of them may lose the ability to pay for goods and services.\n\n23. **External financing of the education sector is limited and unpredictable.** Sudan remains a highly-indebted country with sizeable external arrears and has been in non-accrual status with the World Bank Group (WBG) since 1994. At the end of 2015, its external debt amounted to US$50 billion (61 percent of GDP) in nominal terms, about 84 percent of which was in arrears. Given Sudan’s current lack of access to IDA funding, the World Bank supported program is resourced mainly through trust funds, partnerships including GPE, and the World Bank’s operational budget.\n\n_Impact of COVID-19 on the education sector_ 24. **On March 17, 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers announced the closure of schools, universities and cancelled**\n**all public gatherings due to COVID-19 global pandemic** . The COVID-19 pandemic threatens education progress\nworldwide through two major shocks: (1) the near-universal closing of schools, and (2) the economic recession sparked by the pandemic-control measures. Without major effort to counter their effects, the school closings shock will lead to learning loss, increased dropouts, and higher inequality; the economic shock will exacerbate the damage, by depressing education demand and supply as it harms households; and together, they will exact long-run costs on human capital and welfare.\n\n25. **It is likely that the poorest will be affected the most by economic shocks and school shutdown** . During the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone household income fell from US$336 to US$131 and there was an increase in girls getting pregnant (World Bank, 2020). To protect the poorest and most vulnerable and enable them to continue learning, special interventions will be needed.\n\nPage 12 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812)\n\n**C.

Project Components**\n\n30. The project design is guided by the following principles: (a) rapid response to support schools in light of the deteriorating economic conditions; (b) lessons learned from past education projects, in particular Basic Education Recovery Project (BERP) (P128644); (c) government ownership and priorities aligned to the 2018-2022 Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP); and (d) complementarity with other donor funded projects to fill strategic gaps.\n\n31. Attainment of the proposed PDO will be based on the Government’s achievement of results in the first component: (a) school grants program, which will include providing support to schools to improve learning environment and practices. The project will operate at system and school levels, targeting all public schools.\n\n**Component 1: School Grants Program (US$11.275 million).**\n\n32. This component will support provision of school grants to improve learnining environments and school planning. School grants will aim to: _(i) Incentivize parents’ engagement to reduce the risk of students (especially girls) dropping out_ . While basic education is officially free in Sudan, currently, families contribute greatly to education expenditures at the school level. As the economic situation has deteriorated, many vulnerable families may lose the ability to pay for basic services and pull the children out of school (especially girls). Furthermore, families may face challenges to provide the pupils with basic requirements for schooling, such as uniform, school bags, exercise books, etc. School Grants can play an important role in mitigating the expected economic shock on the most vulnerable and help reduce the education cost burdens during the hard time. It can also help provide girls in the upper primary grades with necessary packages such as sanitary napkins to encourage their retention.\n\n_(ii) Support teachers to reduce absenteeism_ . Due to high inflation rates, teacher remuneration has been deteriorating in real terms, posing the risk of teachers leaving schools temporarily or permanently for alternative livelihood pathways. The School Grants may be used to support teachers (in cash or in-kind).\n\n_(iii) Support the learning environment_ . School Grants are expected to be an important source of funding for the targeted schools to support the acquisition of basic learning materials, stationery, notebooks, classrooms furniture and equipment which contribute to improving the learning environment to attract and retain pupils and teachers, especially females in school. A list of eligible items will be developed and provided to the schools.\n\n_(iv) Improve efficiency by strengthening capacity for participatory planning, budgeting and monitoring at the school_ _level_ . School grants can help disadvantaged schools create a participatory management structure at the school level.\nA school profile report that provides information on the school will be provided to each school to support the participatory evidence-based planning process.\n\n_(v) Improve equity in education by helping children in disadvantaged situation including IDPs, refugees, girls_ .\nAccording to the latest Annual School Census, public schools enroll 30 thousand refugee students (in 1,681 schools) and 280 thousand IDPs (in 1,852 schools). While IDP children are concentrated in three Darfur states (68 percent of Page 14 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Annual School Census"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) all IDPs), namely, Central, North, and South Darfur, refugee students are distributed among half of Sudan’s states: South Kordofan (17 percent), White Nile (13 percent), West Kordofan (10 percent), East Darfur (10 percent), South Darfur (9 percent), Gadarif (8 percent), North Darfur (8 percent), and Khartoum state (7 percent). Moreover, girls’ retention rates (grade 6 survival rates) vary from type of schools: from 53.0 percent in co-ed schools to 85.9 percent in schools for girls. Surprisingly, girls’ survival rates are higher in schools with refugees or IDPs students compared to schools without them (78.3 vs 70.0 percent).\n\n33. **Overall, 88 percent of public schools in Sudan (14,429 schools) meet one of the disadvantage criteria** : (i) low girls’ retention; (ii) enrollment of IDPs or refugee students; (iii) poor learning environment (absence of water supply, latrines, fences); and (iv) lack of teachers (high pupil-teacher ratios).\n\n34. **Around 16,500 schools from all 18 States will benefit from school grants and training** in evidence planning to improving learning conditions and ultimately promote access, retention and learning. School Improvement Plans will be developed through a participatory process involving Parents and Teachers’ Associations (PTAs) as well as the community surrounding the schools. The plans will be informed by key information on the schools and the locality where they are situated.\n\n35. **Allocation of school grants per school will be based on a formula**, which will include a per capita base and measures to cater for price differences among the states. An estimated US$2 per child will be allocated equally to all schools. The maximum amount per school will be US$1,000 to keep the grants manageable and at a level that the Government can afford to carry on at the end of the program, avoid having schools managing very high budgets, which may not be sustainable in the future. At least 5.4 million pupils will benefit from the School Grants Program.\n\n36. **Localities will be responsible for allocating the grants to schools** ; train the PTAs and school heads on participatory planning and appropriate use of school grants; and supervision of implementation of the grants. The States with support from the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) will be responsible for capacity building at the community level (empowerment, inclusion, gender sensitivity, school safety) – train the localities and prepare them to perform their role in overseeing implementation of the school grants. The PCU will assess capacity of localities and schools in in participatory planning and monitoring of school results.\n\n37. **Key activities will include** :\n\n- Assessing capacity of localities and schools in in participatory planning and monitoring of school results;\n\n- Training of school heads and PTAs in participatory planning and monitoring of school results, including\nlearning;\n\n- Training of locality supervisors to provide support to schools as needed; and\n\n- Providing grants to schools to improve learning environments.\n\n38. **Selection of intervention schools** : The project will target all public primary schools in Sudan.

Rationale for Bank Involvement and Role of Partners**\n\n42. **The World Bank has been engaged in the education sector in Sudan for more than two decades** . Among Development Partners engaged in the sector, the World Bank has provided strategic leadership in policy dialogue with a focus on education quality, access, and good governance. The World Bank has gained valuable experience through the implementation of projects in the education and numerous other sectors in Sudan. This has provided many lessons about specific characteristics of the country’s implementation environment, particularly understanding of the ability to respond to GoS’s implementation strengths and weaknesses.\n\n43. **The World Bank’s convening authority is well recognized and will be of particular value given the need for**\n**broad-based consensus and alignment among stakeholders for ensuring a successful GPE process** . The World Bank\nwill bring added value through its high level of technical expertise derived from its knowledge gained from operations to support primary education around the globe. It brings the advantage of strong in-country capacity for continual implementation support, particularly to ensure sound fiduciary functioning and management. The World Bank has carried out extensive analytical work on Sudan’s education sector, the findings of which have been fully integrated into the proposed project’s design.\n\n44. The education program in Sudan is built on organic links amongst three operations. This Emergency Support Project (provided by the GPE Accelerated Fund) will ensure schools receive support during the economic crisis through extending school grants. A COVID-19 response project P174220 is being prepared with the aim of helping Sudan to maintain learning continuity during the pandemic and ensure appropriate resumption of teaching and learning when school starts up. The third operation, the Basic Education Support Project P167169(funded by GPE Education Sector Plan Implementation Grant) will support Sudan to continue to sustain the achievement and further Page 17 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) improve the equity, efficiency and learning outcomes of the education system by financing textbooks and reading materials, school grants and teacher training and support as well as data collection, analysis and feedback systesm.\n\n**F. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design**\n\n45. **The World Bank has successfully supported the recovery and stabilization of basic education sector in**\n**Sudan** . The Basic Education Recovery Project (P128644) (US$76.5 million) supported the improvement of learning\nconditions in basic education, covering classroom construction, provision of school grants disadvantaged schools, provision of a set of core textbook to all students in Grade 1 to Grade 4, and also provided training to teachers teaching Grade 1 to 3 to teach the new curriculum and textbooks. The project was successful in many cases (textbooks and schools in particular) surpassing the original targets, and was rated satisfactory at completion. The success stories - the textbook delivery mechanism and the successful implementation of the school grants - have provided a critical basis for the design of this operation.\n\n46. **The operation aims to build on the lessons learnt of BERP including:** A dual approach to school grants and administration facilitated community capacity building. Several school grant pilots were conducted which produced useful lessons that will be integrated into the scale up of the school grant sub-component. One successful method was using a dual approach to implementation. Government systems were used when capacity was adequate, and Intermediary Support Providers (ISPs) were used when capacity for planning and financial management was weak.\nIn the latter case, ISPs provided capacity building to localities, so they could eventually take over management of their school grants. These efforts included training communities on how to communicate effectively with the project, locality, and local banks (e.g., informing the project and locality executive officers when the grants procedures would be launched, which schools had amounts payable to them and their bank account information).\nIt also included training on how to open accounts and follow up on fund transfers to recipients’ bank accounts and reporting on finalization of grants.\n\n**III.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\n**A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n47. **The implementation will be mainstreamed through the MoE, State Ministries of Education and localities**\n**at the local government level, using the existing government structures in Sudan** .\n\n48. **Component 1 will be implemented by public schools with the support of the locality, state and MoE** . At MoE level, the Department of Planning will provide the overall coordination and support the school grants activities.\nThe implementation arrangement will build on the school grants experience under the BERP and, to the extent possible, government systems will be used to deliver the grants to schools, provide training on participatory planning, budgeting, monitoring and accountability. However, implementation capabilities may vary among the localities, therefore the project may make use of Third Party Providers to support capacity building at the beginning of the program and then phase out as the system mature. The nature and role of such third-party providers shall be defined once a capacity assessment is done to determine their capability to manage school grants.\n\nPage 18 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 49. **The MoE and States will be supported by a PCU.** The PCU will be led by a Program Manager and include the following key personnel: (i) school grant coordinator; (ii) program monitoring and evaluation specialist; and (iii) procurement, financial management and administrative staff.\n\n**B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n50. **The project will support the establishment of a robust monitoring and evaluation system to supplement**\n**and complement the Federal and State Ministries of Education structures.** The project will support training of state\nofficers on planning and budgeting to ensure timely development of monitorable annual plans with clear outputs.\nUnder the School Grants Program (Component 1), schools will receive regular supervision and support from localities, which means the latter will also need to strengthen their capacity to perform this task. Localities will train PTAs on participatory planning and use of school data for planning and monitoring purpose at the school level.\nLocalities will receive support for coaching and monitoring the reading program.\n\n**C. Sustainability**\n\n51. **The sustainability of project investments and activities guided project preparation and key elements of**\n**the project design.** First, the PDO and project-supported activities are consistent with national strategies—in terms\nof increasing access and improving the quality of basic education. There is also strong alignment between the indicators to be used to assess progress under the proposed project and the indicators/outcomes defined for the Government’s ESSP. Third, the technical contents of the project are supported by international and national evidence of good practices. Finally, a central focus of the project is strengthening the education system and capacity at all levels, including strengthening the community’s overall role in school management and planning, which is expected to be sustained in the long term. The elements discussed above support the sustainability of the project’s objective.\n\n**IV.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**A. Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\nTechnical Analysis 52. **The project is designed to support activities that address key issues in basic education identified by the**\n**current Education Sector Analysis and ESSP** : limited and inequitable access to basic education due to supply-side\nand demand-side constraints; poor quality of education service delivery and low student learning levels; and insufficient institutional capacity for efficient education system planning and management.\n\n53. **Project objectives and performance targets are based on detailed financial analysis and simulations** .\nThese objectives and targets are financially feasible if the national education budget is supported by external funding. The selected activities draw on international experiences and best-practice and past projects in Sudan and elsewhere as relevant.\n\nPage 19 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["school data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 54. **However, continued economic crisis exasperated by the COVID-19 outbreak and hyper-inflation may**\n**hinder achievement of project targets of improved retention in basic schools as more children may start dropping**\n**out to help their families.** Fuel crisis may hamper successful implementation of project activities such as school\ngrant provision as the schools would become harder to reach. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the implementation process and economic and social environment would be required starting from the Project effectiveness date.\n\nEconomic and Financial Analysis 55. **Investments in basic education in Sudan carry high returns.** Sudan is far from reaching the Education SDG 4 of universal primary completion because of the high number of dropouts within the primary cycle. Pupil retention within the basic cycle slightly improved from 48.2 percent in 2014 to 49.3 percent in 2018 but remains largely inadequate. Investment in basic education in Sudan is justified by low NER (69 percent) and completion rate (55 percent) and weak learning levels among enrolled students with 39 percent of Grade 3 pupils unable to read a single word in Arabic. The high share of illiterate pupils means that 39 percent of public resources spent on pupils in Grades 1-3 are wasted in the system, which is equivalent to SDG 473 million (US$14.6 million). See Annex 3 for a full economic analysis.\n\n56. **Use of public funds and external financing for basic education is well justified.** Repetition rates in Sudan’s basic schools are relatively low compared to other countries in the SSA region. Though, an estimated US$10.4 million is used annually to deliver basic education services to repeaters and pupils that drop out before completing the basic education cycle. Given an increasingly tight fiscal environment related to loss of oil revenues, ongoing conflict in some areas, and limited infrastructure, external resources are required for Sudan to meet the SDG targets and to expand and sustain the education developments achieved so far.\n\n57. **Domestic revenues will continue to be the main source of education financing** . Currently, public spending in education is very low with communities bearing much of the non-salary cost. Interventions under the project are justified by the urgent need to support schools during the transition school year to sustain pupil retention, as schools reopen following the COVID-19 closures. The rapid support serves an immediate injection and continuity of services to children and help complement ongoing humanitarian support; while ensuring previous GPE program gains are stabilized and new GPE priorities under the next Education Sector Program Implementation Grant (ESPIG) are established.\n\n**B. Fiduciary**\n\n**(i) Financial Management (FM)**\n\n58. The project will build on the BERP and will be managed by its PCU. The PCU is placed under the MoE but sits in a separate location. The purpose of keeping the PCU in place for the proposed project was to benefit from the institutional memory of the PCU staff who received training in basic World Bank project implementation and fiduciary procedures, and to inherit the existing investments in office equipment and vehicles. Nevertheless, certain equipment will need to be replaced/repaired/upgraded under the project. The following financial management arrangements will be undertaken by the project management and the Client: Page 20 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 59. **Budgeting:** The project will prepare an Annual Budget based on an agreed Annual Work and Procurement Plans. The budget will be adopted by the Project Steering Committee (PSC) before the beginning of the year and its execution will be monitored on a quarterly basis. Annual draft budgets will be submitted for the World Bank’s nonobjection before adoption and implementation no later than November 30 every year. The budget monitoring will be conducted at three levels: - (i) at transaction level, there will be checks conducted to ensure that payment requests are approved after checking the availability of budget; (ii) at system level, the accounting system should be able to support the budget monitoring aspect by tracking budget, by enabling easy recording of budgets and commitments, by enabling comparison of actual performance with budget; and (iii) at the report level- where the project will be preparing periodic/ad-hoc financial reports and analyses to follow up on budget utilization and variance analysis prompting management and or the PSC to appropriate actions and mid-way corrections. In addition, quarterly Interim unaudited Financial Reports (IFRs) submitted to the World Bank will include statements that show budget utilization, comparing actual expenditures with budgets and proving justifications/explanations for major variances. These and other budgeting process and monitoring will be clearly defined in the FM Manual.\n\n60. **Internal control and internal audit** : Internal control comprises the entire system of control, financial or otherwise, established by management in order to: (i) carry out the project activities in an orderly and efficient manner; (ii) assure adherence to policies and procedures; (iii) safeguard, manage and control the assets of the project; (iv) ensure completeness and accuracy of the financial transaction/information; (v) ensure proper segregation of FM-related functions; (vi) ensure proper flow of funds; and (vii) ensure adequacy and accuracy and recording of FM data. The details of these procedures will be documented in the Project FM Manual to be prepared.\nThe Internal Audit Chamber will assign a staff to carry out internal audit reviews on the project on a regular basis.\nThe reports of the internal audit will be shared during supervision missions. The project management will ensure that audit findings are timely resolved.\n\n61. **Disbursement Arrangement:** The following disbursement methods may be used under the project: reimbursement, advance, direct payment, and special commitment as will be specified in the Disbursement Letter and in accordance with the World Bank Disbursement Guidelines for Projects, dated February 1, 2017.\nDisbursements will be transactions-based whereby withdrawal applications will be supported with Statement of Expenditures (SOE). Documentation will be retained at the project for review by World Bank staff and external auditors. The Disbursement Letter will provide details of the disbursement methods, required documentation, designated account (DA) ceiling, and minimum application size. No withdrawal shall be made for payments made prior to the Signature Date of the Grant Agreement, except that withdrawals up to an aggregate amount not to exceed US$2,315,000 may be made for payments made prior to this date but on or after May 1, 2020, for Eligible Expenditures. The Closing Date is February 28, 2021. A period of four months (grace period) after the closing date will be allowed to complete processing of disbursement for eligible expenditures incurred up to and until the closing date of the grant.\n\n62. **Banking Arrangements** : The PCU will open a segregated Designated Account on or after May 1, 2020 denominated in Euro at a bank acceptable to the World Bank. Local currency account(s) can also be opened to receive transfer from the Euro account. The details of both accounts (the designated and project account) along with the details of account signatories will be communicated to the World Bank within one month after effectiveness. No disbursements will be made from the World Bank until the segregated bank accounts are opened Page 21 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) for the project. If ineligible expenditures are found to have been made from the Designated Account, the Recipient will be obligated to refund the same. If the Designated Account remains inactive for more than six months, the Recipient may be requested to refund amounts transferred by the World Bank to the Designated Account. These accounts will finance all eligible project expenditures as per the Financing Agreement. It is envisaged that funds will be held at the PCU only. Should a need arise in future to transfer resources to other entities, then a FM assessment for them will be conducted to ensure that adequate FM capacity exists and to mitigate risks.\n\n63. **Fund flow arrangement** : The World Bank will make an initial advance disbursement into the designated account for the project managed by PCU in Euro upon receiving a withdrawal application. Subsequent replenishment of funds from the World Bank to the Designated Account will be made upon evidence of satisfactory utilization of the advance, reflected in SOEs and/or on full documentation for payments above SOE thresholds.\nReplenishment applications would be required to be submitted regularly (preferably monthly). Funds can be transferred from the designated accounts to the project local currency account where payments in relation to project eligible expenditure can be made. In addition, payments could also be affected from the designated account for eligible expenditure. A separate local bank account will be opened for the counterpart fund, normally in the Central Bank of Sudan. Relevant payments will be paid out of this account.\n\n64. **Internal Reporting** : The PCU and specifically the finance officer will prepare financial reports regarding the project, analyze and explain these reports and submit to internal stakeholders or management on a regular and adhoc basis.\n\n65. **Reporting to the World Bank** : The PCU will prepare quarterly IFRs for the project in form and content satisfactory to the World Bank, which will be submitted to the World Bank within 45 days after the end of each quarter to which they relate. The IFR will support the monitoring of project implementation. The IFR format/content will include templates for: (i) Statement of Sources and Uses of Fund stating summary statement of funds received from IDA, expenditures incurred on the project appropriately classified and fund balances including opening and closing balances and the movements there of; (ii) Statement of Use of Funds by Project Activity/Component comparing budgets with actual expenditures/payments for the quarter and cumulative showing variances, budget burnout rates and balances, etc.; (iii) reconciliations of the DA and Project accounts as at the closing date of the reporting period; (iv) Notes to the IFR, advance and retention statements, supporting schedules e.g. aging analysis, bank statements, trial balances; and (v) any other forms and information that may be requested by the World Bank.\nThe Project also will prepare Annual Financial Statements (AFS) in compliance with International Accounting Standards and Bank requirements. The annual Project Financial Statements (PFS) will be prepared within 2 months of the close of the fiscal year to which it relates and will be submitted to the National Audit Chamber for audit. Audit TOR will show the content of the AFS.\n\n66. **External audit arrangement** : The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP)/PCU will be responsible for having the PFS audited by the National Audit Chamber (NAC). The Annual audited PFS and audit reports (including Management Letters) for the project will be submitted to the World Bank by MoFEP/PCU within six months from the end of the fiscal year. In accordance with the World Bank’s Policy on Access to Information, the World Bank requires that the Recipient disclose the audited financial statements in a manner acceptable to the World Bank. Following the World Bank’s formal receipt of these statements from the Recipient, the World Bank makes them available to the public as per the policy. The audit would be in conformity with the World Bank’s audit Page 22 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) requirements and in accordance with internationally recognized auditing standards. The auditor will express an opinion on the Financial Statements in compliance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). The NAC will also prepare a Management Letter giving observations and comments, and providing recommendations for improvements in accounting records, systems, controls and compliance with financial covenants in the Grant Agreement. As noted above, the audit report will be submitted to the World Bank within six months after the end of the accounting period to which the audit relates. The audit Terms of Reference (ToR) for the project audit will be prepared by MoFEP/PCU and will be agreed with the World Bank by negotiations.\n\n**(ii) Procurement**\n\n67. **The procurement of the project will be implemented by the PCU** . The PCU will have the same fiduciary function as under the BERP implementation.\n\n68. **The procurement arrangement has been assessed and the procurement risk is rated as “High.”** The risk will be mitigated through regular reporting on the progress and implementation of fiduciary activities by the PCU, World Bank supervision, World Bank procurement team hands-on support as required, and further capacity building and training. Risk mitigation measures have been discussed and agreed with the PCU. The measures include intensive trainings of staff from the procurement unit on the use of the World Bank procedures and processes for procurement of works, goods and selection of consultants. The preparation of a procurement plan for the duration of the project would also contribute to alleviate the risks.\n\n69. **Procurement under the proposed operation will be guided by the following documents** : (a) the ‘World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers dated July 1, 2016, revised November 2017 and August 2018 (Procurement Regulations); and (b) the World Bank’s Anticorruption Guidelines ‘Guidelines on Preventing and Combatting Fraud and Corruption’, revised July 1, 2016. The Project Implementation Manual “the Community Contracting Project Implementation Manual” has been revised in accordance with these documents and will include simplified instructions and procedures for procurement in decentralized units (schools and communities) and detailed procedures for administration and handling of procurement-related complaints. The PTAs procurement capacity in handling Community-Driven Development (CDD) procurement and Contract Management need to be revisited and reassessment is important on individual case basis to ensure that PTAs get the required skills and training for the appropriate procurement delivery in line with the IPF guidelines.\n\n70. **As required by the procurement Regulations, the Recipient has already prepared the Project Procurement**\n**Strategy for Development (PPSD) and a draft Procurement Plan covering the first 18 months of** **implementation** .\nThe project will use the World Bank’s online procurement planning and tracking tools to carry out all procurement transactions. The is the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) which is an end to end and will be used for submission, clearance, to capture procurement data and to update the Procurement Plan. Sudan has procurement, contracting and public asset management regulations (law). Any contract, which will be procured through National Competitive Bidding (NCB) procedures, would be subjected to these national procurement procedures. The project has no complex procurement that may pose a challenge to the Recipient capacity.\nProcurement activities are similar to those under BERP. As such, the Client is familiar with the types of procurement that will be undertaken under this project.\n\nPage 23 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 71. **Summary of the Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD):** Based on the main conclusions of the PPSD, the environment is considered favorable for the execution of public contracts. The goods including the IT equipment required for the project, including the laptops and desktops can be procured from the domestic market by using “Request for Quotations.” IT equipment with the appropriate software, photocopiers and office furniture will be procured through Direct Selection as well as other printing materials. In the case of vehicle rentals for fieldwork, if needed, a wide domestic market exists, including a number of enterprises capable of fulfilling the contracts. No consultancy firm is expected to be recruited; while individual consulting services will be open to both local and international candidates through advertisement in local and international media. The Implementing Agency has already developed clear procedures for the use of Request for Quotations and Individual Consultants Selection. The complete PPSD has been prepared and is included in the project operational manual. The proposed Procurement and Selection methods in view of the identified activities are all Post Review.\n\n~~.~~ **C.

Environmental and Social**\n\n72. **Environmental Risk Rating – Moderate** . School grants are expected to be an important source of funding for schools to support the acquisition of basic learning materials, stationery, notebooks, classrooms furniture, provide services such as water provision and support small reparation, which will contribute for improving the learning environment, which can attract and retain pupils and teachers in school. The school grants may be used to support teachers (in cash or in-kind). An estimated US$2 per child will be allocated equally to all schools, with the maximum amount US$1,000 per school. Due to the possibility that the grants may be used for water supply and sanitation infrastructure (such as supplying water tanks, clay pots) within school boundaries, etc., the environmental risk rating is considered to be moderate. This risk rating can be changed later during implementation according to a re-assessment of environmental risks.\n\n73. **Social Risk Rating (SRR) - Moderate.** The school grant will be used for financing stationery, paying volunteer teachers if the number of teachers is not enough, supporting school meals for very poor children and provision of drinking water for both teachers and students were water isn’t available in the school. The potential social risks may arise from utilization of grant resources. Though in all of themselves, the project activities are low risk, the SRR is considered moderate as the project will support voluntary teachers in schools across Sudan, including in conflict affected areas where the contextual risk to the project is considered moderate. The social risk mitigation measures include, undertaking robust stakeholder engagement, using third party (NGOs) to implement the school grant in conflict affected areas and preparing labor management plans which will help to manage the potential risks. A social assessment will be prepared by September 2020 to deepen the understanding of the issues.\n\nPage 24 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 74. **Safeguards Management Approach and Capacity** : An Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) has been prepared and disclosed on April 23, 2020. Since this project is prepared under emergency procedures (Investment Project Financing Policy Paragraph 12), the ESCP outlines the commitment by the Client to update the ESMF of the Sudan Basic Education Support Project and finalize after project approval. A labor management plan has been prepared and disclosed on April 3 2020. The MoE will continue to serve as the implementation agency for this project. Within the MoE, there is an existing PCU which will hold responsibility for carrying day-today implementation of project activities. The PCU is supported a social mobilization and grass-roots capacity building/school grant coordinator and a safeguards specialist to carry out environmental and social safeguards implementation, monitoring and reporting respectively. National institutional capacity is thus strong. The PCU has a history of engaging with State Ministries and local communities to build capacity, and there is a component in the project dedicated to funding this, especially for the new States being added.\n\n75. **Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure -** The project has prepared a stakeholder engagement plan based on the findings of a stakeholder mapping. This plan was disclosed in country on April 23, 2020 and on the World Bank website on April 30, 2020. There will be continuous stakeholder engagement by the MoE, State Education Offices, implementing entities; such as, partner non-government organizations. The project social mobilizers will closely work with the school level Parent Teacher Association (PTA) in the process of stakeholder engagement and community consultation.\n\n76. **Grievance Redress Mechanism:** in Sudan, customary institutions including community development committees are responsible for managing community grievances. In case of grievances and disputes the communities/tribes typically settle these problems through their traditional system/community committees.\nFurther, the native administration or be heard by local courts, which are staffed with traditional leaders such as Nazir, Omdas, and Sheikhs serving as mediating and ruling out. The customary court can refer cases to the formal court system; however, chiefs and sub-chiefs in many areas continue to arbitrate grievances and disputes arising within the community. The BERP had weak institutionalization, systematic recording and reporting of grievances so the project needs to set up a grievance/complain handling mechanism building on existing local practice with defined procedure, timeline and capacity building to the committee.\n\n77. **Gender** : the project will consider gender sensitive planning, through systematic gender analysis, action, monitoring and reporting. The analysis will consider gender disparities among different states, retention of girls in schools, understanding female teacher situations. The gender aspects differ among pastoralists, geographic locations, agro-pastoralists, which will be accounted in the implementation of the project. The project will also raise awareness and engage communities in making sure girls do not enter early marriage and stay in schools to complete basic education.\n\n78. **Gender Based Violence:** in improving school planning and monitoring the proposed project will help to reduce GBV. To prevent and reduce such risks, the project will engage in awareness and stakeholder engagement campaigns as part of the continuous community consultation that will accompany project activities. For cases of GBV and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), the State PCU social mobilization and grass-roots capacity building/school grant coordinator specialist will be the focal person to ensure referral and services. If cases are reported, the project will allocate adequate resources to build awareness of this mechanism for bringing GBV Page 25 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) grievances to the attention of the State focal person.

Adoption and Implementation of the GBV Action Plan will be done within six months of effectiveness and during project implementation and will be maintained throughout the Project life.\n\n**V.** **GRIEVANCE REDRESS SERVICES**\n\nCommunities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns.\nProject affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of WB non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond.

The overall risk for the proposed project is rated **Substantial** . While sectoral, technical and stakeholder risks are moderate, political/governance and macro-economic risks are high and fiduciary risks are substantial.\nBelow are the high and substantial risks and mitigation measures: (a) _Political and governance risks (high)_ . The federal system limits the possibility to coordinate and steer the education system to achieve the national educational objectives. To mitigate this risk, the Program Coordination Unit established within the Federal MoE will coordinate the vertical and horizonal project activities. There are capacity constraints in the system, but more than one third of communities and schools have already been trained in the management and implementation of school grants under previous project.\n\n(b) _Macro-economic risks (high)_ . Sudan’s macro-economic situation is erratic and significant fluctuations exist. The ongoing food and fuel crisis also continue dampening investor confidence affecting key economic sectors especially the service sector which is still in its infancy in Sudan. The resultant rising inflation, exchange rate instability and continued currency depreciation greatly weaken economic activity.\nThe poor are particularly affected by rising inflation given their high food share in consumption, and limited mesas to preserve the erosion of the value of their savings. This increases the risks that parents will not be able to afford to send their children to schools and that counterpart funding will not be forthcoming. The COVID-19 crisis is expected to aggravate the situation. The current economic crisis in Sudan has created a large variation between the official exchange rate and the parallel market and the devaluation of the Sudanese currency. The Central Bank of Sudan official exchange rate is 1 USD = 58 SDG however the parallel market has fluctuated greatly reaching as high as 1 USD = 140 SDG; an average of 70 Page 26 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) SDG to the USD is currently calculated. . In light of the urgency of the situation, this emergency support will be conducted in a short project implementation cycle, limiting the impacts of macro-economic fluctuations and providing much needed resources directly to the schools. The project aims to thereby reduce some of the pressure on households to finance education services and ensure that students, especially girls, stay enrolled in schools.\n\n(c) _Fiduciary (substantial)_ . There are risks related to the project’s fiduciary management (i.e., FM and procurement). The MoE has gained substantial experience in managing World Bank funds with the BERP which was rated satisfactory in financial management. The new project will continue to emphasize strong fiduciary controls and checks and balances. Standard controls, such as financial audits and internal audits, as well as systematic monitoring, will be built into the project design to mitigate fiduciary risks.\n\n.\n\nPage 27 of 40", "output":

It also considers challenges in the education sector and risks\nidentified in the Systematic Operations Risk-Rating Tool. It reflects the lessons learned from the past projects in Sudan. The project implementation rests under the responsibility of the MoE with targeted and continuous implementation support and technical advice from the World Bank.\n\n2. **The implementation support strategy is based on several mechanisms** that will enable enhanced implementation support to the Government, on-time and effective monitoring of the Project, and guidance to implementing agencies on technical, fiduciary, environmental and social aspects, as necessary. The implementation support thus comprises: (a) implementation support missions; (b) regular technical meetings and field visits; (c) progress report on Results Framework; (d) M&E; and (e) harmonization among development partners and other stakeholders.\n\n3. **The World Bank’s implementation support will broadly consist of the following:**\n\n- Capacity-building activities to strengthen the ability to implement the project, covering the technical,\nfiduciary, and environmental and social dimensions\n\n- Provision of technical advice and implementation support geared to the attainment of the PDO, PDO-level\nand intermediate outcome results indicators\n\n- Ongoing monitoring of implementation progress, including regularly reviewing key outcome and\nintermediate indicators, and identification of bottlenecks\n\n- Monitoring risks and identification of corresponding mitigation measures\n\n- Close coordination with other DPs to leverage resources, ensure coordination of efforts, and avoid\nduplication 4. **Role of the World Bank.** The World Bank’s implementation support team will be composed of country office (CO) based Task Team Leader (TTL), and both HQ-based and CO-based operations and specialist staff, who will be closely working with the client on a regular basis on implementation monitoring. Consultants will also be engaged for additional support in the key areas of reforms including governance, fiduciary, and safeguard management.\n\n5. **Role of GPE and Local Education Group.** GPE and Local Education Group will be critical in providing oversight of the project implementation and maintaining the policy dialogues on key sector policies under the project. GPE and Local Education Group will join the biannual project implementation support missions.\n\n6. **Fiduciary arrangements.** FM and procurement arrangements will build on and use the capacity developed under the previous projects. The World Bank FM and procurement specialists are based in the World Bank’s CO in Khartoum and will support project implementation through regular reviews and on-time training and capacity building of staff of the client. Formal supervision of fiduciary processes and procedures will be conducted biannually, and implementation support will be provided as required by the World Bank team.\n\n7. **Social and environmental safeguards.** The World Bank environmental and social development specialists will provide regular implementation support to the Government in the implementation of the ESMF.\n\nPage 32 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812)\n\n**Implementation Support Resource Requirements**\n\n8.

This section summarizes the results of the economic and financial analysis carried out to identify the current\nchallenges of the basic education sector in Sudan and to underline the potential economic gains to the society that could be sought through the Project.\n\n**Education Sector Context and Labor Market Outcomes**\n\n2. Sudan is far from the Education SDG 4 of universal primary completion because of the high number of dropouts within the primary cycle. Access to Grade 1 in basic education is relatively high with four out of five six-year-olds being enrolled on time (see table A3-1), however, the dropout rate is very high, leading to 55 percent basic completion rate in 2014. The retention within the basic cycle slightly improved from 48.2 percent in 2014 to 49.3 percent in 2018 but remains largely inadequate to generate larger efficiencies. Grade 6 survival rate improved by 2.3 p.p. from 64.3 percent in 2015 to 66.6 percent in 2018.\n\nTable A3-1: Access, enrollment, and completion rates in basic education in Sudan\n\n**Sudan** **Urban** **Rural**\nNet entry rate (6-year-olds) * 82.8% 90.4% 79.9% NER (6-13-year-olds) * 69.1% 85.8% 62.6% GER (6-13-year-olds) * 73.3% 88.0% 67.4% Grade 4 survival rate** 84.7% 97.7% 76.8% Grade 6 survival rate** 66.6% 83.3% 56.5% Grade 8 survival rate** 49.3% 68.2% 37.8% Completion rate (13-year-olds) * 55.0% 58.2% 52.6% _Source:_ authors’ estimates based on the data from Sudan MICS 2014* and School Census 2018** 3. About seven percent of people never attended school in 2014. Real access increased by eight percentage points from 85 percent in 2009 to 93 percent in 2014. Access at age six increased by 30 percentage points from 40 percent in 2009 to 70 percent in 2014. The increase is driven by an increase in access among the bottom-40 percent of the population. System demonstrated growth between 2009 and 2014 with late entry remaining constant at 11 years. Those who are not ever attended school at age 11 will never attend.\n\n4. The poor retention rate in basic education comes from a lack of school demand, in particular, among the poorest. Economic difficulties and behavior such as early marriage, pregnancy, and economic hardships explain the fragility of school demand. The lack of supply (overcrowded classrooms, ‘open-air’ or temporary classrooms, and incomplete schools) also negatively effects retention rates. According to the School Census data, 16 percent of students are enrolled in a school that does not provide full course of basic education cycle (8 grades). In addition, these students are likely to drop out before completion.\n\nPage 35 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["School Census 2018"], "descriptive_data": ["School Census data", "data from Sudan MICS 2014"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) 5. **Repetition rates are relatively low compared to other countries in the SSA region** . There was a slight improvement in the repetition rates: from 5.3 percent in 2015 to 4.8 percent in 2018. Though, an estimated SDG 336 million (US$10.4 million) is used annually to deliver basic education services to repeaters and pupils that drop out [3] .\n\n6. **Learning levels of students in basic schools in Sudan are generally weak** . Representative evidence from the National Learning Assessment find that on average 39 percent of grade 3 pupils are not able to read a single word and only 5 percent of pupils read fluently (more than 60 words per minute) in Arabic (NLA, 2018).\nFurthermore, the assessment of reading speed among third graders indicated an average speed of 15 words per minute, which is far below the estimated minimum reading speed of 40 words per minute thought to be necessary to gain understanding of and meaning from the text. The high share of illiterate pupils in grade 3 means that 39 percent of public resources spent on pupils in grades 1-3 are wasted in the system, which is equivalent to SDG 473 million (US$14.6 million).\n\n7. **The Internal Efficiency of the system is weak**, particularly due to very high dropout rates and low learning achievements of pupils. The IEC at the primary level is particularly low (39 percent), which implies that more than half of public resources are wasted in paying for repeated grades or schooling for students who dropout before cycle completion.\n\n**Economic Rationale for Public Investment in Sustaining Basic Education Enrollment in Sudan**\n\n8. The rationale for public sector financing of basic education is well established. Investments under the Project would strengthen efficiency and equity at the basic level overall, likely contributing to improved learning outcomes at the school level. The pressing needs and challenges for both improved efficiency and equity warrant public sector support consistent with Sudan’s commitment to providing Universal Primary Education of reasonable quality to all children.\n\n9. Investment in basic education in Sudan is justified by the low NER (69 percent) and completion rate (55 percent) and weak learning levels among enrolled students. National Learning Assessment conducted in all 18 states of Sudan found that Grade 3 students performed very poorly. On average, 40 percent of pupil are not able to read a single word. This suggests that there is not only a large proportion of school-age children out of school but even when in school many students are not learning.\n\n**The Project’s Development Impact**\n\n10. The project is expected to contribute positively to Sudan’s education system and national economic development. It aims to sustain enrollment in public schools during the economic crises and pandemic. To that end, it is expected that the proposed interventions will affect the probability of a child completing primary education and transitioning to the secondary level. This, in turn, will yield gains in labor earnings measured 3 Authors’ estimation based on 2018 School Census data and reported USD/SDG exchange rate (Economist).\n\nPage 36 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["2018 School Census data", "National Learning Assessment"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) over the course of a standard working life. The key project's economic impact is, therefore, estimated as the incremental benefit accruing to a representative child as the result of effects induced by the program's interventions.\n\n11. Provision of school grants under the project is aimed at incentivizing schools to make better use of existing resources to achieve improved learning and efficiency goals through better retention of students. Gains in internal efficiency will lower the cost to the government for providing basic education: as less students fail and repeat grades, government spends fewer resources. Improvements in teacher knowledge and effort shall result in reduced dropouts in the course of the basic education cycle.\n\n**Expected Economic Benefits**\n\n12. The proposed project is likely to yield positive results on the education quality in the medium-run as it: (a) targets an area of intervention, basic education, that is critical for long-term school performance, as measured by standardized assessment; (b) supports and complements the Government’s reforms in this area; and (c) provides instrumental additional funding to support both cost-effective and well-targeted basic education programs.\n\n13. The analysis was therefore restricted to the quantifiable economic impact and benefits. These comprise: (a) impact on internal efficiency estimates and cost savings, that is, government budget savings due to reduction of ‘inefficient’ expenditures on pupils that drop out (Internal Efficiency Gains), and (b) impact of completion probabilities in basic education, that is, direct private returns to schooling (External Efficiency Gains).\n\n14. The importance of schooling and learning to economic growth and development is well documented.\nEducation is central to achieving the goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity.\nHigh levels of education are often associated with improved economic opportunities, including higher improved access to jobs and higher lifetime wages. Education is also correlated with healthier life choices and increased voice and agency, the ability to make decisions and act on them. At the country-level, economic benefits include increased rates of economic growth through gains in productivity and a greater capacity to adopt new technologies. But education is not only instrumental in promoting development; it is also by itself an end of development.\n\n15. However, recent evidence suggests that learning is more important for earnings and development than educational attainment (which fails to account for the quality of education). This issue is of particular importance in countries, including Sudan, where school enrollment has increased rapidly and therefore educational attainment but, in some cases, accompanied by a decline in the quality of schooling with adverse consequences for student learning. When student learning levels are low, this provides a strong indication that education systems are not performing as intended.\n\n16. Education is a good predictor of wellbeing. Among Sudan’s population with higher education, two thirds are in the richest quintile of the population compared to only six percent among population without education Page 37 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) (figure A3-1).

The current economic analysis presents estimates of the efficiency gains in basic education to 2021, based on enrollment estimates employing UN population projections, average values from recent years for intake into Grade 1 of basic education (from the School Census) relative to population, and recent trends in promotion and retention in each grade of basic school. The analysis employs the same projections as the current Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) including for the GDP growth (IMF/World Bank), share of domestic resources spent on education (a 0.5 p.p. annual increase from 9.8 percent in 2017/18).\n\n20. _Gains from improved Internal Efficiency_ . The project objective is to sustain enrollment in public schools meaning that the enrollment in target schools is to increase at the rate of the population growth – 2.5 percent per annum: from 5.40 million pupils to 5.54 million in 2021. The analysis is built on the assumption that survival and repetition rates will remain unchanged.\n\n21. We compare inefficient government spending under the expected scenario and a scenario, under which there is no increase in the student enrollment. The following formula is used to estimate inefficient spending: 8 x x\n\n[i] ∗Gi Inefficient Spending = ∑( [D][i] Gi x ) ∗S [x], x i=1 where Dxi is the dropout rates in grade i in year x in target schools; Gxi is the number of pupils enrolled in grade i in year x ; S [x] is the projected government spending per pupil in year x .\n\n22. According to the results of the analysis, the share of inefficient public spending in public schools is equivalent to 16 percent of overall public expenditures in education in Sudan. If all public schools will sustain the current level of survival, the share of inefficient public spending would decrease by 0.6 percentage points by 2021 compared to the scenario where the enrollment numbers are stagnant. This improvements in spending efficiency translate into the Government savings in basic education equivalent to SDG 122 million (US$ 2.6 million) in 2019-2021 [ 4] .\n\n_Impact on External Efficiency: Impact on Completion Probabilities in Basic Education_ xi is the dropout rates in grade i in year x in target schools; Gi where Di 23. The proposed Project is likely to sustain the current level of survival rates and completion probabilities in basic education. In 2014, only 57.4 percent of 10-to-13-year-olders had at least four years of completed basic education, i.e. more than third of that cohort failed to complete lower primary education on time (table A32). We expect that by 2021 there would be 40 thousand more pupils in grades 6-8 in public schools with a high probability of the majority (80 percent) being literate and functionally numerate.\n\n4 Estimations based on the enrollment projections and the current official exchange rate – 47.5 SDG/USD.\n\nPage 39 of 40", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["School Census"], "descriptive_data": ["UN population projections"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nSudan Basic Education Emergency Support Project (P172812) Table A3-2: Education Completion Rates in Sudan (2014) Male, Urban Male, Rural Female, Urban Female, Total Rural Grade 4, lower basic (10-13-year-olds) 64.6 50.8 68.9 56.9 57.5 Grade 6 (12-15-year-olds) 48.2 38.0 47.0 45.1 43.3 Grade 8, upper basic (14-17-year-olds) 37.5 29.7 46.1 35.0 35.4 _Source:_ authors’ estimation based on Sudan MICS data 24. _Conclusion_ . The project is designed to support activities that address key issues in basic education identified by the 2018 Education Sector Analysis and the ESSP for 2019-2024: limited and inequitable access to basic education due to supply-side and demand-side constraints; poor quality of education service delivery and low student learning levels; and insufficient institutional capacity for efficient education system planning and management.\n\n25. Project objectives and performance targets are based on the detailed financial analysis and simulations using assumptions for basic education enrollment, student repetition, student-teacher ratios, class size, and economic growth, share of public resource to education (and to basic education) and the official exchange rate.

Country Context**\n\n1. **Turkey has high growth potential, but recent shocks have affected the sustainability of its**\n**economic gains since the early 2000s** . After the Global Financial Crisis in 2008-2009, growth has been\nincreasingly fueled by credit growth and accumulation of (mostly foreign exchange) private sector debt, together with temporary stimulus policies. These led to declining productivity growth and macroeconomic imbalances in late 2017/early 2018. The situation was compounded by exogenous factors including multiple election cycles, regional conflict, and difficult international relations.\n\n2. **Economic vulnerabilities that had accumulated over the past four years came to a head in mid-**\n**2018.** Policy stimulus in the aftermath of the 2016 failed coup led to economic overheating. Though\ngrowth accelerated to 7.4 percent in 2017, this came at a cost of double-digit inflation and a large current account deficit. A hardening of external economic conditions in mid-2018, together with tense international relations, led to a depreciation in the Turkish lira. This profoundly affected the real and financial sectors. Corporations and banks suffered due to high foreign exchange debt, annual inflation peaked at 25 percent in October 2018, the economy went into recession in the second half of 2018, and unemployment spiked from 10 percent in January 2018 to 14 percent in June 2019.\n\n3. **The Turkish economy over the past 12 months has experienced major adjustments.** Current account imbalances have declined, banks have reduced their external exposure, and portfolio flows have started to recover. These adjustments have lessened external vulnerabilities that had accumulated in the run up to the August 2018 currency shock. They have also contributed to a more stable lira, notwithstanding bouts of currency volatility. There has also been steady disinflation over this period.\nThese developments were supported by selected policy responses and accommodative global monetary conditions. Even so, foreign exchange reserves have eroded over the past two years, exposing Turkey to external market pressure.\n\n4. **Stagnating output, high costs of production, and high consumer prices have led to significant**\n**job losses and falling real wages.** Unemployment among the youth is particularly high, jumping from 19\npercent to 25 percent between May 2018 and May 2019. Average real wages declined by 2.6 percent between 2017 and 2018 but have picked up more recently due to adjustments to the minimum wage.\nPoorer households have been most affected because many low-income workers are employed in construction and agriculture—the sectors that saw the biggest decline in jobs. Moreover, the long-term impact of the real wage effects is greater for the poorest households because they have limited coping mechanisms.\n\n5. **Turkey now faces a two-fold challenge.** In the near-term to extricate itself from a downturn whilst maintaining the disinflation momentum, navigating an uncertain external environment, and addressing corporate debt overhang; and to put in place appropriate policy and institutional settings to support a shift to a sustainable-medium term growth model. The pace and sustainability of Turkey’s recovery will depend on reducing economic uncertainty backed by consistent policy mix. The economy has stabilized in the short-term. The gross domestic product is projected to rebound to 3 percent and 4 percent in 2020 and 2021, respectively. However, given the high degree of uncertainty in the global outlook, restoring Page 8 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) confidence and reducing domestic risk premia with appropriate monetary stance and effective fiscal policy would be key for sustaining recovery. Rigorous progress in advancing structural reforms such as deepening financial markets and completing overdue labor market reforms will help to mitigate vulnerabilities, and support growth in the medium term.\n\n6. **Turkey is both a transit and reception country for migrants and refugees and, globally, the**\n**country hosts the highest number of refugees.** [1] Because of the crisis in its southern border with Syria,\nTurkey has been hosting an increasing number of refugees and foreigners seeking international protection. In addition to hosting more than 3.6 million Syrians, [2] who are under temporary protection, there are an estimated 400,000 asylum seekers and refugees from other nations. The country’s refugee response has been progressive and provides a model to other countries hosting refugees. However, the magnitude of the refugee and migrant influx continues to pose substantial development consequences for not only the displaced but also for the communities into which they settle, contributing to the expansion and overcrowding of settlements; increased demands for urban services (including water supply, sanitation, and solid waste services); additional pressure on infrastructure and the urban environment; conflicts over land; and increased competition for employment, housing, and social services. These stresses stretch the limited capacity of urban local governments, including municipalities and other service providers. Apart from the large cities such as Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, many of the cities hosting a high concentration of Syrians are already located in the more vulnerable or disadvantaged provinces in Turkey, which exacerbates the development challenges.\n\n7. **The Government of Turkey spent an estimated €31 billion to meet the needs of refugees and**\n**hosting communities from the beginning of the Syrian crisis to 2017.** [3] This includes the provision of free\nhealthcare and education, as well as allowing legal access to the labor market. The international community has also provided over €4 billion since 2016, of which 95 percent is from the European Union (EU). [4] This includes the first tranche of the EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey (FRIT), which is a €3 billion fund launched in 2016, designed to support the Government hosting refugees; €600 million EU support outside FRIT; and over €400 million in bilateral support from EU countries. Other donors, such as United Nations agencies; international, national, and local civil society organizations; and international financial institutions (IFIs), have also been playing an important role in Turkey’s refugee response, implementing a diverse range of programs and projects, accounting for over €200 million. These efforts have been geared 1 Directorate General of Migration Management, 2019. This Project Appraisal Document uses the term refugee regardless of the country of origin, although Syrians are under temporary protection status, and non-Syrians under international protection law.\n_[http://www.goc.gov.tr/icerik6/temporary-protection_915_1024_4748_icerik](http://www.goc.gov.tr/icerik6/temporary-protection_915_1024_4748_icerik)_ .\n2 The terms ‘Syrians’ and ‘refugees’ are used in terms of sociological context and widespread daily use and are independent of the legal context in Turkey and Turkish Law. Turkey is a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol. Turkey retains a geographic limitation to its ratification of the 1951 United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees, which means that only those fleeing as a consequence of ‘events occurring in Europe’ can be given refugee status.

The Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n8. **The recent worsening of economic and labor market conditions risks exacerbating key structural**\n**challenges in the labor market.** Between 2005 and 2018, the economy managed to create 8.7 million jobs\nowing to sustained growth and the introduction of a wide range of government programs and subsidies aimed at stimulating labor demand. More recently, however, the link between economic growth and job creation, especially formal job creation, has weakened, and the number of formal jobs created was insufficient to absorb all the new cohorts entering the labor market. As a result, the unemployment rate among youth ages 15–24, already one of the highest rates among the countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has increased dramatically since the beginning of 2018, reaching almost 25.0 percent, while total unemployment has risen to 13.6 percent.\n\n9. **Creating more and better formal jobs remains a priority because, as a result of the recent**\n**economic downturn, the long-term declining trend in informality has slowed substantially.** Informality\ndecreased from 48 percent in 2005 to 33 percent in 2018, but this trend has been stagnating since 2015.\nInformality gradually decreased until 2015, after which it began to increase slightly, reaching 36 percent in July 2019 (23.2 percent in nonagricultural sectors). [5] Informality reached 42 percent among women in 2018 and 50 percent among people with less than high-school education. Informal employment is more extensive in provinces that have been affected by the Syrian influx, especially the southeastern provinces, reflecting the absorption of Syrians able to work in informal jobs.\n\n10. **The influx of Syrian refugees has added additional pressure on the labor market.** As previously noted, Turkey is the largest refugee-hosting country in the world, with 3.6 million Syrians. Turkey also hosts refugees from other countries (for example, Afghanistan and Iraq). The Syrian inflows to Turkey began in 2011, and the number of Syrian refugees in the country increased dramatically between 2013 and 2016. The surge represented a large labor supply shock to the economy. Many Syrians able to work, mostly low skilled, began taking up informal jobs that paid less than the minimum wage, thereby crowding out native formal workers.\n\n11. **The high unemployment rates in refugee-hosting areas—up to 27 percent—signal the**\n**seriousness of the challenges facing local and refugee job seekers.** Most provinces, hosting high numbers\nof refugees, were already among the most disadvantaged in economic welfare and economic opportunities before the Syrian crisis, including a higher incidence of low-skilled workers, lower labor force participation rates, and high unemployment rates relative to the national average. To prevent further deterioration in labor markets, promoting permanent formal job creation is critical.\n\n12. **The socioeconomic integration of refugees into the economy and improvements in livelihoods**\n**in areas with high incidence of Syrians Under Temporary Protection (SuTP) are a major challenge.** The\nfew available data sources point to the substantial participation of working-age refugees in informal jobs.\nAlthough most refugees are poor and vulnerable, many can work (around 430,000), but work informally (86 percent) for relatively low wages (TL 1,300 [US$220 equivalent] per month on average) (Livelihoods 5 The latest official monthly data refer to July 2019.\n\nPage 10 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) Survey). [6] Only 2 percent of respondents to a recent survey reported that they were working and had work permits. About 65 percent of the beneficiaries of the Emergency Social Safety Net Program (ESSN), a temporary humanitarian program, report that their main source of income is short-term informal work. [7] This will become a more significant problem once the ESSN comes to an end.\n\n13. **One of the most important contextual factors that limits formal job creation is the poor access**\n**to financing among firms.** Credit service provision is less developed in many provinces where refugees\nlive and work. According to the World Bank Enterprise Survey, most respondents (76 percent) in the affected regions assert that access to finance deteriorated loan terms and conditions (interest rates, maturity, and collateral requirements). [8] Poor access to longer-term financing limits enterprises from investing, increasing production capacity, and providing sustainable employment opportunities. After high tax rates, access to finance is perceived as a top constraint on firms, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), seeking to carry out and expand business in Turkey. [9] Limited access to finance can also have a negative impact on labor market outcomes, resulting in higher unemployment, higher workforce informality, and lower employment growth. Limited access to credit is also problematic among large enterprises (LEs) because these have the potential to create more jobs, especially among refugees, including higher-quality formal jobs. [10] 14. **Banks do not usually have adequately structured resources to offer medium- to long-term**\n**maturities to most firms, mostly because of the short term of their liability base, thus leaving firms,**\n**mostly SMEs, open to severe liquidity and interest rate risk.** **[11]** Lack of cash flow-based financing and high\ncollateral requirements constrain access to finance among SMEs. [12] After the global financial crisis and strong rebalancing in the economy after August 2018, major banks have significantly cut their exposure to SMEs and LEs. The banking system has limited access to long‐term financing. It is funded mostly by relatively stable customer deposits that mature in less than three months, while most of the lending is concentrated in loans for more than three months. The result is a negative liquidity gap, that is, more liquid liabilities than assets, or a liquidity mismatch risk, which peaks in the one- to five‐year maturity range. These imbalances are reflected in bank loan portfolios and the liability structure of enterprises. The bank‐dominated financial sector thus has only a limited ability to provide the maturity critical to support SMEs and LEs that need to make long‐term investments, expand production capacity, and increase employment. In order to address the problems mentioned above, the government introduced some measures to improve SMEs access to finance and their entrepreneurial capacities, that could result effective in the medium to long-term: 6 Turkish Red Crescent and World Food Programme. 2019. _Refugees in Turkey.

However, it declined to 23 percent, in 2019, despite several statefinanced policy stimulus programs. This fluctuation demonstrates how SMEs are among the first and most affected frontiers of the financing cycle.\n\n16. **SMEs account for most firms in Turkey, but they have been facing difficulties in growing and**\n**expanding.** Firm composition is highly skewed toward microenterprises and small firms. Firms with fewer\nthan 10 employees represent 84 percent of all firms that have employees; yet, they employ only 20 percent of the workforce. Firms with fewer than 50 employees represent 97 percent of all firms and employ 44 percent of the workforce, while, overall, SMEs (fewer than 250 employees) account for almost all firms (99.5 percent) and employ 66 percent of all formal sector workers. However, 84 percent of all new job creation between 2014 and 2016 was generated by large firms (more than 250 employees); firms with between 50 and 250 employees accounted for 20 percent of job creation, while firms with fewer than 50 employees experienced net employment loss (–4.5 percent). Meanwhile, SMEs are more highly exposed to rising mandatory labor costs, such as the increase in the national minimum wage, which grew by 33 percent in nominal terms between December 2015 and January 2016. Constrained by such costs, SMEs may resort to hiring workers informally or might exit completely from the registered formal sector and continue operations informally.\n\n17. **Another major challenge affecting the capacity of firms to create jobs and expand is the capacity**\n**to find skilled workers.** An inadequately educated labor force is perceived to be among the top five\nconstraints to doing business in Turkey. The analysis of data on more than 7 million job postings at the public employment agency (İŞKUR) between 2016 and 2018 and from İŞKUR’s Labor Market Needs Assessment Survey and the top nine online job search portals shows that the most critical skills sought by employers across provinces are behavioral, socioemotional, and software-related skills.

The gap is substantial at all ages. The participation rate among adult women ages 25–64 is 38 percent versus the OECD average of 64 percent. Since 2009, the gap between the female and the male unemployment rates has been widening steadily, and the unemployment rate reached 14 percent among women in 2018. Women also suffer from higher informality in the labor market, which reaches 42 percent of total female employment versus 29 percent in the case of male employment. Women are twice as likely as men to be unpaid family workers (representing 20 percent of total female employment versus 10 percent among men). There is a higher incidence of young women not in education, employment, or training, which reaches 33 percent of the female population ages 15–24, versus 15 percent among males.\n\n19. **By supporting enterprises in gaining access to longer-term financing, through grants and loans**\n**to boost their operational capacity, and on formal job creation that provides decent working conditions**\n**in the case of grant recipients, the project will contribute to improving the conditions to increase formal**\n**employment** **[15]** **opportunities and formalization of workers in selected provinces.** It also contributes to\nthe employability of the beneficiaries through formal on-the-job work experience and skill building. This will directly or indirectly contribute to strengthening the local economy by reducing unemployment and informality and increasing social cohesion.\n\n20. **The proposed project is a part of the World Bank’s engagement in Turkey by focusing firm-led**\n**job creation among the most vulnerable populations.** It targets communities negatively affected by\nrefugee-related risks associated with the Syrian conflict. It does so by supporting the Government of Turkey’s efforts to alleviate certain constraints to access to financing using grants and loans for firms most likely to create formal jobs largely for work-able, low-income, workers. The workers are those who would otherwise be eligible for noncontributory emergency social safety net (income or cash transfers) support in selected provinces with a high number of refugees. These workers are largely ineligible for other interventions supported by the Government of Turkey, the World Bank, or other development agencies. [16] 21. **The project is informed by the frameworks of the World Development Report (WDR) 2013, on**\n**jobs, and the WDR 2011 on conflict, security, and development.** The WDR 2013, on jobs, calls for a threepronged approach to addressing job creation, including (a) ensuring macroeconomic fundamentals, (b)\nexamining labor policies, and, as needed, (c) designing targeted interventions to address structural or systemic exclusion among highly vulnerable populations. [17] Similarly, WDR Report 2011, on conflict, discusses productive employment as a key factor that helps accelerate the shift from fragility-associated welfare risks to greater resilience and social cohesion. [18] The proposed project also seeks to alleviate welfare- and social cohesion-related risks through greater inclusion of vulnerable groups in the formal sector.\n\n15 The definition of formal employment used here is “workers registered in the social security system through their main job.” 16 These include ongoing lending operations focusing on strengthening financial sector conditions and access to finance in traditional banking; other proposed FRIT grant-financed interventions supporting active labor market policies, microenterprises, and agricultural cooperatives for low-skilled and high-skilled populations; and World Bank-financed technical assistance on macroeconomic reforms, labor institutions, employment subsidies, and social assistance policies.\n17 World Bank. 2012. _World Development Report 2013: Jobs_ .

The Relevance to Higher-Level Objectives**\n\n22. **The proposed project is a part of and aligned with the Turkish Government’s and development**\n**partners’ broader response to the Syrian refugee crises.** The alignments of the proposed actions with key\nnational and multilateral strategies are as follows: (a) **11th Development Plan (2019–2023).** The project is aligned with the objectives of the development plan to combat informal employment, to enhance the participation of groups requiring special policies in labor force and employment and to encourage (particularly beginning from local level) the participation of women in all levels of economic, social, and cultural life and decision-making mechanisms.\n\n(b) **New Economic Program.** The proposed action is aligned with the key objectives of the New Economic Program in tackling the structural problems of the labor market and combating informal employment.\n\n(c) **Turkey’s Syrian Refugees Response Program.** The action will be part of the larger joint response of the Turkish Government, the European Commission (EC), and the World Bank to the Syrian refugee crisis. The proposed action directly responds to two of the four priority areas of the EC’s response on socioeconomic support: ‘ensuring and increasing formal employment and entrepreneurship’ and ‘improvement of the labor market cohesion’. Also, it is in line with the Government of Turkey’s current response seeking to facilitate integration of refugees into society and economy. The program will complement the Government efforts to create local employment opportunity, reduce regional disparities, and eventually improve social cohesion.\n\n(d) **National ESSN Exit Strategy.** The strategy calls for the graduation of 180,000 SuTP into the labor market making them self-reliant. In this effort, the same number of Turkish citizens shall be supported, adding up to 360,000 beneficiaries. The proposed project takes up the strategy by providing formal employment to work-able Syrians and Turkish citizens alike.\n\n(e) **World Bank Country Partnership Strategy.** The project will seamlessly build on former projects by the World Bank, such as the Inclusive Access to Finance Project (P163225) with the Development and Industrial Development Bank of Turkey (TKYB) and FRIT I-supported projects (Employment Support Project for Syrians Under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens [P161670]), Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Syrians under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens in Selected Localities Project [P165687], and Development of Businesses and Entrepreneurship for Syrians under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens Project [P168731]).

Project Beneficiaries**\n\n41. **Firms eligible for loan or grant financing will be the direct beneficiaries of the project.** The planned action will also benefit three groups of stakeholders indirectly: (a) work-able trained refugees and Turkish citizens and their families who will enjoy an improvement in their living standards, (b) financial institutions (TKYB and PFIs), and (c) their loan officers; and the local economy through the increase of formalization and new opportunities for economic interaction.\n\n_Direct Beneficiaries_ 42. **Private enterprises in selected provinces.** An estimated number of 859 (88 loan beneficiaries and 771 grant beneficiaries) [24] enterprises operating in project provinces will be direct beneficiaries of the program. The TKYB and financial sector intermediaries will be identifying, through broad outreach activities, eligible borrowers and grant recipients in line with financial soundness conditions and willingness to abide by the conditionality criteria. These enterprises will benefit by accessing resources that will allow them to realize their long-term investment plans and obtain working capital. Financial resources (grants and loans) will enable firms to undertake new investments, expand production, and improve their business performance and ultimately their productivity. The grant will support additional investments of eligible firms and will incentivize job creation and reward compliance for long-term retention of workers.\n\n24 This reflects the minimum numbers with the assumption that every beneficiary will get the upper limit of the loans and grants.\n\nPage 19 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) _Indirect Beneficiaries_ 43. **Refugees and ESSN beneficiaries.** Refugees residing in the 24 target provinces and those workable refugees who exit from the ESSN, willing and able to find formal employment could directly benefit from the program. Refugees acknowledge that finding better employment opportunities is of utmost importance for them. The increase in demand for refugee labor could incentivize refugees to seek skills training and subsequently seek formal employment opportunities.\n\n44. **Turkish citizens.** Turkish citizens, currently unemployed or entering the labor market and seeking work, would have formal employment opportunities. Because of the conditionality to be imposed on firms accessing grant financing, employment will be formal in nature. Such jobs are likely to directly improve the livelihood of beneficiaries and their families. The increase in demand for labor could incentivize people to obtain industry-relevant skills to fulfil the employment requirements of beneficiary enterprises.\n\n45. **TKYB and PFIs (intermediaries).** The proposed project will also directly support the TKYB and various intermediaries through technical assistance and training of loan officers. For instance, loan officers will be sensitized to service broader client markets (foreign firms). They will also be trained to assess the viability of employment plans and on how to guide applicant enterprises to find suitable workers from institutions such as İŞKUR and others. The TKYB will be supported to draft and sign a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Services to work directly with the Social Security Institution (SGK) and with İŞKUR for distinct functions that relate to the conditionality. The staff involved in project implementation will also be trained on the enforcement of the conditionality, including report drafting, the verification and validation process, sanctions process, and data exchange with SGK.\nThese capacities will be kept by the PIU staff and the mechanism and learning can be used for future projects with similar objectives.\n\n46. **The local economy, including the refugee community, will also enjoy the injection of economic**\n**resources that a large influx of available financing (both grant and loan) makes possible.** All the\ninstitutions involved will benefit from capacity training and improvements in their overall services to clients through the provision of more integrated services.\n\n**D. Results Chain**\n\n47. **The proposed project aims at enhancing the conditions conducive to greater formal job creation**\n**and long-term employability of refugees and Turkish citizens.** The challenges the project aims to deal\nwith are as follows: (a) low access to finance to create formal jobs, (b) high rates of informality and unemployment, and (c) low skilled labor force. Figure 1 describes the expected theory of change, from access to inputs (finance and skilled labor) to the utilization of those inputs to improve firms’ capacity to expand business, create job opportunities, and improve workplace conditions, thereby contributing to the longer-term intended impact on formal job creation. Other outcomes will be higher integration of workable refugees to the workforce and increased skills of the workforce.\n\nPage 20 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766)\n\n**Figure 1. Theory of Change**\n\n**E. Rationale for World Bank Involvement and the Role of Partners**\n\n48. **The project will leverage the World Bank’s experience with line of credit interventions in Turkey**\n**with a strong inclusion focus.** The project design builds on recent lines of credit operations supporting\nTurkish exporters, SMEs, and energy efficiency investments, all rated Highly Satisfactory or Satisfactory by the World Bank Independent Evaluation Group. The TKYB has experience working with the World Bank and is willing to explore opportunities to expand formal job creation through its existing and future client base and draw lessons for future activities.\n\n49. **Improved access to finance can lead to significant positive effects on employment growth**\n**among private and formal firms in Turkey.** The empirical evidence shows that firms with greater access\nto finance markets, are more likely to experience higher employment growth. Access to finance constraint has a significant negative effect on employment growth for small firms (5–49 employees) and large firms (250+ employees). The effect is stronger for the large firms (see annex 4). When considering specific forms of finance interventions, lines of credit targeted to SMEs show comparatively greater potential to spur employment growth. Out of 15 studies investigating the impact of lines of credit (see annex 5), 10 had a specific focus on job creation. All 10 studies reported that lines of credit had positive and significant effects on employment generation. For instance, a World Bank-financed onlending program targeted at SMEs resulted in the creation of 7,000 jobs and the preservation of 35,000 jobs among beneficiary firms in Turkey. Also, compared with nonbeneficiary firms, beneficiary firms created more jobs. Employment effects persisted after three years from disbursement.

These activities have provided insight to the design and will provide insight into the implementation of this project. Another EU FRIT Project (Strengthening Economic Opportunities for refugees and Turkish Citizens in Selected Localities) will also provide lessons on the occupations and demanded skills in provinces with high incidence of refugees.\n\n51. **The knowledge the World Bank gained through these programs will be used for the planned**\n**action.** Moreover, the proposed action will also leverage previous experience from other EU- and World\nBank-financed projects that aimed to improve the institutional capacity of the Government to implement conditional grant-loan programs and provide beneficiary enterprises more integrated services that encourage them to become more inclusive of foreign workers.\n\n52. **The proposed action is also complementary to other employment generating activities being**\n**submitted by the World Bank under FRIT II.** For instance, the proposed project with IŞKUR and Turkish\nRed Crescent aims to make refugees and Turkish workers more employable and readier to be placed into jobs. [26] This project will have a direct link to that project to ensure that enterprises accessing financing have a direct connection to IŞKUR to hire their trained beneficiaries for immediate placement. A memorandum of understanding will be signed between the TKYB and İŞKUR to ensure such a direct link is actualized on the ground. This project will also establish links with the World Bank’s ongoing assessment with Ministry of National Education (MoNE) to ensure that technical and vocational graduates trained have a smooth school to work transition into employment by providing graduates with more plentiful employment opportunities. [27] Still, with its unique design and innovative approach, the actions in this project proposal maximize complementary with and avoids duplication of existing programs.\n\n**F. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design**\n\n53. **The project will leverage the World Bank’s comparative advantage in offering competitively**\n**priced long-term funds and builds on and expands the successful experience with implementing line of**\n**credit interventions in Turkey.** The key lessons learned include the need for a: (a) capable borrower or\nimplementing agency; (b) simple and flexible design, allowing for easy operational adjustments if needed; (c) clear definition of target beneficiary enterprises, with minimum overlap between wholesale and direct lending components; (d) intensive monitoring of key indicators that measure the quality of the loan portfolio; (e) use of quantitative eligibility criteria for PFI selection; and (f) availability and use of sound analysis and data on the financial performance of PFIs, along with external audits for verification.\nFurthermore, the project seeks to enhance the development effectiveness of the World Bank’s financial intermediation operations in Turkey by targeting specific segments of the economy that experience particularly severe access to finance constraints. The innovative design also reflects lessons learned from 26 Support for Transition to Labor Market for People under Temporary and International Protection and Turkish Citizens Projec _t_ (P171471).\n27 Turkey's Quality Learning and Inclusion Roadmap (P172472).\n\nPage 22 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) other World Bank credit lines in other regions (for instance, Africa), as well as from recent credit lines by the International Finance Corporation and the EBRD in Turkey.\n\n54. **The project design will reflect the lessons from a series of recent line of credit and FRIT**\n**operations supporting Turkish exporters, SMEs, and energy efficiency investments,** including Export\nFinance Intermediation Loan (EFIL) I (P065188), EFIL II (P082801), EFIL III (P093568), SME I (P082822), EFIL IV (P096858), and Inclusive Access to Finance Project (P163225). Further, the project design will learn from both implementation and political economy challenges, especially related to the difficulties associated to the employability of refugees, from several FRIT I projects, such as Employment Support Project (P161670), Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Syrians under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens in Selected Localities Project (P165687), and Development of Businesses and Entrepreneurship for Syrians under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens Project (P168731).\n\n**III.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\n**A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n55. **The TKYB will be responsible for the implementation of the project and was selected based on**\n**its demonstrated strong capacity to design and implement complex, innovative projects** . The TKYB has\nexperience in implementing financial intermediation loans funded by the World Bank and other IFIs, including both direct lending and on‐lending through PFIs. The TKYB has undergone a demand assessment during project preparation, including on the willingness of the firms to fulfill the job creation objectives, that shows encouraging results. Additional criteria for selecting the TKYB include the bank’s financial soundness, quality of credit portfolio, and its performance as the Borrower in previous World Bank Projects. The proposed project is being processed under Bank Policy: Investment Project Financing paragraph 12, referring to projects in situations of urgent need of assistance or capacity constraints. The project design will be based on principles to be determined in the Project Operations Manuals (POMs) and derived from a mix of the TKYB’s current and planned implementation modalities. Annex 3 provides background information on the TKYB, and a summary evaluation of the TKYB against the World Bank’s standard criteria for financial intermediaries listed in OP/BP 10.\n\n56. **A PIU will be established under the TKYB, which will coordinate and facilitate relevant project**\n**activities and have fiduciary responsibility.** The PIU will be staffed with individual consultants with\nsafeguards, fiduciary, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and technical experience, as well as the TKYB staff from different units. The PIU responsibilities will include (a) selecting and onlending to PFIs; (b) monitoring of PFIs to ensure compliance with project criteria including PFIs’ application of the TKYB’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS), where needed (projects with moderate risk will require application of the TKYB’s ESMS whereas subprojects with low risk can be conducted based on the environmental and social [E&S] risk assessment procedures of PFIs); (c) coordinating the TKYB’s direct lending to large firms eligible for loans; (d) coordinating extending grants to eligible firms and monitoring their compliance with grant agreements; (e) adhering to all fiduciary and safeguard requirements of the World Bank for final borrowers; (f) providing financial management arrangements for the project; (g) all procurement implementation under Component 3 and overseeing all beneficiary procurement under Component 2; and (h) ensuring M&E based on agreed results indicators.\n\nPage 23 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) 57. **PFIs will be selected by the TKYB based on their financial health.** PFIs will onlend to SMEs under the loan component, thereby increasing the reach of the TKYB to areas and sectors where it currently has no presence. The TKYB will take the credit risk of PFIs and therefore has a strong incentive to carefully assess their financial health and operational capabilities. The PFI selection is also subject to a ‘no objection’ process by the World Bank, while Subsidiary Finance Agreement covenants between the TKYB and PFIs require compliance with standard prudential regulations thereby ensuring the financial health of PFIs.\n\n58. **SGK** **will provide the official employment records to monitor compliance with job creation and**\n**retention.** To assess the compliance of grant-recipient firms with the formal employment creation and\nretention targets specified in the business plan at the moment of application, the PIU at the TKYB will receive regular employment and wage records for beneficiary firms from SGK at grant allocation, every six months thereafter, and periodically following requests for disbursements and claims of conditionality compliance by beneficiary firms.\n\n59. **İŞKUR will participate as public provider of skills and skills-building capacity for prospective**\n**employees of beneficiary firms.** The TKYB staff will guide beneficiary firms in the identification and\nrecruitment of job seekers. This will include the development of guidelines and materials to support loan officers in assisting beneficiary firms in recruiting personnel through various employability programs supported by the Government or the EU, such as İŞKUR, Red Crescent, and the Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants. Formal links between the TKYB, and various employment or training institutions will be established to ensure that appropriate referrals lead to recruitment.\n\n60. **A FRIT Project Steering Committee will be established for the overall implementation under**\n**Component 2 of the project.** The TKYB will convene and ensure the appropriate functioning of the\nSteering Committee, consisting of relevant stakeholders (i.e. İŞKUR, SGK ), to carry out a semiannual review of implementation progress. The TKYB PIU will carry out the secretariat role of the Steering Committee.\n\n61. **Two POMs which detail the responsibilities of all stakeholders and institutions at the central**\n**and local levels for implementation of the project components will be developed and finalized before**\n**effectiveness.** The POMs will be shared with all stakeholders to ensure full understanding of project\ncontent and implementation.\n\n62. **The PIU will report implementation progress to the World Bank.** There will be semi-annual implementation reports presenting the progress and status of expenditures under each component separately; and quarterly reports presenting the progress with the key indicators in the Results Framework.\n\n**B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n63. **The PIU will report on progress on the PDO and intermediate indicators (including core**\n**indicators for World Bank-wide monitoring and gender-related indicators) on a semiannual and annual**\n**basis.** The PIU will prepare semiannual project progress reports to be shared with the World Bank, by\ntaking into account different reporting requirements under the grant and loan components. The TKYB is accustomed to collecting such information from PFIs and beneficiary enterprises for previous World Bank Page 24 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) projects. A midterm and end line citizen engagement survey will be conducted by the TKYB to seek feedback from beneficiary firms on their satisfaction with the project. The PIU will discuss the survey results with PFIs and the results will inform project implementation, as appropriate. The financial performance of the TKYB will be monitored through independent auditors’ reports and separate management letters confirming adherence to prudential norms. Monitoring of core intermediate result indicators at the PFI level will enable the TKYB and the World Bank team to take action in case of a significant deviation for a specific PFI, which may affect the progress toward the PDO. Though, it is not included in the Results Framework, the PIU will also report the statistics on formal employment creation in the loan beneficiary firms.\n\n**C. Sustainability**\n\n64. **The project is expected to facilitate greater intermediation by the financial sector in the**\n**currently underserved market segments.** Although the World Bank loan amount is small relative to the\npotential demand for such loans in project provinces, the multiplication effect will be achieved through the TKYB’s channeling of any subfinance repayments to other eligible firms both through PFIs and directly for the same purpose. More broadly, the World Banks’s financing support under the project will go handin-hand with strengthening the capacity of the TKYB and other PFIs to serve the specific needs of beneficiary firms.\n\n65. **To avoid market distortions, the TKYB and PFIs will follow their respective pricing policy**\n**according to market conditions.** The cost of onlending subsidiary financing through PFIs will include, at a\nminimum, the cost of World Bank funds to the TKYB, plus an onlending margin reflecting the TKYB’s administrative costs, a credit risk margin (or risk markup) associated with the PFI, and fees to the Ministry of Treasury and Finance for the guarantee provision. Ultimate beneficiary costs will add, at a minimum, the PFI’s administrative costs and a credit risk margin (or risk markup) associated with the beneficiary enterprise. The only significant market advantage from the World Bank funds is in terms of maturity, facilitating the provision of long‐term finance to enterprises without taking on a significant maturity mismatch. TKYB with the support of the World Bank will also ensure that the grant allocation process is non-distortionary and transparent\n\n**IV.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**A. Technical, Economic, and Financial Analysis (if applicable)**\n\n66. **Economic estimates on the impact of the project components on formal job creation in the short**\n**and medium run show substantial employment effects across different types of firms.** Under the main\nscenario related to the costs associated to workers’ wages, it is estimated that the project will generate approximately 9,000 new formal jobs through the grant.\n\n67. **The parameters used to assess the potential job creation effects of the grant component are in**\n**line with labor market characteristics and employment composition by type of firms in project**\n**provinces.** Potential beneficiary firms are divided into three main groups depending on firm size, which is\na very strong predictor of job creation in Turkey: small firms (below 50 employees); medium firms (between 50 and 250 employees); and large firms: above 250 employees, which account for 30.4, 22.6, Page 25 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["statistics on formal employment creation"], "vague_data": ["citizen engagement survey", "core intermediate result indicators"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) and 47 percent of total employment in project provinces, respectively. The expected employment growth assumed for large firms is in line with the trend observed between 2010 and 2016: this has been discounted by a penalty factor to account for the fact that grant beneficiary firms might not necessarily be top performing firms, given their financial constraints. The expected growth rate in employment for SMEs reflects the expected effect of the grant on job creation: in fact, SMEs employment yearly growth rate between 2010 and 2016 has been negative, but the findings from the economic literature (see annex 5) suggest that SMEs tend to benefit more than proportionally compared to other type of firms from the alleviation of financial constraints. Another working assumption is that the distribution of the grant across firm types should be consistent with the distribution of employment. Given these conditions, the expected number of jobs to be created for the ‘average’ firm in each group are estimated, and then the total number of potentially beneficiary firms in each group is obtained. In summary, the table shows that around 9,000 jobs are expected to be created under the grant component, of which over 4,500 are in SMEs, by reaching out to approximately 771 beneficiary firms in project provinces (table 2A, scenario 1).\n\n**Table 2A.

A lower grant per firm allocation under Scenario 2, however, has several less desirable implications. First, it lowers the number of expected jobs created per firm. Second, grant beneficiary firms can find more challenging to meet the conditionality criteria of 18 months of workers retention, since they have less resources to ensure sustainability. Third, there are less resources per beneficiary firm to be used for capital investments, which limit the possibility to further enhance job creation exploiting the complementarities between capital and labor. Fourth, in order to achieve the same expected outcome of jobs created with smaller grants-per-firm, it will be necessary to outreach to a much larger number of firms (almost double), which will increase the transaction costs and the management burden on the project. Table 3 shows that under the preferred parameters (table 2A, scenario 1), the grant allocation is more cost effective than in the alternative scenario based on smaller grant amounts per firm (and particularly so for small and large firms), with an average difference of 335 euro per worker (column 1 vs. column 2 in table 3).\n\n**Table 4.

The results depend largely on the skills composition of the new hires, on the expected employment duration, and on beneficiary firm’s survival rates. Under the assumptions implied by the intermediate (and more realistic) scenario under column [2] in Table 4, we can expect substantial returns to the grant component, varying between 9 and 14 percent. These estimations will be regularly updated during implementation, to provide valuable information on the project’s internal rate of return as soon as real data become available.\n\n70. **The above estimates of both job creation and internal rate of return, should be considered as**\n**realistic but conservative estimates for the purpose of assessing the total job creation potential of the**\n**whole project.** In fact, the figures do not include the number of jobs potentially created under the loan\ncomponent. Further, the above estimates do not take into account yet possible multiplier effects, deriving by the linkages and the interaction between loan and grant beneficiary firms operating in the same markets. Finally, the effects of Component 3 of the project, might help making the project more sustainable, for instance by reducing the risk for workers in beneficiary firms of dropping out from formal employment, and by this token increasing the internal rate of return of the project as a whole.\n\n71. **Estimates of the potential employment generation capacity of loan beneficiary firms, show that**\n**the joint impact of both project components in terms of formal job creation can be much larger than**\n**the effect estimated under the grant component alone.** In fact, when estimating the potential number\nof jobs created by loan beneficiary firms throughout the duration of the project, and still under conservative assumptions on their annual employment growth rate, we obtain that up to 3400 jobs could be created under the loan component (table 5). Therefore, the total job creation impact of the project can be estimated in over 12400 jobs. Further, when considering spillovers effects generated by the linkages between loan and grant receiving firms (estimated in around 10 percent for both components), we obtain even higher figures, and we estimate that the project as a whole could lead to the creation of over 13600 formal jobs (table 6). These estimates yield to a cost-per job for the total project ranging between 16000 and 17700 euros (table 7). These results suggest that the project as whole can be significantly cost-effective, if we compare these figures with the average cost-per-job for the largest subsidy program for Small Businesses in the USA (between 12500 and 15000 USD, see Annex 5), and other comparable programs financed by the EU to stimulate job creation and business expansion form SMEs through enhanced access to finance and lending [28] 28 See Annex 5, the reference to Bertoni et al. (2019), and Asdrubali & Signore (2015), showing employment growth ranging between 14and 18 percent for loan beneficiary SME firms, respectively in Central Eastern European and Western European countries, under the EU-financed Multi-Annual Program for Enterprise & Entrepreneurship (MAP) for SME under EU SME Guarantee Facility (SMEG).\n\nPage 28 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766)\n\n**Table 5.

Further, successful grant beneficiary firms with high record of job creation, could “graduate” and potentially become loan beneficiary firms.\n\nPage 29 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["project-run firm survey", "database of all Turkish firms"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) _Methodology and Implementation Approach_ 74. **The implementation support strategy is developed considering the risks and mitigation**\n**measures related to the operation and targets the provision of flexible and efficient implementation**\n**support for the TKYB and other stakeholders.**\n\n_Methods of Implementation_ 75. **The project will offer enterprises an option of accessing grant versus loan financial resources to**\n**undertake investments in existing businesses.** This project combines resources from an EU grant and a\nWorld Bank loan to the TKYB, guaranteed by the Government of Turkey, to increase access to financial resources to enterprises located in provinces affected by a large influx of refugees to expand their production and/or service capacity and as a result increase the workforce needed. Enterprises will be able to access a ‘loan only’ option or a grant option. The project also includes a subcomponent to strengthen the implementation capacity of the staff and the institutional capacity of the TKYB and PFIs. The grant approval process will have a separate governing body to ensure transparency of implementation and enterprise (beneficiary) selection. The project will set up a compliance mechanism which will rely on a partnership between the TKYB and SGK. The project will include activities that focus on training the staff, as well as the PFIs and their staff, to apply and monitor project compliance and ensure the overall achievement of results.\n\n76. **The project will include an M&E function, to be performed by the World Bank, to ensure that**\n**the implementation process is on the right track and impact evaluations are carried out to document**\n**results.** Because the selection criteria for grant beneficiary firms will be based on a scoring system, in the\npresence of a sufficiently large number of applicants and eligible firms, it will be possible to identify the final pool of beneficiary firms by selecting randomly among eligible firms with identical scores and similar characteristics. This approach will allow to build comparable ‘treatment’ and ‘control’ groups and will enable the TKYB to assess the effectiveness of the intervention by monitoring the performance (in terms of employment creation) of beneficiaries versus non-beneficiary firms. Finally, the World Bank team will inform the EU about the list of identified grant beneficiary firms under its no-objection.\n\n_Organizational Structure_ 77. **The TKYB will implement the program within its existing organizational structure.** It will integrate the project in its systems and use its own staff for the overall management of the project.\nAlongside the PIU, the TKYB staff in various departments (loan evaluation, loan marketing, intelligence and financial analysis, and IT) will manage and implement the project as part of their regular routine. The staff assigned to work on the project are highly qualified and experienced. There is a clear separation of duties between the staff with respect to evaluation of applications, review of documents and approvals, and accounting and reporting. The TKYB will document work flows specific to the project in the POMs. To facilitate coordination, experts from technical departments can be assigned to the PIU. The TKYB will ensure that a full-time dedicated team of experts for the implementation of projects’ E&S impacts as well as stakeholder engagement activities and grievance management are assigned before project effectiveness.\n\nPage 30 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) _Role and Participation of the Stakeholders_ 78. **The main groups of stakeholders are—as explained in previous sections—refugees, Turkish**\n**citizens, private enterprises of all sizes, and the TKYB and its intermediaries.** The project assumes that\nall stakeholders will be supportive in project implementation. The broader development agenda in Turkey and the FRIT Program is supported by a wide range of partners, including United Nations agencies, the EBRD, KfW, _Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit_, _Agence Française de Développement_, and other national and international financial institutions. The project design will benefit from consultations with these partners. The project will also interact with other stakeholders like local authorities, nongovernmental organizations working in the field, and other civil society organizations. These stakeholders are expected to be supportive or at least neutral to the implementation. To improve the quality of communication, and collaboration, these stakeholders will be targeted during the outreach activities.\n\n79. **The project’s dual options, grant versus loan financing, aims at maximizing the impact regarding**\n**employment generation and outreach.** Placing an emphasis on SMEs and, to a certain extent, on LEs as\nfinal beneficiaries, the project aims to spur investments and generate good-quality employment by enhancing access to longer-term finance and better training opportunities for underserved segments that might not have secured loans with similar conditions in the absence of the project. Focus on beneficiaries of different sizes (SMEs and LEs) calls for a variety of intermediary institutions and models that complement each other. Therefore, the project’s dual option modality intends to facilitate the outreach to all targeted segments and achievement of the operation’s broader impact.\n\n**B. Fiduciary**\n\n**(i) Financial Management**\n\n80. **The PIU will be responsible for the financial management of all parts of the project.** They will maintain the two Designated Accounts that will be opened for the project (one for the loan and one for the grant). The PIU will ensure that accounting for the project is maintained in the TKYB’s own system and the semi-annual reports are generated automatically through the system. The internal controls for all components of the project will be detailed in the POMs and the acceptance of the POMs will be an effectiveness condition for the Loan and Grant. The PIU will prepare semi-annual interim unaudited financial reports for the project and ensure that the project financial statements are audited on an annual basis by auditors acceptable to the World Bank. The audit reports will be submitted to the World Bank within six months following the end of the year.\n\n**(ii) Procurement**\n\n81. **The World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers dated July 2016 revised in**\n**November 2017 and August 2018 (‘Procurement Regulations’) will apply to Components 2 and 3 of the**\n**proposed project.** The TKYB will assume full credit risk in onlending the financings to private sector\nborrowers under Component 1 of the project and therefore the Procurement Regulations do not apply to the procurement of goods, works, non-consulting services, and consulting services under Component 1 of the project (refer to paragraph 2.2 (b) of the Procurement Regulations).

The anticipated\nconstruction-related impacts might include habitat disturbance, air and noise emissions, community health and safety (including traffic management-related risks and gender-based violence risks) and occupational health and safety risks, and so on. The operational phase impacts will depend on the investment sector of the beneficiary and will be determined after the subprojects are defined during project implementation. Workplace adaptation trainings incorporated into the project design will reinforce social cohesion between Turkish citizens and refugees. In informal employment circumstances, there is a risk for Syrian refugees to be engaged in informal, low wage work and child labor. These labor risks will be mitigated by formal employment creation, which will be verified by the SGK, requiring SMEs and LEs to implement age verification procedures, and by the requirements to all interested SMEs/LEs to ensure that their business plans are in compliance with national labor and occupational health and safety laws. The TKYB and PFIs will screen SMEs/LEs on a range of labor issues and will have the supervision role through their ESMS to ensure that the business plans are implemented in line with national laws and relevant requirements of Environmental and Social Standards (ESS)2.\n\n87. **The final corporate ESMS of the TKYB was adopted by the TKYB Executive Board on January 17,**\n**2020, and its Environmental and Social Policy together with Exclusion List and summary of ES**\n**procedures were disclosed on TKYB’s website** **[29]** **on February 12 and 28, 2020, respectively.** The World\nBank reviewed the TKYB’s ESMS and concluded that it contains all necessary elements as required by respective Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and ESSs, and thus, can be used for the assessment and management of E&S risks of subprojects. The ESMS provides screening of all subproject applications and assigning risk ratings and identification and preparation of appropriate site-specific environmental and social assessment (ESA) instruments, such as Environmental and Social Management Plans, to address site-specific impacts as well as impacts of associated facilities (if any). Site-specific ESAs will duly incorporate and comply with the provisions of national legislation, World Bank Group Environmental Health and Safety General and Industry Specific Guidelines, (and Good International Industry Practices as well as relevant sectoral guidelines will be used. The capacity of the TKYB’s PIU will be enhanced by assigning/hiring additional full-time staff to support implementation and monitoring of project activities, as defined in the respective E&S documents, and to ensure compliance with the World Bank’s ESF. The World Bank will conduct ESF training and capacity building for the financial intermediary (TKYB) before implementation. The World Bank will monitor the financial intermediary and the financial intermediary will monitor the PFIs to successfully screen subprojects, and the World Bank will conduct prior review for an initial set of subprojects of the TKYB and from then after conducting post-review of selected subprojects, as part of regular project supervision. Potential risks and impacts related to labor and working conditions are expected to be managed through the project design and the TKYB’s ESMS. The TKYB has prepared a labor management procedure (LMP), which will apply to direct and contracted workers. The LMP also includes a screening questionnaire of loan and grant recipients, on labor and working conditions, 29 Environment and Social Policy of the TKYB, accessed on February 6, 2020, at https://english.kalkinma.com.tr/environmentaland-social-policy.aspx.\n\nPage 33 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) and age verification procedures. The TKYB will also apply a corporate-level Human Resource Policy (dated April 2019), which is in line with national regulations and ESS2 requirements.\n\n88. **In line with ESS9, the TKYB will apply relevant requirements of ESS2 to subprojects and SME and**\n**LE loan and grant recipients.** Grants will be provided conditional on the commitment of firms to formally\nemploy Turkish citizens and refugees in project provinces and sustain the newly created jobs throughout the duration of the grant. The jobs will be formal and will providing decent working conditions consistent with ESS2 requirements, social security, and other legally mandated benefits. SMEs and LEs will adhere to the labor code provisions. These requirements will be included in the legal agreements between the TKYB/PFIs and loan and grant beneficiary firms. To verify formality and duration of employment, the TKYB will receive regular employment and wage records for beneficiary firms from SGK.\n\n89. **The TKYB has prepared, disclosed, and consulted its Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) where**\n**direct stakeholders include potential SMEs and LEs, unemployed work-able Syrian refugees and Turkish**\n**citizens in targeted provinces, and PFIs.** The SEP has also identified indirect stakeholders (project-affected\nparties and other interested parties) including IŞKUR, SGK, local nongovernmental organizations/civil society organizations, community leaders, and local government representatives residing or working in the project areas.\n\n90. **The TKYB will establish a good communications strategy to be implemented throughout the**\n**lifetime of the project.** In disseminating project-related information to potential SME and LE beneficiaries,\nthe TKYB and PFIs will employ experienced loan officers to engage with the direct target group (potential beneficiary firms). In addition, both the TKYB and PFIs will hire individual consultants who will be able to use various engagement tools specified in the project’s SEP. According to ESS10, public consultation meetings will be required for both Turkish citizens and refugees to introduce project information and E&S documents, once the subprojects are known. To mitigate potential risks and address received grievances, the TKYB and PFIs will establish a project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) to address inquiries or concerns in line with project SEP. The project-specific GRM will also benefit from the national-level GRM through Cumhurbaşkanlığı İletişim Merkezi (CIMER) and Yabancılar İletişim Merkezi (YİMER) as defined in the SEP.\n\n**E. Citizen Engagement, Gender, and Climate Co-Benefits**\n\n91. **Citizen engagement activities will be carried out to involve project beneficiaries in two-way**\n**engagement processes.** The project will develop and adopt a set of participatory tools for engaging\nbeneficiaries, tailored to suit firms and employees of beneficiary firms. The project will obtain feedback from (a) loan beneficiary firms (SMEs and LEs) under the loan component, (b) grant beneficiary firms (SMEs and LEs) under the grant component, and (c) employees (refugees and Turkish citizens) of beneficiary firms under the grant component.\n\n(a) The loan component of the project will adopt a set of tools to obtain feedback continuously through the project. Building on the TKYB survey of 600 firms conducted during preparation, beneficiary firms will be involved in the following sequence of activities: (i) **Participatory needs assessments and decision making over training needs and the**\n**design of training programs.** The TKYB, in collaboration with PFIs, will conduct\n\nPage 34 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) participatory needs assessments with loan beneficiary firms to establish their trainings needs at the application stage.\n\n(ii) **Post-training assessments.** The TKYB will conduct a post-training assessment to measure the satisfaction and impact of the trainings, with the results being used by training providers to revise and improve the process in subsequent assessments.\n\n(iii) **Satisfaction surveys.** The TKYB, in collaboration with PFIs, will conduct satisfaction surveys in the midterm and end term with the loan beneficiary firms regarding the subfinance received in terms of their needs. [30] (iv) **Biannual beneficiary workshops, roundtables, and focus group discussions** (targeting different beneficiaries: employers, civil society and end beneficiaries) will be held to discuss the survey results with a view to developing measures that improve the project design (such as the selection criteria of loans beneficiary firms, loan utilization, and choice of training activities). This activity will draw from the World Bank team’s recent experience in carrying out validation workshops in the context of the FRIT I Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Syrians under Temporary Protection and Turkish Citizens in Selected Localities Project (P165687). To ensure that the feedback of beneficiaries is effectively used, the project will establish a review committee tasked with consideration of the findings of each tool and its integration in subsequent activities.\n\n(b) The grant component will engage with the target beneficiary firms, Turkish citizens, refugees and ESSN beneficiaries through the following activities: (i) **Consultations.** Meetings will be held in four project provinces during the calls for grant applications to provide an open platform for interested firms, and other stakeholders to raise questions/comments regarding the project design (for example, selection criteria for beneficiary firms, grant utilization, strictness of employment conditionalities, and impact on Turkish citizens and refugee communities).\n\n(ii) **Participatory needs assessments, post-training assessments, and satisfaction surveys** will also be conducted by the TKYB as described above, and the TKYB will use the same review committee to ensure that the findings and feedback from grant beneficiaries are adopted in subsequent years.\n\n(c) In addition, a GRM will be established and managed by the TKYB PIU as a channel for beneficiary firms and workers to register their complaints. The GRM, which will build on the lessons of the FRIT I Project, will be advertised in the TKYB’s website and will ensure that the beneficiaries receive a response within a stipulated time period.\n\n(d) The project will measure whether the subfinance, training, and employment processes meet the needs of the beneficiaries. The results will be gender disaggregated, presented, and 30 The survey will not include satisfaction with the decisions of the TKYB and PFIs related to the size, terms, and conditions of the loan that need to be market based.\n\nPage 35 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["satisfaction surveys"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) discussed by the review committee to bring about improvement in the targeting and effectiveness of project activities.\n\n92. **The project mainly addresses three specific gender gaps.** First, despite the rising levels of educational attainment among women in Turkey, high rates of low-skilled, informal, unpaid family workers prevail among women. The female labor force participation rate for people ages 15–64 is significantly lower than the OECD average in 2018 (64.6 percent for OECD; 38.3 percent for Turkey).\nSecond, the lack of skills is one of the main obstacles to low-skilled women’s participation in the labor market in Turkey. Evidence shows that training programs can be effective in boosting female employment and earnings. Job and business training programs can fill the skill gap for people who are out of the education system. Third, according to the gender analysis of the United Nations, only 15 percent of refugee women are engaged in income-generating jobs. [31] The same assessment indicated that only a small number of women (7 percent) have taken part in vocational training, and, when they do take part, the most popular areas of study are hairdressing (30 percent) and needlework (27 percent), which are closely related to traditional gender roles and provide limited opportunity for formal employment.\n\n93. **The project proposes several actions to improve gender outcomes.** First, the project will encourage and prioritize both refugee and Turkish women to participate in the labor force. Second, the project will specifically encourage adequate women’s representation at the participatory activities implemented under the project components. Also, the project will ensure that women have equal opportunities in accessing trainings to increase their skills. These actions will be measured through the following indicators: (a) number of formal jobs created for women and (b) number of women-inclusive firms receiving grants.\n\n94. **The potential environmental impacts of the project are anticipated to be predictable and**\n**expected to be temporary and/or reversible, low in magnitude. and site specific.** However, there are no\nrestrictions on sectoral basis, except the exclusion list of the World Bank and TKYB, most of the potential subprojects are expected to be in manufacturing, motor vehicle repair and maintenance, food processing, and construction, which might be associated with the generation of hazardous wastes from the use, storage, or transportation of hazardous materials. Therefore, while the high and substantial risk subprojects will be screened out, given the scale of the overall project and the potential need to handle hazardous materials and address the risk of the generation of hazardous wastes, the proposed environmental risk rating for the project is determined as Substantial.\n\n95. **Climate change is further exacerbating Turkey’s already observed vulnerabilities and**\n**environmental risks.** While the country has no detailed climate change assessments that reflect\nconditions at the municipal level, it faces the risk of climate-related impacts resulting from the interaction of climate-related hazards with the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems and their ability to adapt. The project intends to mitigate climate events by promoting national preparedness and capacity to avoid the adverse impacts of climate change identified in Turkey’s Climate Change Action Plan (2011–2023). Specifically, the project will: 31 United Nations Women and the Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants. 2018. _Needs Assessment of Syrian_ _Women and Girls under Temporary Protection Status in Turkey_ .

Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the World Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the World Bank’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of World Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures.\nComplaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond.

The overall risk of the operation is **Substantial** based on the aggregated risk ratings in the categories discussed below.\n\n98. **Macroeconomic risk is rated as Substantial.** The Turkish economy experienced instability between 2018-2019, following a period of growing macro imbalances and economic overheating in 20172018. The economy has stabilized more recently thanks to important external adjustments: a reversal in current account imbalances, declining external debt of banks, and a gradual recovery in forex reserves.\nThese have contributed to currency stability. There are a priori three possible macroeconomic risks to the project. The first is currency risk for municipalities. Though the Lira has been more stable recently, uncertainty in global markets, including from the recent Coronavirus outbreak pose risks for all emerging markets. Some of the risk could be offset by trade diversion from China that benefits Turkey. The second relates to the authorities’ fiscal consolidation path, which assumes a sharp decrease in capital expenditure. This may or may not affect public investment plans under the project as some of this risk may be mitigated by external project financing. Thirdly, the construction sector is among the most severely hit in the current downturn – leverage and exposure to forex debt will affect construction companies’ ability to respond to an increase in specialized construction investment under the project.\n\nPage 37 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) Some of this risk may be mitigated by the availability of spare capacity in the construction sector, that may allow construction companies to respond quickly.\n\n99. **The technical design of the project is rated Substantial.** While the TKYB has implemented several projects funded by the World Bank in the past, based on a similar design, the complexities inherent in working in regions under a crisis context, the blended financing, and the monitoring and enforcement of conditionalities pose additional challenges. The new mandate of the TKYB (as defined in the amended establishment Law 7147, dated October 11, 2018) underlines the importance of providing support to reduce regional development differences and promote economic and social development in the regions affected by domestic and regional migration. The implementation of the proposed operation will be managed by the Loan Department of the TKYB, in close collaboration with other relevant TKYB departments. The TKYB has strong business relations with the potential financial intermediaries. The project relies on the TKYB’s existing organization structure, which is critical for its sustainability. To complement this structure, a governance body for the allocation of grants will be established. The monitoring and enforcement of the compliance with the conditionalities will rely on official records provided by SGK and a formal coordination agreement will be signed between the TKYB, SGK, and intermediaries. The World Bank team will closely monitor the compliance mechanisms to mitigate the risks and implement timely corrective action as needed.\n\n100. **Institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability is rated Substantial.** While the institutional capacity risk is rated Moderate the risk to sustainability is rated Substantial. The TKYB has significant experience in managing similar interventions; however, the mixed approach and the context of the targeted areas require substantial technical, financial, managerial, safeguards, and fiduciary capacity to fully carry out its mandate under the project. Reaching SMEs for the grant component would present an additional challenge, given the TKYB’s limited presence in the target areas. The enforcement of the conditionality for the grant component and the delivery of the core training program requires significant efforts. The enforcement of the PIU with experts in these areas and employing additional fulltime human resources for the implementation and monitoring of E&S issues, including stakeholder engagement and GRM, should help mitigate this risk. Regarding sustainability, training programs for employees of beneficiary firms should help in their increased marketability and the participation on core training by management and employees should contribute to increase their productivity in the long term.\n\n101. **Environmental and social risks are rated Substantial** . The structure of the project is based on providing loans and grants to SMEs and LEs for working capital and investment purposes through the TKYB and selected PFIs. While the project is expected to have positive outcomes on improving access to employment opportunities for refugees and Turkish citizens, there are contextual risks related to the inherent social risks associated with the potential competition for job opportunities among the Syrian and Turkish citizens. The project design included measures to improve social cohesion both through training activities and capacity-building activities for beneficiary firms, employees, and the TKYB staff under Component 3 in addition to the project’s SEP. Although there are no restrictions on sectoral basis, except Page 38 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["official records provided by SGK"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) the exclusion list of the World Bank [32] and the TKYB, potential subprojects are expected to be in sectors like manufacturing, motor vehicle repair and maintenance, food processing, and construction. While the high and substantial risk subprojects will be screened out, given the scale of the overall project and the potential need to handle hazardous materials and address the risk of the generation of hazardous wastes, moderate labor risks related to working in heights and confined spaces, working with hazardous wastes and chemicals, and so on, the proposed E&S risk rating for the project is determined as Substantial.\nFurthermore, because the grant operations related to a refugee context is not a usual business and new for the TKYB, additional capacity building for the TKYB and employers will be required to ensure that the grants are used in line with its objectives. Subprojects that are likely to have significant impacts on the sensitive areas (for example, nationally and internationally protected areas, cultural values, and so on) and that will require involuntary resettlement and land acquisition will not be eligible for financing. The project will support women-inclusive enterprises. Potential risks and impacts related to labor and working conditions will be managed with measures included in the project design through workplace adaptation trainings and capacity-building activities under Component 3, periodic labor audits, and in the TKYB’s ESMS and LMP. Additionally, workplace-related issues and grievances (including sexual harassment and abuse) will be handled through project’s GRM and a worker’s GRM as defined in the SEP and LMP, respectively. The TKYB will screen SME and LE recipients of loans and grants to ensure consistency with ESS2 and adherence with labor and occupational health and safety laws.\n\n102. **Other risks rated Substantial** **pertain to the** **time frame for loan and the grant approval and**\n**associated financing gap.** The signing of the Administrative Agreement between the World Bank and the\nEU for the grant is subject to finalization of an amendment to the broader EU Framework Agreement with the World Bank, which is under discussion by the parties. As such, the grant financing is reflected as a financing gap in the Project Appraisal Document, even though the EC approved grant financing for the entire program to be administered by the World Bank under the second tranche of the FRIT and authorized the team to negotiate the details for the project design with the EU. To mitigate the risk of a potential delay in finalizing the Framework Agreement amendment, thereby precluding timely signing of the Administrative Agreement, negotiations for the IBRD loan will proceed with Technical Discussions for the Grant. The Technical Discussions would involve a full discussion and agreement between TKYB and the World Bank on the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement. Conclusion of the negotiations, based on the Technical Discussions for the Grant, will be done after signing of the Administrative Agreement. Once the Administrative Agreement has been signed, a formal Grant Funding request will be processed for the project. TKYB has indicated its preference to sign the loan and grant agreements with 32 Ineligible subprojects: commercial activities involving habitats and products prohibited within the framework of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; the release of genetically modified organisms into the wild; the production, distribution, or sale of pesticides that fall under the World Health Organization’s Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard Classes 1a (extremely hazardous) and 1b (highly hazardous) or annexes A and B of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants or that are restricted by the government of Turkey, or herbicides; trawl fishing; radioactive products; hazardous waste storage, processing, and disposal; the production of equipment and materials containing chlorofluorocarbons or other substances regulated under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer; the manufacture of electrical equipment containing more than 0.005 percent polychlorinated biphenyls by weight; the manufacture of products containing asbestos; nuclear reactors and parts; processed or unprocessed tobacco and tobacco processing machinery; the significant conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats; significant damage to nonreplicable cultural property; involuntary land acquisition and any activity on land or affecting land over which the ownership, tenure, or user rights is disputed; any land-based activity that is considered dangerous because of security hazards or the presence of unexploded mines or bombs; weapons including (but not limited to), mines, guns, and ammunition; and any activity that supports drug crop production or the processing of such crops.\n\nPage 39 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) the World Bank at the same time.

Arrangements**\n\n1. The Government of Turkey, represented by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, is the Guarantor\nof the loan.\n\n2. The TKYB is the implementing entity of the project. Implementation of the loan part of the project will also involve intermediaries (such as banks, leasing companies) where the TKYB will lend to larger enterprises directly and liaise with intermediaries in lending to SMEs. The grant-funded part of the project will be assigned centrally by the TKYB through the PIU.\n\n3. A PIU will be established at the TKYB. The PIU will be responsible for coordinating implementation of the project in the TKYB and coordinating with PFIs. The PIU will also have the fiduciary responsibility for the project. The PIU will be staffed with consultants (if required) and the TKYB’s technical staff from different units will be assigned to the project. The individual consultants will have expertise in the areas of procurement, financial management, and M&E and will also provide technical support under the project and ensure compliance with World Bank requirements for procurement, reporting, auditing, and monitoring.\n\n4. The PIU will have dedicated personnel who will be assigned with in depth knowledge of the TKYB`s procedures and preferably also those of the World Bank. Under the current Geothermal Development Project, the TKYB has staff assigned for the project with satisfactory experience and skills. The experience of these staff will be leveraged for implementation of this project. In addition to the TKYB’s staff from different units, the PIU will be supported by individual consultants possessing specialized skills explained in annex 2.\n\n5. The World Bank, as the Trust Fund administrator, and IBRD lender, will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of project activities and will ensure compliance with the former`s procedures and guidelines. World Bank’s fiduciary arrangements, including its procurement and FM procedures, as well as its Environmental and Social Framework will apply. Detailed fiduciary and safeguards arrangements will be agreed with the TKYB and will be reflected in the POM.\n\n**Financial Management**\n\n6. The financial management of the project will be fully integrated into the TKYB’s system which facilitates follow-up of loans extended to the companies from the initial application to the approval and monitoring stages. The system has adequate security levels. The system will be tailored to facilitate followup on PFI basis and firm basis.\n\n7. The TKYB will sign the grant and loan agreements with the beneficiary enterprises for which it is directly extending loans or grants. Beneficiary enterprises will provide supporting documentation for expenses incurred and the TKYB will control and ensure that the expenditures incurred comply with the business plans originally submitted and with the conditions of the loan/grant agreements. They will also reconcile the reported expenditures to the supporting documentation that will be submitted by the Page 47 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) beneficiary enterprises. For the loans extended through PFIs, this responsibility will belong to the PFIs and the TKYB will supervise the whole process. These will be reflected in the PFI agreements to be made between the TKYB and PFIs and loan agreements that will be made between the PFI and the beneficiary enterprise. The loan processes and the internal controls that will be conducted by the TKYB and PFIs will be detailed in the relevant POMs that will be prepared before effectiveness.\n\n8. The TKYB has well established credit application procedures which might be minimally altered for the purposes of the current project. In the TKYB’s current procedures, companies wanting to finance their investments or working capital needs from a loan from the TKYB will apply to its Corporate Banking and Project Finance Department. The Corporate Banking and Project Finance and Financial Analysis Departments review the application and the feasibility of the proposed project, conduct the eligibility screening, and prepare a term sheet for loan proposal. Then, the Engineering Departments assess the project and the company from technical, financial, and economical perspectives. The Corporate Banking and Project Finance Department together with Loan Allocation Department will review collateral conditions. The Loan Allocation Department submits the loan proposals to the Credit Committee and the Board of Directors. Upon approval of the Board of Directors, the loan agreement is signed with the beneficiary enterprise. The contract entitles the firm to receive disbursements from its allocated loan account. The invoices are received and entered into the system by the Engineering Department, which will be responsible for the project in coordination with the Corporate Banking and Project Finance Department in coordination with the Development Finance Institutions Department. The Engineering Department, which is responsible of the verification of the receipt of the goods and services outlined in the invoice, usually prepares a progress report after visiting the project site if needed. The Loan Allocation Department reviews the financials related to the project progress in coordination with Engineering Department and executes the control mechanism, wherever deemed necessary. Procedures for the working capital loans and the documentation are like those required by investment loans. The procedures outlined earlier could be adopted for the investment loans for the projects that will be financed directly by the TKYB.\n\n9. The procedures followed for lending through PFIs will be similar to those adopted by investment loans, with the difference that the Customer Value Management and Business Development Department will be the responsible business unit as the PIU. This information will be detailed in the relevant POMs that will be prepared by effectiveness. PFIs will be selected according to selection criteria explained in annex 1, section A and the loan allocation will be approved by the Credit Committee and Board of Directors. Disbursements will be processed by the Customer Value Management and Business Development Department in coordination with other departments. PFIs will be asked a pipeline of 25 percent of first disbursement and they will be provided access to the TKYB’s online monitoring tool for submitting information about subfinances for the TKYB control and approval. The online monitoring tool will also be used for reporting purposes. The internal control requirements for PFIs will also form a part of the relevant POM for the project.\n\n10. Procedures for the working capital loans and the documents, required systems at the PFIs, and documentary flow will be detailed in the relevant POM that will be prepared by effectiveness. The internal control requirements for the PFIs will also form a part of the relevant POM.\n\n11. The TKYB will be responsible for monitoring the compliance of the firms with the grant agreement conditions. Additionally, disbursements to beneficiary enterprises will depend on the compliance of these Page 48 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) companies with the grant conditions. Accordingly, the roles and responsibilities of different departments within the TKYB will be detailed in the POM for implementation of subgrants. The acceptance of this POM by the World Bank will be an effectiveness condition for the Grant. The TKYB could hire the services of an audit company to monitor on-site compliance of the beneficiary enterprises with the grant agreement conditions and these services could be financed by Component 3 of the project.\n\n12. **Internal and external audits.** The TKYB has a department responsible for auditing its business processes. The transactions under the project will also be subject to the internal audit in compliance with the audit program of the department _**.**_ Annual project financial statements (integrating both sources of financing) for the project and the TKYB’s financial statements will be subject to an independent audit by auditors that are acceptable to the World Bank. The TKYB has been submitting audited entity and project financial statements to the World Bank as a part of its obligations under another World Bank-financed project. The TKYB’s financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards have been audited by private sector auditors in accordance with International Auditing Standards. The entity audited financial statements had unqualified (clean) audit opinions for the last three years. The TKYB additionally prepares financial statements for the projects it is implementing, and these financial statements are also audited by independent auditors.\n\n13. Under the project, the TKYB will be required to submit its audited entity financial statements prepared in accordance with Turkish Accounting Standards (which are fully compatible with International Financial Reporting Standards) and project financial statements to the World Bank within six months following the end of year. The project financial statements are required to be made publicly available in accordance with the World Bank guidelines. Table 1.1 identifies the audit reports and their due dates.\n\n**Table 1.1.

The TKYB will also receive annual audited financial statements from the PFIs. This requirement will be reflected in the agreements that will be signed between the TKYB and PFIs and will be monitored by the TKYB.\n\n15. **Reporting and monitoring.** The TKYB will prepare and submit IFRs for the project on a semiannual basis. There will be two sets of interim financial reports; one for the loan and one for the grant. The TKYB will also ensure that the reports with financial content are automatically generated from its system.\n\n16. **Disbursement arrangements** _**.**_ The project will be disbursing on the traditional disbursement techniques. Two Designated Accounts will be created for the project (one for the EU grant and one for the Page 49 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) World Bank loan). Two authorized signatories will sign the withdrawal applications. The minimum application size for payments directly from the loan account for the issuance of special commitments, as well as the Statement of Expenditure limits, will be described in the disbursement letters. Full documentation in support of Statement of Expenditures, including completion reports and certificates, will be retained by the TKYB for at least two years after the World Bank has received the audit report for the fiscal year in which the last withdrawal from the loan account was made. This information will be made available for review during supervision visits by World Bank staff and for annual audits.\nDisbursements for expenditures above the Statement of Expenditure thresholds will be made against presentation of full documentation of the expenditures.\n\n**Procurement**\n\n17. **Applicable regulations** _**.**_ The World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers dated July 2016 and revised in November 2017 and August 2018 (‘Procurement Regulations’) will apply to Components 2 and 3 of the project. A General Procurement Notice will be published on the World Bank’s external website and United Nations Development Business online immediately after the negotiations.\n\n18. **Anticorruption Guidelines.** The World Bank's ‘Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants’, dated October 15, 2006, and revised in January 2011 and as of July 1, 2016 (Anticorruption Guidelines)’ will apply to the proposed project.\n\n19. **PPSD.** The Procurement Regulations requires the borrower to develop a PPSD for the project.\nBecause the TKYB and targeted beneficiaries are considered to be in urgent need of assistance as described under Bank Policy: Investment Project Financing paragraph 12, referring to projects in situations of urgent need of assistance or capacity constraints, a simplified PPSD was prepared by the TKYB. The draft PPSD describes how procurement activities will support project operations under Components 2 and 3 for the achievement of the PDOs and deliver value for money. The PPSD is linked to the overall project implementation strategy by ensuring proper sequencing of procurement activities. It provides information on institutional arrangements for procurement, roles and responsibilities, appropriate procurement methods, procurement due diligence, and other requirements needed for carrying out procurement. The PPSD also includes a detailed description of the procurement capacity needed by the executing agencies for carrying out procurement with specific focus on managing contract implementation, governance structure, and accountability framework. In addition, the PPSD is supported with market research, and analysis assesses market-related risks and opportunities that will affect the preferred procurement approach to market strategy.\n\n20. The PPSD confirmed that the sizes of the procurements in Component 3 are generally small and their risks are also low. The goods, consulting services, and non-consulting services under this component will be procured by the TKYB PIU and the selection methods will be simple and follow streamlined procedures. A market sounding concluded that there are adequate number of suppliers operating in the national market for the envisaged procurement packages. So, the procurements under this component are located as ‘tactical acquisition’ in the supply positioning matrix. The durations of the contracts are expected to be limited with the completion of the logistical arrangements, delivery of goods, and training or visibility materials, and not multiyear. Few consultants’ contracts to support the TKYB for project management purposes most likely will be longer than a year. The market sounding concluded that the Page 50 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) potential suppliers will see the TKYB as a good customer to develop business in their respective field of expertise.\n\n21. The PPSD confirmed that commercial procurement practices of small firms, group of people, or individuals in Turkey follow the general rule that they procure the least-cost goods, works, and services consistent with acceptable quality requirements. In the case of goods, the local practice is to prepare the technical specifications and solicit quotations from the local and/or international market. In the case of medium and large works, the technical specifications are usually prepared by consultant companies and bids are collected from qualified contractors. Minor works are generally tendered on a lump-sum basis by collecting bids from a number of local contractors. In the recent years, the purchasers commonly visit shopping sites in the Internet to find the optimum price for specific goods and seek availability of after sale services from the manufacturers. When equipment and machinery are needed for expansion of the existing facilities, the purchasers usually prefer proprietary goods from a single source for the sake of standardization and minimization of the operation and maintenance cost.\n\n22. The Turkish commercial code provides a modern ‘constitution’ for private sector commercial activity and entrepreneurship, grounded in financial transparency and strengthened corporate governance, and regulates the reporting requirements for intergroup transactions among group companies. In this context, the communique on ‘minimum content for the annual activity report’ requires the group companies to report on the group transactions, which will eventually strengthen arms-length arrangements between them. The World Bank provided finance to various credit line operations in Turkey in which the end users were private sector firms or individuals. All such World Bank-financed credit line projects confirmed that the funds were used by the beneficiaries for the intended purposes in consideration with economy and efficiency. So, the procurement to be done by the beneficiaries under Component 2 of the project will be done in accordance with well-established commercial practices as stipulated in the relevant POM and confirmed by the TKYB that these practices are consistent with the World Bank’s Core Procurement Principles of value for money, economy, integrity, fit for purpose, efficiency, transparency, and fairness.\n\n23. The PPSD proposed to hire the individual experts required for the TKYB PIU in accordance with the individual consultant selection procedures as specified in the Procurement Regulations. These include, but are not limited to, a procurement specialist, a training coordinator, an M&E expert, and a financial management specialist.\n\n24. **Procurement Plan and procurement tracking.** The Procurement Regulations require the borrower to use the World Bank’s Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP), an online procurement tracking tool to prepare, clear, and update its Procurement Plans and conduct all procurement transactions. The TKYB will create the Procurement Plan through STEP before initiating any procurement activity. The PPSD and the underlying Procurement Plan will be updated at least annually or as required to reflect the actual project implementation needs. All the procurement-related complaints will be recorded in the STEP complaint module by the TKYB.\n\n25. A list of procurements performed by the beneficiaries under Component 2 will be recorded in a format agreed by the World Bank and specified in the relevant POM and these records will be uploaded into STEP by the TKYB at least annually but not later than closing date of the project. The contracts agreed by the World Bank for financing and included in the approved procurement plan are listed in table 1.2.\n\nPage 51 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766)\n\n**Table 1.2.

In such cases, if the eventual contracts are to be eligible for World Bank financing the procurement procedures, including advertising, shall be consistent with Sections I, II, and III of the Procurement Regulations which cover the World Bank’s Core Procurement Principles of economy, efficiency, transparency, fairness, fit-for purpose, value for money, and integrity _._ With this understanding, the TKYB will initiate the selection of the PIU consultants immediately after project negotiations upon publication of the General Procurement Notice in the United Nations Development Business online.\n\n27. **Procurement methods and standard procurement documents.** While comprehensive selection methods and use of the World Bank’s standard procurement documents will be applicable, due to the emergency response nature of the project, flexible, streamlined, and fit-for-purpose arrangements will also be used in the project procurements. Higher thresholds will be used for the simple selection procedures as specified in the approved Procurement plan. When approaching the national market, as agreed in the Procurement Plan, bidding documents agreed by the World Bank in Turkish language will be used. Determined thresholds and selection methods will be reviewed by the World Bank during the project supervisions and/or when the World Bank decides and will be updated as appropriate.\n\n28. **Procurement risk assessment** _**.**_ The World Bank has conducted a procurement assessment for the project, with a focus on the TKYB in terms of (a) procurement regulatory framework and management capability, (b) integrity and oversight, (c) procurement process and market readiness, and (d) procurement complexity. While the Procurement Regulations will apply in the proposed project, the assessment concludes that (a) applicable procurement policies and the regulatory system are designed broadly to meet Core Procurement Principles of value for money, economy, efficiency, effectiveness, integrity, transparency and fairness, and accountability; (b) the TKYB has a clear system of accountability with clearly defined responsibilities and delegation of authority on who has control of procurement decisions; (c) there is a clear identified target market for all procurements; and (d) the TKYB effectively manages contracts to ensure delivery according to the contract conditions. The assessment was recorded in the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System of the World Bank.\n\n29. The TKYB will undertake the overall responsibility of the project implementation and coordination through its PIU that was established under the Private Sector Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects and continued to operate under the Geothermal Development Project. The procurement capacity assessment concluded that the TKYB has adequate resources and capacity for implementing the credit line operations of the project through its current PIU.\n\n30. The TKYB PIU also developed experience in the selection of consultants in accordance with the World Bank’s procurement procedures under the Geothermal Development Project. However, some experienced staff separated from the PIU when the TKYB headquarters moved from Ankara to Istanbul in 2018. In addition, the TKYB does not have experience with the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations.\nHence, the TKYB/PIU will be supported by an external procurement specialist for the procurement of goods, non-consulting services, and consultants’ services under Component 3 of the project.\n\n31.

A post review of the procurement documents will normally be undertaken annually and/or during the World Bank’s supervision mission, or the World Bank may request to review any contracts at any time. In such cases, the PIU shall provide the World Bank the relevant documentation for its review.\n\n33.

The TKYB will not proceed with the next stage/phase of the procurement process, including with awarding a contract without satisfactory resolution of the complaint(s).\n\n35. Operational costs will not be considered under procurement implementation, which could be the incremental expenses, including office supplies, vehicles operation and maintenance cost, maintenance of equipment, communication costs, rental expenses, utilities expenses, consumables, transport and accommodation, per diem, cost for procurement advertisements, honorarium for the independent grant evaluation committee members, and salaries of locally contracted support staff.\n\n**Monitoring and Evaluation**\n\n36. **Reporting progress.** The PIU will report on progress on the PDO and intermediate indicators (including core indicators for World Bank-wide monitoring and gender-related indicators) on a semiannual and annual basis. The PIU will prepare semiannual project progress reports to be shared with the World Bank, by taking into account different reporting requirements under the grant and loan components. The TKYB is accustomed to collecting such information from PFIs and beneficiary enterprises for previous World Bank projects. A midterm and end line citizen engagement survey will be conducted by the TKYB to seek feedback from beneficiary firms on their satisfaction with the project. The PIU will discuss the survey results with PFIs and the results will inform project implementation, as appropriate. The financial performance of the TKYB will be monitored through independent auditors’ reports and separate management letters confirming adherence to prudential norms. Monitoring of core intermediate result indicators at the PFI level will enable the TKYB and the World Bank team to take action in case of a significant deviation for a specific PFI which may affect the progress toward the PDO. Though, it is not included in the Results Framework, the PIU will also report the statistics on formal employment creation in the loan beneficiary firms.\n\n**Environmental and Social**\n\n37. The grant and loan programs will be implemented by the TKYB with the support of local PFIs. The project will leverage the TKYB’s extensive experience in providing access to finance services to LEs and, through intermediaries (such as banks and leasing companies), to SMEs. As far as grants are concerned, the TKYB will manage the assignment of grants centrally through the PIU, a team of technical experts, and with the technical assistance of the World Bank.\n\n38. The TKYB will undertake the overall responsibility of the project implementation and coordination through its PIU that was established under the Private Sector Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects and continued to operate under the Geothermal Development Project.

The corporate ESMS, recently adopted by the TKYB Executive Board on January 17, 2020, found acceptable to the World Bank, will be implemented by the designated E&S focal points in the PIU. The Environmental and Social Policy, including the E&S exclusion list, will be applicable to all the TKYB operations and financial services, and the ESMS will also be applicable to subprojects which are directly financed by the TKYB. The same focal points will be responsible for carrying out the procedure on E&S risk evaluation in credit processes, risk categorization, E&S management of risks defined, and the E&S training process under the capacity-building activities.\n\n40. Similar to the E&S focal points under the PIU, PFIs will have designated staff to implement and monitor low category E&S risks of the subprojects they finance.\n\n41. The TKYB’s communication approach and grievance system will be in the responsibility of another full-time focal point designated to plan, organize, supervise, and monitor the stakeholder engagement activities that will be carried out both by the TKYB and PFIs. This focal point will oversee the implementation of the project’s SEP and the grievance mechanism established for the project. The focal point will ensure that regular progress reports prepared for subprojects financed both by the TKYB and PFIs include progress and actions carried out for engagement activities are in line with the project’s SEP and that grievances related to both internal and external stakeholders (project workers and all other stakeholders) are recorded, addressed on time, and closed and reported according to the World Bank requirements, particularly with ESS10 and ESS2.\n\n**World Bank Project Implementation Support Plan**\n\n42. The Implementation Support Plan (ISP) is tailored to the specific context and characteristics of the project, and existing capacity of the implementing agency and arrangements. The ISP will be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains fit for purpose and responsive to the project’s implementation support needs over its lifetime.\n\n43. **Project Launch Workshop** . A project launch workshop will be held soon after project approval. It will bring all project stakeholders together to ensure that the project scope, design, process and responsibilities are understood.\n\n44. **Implementation support missions** . The project would be supervised at least twice a year and the recommendations of such supervisions would be presented to the TKYB and recorded in an Aide Memoire.\nThe World Bank would be represented by a task team leader, supported by a team of experts with various skills as needed, including fiduciary (Procurement and financial management), safeguards (Social and environmental), monitoring and evaluation, and technical specialists.\n\n45. The semiannual supervision missions and short/ follow-up technical missions as needed in specific areas, will focus on the following areas: Strategic support, technical support, fiduciary support, and safeguards support.\n\nPage 59 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766)\n\n**ANNEX 2: Detailed Description of the Project**\n\n**A. Detailed Description of Implementation of Sub-loans**\n\n1. **The TKYB will be the borrower and implementing agency under the repayment guarantee of the**\n**Ministry of Treasury and Finance.** The TKYB will provide loans to LEs directly, and to SMEs through PFIs,\nthereby expanding its geographical and sectoral reach. The TKYB will provide a total of loans to LEs directly, and to SMEs through PFIs using subsidiary financing agreements. Although the IBRD loan will be provided in foreign currency, the PFIs and TKYB will be able to provide loans to beneficiary enterprises in local currency, if required, by making use of country’s well-developed currency swap market. The TKYB and PFIs will make use of the loan in accordance with the Council of Minister’s Decree Number 32, which regulates the foreign exchange lending provisions.\n\n2. **The selection of PFIs and all subsidiary financing agreements are subject to prior review and**\n**acceptance by the World Bank.** Before the final selection of PFIs, the TKYB will submit to the World Bank\nthe evaluation report, including financials of the proposed PFIs, together with a request to include the PFIs in the project. The World Bank will review and clear the TKYB’s assessment by conveying a ‘no objection’ for each PFI’s participation. The ‘no objection’ will be based on the criteria included in this section. The TKYB will send the financials of the proposed PFIs to the World Bank every year, within the first six months of each calendar year, to ensure that the selected PFIs continue to meet the required criteria until full repayment of the subfinancing. The ‘no objection’ is not required for the continued participation of the selected PFIs.\n\n3. **The TKYB will rely on its Loan Policy document approved by the Board of Directors to identify**\n**PFIs** . The Loan Policy document, which regulates all loan processes for cash and noncash loan products,\nstates that the credit risk limits are determined using a quantitative methodology for rating the banks and financial leasing companies separately and allocates credit risk limits for both groups. The methodology considers six main criteria: (a) capital adequacy, (b) asset quality, (c) liquidity, (d) profitability, (e) income and expenditure structure, and (f) loan capacity. Further, the methodology analyzes capital structure, credit risk level, operational risk level, market risk level, and market share of each financial institution. The risk limit allocations are monitored continuously and revised annually by the Loan Allocation Department according to year-end independently audited financial statements disclosed by the banks and financial leasing companies. In addition to the quantitative model, financial leasing companies must also have net profits in two of the last three years and their controlling shareholders must be banks.

The tranche will be weighted by the share of the actual new hires to the total new hires proposed in the business plan (for example, if a beneficiary firm reports that it will hire six new employees but hires three of them within first couple of months, then the firm will be awarded 50 percent of the grant amount). This grant amount will be treated as a subgrant for the firm, and the following subgrants will be awarded once the remaining employment conditions are met at every nine-month interval). The second employment conditionality check will take place nine months after the first tranche disbursement for the beneficiaries under the grant scheme. The second tranche will be disbursed only after the second conditionality check is met and will be weighted again by the proportion of new employees (on the total employment target) hired for at least nine months at the date of the second conditionality check for beneficiaries. The third employment conditionality check will happen nine months after the second tranche disbursement for the beneficiaries under the scheme.\nThe third tranche will be disbursed proportional to the number of new employees hired for at least 18 months for the scheme beneficiaries. If some of the firms fail to fulfill the employment conditions, the TKYB will provide an additional period (up to six months) for compliance. The Bank will support TKYB to develop a case management system. The next conditionality check will be conducted once the employment condition is met. If some firms cannot fulfill the conditions or leave the grant program, then the remaining resources will be used to finance new firms.\n\n21. **Monitoring compliance with the conditionalities.** Monitoring of compliance with the conditionalities will rely on official employment data from SGK. To assess the compliance of grantbeneficiary firms with the formal employment creation and retention targets specified in the business plan at the moment of application (including the consent of the employers and employees to be taken in line with the requirements of the Law on Protection of Personal Data, Law no. 6698), the PIU at the TKYB will receive regular employment and wage records for beneficiary firms from SGK at grant allocation, every six months thereafter, and periodically following requests for disbursements and claims of conditionality compliance by beneficiary firms. The PIU will also monitor the compliance of working conditions of the employees in accordance with labor law and labor and working conditions defined in ESS2 of ESF of the 36 The three tranches will be cumulative 20 percent, cumulative 60 percent, and cumulative 100 percent of the awarded grant amount.\n\nPage 70 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": ["SGK administrative data", "official employment data from SGK"], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) World Bank.

Detailed Description of the Capacity Building Component**\n\n26. **Skills building for loan beneficiary firms.** The loan beneficiary firms will be expected to participate in management capacity-building activities provided by the TKYB and financed by the loan component of the project. The coverage and scope of the training activities will be determined by the TKYB by conducting surveys of the participating firms. The training activities will be designed under a general framework and will include face-to-face and distant learning modules. At least 60 firms are expected to use loans under the project. The World Bank team expects that all the firms will participate in the training activities. The participants (around 120) will attend five days of face-to-face programs, followed by 80 hours of distant learning activities. Face-to-face programs will be held in one province (that is, Istanbul), and the travel 37 In August 2016, the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors approved the ESF, which came into effect in 2018 and progressively replaced the World Bank’s Safeguards. The ESF protects people and the environment from potential adverse impacts that could arise from World Bank-financed projects and promotes sustainable development. Within the ESF, 10 ESSs set out responsibilities for borrowers. The standards are designed to help borrowers manage project risks and impacts as well as improve E&S performance, consistent with good international practice and national and international obligations. The Environmental and Social Standard on Labor and Working Conditions (ESS2), requires that employers (a) promote safety and health at work; (b) promote the fair treatment, nondiscrimination, and equal opportunity of project workers; (c) protect project workers, with emphasis on vulnerable workers; (d) prevent the use of all forms of forced labor and child labor; (e) support the principles of freedom of association and collective bargaining of project workers in a manner consistent with national law; and (f) provide project workers with accessible means to raise workplace concerns.\n38 European Union. 2018. _Communication and Visibility in EU -Financed External Actions:_ _Requirements for Implementing Partners_ _(Projects)._ _[https://ec.europa.eu/international-partnerships/comm-visibility-requirements_en](https://ec.europa.eu/international-partnerships/comm-visibility-requirements_en)_ 39 Communication concerning the European Union's External Action and Visibility Manual Appendix EU Aid for Refugees in Turkey.\n_[visibilityguidelines_may2017_frıt_en_20170605_final_tr.docx](https://www.avrupa.info.tr/sites/default/files/2017-06/VisibilityGuidelines_May2017_FRIT_EN_20170605_Final_TR.docx)_ Page 71 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) and accommodation costs of the participants will be covered under the loan component.

The PIU will be staffed with adequate capacity to ensure that all World Bank procedures are followed during project implementation.\nA procurement specialist will be hired under part contracts funded by the loan and grant separately and will provide required services for loan and grant implementation. TYKB will assign appropriate staff for financial management, M&E and Training services for Loan implementation. A financial management specialist an M&E specialist, and a training coordinator will be hired under Grant to provide required services for grant implementation. The World Bank team will also conduct a process evaluation during the project implementation and an impact evaluation at the end of the project. The terms of references of the individual consultants will be presented in the POMs. The cost of goods, equipment, travel, and operating expenses of the PIU will be financed by the grant.

The capacity building in PFIs is necessary to guide interested firms in filling out employment plans, reviewing eligibility of applications, and assessing firms’ potential beyond their financial capacities. PFIs will commit to participating in the series of training events during project implementation (organized jointly by the TKYB and the World Bank) to improve the capacity for lending to prospective beneficiaries and borrowers. The TKYB loan officers will also benefit from these services. These activities will be financed by the loan component.\n\n31. **Capacity building for grant implementation.** Capacity-building activities will finance the services of individual consultants and/or consultancy firms to be recruited under/by the PIU, grant governance body, goods, non-consulting services (including travel), communication, outreach and visibility activities, and operational expenses to implement the grant component.\n\n32. **Project management** _**.**_ In addition to the individual consultants, that is, a financial management specialist, an M&E specialist, and a training coordinator to be hired for implementation of subgrants, a procurement specialist will be hired under part time contracts funded by the loan and grant separately.\nOne or more individual consultants will be recruited to conduct labor audits in the grant beneficiary firms under the grant component.\n\n33. **Facilitation services for the grant beneficiary firms.** This will include assisting beneficiary firms in recruiting personnel through various employability programs supported by the Government or the EU, such as İŞKUR, Red Crescent, and the Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants. Formal links between the TKYB and various employment or training institutions will be established to ensure that appropriate referrals lead to recruitment. The staff involved in the project implementation will be trained on the enforcement of the conditionality, including report drafting, the verification and validation process, the sanctions process, and data exchange with SGK. These capacities will be maintained by the PIU staff and the mechanism and learning can be used for future projects with similar objectives.\n\n34. **Conducting communications and outreach services.** The goods, services, and operational expenditures to implement a communication and outreach strategy across various geographical locations, economic sectors, and implementing institutions will be funded by the grant. Materials will be created to reach out to eligible firms (and potential workers, if needed), including information on the application process, eligibility criteria, time line, and options to get support for the preparation of applications.\nCommunications materials in a format appropriate for targeted firms and beneficiaries will be included.\n\n35. **Enhancing job creation conditions in the ecosystem in which loan and grant beneficiary firms**\n**operate.** This will be done by maximizing the links and spillovers between the loan and grant beneficiary\nfirms.

For this project, the TKYB will provide direct lending to viable LEs.\n\n5. **The TKYB’s asset size is TL 18.8 billion (0.46 percent of the banking system in terms of asset size)**\n**as of Q3 2019.** It has 315 employees and its head office recently has been moved in Istanbul. The TKYB’s\nfunding structure is 91 percent medium and long-term liabilities, mostly funding from the IFIs. While loans/total asset ratio is 78 percent, its gross nonperforming loan (NPL) ratio is below 1 percent, it operates with 2.7 percent return on assets (ROA) ratio, and capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is 22.4 as of Q3 2019. The TKYB’s net foreign exchange position is balanced. The TKYB’s sectoral loan engagements include energy and commodities (48 percent), manufacturing (12.8 percent), tourism (11 percent), leasingfactoring (9 percent), construction and real estate (0.13 percent), retail (0.05 percent), and others (19.8 percent).\n\n6. **To meet financing needs of SMEs more effectively, apex loans provided through lending**\n**intermediary financial institutions with extensive branch networks are preferred by the TKYB in recent**\n**years.** As for apex loan programs developed in line with its mission, the TKYB also identifies the needs of\nthe target market segments and matches appropriate resources borrowed from IFIs, mostly obtained with the guarantee of the Turkish Government, and channels funds through lending commercial banks and leasing companies. The main objectives for apex projects are identified as contributing to job creation and increasing the competitiveness of SMEs in Turkey.\n\n**Background on World Bank Projects with the TKYB**\n\n7. **The TKYB is the recipient of one active and three closed lines of credit from the World Bank in**\n**the last decade.** The TKYB has reached 62 percent disbursement rate as of December 2019 under the\nTurkey Geothermal Development Project (P151739), expecting full disbursement by the closing date in December 2022.

The World Bank’s enterprise surveys have been collected to understand what firms experience in\nthe private sector. It follows a global methodology and provides a wide range of business environment topics including access to finance indicators.\n\n2. To estimate the effects of access to finance constraints on firms’ employment growth, both subjective and objective measures of the investment climate (that is, access to finance) were used. The regression results are presented in tables 4.1 to 4.4 based on the models where employment growth is the dependent variable and the independent variables are those measuring access to finance constraints (such as industry, sector, firm’s ownership and firm’s age).\n\n3. The primary variable of interest is having access to finance obstacle, which is the access to finance constraint perceived by the firms as the top obstacle for business environment. If the access to finance is the top obstacle by the firms for employment growth, it will have a negative sign. The results presented in tables 4.1 and 4.2 show that the access to finance constraint has a significant negative effect on employment growth for small firms (5–49 employees) and large firms (more than 250 employees).

This section presents a summary of the existing evidence on the effectiveness of finance\ninterventions (both World Bank and non-World Bank) aimed at improving access to credit and employment generation among microenterprises and SMEs. The analysis reviewed 38 impact evaluation studies covering four main types of finance interventions: (a) lines of credit, (b) microcredit, (c) cash and in-kind grants and transfers, and (d) formalization interventions. A total of 17 studies focused on lines of credit, 7 studies focused on microcredit, 6 studies covered cash and in-kind grants, while 4 studies centered on formalization interventions. Four studies investigated ‘access to credit’ but without specifying the type of credit product.\n\n2. **Overall, improving access to finance appears to have a positive and significant impact on**\n**employment generation** . Out of 22 interventions targeted at employment generation, 20 show positive\nand statistically significant impacts, while the remaining 2 report no effects. A cross-country analysis reviewed shows that, when provided with access to credit, microenterprises and SMEs are found to experience 1 percent to 4 percent increase in employment. [45] Expanding financing helps microenterprises and SMEs expand their operations, grow in size, and also preserve existing jobs, especially in periods of economic and financial downturn. Evidence from the cases under review, however, reveals that the impact of access to credit is not homogenous, as it varies with specific firm characteristics as well as the form of finance interventions.\n\n3. **Firm size and age stand as the major demand-side constraints to access to credit** . Smaller and younger firms appear to be more in need of credit but also more financially constrained than larger and older firms. In Turkey, the probability of accessing credit is 1.8 times higher for medium than micro firms, and 2.8 times higher for large than micro firms. [46] This is consistent with the findings from China, where large firms may have a 52 percent to 65 percent higher probability of investing relative to only 19 percent to 35 percent of small firms. This suggests a positive association between size and access to credit. [47] 4. **Despite their credit needs, however, younger and smaller enterprises are also more likely to**\n**hold off from applying for loans** . Reticence seems to be associated with fear of rejection, perception of\nunfavorable collateral requirements and high interest rates; management inexperience may also account as a possible reason for failing to apply. [48] This implies that combining finance interventions with business development services or entrepreneurship training may have a greater and more positive impact on employment generation.\n\n45 Ayyagari, Juarros, Martinez Peria, and Singh. 2016. “Access to Credit and Job Growth: Firm-Level Evidence across Developing Countries.” Policy Research Working Paper 7604, World Bank, Washington, DC.\n46 Mutluer, K., and S.

[49] When\nprovided with adequate capital, ‘gazelle’ firms and young firms show a higher job growth potential than larger and older counterparts. Based on a cross-country analysis included in this review, access to credit generated a 6 percent to 24 percent increase in employment among microenterprises and SMEs compared with large firms (Ayyagari, Peria, and Singh 2016). Only one study in the United States found that large firms generate a greater number of jobs than smaller firms. In particular, a loan of US$1 million was found to generate 2.2 jobs in small firms, 3.0 jobs in medium firms, 4.0 jobs in large firms, and 5.9 jobs in the largest firms. However, the study also highlighted that start-ups created 5.3 jobs because of the loan and that large firms were the least financially constrained. Therefore, the marginal impact of credit was greater for start-ups and small firms. [50] In line with these results, evidence grants awarded to Nigeria high-growth entrepreneurs in a business plan competition generated a 23 percent increase in the probability for new winning firms of employing more than 10 workers after 18 months from grant reception and a 20.8 percent increase in the same probability for existing firms. [51] 6. **Ceteris paribus, women-owned firms appear to face more severe financial constraints than their**\n**men-owned counterparts** . They also tend to have lower incentives to find external sources of funding, as\n‘discouraged firms’ as well as denied firms are found to be more likely to be run by women rather than by men (Cole and Dietrich 2014). As a result, women-owned firms seem less likely to invest than men-owned firms. In Uganda, capital drops in the form of microloans failed to generate business profits for womenowned microenterprises, while microloans were associated with 50 percent increase in business profits for men-owned businesses. Women also tend to suffer more from limited access to credit. Credit constraints for Nigerian men-owned microenterprises and SMEs translated into a 16.4 percent to 24 percent lower output per worker, 17 percent to 23 percent lower capital per worker, and a 28 percent to 30 percent lower investment in fixed assets. However, results were much larger for women-owned firms: respectively, 64.7 percent, 60.0 percent, and 48.4 percent (Nwosu and Orji 2017). This suggests not only that women tend to be more credit constrained than men, but also that credit-constrained women face other limitations than just credit in their ability to invest in their businesses.\n\n7. **When considering specific forms of finance interventions, lines of credit targeted to SMEs show**\n**comparatively greater potential to spur employment growth** . Out of 15 studies investigating the impact\nof lines of credit, 10 had a specific employment focus. All 10 studies reported that lines of credit had positive and significant effects on employment generation. For instance, a World Bank-financed onlending program targeted at SMEs resulted in the creation of 7,000 jobs and the preservation of 35,000 jobs among beneficiary firms in Turkey. Also, compared with nonbeneficiary firms, beneficiary firms created more jobs. Employment effects persisted after three years from disbursement (World Bank 2016).\nSimilarly, in the United States, the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program generated nearly 3 million jobs and preserved roughly 7 million jobs among beneficiaries.

Importantly, such\ngrowth appears to be sustained over time, even several years upon obtaining the loan _._ In Colombia, the positive employment effects of access to a credit line were found to be increasing from the year of disbursement through the following two years (respectively, 3.7 percent, 5.5 percent, and 6.6 percent). [53] In another study in Brazil, the average increase by 24 employees among firms with access to a line of credit from the Brazilian Development Bank was sustained for six years after the disbursement of the credit. [54] Across Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, the EU MAP (Multi-Annual Program) targeted to SMEs led to a 14 percent to 18 percent increase in employment at the aggregate level, with effects sustained over the first five years after the signature date. [55] The same program was found to have positive and significant impacts also in Italy, the Benelux, and the Scandinavian countries. Particularly, it was reflected in a 16.9 percent increase in employment among beneficiary SMEs relative to nonbeneficiary SMEs. Moreover, beneficiary firms saw a 19.6 percent increase in assets, a 14.8 percent increase in sales, a 1.0 percent increase in innovation, and a 30.0 percent decrease in the probability of default. Stronger program effects were observed for smaller and younger firms. [56] Finally, a government-backed guarantee scheme in Malaysia generated an average net increase of 103 jobs across beneficiary SMEs. [57] 9. **Loans channeled through state-owned banks or financial intermediary institutions tend to**\n**include better credit conditions than loans from other institutions** . In the case of Colombia’s Bancoldex,\nloans from this institution to micro, small, and medium enterprises and LEs resulted in an improved credit structure and increased access to credit for beneficiaries, in the form of 24.4 percent and 18.2 percent increases in loan size in the year of disbursement and in the following year, respectively. [58] Positive and significant results were also observed for employment creation and other business outcomes. Specifically, beneficiaries registered a 11 percent increase in employment, a 24 percent increase in output, a 70 percent increase in investment, and a 10 percent increase in productivity. Such increases in output, investment, and productivity tended to be associated with longer-term loans (more than five years) than shorter-term loans (less than five years) and were seen to persist up to four years after disbursement. [59] 10. **While further work is needed to understand why state-owned banks may offer better credit**\n**conditions, existing evidence suggests that those loans do not simply substitute credit that private**\n**institutions would be willing to offer under similar conditions** . The second-tier design, however, implies\nthat the intermediaries take on the risk of default. As a result, they face greater incentive to screen 53 Arráiz, I., M. Meléndez, and R.

The implication is that funds can be mostly provided to sounder or higher-potential enterprises which are not necessarily the most credit constrained, rather than those firms that face higher obstacles to accessing credit and which, as mentioned above, tend to benefit the most from accessing credit in terms of higher employment growth.\n\n11. **This raises the question of whether funds may be most effective in generating a positive impact**\n**on performance if they are directed at firms that face the severest difficulties in accessing credit** .\nTargeting the most promising and higher-potential firms carries undeniable benefits. However, this strategy could be integrated with an effort to target firms that are the most credit constrained, such as young firms that lack a credit history or collateral requirements, but which are entering promising lines of business, to maximize the impact of the access to credit.\n\n12. **High-income countries provide a more mixed evidence on the effectiveness of public credit**\n**guarantee schemes in generating jobs** . In high-income countries, employment growth may benefit from\nmeasures targeted at improving relationship banking and to ease procyclicality, especially in economies where SMEs constitute the bulk of economic and productive activity. Across 11 OECD countries, neither direct government loans nor government-backed loans were found to have an impact on employment.\nRather, reinforcement of relationship banking and financial stability steps to ease procyclicality were observed to be more successful, generating a 12.8 percent to 18.2 percent increase and a 15.0 percent increase in employment, respectively. [60] Government-backed credit guarantees may be associated with greater risk-taking behavior and moral hazards by lending institutions. Nevertheless, they also seem to be associated with a larger size of loans as well as less stringent standards and lower cost of borrowing. As several studies reviewed here show that higher-value loans also tend to have greater and more positive impacts on employment generation, the success of public credit guarantee program may depend on finding the right balance between employment and financial stability goals. [61] 13. **Public credit guarantee schemes seem to have no impact on labor productivity** . In Brazil, loans from Brazilian Development Bank from micro, small, and medium enterprises and LEs were shown to have no significant impact on productivity, with the latter measured as real wages (De Negri et al. 2012). While this result may depend upon how productivity is measured, it proves consistent across the reviewed cases in both developed and developing countries. This suggests that borrowing firms employ extra capital mainly as working capital (when this is allowed by the lender’s criteria), rather than investing it in capital stock.\n\n14. **Albeit popular, microloans are found to hardly increase employment and profits** . Only three microloan programs reviewed were specifically targeted at employment generation. Two of these programs, implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina, increased the likelihood for beneficiaries of being self-employed and owning a business by 6 percent. However, effects were not observed beyond 14 months from disbursement. Moreover, the effects of microloans were heterogeneous, depending upon the characteristics of the borrowers at baseline. In particular, the impact on self-employment and business creation was mainly driven by highly educated beneficiaries, who tend to open their business in urban 60 Seo, Ji‐Yong. 2017. \"A Study of Effective Financial Support for SMEs to Improve Economic and Employment Conditions: Evidence from OECD Countries.\" _Managerial and Decision Economics_ 38 (3): 432-442.\n61 Gropp, Reint, et al. 2014. “The Impact of Public Guarantees on Bank Risk-Taking: Evidence from a Natural Experiment.” _Review_ _of Finance_ 18 (2): 457-488.\n\nPage 84 of 86", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nFormal Employment Creation Project (P171766) sectors, rather than lower-educated beneficiaries, who instead were more likely to start a business in the rural sector. [62] 15. **Conventional microloan contracts, typically including short repayment periods or no grace**\n**periods, often fail to generate growth at the extensive margins** . Often the reason behind such limitation\nis that the rigidity of conventional debt contract terms discourages capital-constrained or poor entrepreneurs from engaging in riskier but higher-return investments. By contrast, different contract structures, including grace periods and/or individual liability, may promote firm growth by allowing for a more balanced risk- and revenue-sharing between the investors and the borrowers. [63] While repayment flexibility or grace periods in the debt contract terms have been found to have positive and significant impacts on business outcomes such as profits, revenues, and business assets, their effects on employment generation is ambiguous at best. In one study in Bangladesh, repayment flexibility had no employment impacts for collateral-free loan borrowers, whereas it led to a 42 percent increase for collateral-backed microloans borrowers. However, treatment effects were associated with a larger loan size and higher schooling levels among collateral-backed clients. [64] In sum, microloans seem to have clearer impacts on stabilizing income and in securing the survival and continuation of existing businesses than on creating new employment. This implies that increased access to capital through microloans may contribute more to employment protection than employment creation.\n\n16. **Similarly, the impact on firm growth of capital alone, when provided through cash or in-kind**\n**grants, remains unclear** . While a few studies underscore positive results on profits, other studies shed\nlight on the short-term or insignificant nature of those impacts. Especially, grants appear to be more successful in enhancing firm survival, provided that they are distributed in kind and paired with other accompanying measures, such as training programs. In Sri Lanka, unconditional one-time cash or in-kind grants resulted in a 4.6 percent to 5.3 percent increase in monthly returns to capital among beneficiary microenterprises, although returns were higher for in-kind grants. [65] A follow-up study showed that combining a savings incentive program either with a wage subsidy to hire more employees or a business training program led, respectively, to a 0.23 and 0.19 increase in the number of workers only in the short term (one year). [66] In Ghana, positive impacts on monthly profits (US$21–US$31) among micro firms were associated only with in-kind grants but no effect was observed for cash grants. [67] Finally, in Northern Uganda providing unconditional, unsupervised lump-sum cash transfers to microentrepreneurs to pay for vocational training, tools, and business start-up costs produced 25 percent increase in employment 62 Augsburg, Britta, de H.

[68] 17. **Reductions in payroll taxes, costs of registration, and social security contributions, and financial**\n**incentives can boost employment growth** . Especially reduction in taxes and social security contributions\nare associated with positive, large, and statistically significant impacts on both formal employment creation and firm registration. A business regulation reform in Mexico was associated with 3.8 percent increase in firm formalization, amounting to 902 firms per municipality, and with a 2.8 percent increase in employment in eligible firms [69] Following the introduction of two employment subsidy schemes in Turkey, formal employment increased by 5 percent to 13 percent under the first scheme and by 11 percent to 15 percent under the second scheme. [70] Lastly, among Integrated System for the Payment of Taxes and Social Security Contributions of Micro and Small Enterprises (SIMPLES) beneficiaries in Brazil, the number of formal firms increased by 7.5 percent, while tax registration increased by 7.2 percent.\nFurthermore, newly registered firms showed a 57 percent increase in revenues and a 49 percent increase in profits as a result of formalization. [71] 18. **Whether the increase is caused by creation of new economic activity or registration of existing**\n**firms and workers, however, greatly depends on the macroeconomic, legal, and fiscal context of a**\n**country.** In particular, finance-based formalization interventions show lesser effectiveness under\nconditions of high unemployment, slow growth, weak legal enforcement institutions, complex business registration procedures and high labor taxes, especially for low-wage workers. Under these circumstances, employment generation is more likely to be driven by formalization of existing businesses and workers than by newly created jobs and start-ups.\n\n68 Blattman, C., N.

Country Context**\n\n1. **Ethiopia, the second most populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa, has an estimated population of 123 million,**\n**with 77 percent living in rural areas.** It has 98 ethnicities with roughly 93 languages spoken, as well as three major religious\ngroups. There are 13 regions and two federal cities, under which there are more than 1,000 _woredas_ (districts) and around 16,000 _kebeles_ (wards). There are significant opportunities and challenges arising from a rapidly rising working-age population in Ethiopia and its landlocked and strategic location of being surrounded by six countries.\n\n2. **Despite Ethiopia’s success over the past decade with economic growth and reduction of extreme poverty from**\n**55 percent in 2000 to 25 percent in 2020, the country continues to face major challenges,** including the impacts of the\nCOVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters and climate-related events, internal conflicts, food insecurity, and high inflation.\nReal gross domestic product (GDP) growth is projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to be 6.1 percent in 2023 [1], down from 9 percent in 2019. Poor and vulnerable households are facing losses in real income and challenges in food affordability. Despite this, the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) aims to continue to provide basic services to people and to continue supporting and protecting the most vulnerable populations.\n\n3. **Ethiopia has frequently experienced extreme climate events like droughts and floods, rainfall variability and**\n**increasing temperature among others,** **[2]** **which have adversely impacted livelihoods.** **[3]** In 2022, almost 12 million people\nneeded food assistance from five consecutive failed rainy seasons, and floods displaced more than half a million Ethiopians. [4] Communities, especially in climate hot spots of Afar, Somali, and Oromia regions, which are often hit by severe droughts and floods, [5] do not have access to digital connectivity and e-services, hampering the Government’s response to climate-related and other emergencies.\n\n4. **Ethiopia aims to reach lower-middle-income status by 2025 and to reduce poverty to 7 percent by 2030.** The latest 10-Year Development Plan aims to sustain growth while shifting toward a more private sector-driven economy. It also aims at fostering efficiency and competition in key growth-enabling sectors (for example, telecommunications), improving business climate, and addressing macroeconomic imbalances. The Government is also devoting a high share of its budget to pro-poor programs and investments, notably to the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) launched in 2005.\n\n5. **Gender disparities in Ethiopia, including in access to economic opportunities for women, are profound.** The 2022 Global Gender Gap report ranked Ethiopia 74 out of 146 countries and 15 in Africa. The rank drops to 112 for economic participation and opportunities and to 133 for educational attainment. [6] The 2022 Global Findex Survey [7] found 1 International Monetary Fund, 2023. Website, accessed November 14th: imf.org/en/Countries/ETH#featured 2 Drought is the most destructive climate-related natural hazard. Through 2100, there is a likely 20 percent increase in extreme high rainfall events.\nFlash floods and seasonal river floods are becoming more frequent and widespread.

[8 ] The World Bank, following consultation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), confirmed that the protection framework for refugees is adequate. Most refugees live in 24 camps across five regional states (Gambella, Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz, Afar, and Amhara). About 53 percent of refugees and asylum seekers are female, and 56 percent are children; together, women and children constitute some 80 percent of the refugee population. The unexpected arrival of additional thousands of refugees from Somali and Sudan starting in February/April 2023 have exacerbated socioeconomic challenges that had already become significant, with the UNHCR making supplementary appeals of US$41.7 million and US$19.3 million, respectively, to cover the needs of these refugees and host communities. Most refugee populations and host communities are in fragile border areas with limited services and economic potential. These communities remain vulnerable to conflict and climaterelated crises, with acute needs and limited opportunities for self-reliance.\n\n7. **As of June 2023, nearly 3.4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) were displaced across 2,750 accessible**\n**sites in Ethiopia, excluding Tigray region,** **[9]** largely resulting from the ongoing conflict in northern Ethiopia and localized\nconflicts and tensions in different parts of the country [10] . Stateless persons and persons at risk of statelessness, especially long-term refugees, also face challenges in exercising their rights and accessing services because of problems with obtaining adequate proof of identity. By implementing an accessible identification system, these challenges can be addressed by promoting inclusivity, economic empowerment, and integration for stateless populations.\n\n8. **The internal conflicts have limited economic growth and reduced access to basic services and infrastructure.** In Tigray, efforts began after the peace deal to restore basic services and rebuild infrastructure. Improving access to services and economic opportunities, including those facilitated by the Federal Government, can help ensure that peace can be maintained. Despite progress in northern Ethiopia following the cessation of hostilities agreement signed in November 2022, internal conflicts continue to be a concern in other regions such as Amhara, Gambela, and Oromia.\n\n**B. Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n9. **Foundational ID systems** **[11]** **are broadly recognized as key enablers for inclusive digitalization and development.** For people, the ability to establish and verify their identity is often a prerequisite for access to services and economic opportunities, such as social protection, healthcare, education, financial services, and employment. Proof of legal identity is also the basis for exercising rights, such as property ownership, and nationality. For governments and businesses, ID systems can serve as a platform for more effective and efficient service delivery by enabling the unique identification and verification of persons. Importantly, ID systems can promote greater inclusion by de-risking and reducing the costs of 8 UNHCR's Ethiopia Update on the Total Number of Refugees and Asylum Seekers as of August 31, 2023.\n9 In Tigray, new internal displacement data has been reported, including 1,021,798 IDPs (250,468 households) in 643 sites across six zones (excluding 20 _woredas_ /districts hard to reach due to security or environmental factors).\n10 IOM. 2023.

Common types of foundational ID systems include civil registries, national ID systems, and population registers.\n\nPage 2 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["internal displacement data"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) service delivery. It is for these reasons that, “ _by 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration_,” was included as target 16.9 in the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\n10. **Well-designed and universally accessible foundational ID systems can promote reconciliation and a sense of**\n**national unity and identity.** Qualitative research by the World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) initiative in\nCôte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, which has engaged vulnerable citizens and residents, has shown that one of the key benefits of ID systems is the sense of belonging that is attached to having an ID issued by the State that has their identity displayed on it. There is the notable case of Peru, which the Centre for Global Development (CGD) described as, “...a remarkable example of a country that established civil identification as a national priority in response to the need to re-integrate the state after a serious insurgency.” [12] ID agents in the field are often one of, if not the most, visible representation of the State in many communities, and identification can be the only universally-used service in a country. ID systems can help establish the presence of the State and show its value in the minds of the population.\n\n11. **Foundational ID systems is one of the three main building blocks of digital public infrastructure (DPI).** [13] As more transactions move online and the importance of the digital economy and digital government rapidly grows, there is also a need for digital ID systems to equip people with the ability to securely prove their identity online, without requiring physical presence and allow transactions to be done completely online. Traditional credentials, such as the paper Kebele ID currently in use in Ethiopia and birth certificates, cannot support such remote transactions.\n\n12. **Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a national-scale foundational ID system**\n**with digital capabilities.** Despite enacting the Registration of Vital Events and National Identity Card Proclamation in 2012,\nthe national identity card that it provided for has never been implemented. A paper-based ID issued by _kebeles_ (and known as the Kebele ID) is the most common proof of identity in Ethiopia, even though its primary purpose is proof of address and residence. A Kebele ID is often required to access public and private services, obtain other IDs such as driver’s licenses and passports, and formal procedures like proving land ownership. [14] The features of the Kebele ID vary by _kebele_, but they generally display handwritten demographic information and address and include a stapled photo.\n\n13. **According to the 2017 ID4D-Findex Survey, 36 percent of the population aged 18 and older lack a Kebele ID,**\n**with a significant gender gap of 46 percent of women lacking one compared to 25 percent of men, creating barriers for**\n**a large portion of people to access services and economic opportunities.** Kebele ID coverage reaches 70 percent for\nadults older than 25 and 80 percent for the highest income quintile. Obtaining a Kebele ID often requires residing in a location for a minimum period (for example, six months), which leads to exclusion of internal migrants and refugees. Being tied to residence also means that a Kebele ID cannot serve as a continuous identification throughout the life of an individual, as one may move. Most Kebele IDs display holder’s ethnicity, which is a potential source of discrimination. The lack of uniformity among the forms of Kebele ID cards and the ease of forgery add substantial identity risks for service providers. Records are often paper ledgers vulnerable to damage, tampering, unauthorized use, identity theft, and loss due to fires or natural disasters like floods.\n\n14. **The current ID landscape in Ethiopia has four main weaknesses.** First, inefficiency: the absence of identity verification capabilities for online and even for in-person service delivery adds transaction costs through manual 12 CGD. 2017. “Identification as a National Priority: The Unique Case of Peru - Working Paper 454.”\n[https://www.cgdev.org/publication/identification-national-priority-unique-case-peru.](https://www.cgdev.org/publication/identification-national-priority-unique-case-peru) 13 DPI refers to a set of foundational systems and their organizational frameworks (for example, laws and institutions) that enable core functions in today's digital age, including the ability to verify identities, to send and receive money, and to exchange data.\n14 World Bank. 2022. _Voluntary Migration in Ethiopia: In Search for Work and Better Opportunities_ .\n\nPage 3 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["2017 ID4D-Findex Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) processes. Second, exclusion: gaps in Kebele ID coverage among adults and low birth registration coverage (around 20 percent in 2022 [15] ). Third, fraud-related risks: inability to reliably verify an individual’s unique identity, particularly for use cases that require higher levels of assurance, such as cash transfers and obtaining credit. Finally, lack of interoperability: the lack of common standards for identity information and population-scale unique identification makes it difficult for public and private sector service providers to share and reuse data to improve outcomes for people.\n\n15. **Exclusion from access to IDs and services particularly affects IDPs and women who live in rural areas and migrate**\n**for marriage and domestic labor jobs, as well as refugees.** Kebele IDs are commonly associated with the ‘head of\nhousehold’ (a traditionally male role) and are mainly required for opening a financial account or getting formal employment outside the home (both of which men are more likely to do). Consequently, women are less likely to pursue getting a Kebele ID. Indeed, early results from qualitative research by ID4D reveal that although there are no legal obstacles for women to access Kebele IDs, there are symbolic and practical barriers. Moreover, not having an ID can also lead to harassment and arrest by police officers as a migrant may be considered as an illegal resident. During displacement, IDPs may seek refuge elsewhere in the country and face challenges to renew their Kebele ID. The low birth registration rate in the country (20 percent) further enhances the risk of de facto statelessness for children.\n\n16. **Though Ethiopia has an inclusive policy environment for refugees, they face similar challenges with regard to**\n**documentation in Ethiopia, which hampers their access to services and economic opportunities.** The Government has\naffirmed its commitment to supporting long-term inclusion through its 2019 Refugee Proclamation, a 10-year National Comprehensive Refugee Response Strategy, an Out of Camp Policy, 2019 Global Refugee Forum (GRF) pledges, [16] and an April 2023 Strategy Note provided to the World Bank. Through these, refugees have the right to work, access national services, and register vital events, including births and marriages, directly with national authorities. However, implementation of these policies faces challenges. During the conflict in northern Ethiopia, refugee registration was paused but now has been largely resumed. One of the main challenges is that special identification issued to refugees by the Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) and UNHCR are not widely recognized by service providers such as banks and mobile network operators, hindering their integration and access to services. The GoE’s decision to provide the same kind of identification to refugees (Fayda) [17] as it will to nationals, is a significant step for inclusion and long-term solutions.\n\n17. **The GoE has sought to resume previously paused registration of refugees with support from UNHCR and has**\n**collaborated across government to include refugees at the outset within Fayda.** In line with Government policy\ncommitments (PCs), RRS, the National ID Program (NIDP), and UNHCR signed a Data Sharing Agreement in October 2023 to “help refugees easily access basic services such as health insurance, education, banking, and driving, among other things.” NIDP concretized its commitment to include refugees in their Fayda IDs target for which the Data Sharing Agreement is a key prerequisite, and RRS participated in the preparation of this project. Concurrently, RRS and UNHCR have signed a Registration Multi-Year Joint Strategy for Refugees in Ethiopia to further facilitate the registration of refugees in the country. Political instability in the region, which remains unpredictable because of national and neighboring countries’ political instability, conflict, and humanitarian crisis, risks future refugee inflows into Ethiopian territory, and these agreements will strengthen Ethiopia’s ability to prepare for these.\n\n15 World Bank. _ET - Health SDG Program for Results (P123531) Implementation Completion Report (ICR) Review_ .\n[https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099041923195522835/pdf/P1235310c601d00940959307b7687b4eccf.pdf.](https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099041923195522835/pdf/P1235310c601d00940959307b7687b4eccf.pdf) 16 The GoE (RRS) is now fine-tuning its draft pledges for the upcoming second GRF to be held in December 2023.

[19] In 2016, kebeles introduced paper-based and manual recording of births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. In May 2021, the Immigration, Nationality and Vital Events Agency— now known as Immigration and Citizenship Services (ICS)—unveiled a Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Improvement Plan for 2022–2026. [20] Digitalization is a major component, supported by the World Bank’s Program for Results (Hybrid) for Strengthening Primary Health Care Services (P175167) project.\n\n19. **In line with the Digital Ethiopia 2025 Strategy,** **[21]** **the GoE began an initiative in 2019 to establish a foundational**\n**ID system as a complement—not a replacement—to the existing Kebele IDs.** The intention of the new ID system is to\nprovide a trusted source of identity, including for online transactions, while Kebele IDs will continue to provide proof of address and residence. In the same year, the GoE developed the Principles and Governance Structure of the National Identity Program, which emphasized inclusion for all residents (including refugees) of Ethiopia and alignment with the Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development. [22] Responsibility was transferred from the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MInT) to the Ministry of Peace in 2020 and subsequently to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in 2021, where it became NIDP. The NIDP will be transferred to a permanent ID Institution once the latter is established.\n\n20. **During March–June 2022, NIDP carried out a registration pilot, enrolling 124,233 people using open-source**\n**software that was integrated in-house.** The pilot registrations focused on workers at Addis Bole Lemi and Hawassa\nIndustry Parks, higher education students, customers of several participating banks, and PSNP beneficiaries in five _woredas_ located across two regions (Oromia and Sidama). Following an evaluation by NIDP, it was decided to proceed with the open-source software approach. By November 2023, the registration pilot had reached over 3 million individuals who had voluntarily registered in the system. NIDP is also close to signing a tripartite memorandum of understanding (MoU) with RRS and UNHCR to be able to share data for the issuance of a Fayda ID to refugees and asylum seekers.\n\n21. **Following extensive stakeholder engagement and preparatory work, the Digital ID Proclamation was**\n**promulgated in March 2023 to create legal grounds for the foundational ID system, now known as Fayda, meaning value**\n**in several local languages, and an ID Institution to implement it.** Fayda is envisioned to provide a unique ID to all nationals\nand residents from birth. It is designed to encompass these key elements: being nationwide in scope; being accessible to Ethiopian nationals and residents; providing a unique and random number (with the possibility to tokenize it for enhanced data protection); leveraging digital technologies; and maintaining the security of personal data. The ID system collects minimal data, including only four mandatory fields (full name, gender, date of Birth, and current address), while excluding sensitive information like ethnicity and religion. It also incorporates three biometric modalities (face, fingerprint, and irises) for enhanced security, with exceptions to handling procedures in case of disability. While the ID Proclamation is largely aligned with international good practices, there are some areas that need clarity and elaboration, such as the institutional and governance arrangements for the ID Institution and its relationship with a future Data Protection 18 UNICEF. 2019.

The Data Protection Proclamation approved by the Council of Ministers in October 2023 and expected to be ratified by Parliament in 2024, is critical for further mitigating personal data protection risks.\n\n22. **NIDP has identified high-impact use cases for Fayda, especially links with and between financial inclusion and**\n**social protection, to improve lives and livelihoods.** It has been engaging and establishing partnerships with various\ngovernment agencies and businesses to understand their requirements and problems, as well as to engage with other countries to learn lessons and good practices. To this end, NIDP has signed several MoUs with banks, Ethio Telecom, and Safaricom and has engaged with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Health, to collaborate on awareness raising and pilots. In the area of financial inclusion, the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) released a new directive in 2021 to strengthen know-your-customer (KYC) requirements across the financial sector to discern individual customer uniqueness for all transaction types. [23] This new requirement is overwhelming for both the banks and the people, both with and without a Kebele ID. Fayda, by providing a digitally verifiable ID, is envisioned to provide enough assurance to waive these controls, hence reducing costs, time, and risks associated with account opening and credit applications. This is particularly important as social assistance programs like the PSNP (which can be gateways for financial inclusion) are currently being digitalized with the transition to digital payments and a new management information system (MIS) to replace the current manual processes used to target and enroll beneficiaries. Fayda can also improve the integrity and transparency of this rather complex and currently paper-based safety nets delivery chain. There is also interest from the GoE to use Fayda to support microfinance for farmers and for providing ID to students ages 16 and older. This is being done to certify diplomas, community health insurance, public and private pensions, use of mobile money and microloans, and SIM card registration.\n\n23. **Fayda could also play an important role in realizing peace dividends in Ethiopia.** First, at the social level, Fayda will enable all citizens and residents to exercise their rights related to having proof of their legal identity, and it will be the first universally accessible ID system that only focuses on individual identity, without collecting information on ethnicity nor religion. Furthermore, as a national system (compared to a collection of _kebele_ systems), it can create a sense of belonging and will have a consistent look and feel, providing equal access to services for all registered persons. Second, the Fayda ID system can foster inclusion and shared prosperity by improving access to services and economic opportunities. As a digital system, Fayda will enable the Government, businesses, and civil society to harness digital technologies to make products and services more inclusive and human centered.\n\n24. **The World Bank, through ID4D, has been providing technical assistance to the GoE on ID issues since 2016, and**\n**modest financing for upstream activities through Digital Foundations Project (P171034) since 2021.** An ID4D Diagnostic\nwas completed in 2017 [24] and updated in 2019. In 2020, a legal assessment was carried out, which contributed to the Principles and Governance Structure of the National Identity Program published by the GoE. The ID4D technical assistance also contributed to the development of the Digital ID Proclamation, now adopted. In 2021, ID4D worked with NIDP to do a costing for a Fayda rollout, which came up with (a) registering adults ages 18 and older only (US$283 million or US$3.8 per registrant), (b) registering adults and children ages 14 and older only (US$308 million or US$3.5 per registrant), and (c) registering adults and children ages 5 and older only (US$334 million or US$2.8 per registrant). The World Bank has also worked with NIDP to map use cases for Fayda, including identifying complementary World Bank engagements. During 2022 pilots, ID4D conducted an exit survey and focus group discussions among PSNP beneficiaries who registered for Fayda to get insights on any shortcomings of registration processes to fine-tune registration during scale-up. A conflict analysis and end-user survey have contributed to the design and risk mitigation measures for this project.\n\n23 NBE. 2021. _Requirements for Undertaking Account Based Transactions and Ensuring of Regulatory Limits Directive No. FIS/04/2021_ .\n24 World Bank. 2016. _ID4D Country Diagnostic: Ethiopia_ . https://id4d.worldbank.org/country-action/id4d-diagnostics.\n\nPage 6 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["end-user survey"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040)\n\n**C.

A special focus will be on including and addressing host communities and refugees with adapted communication strategies, including in their own languages, and using culturally sensitive methods. The activities will consider regional contextualities, languages and cultural norms, and the need for information, education, and communication to be accessible (for example, for persons with disabilities and those with lower literacy). Funds will be used for provision of goods, consulting services, non-consulting services, training, and operating costs for (a) carrying out information, education, and communication activities and engagement with various stakeholders to raise awareness about Fayda and its use, to promote registration and usage, and to address misinformation; (b) scaling up grievance redress mechanisms (GRMs) through in-person and online help desks, and Fayda mobile app; and (c) developing information systems and processes including, digital and physical media production, workshops, events, and advertising.\n\nPage 9 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) 35. **Subcomponent 1.2 – Establishing and operationalizing the ID Institution (US$4 million IDA).** This will support the establishment of the ID Institution, as provided for in the Digital ID Proclamation, and its presence in all regions and two chartered cities to coordinate registration and ID issuance operations, use case development, communications, stakeholder engagement, and grievance redress. The local presence of the ID Institution may be co-located with Fayda centers and regional offices of ICS and/or other federal authorities. Additionally, through the WHR fund, interoperability between existing refugee registration (RRS and UNHCR) will be worked on to make refugee registration as efficient as possible in the already existing registration environment (triangle data sharing agreement RRS/UNHCR/NIDP).\n\n36. **Subcomponent 1.3 – Establishing and operationalizing the Data Protection Commission of Ethiopia (US$3**\n**million IDA).** Subject to the passage of the Personal Data Protection Proclamation, this will support the establishment of\nthe federal data protection Commission and its local presence.\n\n**Component 2 - Establishing scalable and secure Fayda ICT infrastructure (US$68 million equivalent - US$60 million**\n**IDA, US$8 million WHR)**\n\n37.

Funds will be used for supporting: (i) the design, development, and maintenance of appropriate software for Fayda and back-end operations, including upgrading and scaling up existing Fayda systems; (ii) developing a mobile ID application incorporating a consented data-sharing function and a digital wallet; (iii) supporting system integration and interoperability with other sectoral systems; iv) procuring software, licenses, and subscriptions for automated biometric identification systems; (v) software development kits for registration and authentication processes; (vi) ID card personalization and lifecycle management; (vii) the short message service; (viii) public key infrastructure for encrypting and digitally-signing data; and (ix) back-office systems such as enterprise resource planning tools, business intelligence and data analysis tools for monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and x) various collaboration tools.\n\n39. **Subcomponent 2.2 – Supporting development of data infrastructure (US$15 million IDA, US$3 million WHR).** Funds will be used for the development of data infrastructure such as ID data storage and computing capabilities for Fayda through server equipment expected to be co-located in the existing data centers, as well as business continuity through disaster recovery and backup systems, procurement of data center software, minor renovations to existing data center facilities, cloud computing subscriptions, and related licenses. The primary data center to house Fayda server equipment is expected to be in the national data center being financed by the Digital Foundations Project (P171034). The secondary data center(s) will be at existing co-location facilities to be identified by NIDP. The purchase of the energy-efficient server equipment for the existing data centers will be in accordance with internationally recognized best practices on energy 29 For instance, by using the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Verifiable Credentials standard.\n\nPage 10 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) efficiency.

NIDP will collaborate with MInT and other parties on various cybersecurity aspects that are being funded from the Digital Foundations Project (P171034) and the new regional operation Eastern Africa Regional Digital Integration Project SOP-II (P180931). Funds will be used for strengthening digital security including operational, technological, and policy capabilities for information and cybersecurity aspects of Fayda as well as the development of strategies and standard operating procedures; procurement of appropriate equipment and subscriptions for network and security operations centers; capacity building; third-party security and software code audits and associated services; and subscriptions and tools for monitoring, preventing, and responding to cyber threats.\n\n**Component 3 - Inclusive ID issuance (US$214 million equivalent - US$194 million IDA, US$20 million WHR)**\n\n41. **This component will finance the voluntary registration and issuance of physical and digital IDs to at least 90**\n**million** **[32]** **Ethiopian nationals and nonnationals** (for example, refugees, other migrants, and stateless persons) in line with\nthe strategies described in **Error! Reference source not found.** and good practices elaborated in Annex 2. The targeted registered population of 90 million is in addition to registrations that are being financed by the Government or the registration partners such as banks, estimated to reach at least 5 million people before effectiveness. The planned ID registration processes have been enhanced by pilots and proofs of concept, including for refugees, and are expected to be easy and accessible, notably to persons with disabilities and other marginalized/vulnerable groups, with information available in a variety of formats and from a range of trusted sources. To avoid exclusion, registrants will be able to present over 30 official documents, including a Kebele ID or birth certificate. Any persons without these could have their claimed identity vouched for by a trusted ‘introducer’ who is already registered in Fayda, such as a husband introducing his wife or a village chief introducing an elderly person.\n\n**Box 1. Fayda Registration and Credential Strategies**\n\nTo have accessible and scalable reach, there will be four channels for registration and ID issuance (Figure 1). Two of these channels (registration partners and super agents) will be outsourced for a fixed fee between US$0.60 and US$3.80 per registration (subject to inflation), depending on the location. [33] NIDP will supervise the implementation of these two outsourced channels through audits, spot checks, and other methods. The four channels are as follows: (a) **Registration partners.** These are government agencies and state-owned enterprises selected by NIDP based on client profile, geographic coverage, and technical and fiduciary capacity. The intention is to provide convenient registration and to leverage existing client relationships with partners, such as beneficiaries of social safety net programs and license applicants. NIDP will provide registration kits, software, and training, notably to ensure compliance with nondiscrimination principles and special measures for individuals with disabilities or vulnerability. The partners will provide facilities, staffing, and\n\n[30 For example the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency or International Telecommunication Union recommendations on green data](https://e3p.jrc.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/publications/jrc114148_best_practice_guide_2019_final.pdf)\n[centers.](https://www.itu.int/en/action/environment-and-climate-change/Documents/ITU-TRecDataCentresList.pdf) 31 Flash floods and seasonal river floods are becoming more frequent and widespread and are projected to increase alongside extreme rainfall events.\nWorld Bank, 2021, Ethiopia Climate Risk Profile.\n32 This is in addition to the estimated 5 million persons registered by NIDP at the time of project approval.\n33 Fees were calculated based on cost models by NIDP as part of project preparation, in line with the costs observed in other developing countries.\n\nPage 11 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) consumables and have the possibility of procuring kits (for example, banks). The fund flows will be elaborated in the Project Operations Manual.\n\n(b) **Super agents.** These are private companies procured through a competitive process. They will cover all geographies, including urban centers, nonurban, remote, and special zones/use cases benefiting from the private sector’s ability to scale operations. NIDP will provide registration kits, software, and training to ensure inclusion and nondiscrimination. The agents will provide facilities, staffing, and consumables and may use their own hardware that meet standards set by NIDP.\n\n(c) **Fayda Centers.** These are permanent, temporary, and mobile centers to be established and operated by NIDP, typically at regional and zonal levels, to offer registration, data update, and grievance services. For the initial mass registration, the focus will be on temporary and mobile centers for populations, such as those living in remote areas and persons with disabilities, who are unlikely to be covered by registration partners and super agents. Permanent centers will be gradually established, including through co-location with offices of ICS and other government agencies, to take over steady state responsibilities.\n\n(d) **Civil registration.** This channel involves Fayda registration at the time of birth registration for children below an age to be agreed by NIDP and ICS, facilitated by system-to-system integration.\n\n**Figure 1. Fayda Registration and ID Issuance Channels**\n\nThe IDs issued by Fayda will use credentials that will use open technologies (for example, open standard QR codes) for security and verification (including with offline capabilities) and will not display data that could cause risk of discrimination. NIDP will also consider using global and regional standards for cross-border interoperability of the credentials. The two types of credentials are as follows: (a) **Physical credentials.** Low-cost plastic or paper ID cards with basic physical security features will be issued for free in the first instance with the possibility of charging nominal fees for replacements and for these fees to be waived for vulnerable populations. These credentials will be distributed through the registration channels and partnerships with EthioPost, regional governments, and _kebeles_ .\n\n(b) **Digital credentials.** A Fayda smartphone application will be developed along with the issuance of digital credentials that can be stored in other applications and emerging standardized digital wallets. These credentials will be free for all to use.\n\n42. Kebele ID paper-based records are stored locally across the country, with no aggregated backups in a centralized repository. This makes them vulnerable to damage or loss during climate disasters or conflict. [34] Recent floods in Somali,\n\n[34 Lucas, Kitzmüller. 2020. Let’s Get Digital?

The provision of unique identifier will assist the layering of services and support packages (cash plus) on climate change vulnerable households by various partners which will better facilitate building the resilience of households from the impact of climate change.\n\n43. **Subcomponent 3.1 – Supporting mass registration and issuance of physical IDs to Ethiopian residents (US$190**\n**million IDA).** This subcomponent will support a mass registration through registration partners, super agents, and Fayda\ncenters to produce and distribute IDs to up to 90 million nationals and nonnationals, including disadvantaged groups, such as women, girls, and persons with disabilities (except for refugees and host communities, which are funded by Subcomponent 3.2). It will also support the transition to a steady state through the establishment of permanent Fayda centers. In line with the project’s commitment for inclusion, the registration strategies and processes will be designed to be universally accessible. The planned Fayda registration processes have been enhanced by pilots and are expected to be easy and accessible for Ethiopians and residents, with information available in a variety of formats and from a range of trusted sources. To avoid exclusion, the registrants will have the option to present many possible official documents, including a Kebele ID or birth certificate. Any persons without either of these or other identity documents, in the last resort, would have their claimed identity vouched for by a trusted ‘introducer.’ Funds will be used to support mass registration and issuance of physical and digital IDs to Ethiopian residents (excluding refugees and host communities) through registration partners, super agents, and Fayda centers as well as the establishment of permanent Fayda centers and registration partners. The project will promote the use of renewable energy by procuring solar-powered registration kits for the mass registration (90 million people). [37] 44. **Subcomponent 3.2 – Supporting mass registration and issuance of physical IDs to Ethiopian residents in host**\n**communities and refugees (US$20 million WHR).** This subcomponent will support NIDP, in collaboration with UNHCR and\nRRS, to prioritize registration and ID issuance, through registration partner and Fayda center channels, to host communities and refugees in regions where large populations of refugees exist, namely Gambella, Somali, BenishangulGumuz, Afar, Tigray, [38] and Amhara, as well as urban refugees in Addis Ababa. This is estimated to cover up to 1.7 million persons in host communities and up to 924,000 refugees. [39] NIDP will work closely with RRS and UNHCR to utilize existing and upcoming initiatives for issuing and renewing refugee ID cards. This involves reusing biographic and biometric data collected by RRS through the UNHCR ProGres system for Fayda registration. NIDP will also develop registration strategies for individuals who require to be ‘introduced’ by a witness in the absence of supporting documentation (for example, due to delay in issuance of refugee cards). Fayda will not substitute existing documents issued to refugees (refugee ID card, proof of registration, and so on) but will be used as a complementary form of identification.\n\n35 Floodlist 2023. Ethiopia-Flooding Continues in Several Regions, Displacing Thousands and Threatening Food Security.\nhtps://floodlist.com/africa/ethiopia-floods-may-2023 36 Governments must respond quickly to climate or other shocks and provide emergency assistance. When Pakistan was hit by floods in 2010, it used the foundational ID to facilitate emergency cash grants: beneficiaries used their cards to make a quick application at centers across the country, and their address was validated (to check whether they lived in the affected areas). Over 2.7 million people applied, but 1.1 million were deemed ineligible, saving up to US$248 million. Having such reliable systems enables a country to respond at speed and with transparency.\n37 The process will require thousands of registration kits.\n38 Numbers of refugees in Tigray require confirmation as RRS is currently in the process of re-engaging in the region following the recent conflict.\n39 The target for refugees tackles almost the whole population of registered refugees in Ethiopia as of October 2023. However, this number might change due to continuing inflows and outflows of refugees. The same is valid for the target seizure of the host community, which is until now an estimate provided by UNHCR, for _woredas_ with a great number of host communities. It should be noted that the per-person cost of registering refugees is expected to be nearly three times that of host communities, which has been considered in the costing and allocations of WHR.\n\nPage 13 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["UNHCR ProGres system"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) 45. **Subcomponent 3.3 – Supporting integration of Fayda and digital civil registration (US$4 million IDA).** This subcomponent will be carried out in coordination with the Ethiopia Program for Results (Hybrid) for Strengthening Primary Health Care Services Project (P181399), which is supporting ICS to digitalize its civil registration system. The project’s funds will be used for supporting the integration of Fayda and digital civil registration systems at federal and regional levels, including Fayda registration for children whose births have been registered by ICS, Fayda-based identity verification of parents and other notifiers of vital events, and notification of registered marriages and deaths to Fayda, all through the provision of goods, consulting services, non-consulting services, training, and operating costs for the purpose. The integration of Fayda to the civil registration system managed by ICS provides for long-run operational sustainability, ensuring a continuous data collection mechanism from birth. Furthermore, significant efforts are being made under Component 1 to enable the legal and institutional reforms necessary for long-term institutional legitimacy.\n\n**Component 4 – Improving service delivery (US$35 million equivalent - US$20 million IDA, US$15 million WHR)**\n\n46.

The initial priority sectors have been defined as social protection (registration and identity verification of safety nets beneficiaries, financial inclusion (opening of a bank account and e-KYC), education (student ID), and health (links with civil registration, health records, and insurance). The ability to verify the identity of beneficiaries combined with financial inclusion schemes are core enablers for public cash transfers responding to climate and other shocks.\n\n48. **Subcomponent 4.2 -Developing an Ethiopia Digital Stack (US$8 million IDA).** This subcomponent will support NIDP, in collaboration with other government agencies (such as NBE, EthioSwitch, and MInT) and private sector, to develop a whole-of-government data exchange platform and a set of open APIs. This will make sharing of data across the Government and with the private sector more secure and seamless, while ensuring consent of the data subject facilitated by Fayda authentication. Funds will be used for developing an Ethiopia Digital Stack including a whole-of-government data exchange platform and a set of open APIs, and development tools to facilitate the integration of Fayda payment systems, and other DPI to enable better service design and delivery and to unlock innovation across the public and private sectors.\n\n**Component 5 - Project management (US$12 million equivalent - US$10 million IDA, US$2 million WHR)**\n\n49. **This component will facilitate effective implementation of the project by supporting the establishment and**\n**functioning of the Project Management Unit (PMU)** to undertake financial management (FM), procurement, risk\nmanagement, ESF management, and reporting responsibilities, as well as act as the secretariat for the PSC and augment technical expertise in more complex activities.

Project Beneficiaries**\n\n50. **All Ethiopian nationals and residents, including refugees, are expected to benefit from the project.** The project will enhance capacity of the public and private sectors to plan, delivery, and monitor services, indirectly benefiting the whole population, such as because of more efficient and transparent public spending. The project will directly benefit at least 90 million people who will obtain secure identification, making it easier for them to prove their identity for various purposes, including exercising their rights and accessing services. These benefits will be especially accrued by the estimated 36 percent of Ethiopia’s adult population who lack a Kebele ID, as well as women who disproportionately lack a Kebele ID, and persons with disabilities. Both populations will benefit from greater agency through enhanced financial inclusion and other economic opportunities. Refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless persons will also benefit from having access to widely accepted form of identification. This includes the target of the entire refugee and host community population of around 1.7 million. Many interventions are planned in those areas where refugee and host community populations are large (Gambela and Somali), comprising over 50 percent of Ethiopia’s total refugee population.\n\n51. **The other beneficiaries are public and private service providers.** Fayda and the Ethiopia Digital Stack will enable public and private sector service providers to reduce the costs and risks of delivering services. More innovative products and services will be built by leveraging new functionalities that would allow a shift to online channels instead of depending on brick-and-mortar service delivery channels. The GoE will benefit from reduced fraud and leakages, including in social protection and subsidy programs, through the ability, for the first time, to uniquely identify and securely verify individuals.\n\n**D.

As of September 2023, the World Bank is funding or preparing to fund identification and civil registration system development in more than 45 countries. As a result, it has an excellent understanding of international good practices, standards, and emerging technologies. Complementing this, the World Bank also has a thorough understanding of Ethiopia’s identification and civil registration ecosystem and the opportunities and challenges that the project will address, based on ID4D’s partnership with the GoE that began in 2016, as well as the Program for Results (Hybrid) for Strengthening Primary Health Care Services (P175167) project. As part of the ID4D technical assistance to NIDP, the World Bank has worked closely with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, which have been providing complementary technical assistance to NIDP, as well as the United Nations Children’s Fund, which is supporting ICS to improve birth registration. The World Bank also collaborated with the _Agence Française de Développement_ (French Development Agency) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which supported the inception of Fayda. The World Bank’s broader engagement in Ethiopia will enable a strong link between this project and those implemented in other sectors, such as social protection, financial services, health care, agriculture, disaster risk management, gender, education, digital government, data governance, and digital economy.\n\n**F. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design**\n\n53. The project draws on and contextualizes lessons from the World Bank’s global experience related to identification and civil registration systems, including the following:\n\n- **Having a strong legal and regulatory framework as an enabler for success.** The identification systems must\nbe underpinned by legitimate, comprehensive, and enforceable laws and regulations that promote inclusion and trust, including ensuring data protection and privacy, accountability, and transparency in how data are managed and reducing risks of abuse such as unauthorized surveillance in violation of due process.\n\n- **Ensuring universal accessibility of registration.** A key lesson from Fayda pilots conducted by the Government\nin 2022-2023 and international experiences is to accept a wide range of documents as supporting evidence while encouraging (but not requiring) the presentation of a Kebele ID or birth certificate. Even persons without any documentation will be able to register for Fayda through a qualified 'introducer'.\n\n- **To build trust and mitigate the risk of misuse, it is important to also strengthen cybersecurity and protect**\n**people’s privacy through system design.** Some good practices include ensuring software and firewalls are\npatched and up to date, monitoring network activity and cyber threats, ensuring strong identity and access control for internal systems (including multifactor authentication), and educating staff on how they can prevent phishing and ransomware attacks. Data protection measures include limiting the collection and exposure of data—particularly sensitive personal data—and ensuring that authentication discloses only the minimum data necessary to ensure appropriate levels of identity assurance and providing people with choice, oversight, and consent over how their data are shared.\n\n- **A standards-based, technology, and vendor-neutral approach promotes financial and operational**\n**sustainability.** Vendor and technology lock-in reduce the sustainability of identification system investments\nand create high costs that are often passed on to users. To mitigate these risks, the project will minimize dependency on a single vendor and technology while ensuring extensible system design (for example, open and modular architecture and open standards and open-source software, where appropriate).\n\nPage 16 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040)\n\n- **The design of ID systems should be driven by user needs and use cases.** The design of systems should be\ndone collaboratively with people and institutional users to be responsive to their needs. Fayda benefits from broad and deep engagement with these stakeholders to understand what services they need and how.\n\n- **Ensure refugees and their host communities are given specific consideration.** Refugees often face a\ndifferential experience regarding issuance of documentation other than refugee IDs, sometimes perceiving that such identification threatens their status or entitlements as refugees. This was experienced to some level on the issuance of work permits for refugees under the World Bank-supported Ethiopia Economic Opportunities Program (P163829). Social cohesion and/or tensions within host communities must also be considered. As such, and as evidenced by other refugee inclusion operations, communications, GRM, and transparent and equitable targeting must be tailored for these specific circumstances, in coordination with stakeholders on the ground with experience with these unique communities.\n\n- **Reinforcing existing committees within refugee camps simplifies and streamlines refugee inclusion.** Refugee\ncamps and settlements are usually well organized, with representative and sectoral committees covering different aspects of life, such as livelihood and conflict management. Refugee Central Committees and Refugee Camp Development Committees are common important interlocuters. Experience from refugee host community projects demonstrate the value of working with these existing bodies to promote inclusion into project implementation arrangements, rather than creating new institutions. Through collaboration with RRS and UNHCR, the Digital ID project will work with and strengthen these existing structures to represent refugee interests in the project, though some new committees can be considered where there might be a need.\n\n**III.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\n**A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n54. **Until the ID Institution is established as the permanent home for Fayda, the PMO (specifically, NIDP) will be the**\n**implementation agency and will host the PMU.** The FM and procurement assessment of the PMO has been carried out\nby the World Bank, with results shared and action items discussed and agreed. The PMU will be staffed with core positions, such as project coordinator, procurement specialist, FM specialist, and environmental and social specialists as well as M&E experts. These positions will be funded by the Digital Foundations Project (P171034), until effectiveness.\n\n55. **The GoE is still evaluating options for the permanent home of Fayda.** It is expected that the ID Institution will be set up within two years from effectiveness date. Options being considered include (a) establishing a new GoE agency, (b) integrating Fayda as a function of an existing GoE agency, and (c) integrating different aspects of Fayda as a regulatory entity into an existing GoE agency and a business wing of a state-owned enterprise. Considerations include public trust, local presence, business model, and financial and operational sustainability. Under Subcomponent 1.1, the project will support NIDP to conduct the necessary studies and consultations to inform the GoE decision, as well as develop the foundational aspects of the ID Institution. Once the ID Institution is established, the project may need to be restructured.\n\n56. **Strategic guidance and oversight will be provided by a Project Steering Committee (PSC).** The PSC will be cochaired by the Minister of Finance and Minister of Cabinet Affairs and will comprise representatives from the Ministry of Finance (MoF), MInT, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Planning and Development, NBE, RRS, and ICS. It will be established not later than 60 days after effectiveness and will serve concurrent to project implementation, meeting as often as required but at least once a quarter. The PSC will be responsible for approving work plans, budgets, and reports to the World Bank, as well as deciding on priority use cases under Subcomponent 4.1.\n\nPage 17 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) 57. **A multi-stakeholder technical committee (TC) will be established to support the implementation of Components**\n**3 and 4.** The TC will be chaired by NIDP which will comprise the representatives from registration partners and super agents,\nas well as from the MoF, MInT, ICS, RRS, academia and civil society, and international and national ID experts.

Sustainability**\n\n59. **The project incorporates various measures to ensure institutional, operational, and financial sustainability.** It will invest in developing internal capacity of NIDP as the implementing agency, as well as development of the regulatory framework under the Digital ID Proclamation and other policies, guidelines, and standard operating procedures. There is a clear commitment for a timeline for the program office to mature into a permanent and autonomous ID institution, and the project will invest in building its capacity and sustainability. The technology deployed by the project will also adopt good practices to avoid technology and vendor lock-in and to promote extensibility and adaptability of systems.\n\n60. **Financial sustainability will be assured by ensuring constant improvements to the business model** (for example, fees and public-private partnerships) for Fayda authentication and e-KYC services that balances the need to earn some revenue to sustain operations and the need to ensure that set fees identity verification do not create a barrier for Page 18 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) adoption.

Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n61. **The project is expected to contribute to sustainable economic growth, through long-term cost savings,**\n**efficiency, and productivity gains, fueled by greater digital adoption by residents and businesses.** **[40]** Digital ID holds the\npromise of enabling economic value creation by fostering increased inclusion, increasing formalization, and promoting digitalization of services. The project activities will ease access to identification for millions of Ethiopians and residents, including women, people with disabilities, refugees, and IDPs. The ability to prove one’s identity is often a prerequisite for accessing many public and private sector services. By addressing the gap of 36 percent in ID ownership (the population lacking a current version of paper based Kebele ID, according to the 2018 ID4D-Findex Survey), the project will contribute to removing some of the most basic barriers that people face.\n\n62. **The public sector is expected to benefit from cost savings, on the back of the productivity gains.** Use of digital technologies is expected to reduce transaction costs by lowering the time spent on manual processing, allowing civil servants to focus on higher-value tasks. Numerous examples of savings from a reduction in errors, fraud, and corruption [41] are also expected to apply. A _‘build once, reuse always’_ approach will reduce the incremental costs of offering each new service, through capital investments in shared Digital Public Infrastructure such as Digital ID.\n\n63. **The project is expected to make service delivery more efficient for government agencies and businesses,**\n**including by accelerating financial inclusion, universal health insurance coverage, and will reduce identity-related fraud**\n**and leakages in public programs.** Current identity verification processes are relatively inefficient and insecure. A sample\nstudy on the digital delivery of financial entitlements as part of the PSNP found that fraud is more frequent with manual cash payments (0.23 percent) than electronic transfers (0.15 percent). [42 ] Through the introduction of automated verification mechanisms—including biometric, demographic, and SMS one-time password verification—service providers will be able to streamline the identity verification processes. In India, for example, biometric-based e-KYC contributed to increasing financial inclusion from 35 percent in 2011 to 80 percent in 2017 [43] and reduced customer onboarding costs for firms from US$23 per customer to as low as US$0.15. [44 ] This and other examples are relevant to Ethiopia, given that current validation exercises focus on using demographic rather than biometric verification and are thus prone to imposters using real information (for example, that of deceased persons). [45] 64. **The economic and financial analysis’ model to appraise the project is based on the economic impact of Fayda,**\n**following a twofold approach: savings from digitization of service delivery and revenue streams from transaction fees**\n**and add-on services made possible by Fayda.** To estimate the savings that arise from transitioning from paper-based to\ndigital-enabled service delivery, the model first estimated the savings from using Fayda versus the current Kebele IDs, for 40 World Bank. 2016. _World Development Report: Digital Dividends_ .\n41 World Bank. 2018. _Public Sector Savings and Revenue from Identification Systems: Opportunities and Constraints_ .\n42 World Bank. 2017. _Advancing Electronic Food Security Payments in Ethiopia_ .\n43 World Bank. 2018. _Findex Survey_ .\n44 World Bank. 2018. _Private Sector Economic Impacts from Identification Systems_ .\n45 World Bank. 2018. _Public Sector Savings and Revenue from Identification Systems: Opportunities and Constraints_ .\n\nPage 19 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["2018 ID4D-Findex Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) all residents, including refugees. These savings range from the reduction in administrative, transaction, and liability costs of holding personal data, to the elimination of redundancy in identification systems and gaining efficiencies. [46] The model also estimated the savings for residents and businesses, in terms of productivity, transportation time, and savings in fuel and reduction of CO2 emission due to services being digitized and thus made accessible remotely. [47] In addition to Fayda versus Kebele ID savings, the model also estimate the economic impact in sector-specific use cases (that is, financial services, social protection, health care, education, and taxation) by boosting access to finance; by providing unique identification, proof of life, or identity verification in pension plans; or by reducing ghost workers in education and health sectors, among others. A study on savings for financial institutions observed that the cost went from US$4.25 per client for in-person service to US$0.10 for online service delivery. [48] Regarding revenues, the economic analysis model estimated revenue streams from charging fees both to individuals and third parties for identity-related services. [49 ] In addition, given Ethiopia’s exchange rate distortions, the model included alternate exchange rates for sensitivity analysis. [50] These calculations were made based on an estimated 90%-10% distribution for USD and BIRR project spending respectively. The Bank and IMF continue to work closely in collaboration with the authorities on addressing Ethiopia’s exchange rate and other market distortions in an orderly and sequenced way to minimize social and poverty effects.\n\n65. **The economic and financial analysis performed for this project followed a standard Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)**\n**approach and revealed a positive net present value (NPV) of US$ 210.10 million and an internal rate of return (IRR) of**\n**19 percent in the lower bound sensitivity analysis, and an NPV of US$ 194.81 million and an IRR of 18% in the higher**\n**bound.** The twofold approach (that is, savings from digitization of service delivery and improved government efficiencies\nfor all residents, including refugees, and revenue streams from e-KYC and authentication) relied on the available secondary data from other countries and reasonable assumptions, as well as additional evidence sourced from the business cases developed by NIDP. The financial model was used to run a cash flow and financial analysis for three different scenarios (optimistic, neutral, and pessimistic), plus an additional sensitivity analysis was performed based on alternate exchange rates for lower and higher bound NPV. As a result, the overall lower bound NPV for the project in the optimistic scenario was estimated at US$386.42 million and is expected to demonstrate an IRR of 27 percent over 10 years. In the neutral scenario, the NPV is expected to be US$210.06 million, and the IRR is expected to be 19 percent. In the pessimistic scenario, the NPV is expected to be US$27.17 million, and the IRR is expected to be 9 percent. The analysis for the higher bound NPV in the optimistic scenario is estimated at US$371.13 million and is expected to demonstrate an IRR of 26 percent over 10 years. In the neutral scenario, the NPV is expected to be US$194.81 million, and the IRR is expected to be 18 percent. In the pessimistic scenario, the NPV is expected to be US$11.88 million, and the IRR is expected to be 8 percent.

These adaptation measures will reduce risks from climate hazards to an acceptable level **.** 67. **The project will contribute to gender equality and particularly women’s economic empowerment.** There is a gender coverage gap for the existing Kebele ID of 21 percent, one of the largest gender gaps for identification systems worldwide. [52 ] Women leaving their communities following their marriage and those who migrate for domestic labor jobs are particularly at risk of exclusion from the Kebele ID system as the requirements to apply for one in their new _kebele_ are usually cumbersome. Beyond systemic barriers, there is a lack of demand which exasperates the gap. Recent ID4D research on women’s ID ownership in Ethiopia found that women do not see the Kebele ID as salient to their daily lives and therefore do not pursue applying for one even if it is accessible. [53] By streamlining and, in some cases, automating the updating of information, the project will be making it easier for women to assert their associated rights and entitlements.\nThe new Fayda system can also embed use cases and value propositions that are tailored to women, to increase demand for identification. Furthermore, a digital identification system will create more opportunities for Ethiopia’s many womenowned small and medium enterprises to do business online, and more generally access employment, and enroll in maledominated education sectors such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.\n\n68. **The authentication component of a digital ID system can also increase the security of funds transfers for both in-**\n**person and remote environments, particularly as Ethiopian legislation enables and helps increase payment**\n**interoperability between financial service providers.** This is particularly important in the Ethiopian context where\nremittances were estimated in 2017 to represent over 5 percent of the country’s GDP and one-quarter of its foreign exchange earnings, which corresponds to a little over US$4 billion. [54] International transfers often serve as a vital lifeline for households and are sometimes the only means of income for many individual recipients. Unfortunately, in some corridors, 78 percent of total remittances are still sent through informal channels, which can represent a risk for individuals and undermine the ability of public authorities to implement anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism policies.\n\n**B.

Action plans were developed to mitigate identified risks.\nThe PMO will coordinate and manage all FM aspects of the project through a PMU to be established under NIDP and staffed with core positions, including FM experts. The project FM largely follows the government procedures but will address the peculiarities of this project. The project budgeting will follow the government budget procedures and will be included and proclaimed as part of the PMO budget on an annual basis. In addition, NIDP will submit the project’s annual work plan and budget (AWPB) to the World Bank for ‘no objection’.

A combination of ESF instruments defines and addresses the needs of vulnerable populations who may potentially experience more barriers in obtaining legal identity documents, such as the poor, women, people who live in remote Page 22 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) areas, the elderly, people with disabilities, residents with nonpermanent domiciles or high mobility, IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers, or stateless population, and those who are living in orphanages and detention houses.\n\n73. **Environmental risk is moderate.** According to ThinkHazard and the Climate and Disaster Risk Screening (CDRS) conducted for this operation, Ethiopia is at high climate and geophysical risk of floods (river flood, urban flood), landslide, volcano, extreme heat, and wildfire. The country is also exposed to medium risk of earthquakes and water scarcity and a low risk of cyclone. However, when considering the lifetime of the project's investments and with the risks from volcanoes and earthquakes averaging return periods of 35 years, the level of potential impact of these climate and geophysical risks to the project is Moderate. The overall environmental impact is anticipated to be minimal with no adverse risks. The project’s main risks are from the increased use of various IT equipment, namely ID registration kits, laptops, ID card printers, and servers. The anticipated introduction of authentication capability, including through mobile phones, may eventually lead to increased mobile phone ownership by the population. Studies estimate that the lifespan for the IT equipment may range from 4 to 5 years. Therefore, the project may result in an increase of e-waste in the long run which could have various environmental health and safety risks and community health and safety concerns if not properly managed. An e-waste management plan will be prepared as part of the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), which includes recycling and up-cycling of the electronic components for reuse. Given the limited capacity in ewaste management and lack of ESF experience of the PMU and other implementing entities, the environmental risk of the project is rated as Moderate.\n\n74. **The social risk is rated Substantial.** The project will be implemented nationwide including in the conflict-affected areas, which can result in risks to the safety of the project workers tasked with Fayda registration. Potential social risks are related to possible exclusion of marginalized groups, improper use or sharing of data, creation or reinforcement of social conflict or stakeholder perception. Given the sensitivity of identity politics, unless properly managed, it may create new or exacerbate existing historical tensions and conflicts of an ethnic or religious nature. However, since Fayda excludes the collection of information about ethnicity and religion, which could potentially be used to discriminate against an individual, this new Digital ID system is expected to positively contribute to reducing the potential risks of intensifying ethnic or religious conflicts. Other inherent risks may include the possible exclusion of vulnerable groups from services, including due to technology gaps among various layers of the population and possible biases. The issue of personal data protection has also become an important public concern in the face of high ethnic and religious-based conflicts around the world. The National ID Proclamation approved in March 2023 has specific guidance on protecting ID-related data.\nEthiopia is also making progress towards putting in place an overall data protection legislation. In October 2023, the Council of Ministers approved a draft Personal Data Protection Proclamation, with ratification by the Parliament included as one of the disbursement conditions.\n\n75. **The project may induce risks related to labor and working conditions, labor-induced issues, and community**\n**health and safety risks such as spread of communicable diseases and sexual exploitation and abuse/sexual harassment**\n**(SEA/SH) or other forms of gender-based violence.** Since infrastructure investments or civil works that require land\nacquisition are not envisaged, there are no risks around involuntary resettlement. Due to the national implementation, it is likely to affect areas where historically underserved communities reside. There will be a potential risk of social exclusion if the equitable distribution of project benefits is not applied among underserved communities in emerging regions.\nAccessible and inclusive access to services requires an identification system that can address the concerns of historically underserved and other vulnerable groups who are mostly at risk of being excluded and the most in need of the protection and benefits that identification can provide. There are potential risks that identification could be used as a tool for discrimination or to infringe on or deny individual or collective rights. Due to the digital divide, there may be potential social risks where some groups can be denied identification or associated services and rights because they lack internet Page 23 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Climate and Disaster Risk Screening"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) connectivity/devices and digital literacy/digital skills or due to technology bias. Making sure that Fayda registration and use are widely accessible and inclusive are the top priorities for the Government. The project design ensures that the entire population, including migrants, daily laborers, and the poor will have an opportunity to receive Fayda ID. The provision of accessible handling procedures and GRMs, Toll-free telephone hotline, SMS, online help desk portal\n[(www.id.et/help) and self-service function on the Fayda ID app are already being piloted by NIDP.

The scale up of these online and offline mechanisms will be essential to avoid any exclusion, both in terms of Fayda registration and access to services that require proof of identification.\n\n76. **The environmental and social risks and impacts are addressed in the ESMF, Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP),**\n**and Labor Management Procedures (LMP).** The ESMF outlines the guiding principles of environmental screening,\nassessment, review, management, and monitoring procedures for all envisaged activities. An e-waste management plan will be developed to reduce the digital sector’s carbon and environmental footprint through e-waste collection, dismantling, refurbishing, and recycling. The SEP and LMP have been developed and disclosed on NIDP’s website [55] and on the World Bank Project website on October 25, 2023, and November 16, 2023 respectively. A security risk assessment and management plan, and a SEA/SH risk assessment and management plan will be developed as part of the ESMF, finalization of which is a disbursement condition. The ESMF, once acceptable to the World Bank, will be shared with all stakeholders and disclosed nationally and on the World Bank’s external website.\n\n**V.** **GRIEVANCE REDRESS SERVICES**\n\n77. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a project supported by the World Bank may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance mechanisms or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns.\nProject affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Accountability Mechanism (AM). The AM houses the Inspection Panel, which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures, and the Dispute Resolution Service, which provides communities and borrowers with the opportunity to address complaints through dispute resolution. Complaints may be submitted to the AM at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the attention of Bank Management and after Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the\n[Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS), visit http://www.worldbank.org/GRS.

The overall risk rating for the project is Substantial.\n\n79. **Political and governance risk is Substantial.** The ongoing civil conflicts in Ethiopia could create risks of low trust in Government’s good intentions to roll out Fayda and thus low adoption and possible opposition. Key design features for Fayda, including many codified into the Digital ID Proclamation, such as special provisions related to data protection for data collected at registration and its use, as well as data minimization principles, can mitigate these risks. Unlike existing Kebele IDs, Fayda will not collect information concerning ethnicity and religion. Furthermore, there are conditions on who 55 [https://id.gov.et/policies](https://id.gov.et/policies) Page 24 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) can access the data and under what circumstances. However, the overall trust will be improved by having in place a Data Protection Proclamation, now presented to the Parliament following approval by Council of Ministers in October 2023.\nThe institutional and governance arrangements for Fayda are still shaping up, with the ID Institution and Data Protection Commission yet to be set up. To further mitigate these risks, the project will invest heavily in communications, stakeholder engagement, and GRMs. Refugee inclusion can also be a political risk in some cases, and in Ethiopia, certain regions like Gambella or regions hosting Eritrean refugees in the north might be susceptible to political risks. The project will work closely with RRS and UNHCR to ensure localized understanding of refugee and host communities’ relationships and accordingly modulate project implementation to account for the potential sensitivities.\n\n80. **Macroeconomic risk is Substantial.** Ethiopia is severely affected by the recent jump in food, fertilizer, and fuel prices. As of end of 2023, the country faces a high risk of debt distress and has been unable to secure relief from creditors or agree on an IMF program. The country faces significant balance of payment issues and reserves currently cover less than one month of imports. Shortage of foreign currency and the existence of a parallel foreign exchange market are affecting a wide range of imports, which could affect specialized items not available locally, or take an unusually long time to be delivered. To mitigate these risks, the government is advancing the publication of major requests for proposal (RFPs) in anticipation of possible delivery delays, with plans in place to go for international open bids, lower ceilings for special commitments, use direct payment methods of disbursements, allow payments in foreign currency for local suppliers, and working with MoF and the National Bank of Ethiopia to allow for project items planned to be procured under National Competitive Bids to be given a priority designation so that the local suppliers are allowed to open Letters of Credit to enable the import of goods for the project.\n\n81. **Institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability risk is Substantial.** ID4D has been providing IDrelated technical assistance since 2016. As a result, there is an advanced capacity in the GoE, including at both leadership and technical levels, and knowledge of good practices for digital ID systems. However, the MoF has recently imposed a salary ceiling for individual consultants that is well below market rates which makes it difficult to hire highly skilled and motivated consultants. The project will attempt to mitigate this risk by leveraging firm contracts, where possible. The World Bank will continue its advocacy for a change in policy by the MoF. Furthermore, establishing proper coordination may be challenging; therefore, special attention will be paid to facilitate interlinks between government agencies.\n\n82. **Fiduciary risk is Substantial.** On FM, neither the NIDP team nor the PMO has any experience in managing a World Bank-funded project. Internal audit capacity is also weak at most public bodies. Delays in the preparation of annual financial statements and internal control weaknesses are risks observed at the PMO. On procurement, capacity limitations and process delays are the main risks to effective implementation. To mitigate procurement risks, several bidding documents have already been prepared, representing a significant portion of the project budget.\n\n83. **Environment and social risk is substantial.** This is due to potential for exclusion, possible personal data breaches and misuse of data. Exclusion risks are mitigated by Fayda being accessible to all nationals and residents and inclusive Fayda registration and authentication processes that have been informed by pilots, ID4D technical assistance, and risk assessments done during project preparation. Data protection risks will be addressed by: (i) data minimization; (ii) data protection provisions in the Digital ID Proclamation; (iii) an effectiveness condition for acceptable interim data protection guidelines; (iv) ratification of the Proclamation on Personal Data Protection as a disbursement condition for integration of Fayda into services; and (v) a legal remedy for suspension if the Data Protection Commission is not established within three years of effectiveness. Also, to ensure that social risks are properly addressed through project design and implementation, the ID4D supported the end user research to understand the potential negative social impacts of Fayda, notably on vulnerable groups, and agreed with the government on a series of mitigation measures detailed in Annex 2.\n\nPage 25 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [],

The working budget will detail components, subcomponents, activities, and categories of expenditures. It will also have a quarterly breakdown to allow for proper budget monitoring. The PMU will ensure that robust budget monitoring and control mechanisms are in place.\nThe budget monitoring system will be at the transaction, system, and reporting levels. The budget control in the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) will be applied based on the Government budget code. The accounting system to be used would enable budget controls and monitoring, budget tracking, and periodic reporting. Expenditures will also be compared to the budgets regularly, explanations will be sought for significant variances, and remedial actions will be taken as appropriate. IFRs would include a variance report along with explanations of material variances.\nManagement will take midway corrective measures based on the reports and explanations.\n\n3. **Accounting and staffing arrangement for the project.** The GoE’s accounting policies (modified cash basis) and procedures will apply to the project. Separate accounts for the project will be maintained at the PMO. NIDP will develop a project specific FMM, which follows the government procedures and addresses the peculiarities of the project.\nPreparation of the FMM will be completed within three months of effectiveness. The chart of accounts of the PMO will be updated to accommodate the project. The project is expected to use an accounting system that captures project records at the component, subcomponent, and activity levels. In addition, to comply with government reporting requirements, the project will have to maintain records through IFMIS. The PMO will coordinate and manage the FM aspects of the project through a PMU to be established. It is noted that recruitment for core positions, including FM experts, is currently under way, using the funds from the ID component of the Digital Foundation Project (P171034), until this project becomes effective. The recruited FM experts will work as a team and in close collaboration with the finance and procurement unit of the PMO. Accounting staff capacities will be reviewed and increased as appropriate during implementation.\n\n4. **Internal control and internal audit arrangements.** All the applicable Government internal control policies and procedures will be applied for the project. In addition, the project’s FMM will incorporate detailed control procedures specific to the project. The internal audit unit of the PMO will include the project in its annual work program, conduct audits, prepare reports, and share them with the World Bank. The management will take the necessary action on the internal audit findings and update the World Bank on the status of implementation of the findings as part of the quarterly IFRs. Copies of project documents (PAD, PIM, Financing Agreement, and FMM) will be provided to the internal auditors for reference. FM and related training will be provided to the internal auditors to enhance their capacity.\n\n5. **Financial reporting arrangements.** Quarterly IFRs will be required for the project. The PMU will prepare the quarterly IFR and submit it to the World Bank within 45 days after the end of the quarter. The template of the IFR was Page 32 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) agreed and annexed to the Disbursement and Financial Information Letter (DFIL).

In addition, the project team will prepare the project’s annual accounts/financial statements within three months after the end of the accounting year per accounting standards acceptable to the World Bank and submit to the project’s external auditors.\n\n6. **External audit arrangements.** The PMO will ensure that the project accounts are audited annually. Annual audited financial statements and audit reports (including management letters and audited financial statements, with audit opinion) of the project will be submitted to the World Bank within six months from the end of the fiscal year using auditors acceptable to the World Bank. The auditor will be appointed within three months of effectiveness. The annual financial statements will be prepared within three months of the end of the fiscal year per standards and provided to the auditors to enable them to carry out and complete their audit on time. The audit will be carried out per the International Standards of Auditing issued by the International Federation of Accountants. The auditor will also provide a Management Letter, which will, among others, outline deficiencies or weaknesses in systems and controls and recommendations for improvement and report on compliance with key financial covenants. By the World Bank’s policies, the World Bank requires that the borrower disclose the audited financial statements in a manner acceptable to the World Bank. After formally receiving these financial statements from the PMO, the World Bank will make them available to the public in accordance with the World Bank Policy on Access to Information.\n\n_Disbursement Arrangements_ 7. **Funds flow and disbursement arrangements.** The project will follow the Government’s channel two fund flow mechanisms, where IDA funds will be made available directly to NIDP at the PMO. Funds will not flow to other beneficiary institutions. The PMO will open a DA denominated in US dollars at the NBE. This account shall be opened by the credit and grant effectiveness date. The authorized ceiling of the DA would be two quarters forecasted cash requirement based on the approved AWPB. The PMO may also open an Ethiopian birr bank account for making payments in local currency to suppliers of goods and services. NIDP at the PMO will manage the US dollar and local currency bank accounts. Details of the DA once it is opened and the signatories appointed would be communicated to the World Bank. The fund flow arrangement for the project is summarized in Figure 1.1.\n\n**Figure 1.1. Disbursement Arrangement**\n\n8. **Disbursement methods.** The project may follow one or a combination of these disbursement methods: Advance to Designated Account, Direct Payment, Reimbursement, and Special Commitment. For Advance to the Designated Account and Reimbursement methods, the project will use IFRs as report-based disbursement method. Disbursement will be made quarterly to the DA to cover cash requirements for the next six months based on a six-monthly expenditure and cash requirement forecast (prepared based on the approved AWPB) which is expected to be reported as part of the Page 33 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) quarterly IFRs.

Further replenishments will be made upon submission of the quarterly IFRs. The IFR will be used to document or settle past advances to the DA and request future resources using their respective cash forecast statement. The project’s eligible expenditures are costs incurred for activities agreed upon and included in the Financing Agreement and as included in the approved AWPB.\n\n9. The FM risks management plan will be included in the project’s Implementation Manual.\n\n_Procurement Management_ 10. **Procurement rules and procedures** will be carried out in line with the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers, dated September 2023 (amended from time to time) (Procurement Regulations); the Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants, revised as of July 1, 2016; and any other provisions stipulated in the Financing Agreement. The World Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs) shall be used for all international and national competitive procurements.\n\n11. **The Procurement Plan**, as agreed between the World Bank and the recipient, will specify the procurement methods and their applicable thresholds, as well as activities that will be subject to the World Bank review. The implementing agency will submit the PP through STEP, and it will be disclosed to the public once the PP is approved. The PP will be revised as needed to reflect the project implementation needs.\n\n12. **The PPSD** include a description of market conditions, risks, and corresponding market approaches for identified procurable items resulting in the first 18 months PP. The project will include the procurement of an automated biometric identification system for biometrics duplication; ID registration kits; and use cases in support of financial inclusion, social protection, and education as well as the development of various options for online and offline authentication.\n\n13. **Institutional arrangements.** The PMO/NIDP will be responsible for procurement implementation on behalf of the project beneficiary institutions. The decision-making process will utilize the internal institutional structure of the PMO, including the Tender Endorsing Committee. NIDP will recruit and assign two procurement specialists with experience in World Bank-financed projects and one contract management officer.\n\n14. **Procurement risk assessment has been carried out by the World Bank** in accordance with the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System. The procurement risk is high. The main risks are (a) overall fragile and conflict environment affecting stable functioning of government institutions; (b) no institutional experience in managing World Bank-financed projects, which may lead to slow procurement processing and decision-making with potential implementation delays; (c) unavailability of adequate number of procurement staff with experience in World Bankfinanced projects and possible inability to retain such staff because of low levels of salaries imposed by the MoF; (d) limited technical capacity to lead, manage, prepare, and evaluate technical aspects of information systems-related procurement activities, including possible delays in the preparation of bid documents; (e) limitations in producing proper evaluation reports backed with due diligence; (f) the national Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs) not updated with requirements for social, environmental, health, safety, and sexual exploitation risks; (g) challenges in translating project scope into discreet procurable activities because of the complexity and uniqueness of the project; and (h) poor contract management systems with potential time and cost overruns and poor-quality deliverables.\n\n15. **To mitigate the risks, the following are recommended:** (a) closely monitor planned procurements; (b) recruit two qualified procurement specialists at NIDP dedicated to this project; (c) recruit technical experts with experience in managing information system-related activities; (d) ensure goods delivery, inspection, and receipt documents are issued Page 34 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) on time and copies are uploaded in STEP at contract completion road map stage; (e) utilize Standard Evaluation Report Format for all evaluations; (f) ensure relevant staff undertake training on the World Bank’s procurement procedures; (g) use the World Bank's SPDs for national market approach procurements as appropriate; (h) pre-agree with the World Bank on unique ID registration and distribution arrangements that are fit for purpose with adequate justification; and (i) establish a contract monitoring system, hire a qualified contract management officer, and deliver monitoring reports regularly.\n\n16. **The overall procurement risk rating is High.** Once the procurement mitigation actions have been implemented, the residual risk will be Substantial.\n\n17. **STEP will be used** to prepare, clear, track, and update PPs and conduct all procurement transactions. All priorand post-review procurements will need to be uploaded to STEP. Those not uploaded in STEP will not be eligible for project financing. The STEP system will also be used for handling and closure of all procurement complaints. NIDP will assign specific staff as contract managers in STEP’s Contracts Management Module. Regardless of value, all consultancies will be prior reviewed.\n\n18. **National procurement arrangements.** The country’s procurement procedures may be used for the domestic market. When the recipient uses its own national open competitive procurement procedures as outlined in the Public Procurement and Property Administration Proclamation No. 649/2009, such arrangements will be subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.4 of the Procurement Regulations. However, since the national SBDs are not yet modified to reflect social, environmental, health, safety, and sexual exploitation requirements, the project will use the World Bank’s appropriate SPDs for national open market approach procurement activities.\n\n19. **Implementation support and World Bank reviews.** The World Bank will review contracts based on the risk and complexity of activity, which will be indicated in the PP in STEP. The prior-review contracts will be updated in the PP as necessary during implementation, based on the procurement capacity assessment. The World Bank will carry out post reviews of procurement activities to determine whether they comply with the requirements of the Legal Agreement.\n\n20. **Selection methods.** The project will utilize available selection methods and approaches in the World Bank Procurement Regulations. The selection methods and World Bank review thresholds have been determined in the PPSD and to be reflected in PPs in STEP. The thresholds will be determined based on activity risks and whether an activity will be prior reviewed or post reviewed will be reflected in STEP.\n\nPage 35 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040)\n\n**ANNEX 2: Risk Mitigation for Fayda Implementation**\n\n1. NIDP and the GoE have demonstrated a firm commitment to alignment with the Principles on Identification for\nSustainable Development, including through comprehensive stakeholder engagement and a very high level of transparency. Table 2.1 describes the potential social risks arising from Fayda and how these risks have been or will be mitigated through the Fayda system and project design.\n\n**Table 2.1. Key Social Risks and Mitigation Measures**\n\n**Social Risks** **Mitigation Measures**\n**Exclusion**\n\nSituations where the design of an ID system makes it challenging for specific groups or individuals, especially those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged, to access or use the system effectively\n\n**Personal data**\n**breaches and misuse**\n\nID systems involve the collection, storage, and processing of personal data. These data are vulnerable to theft, misuse, loss, or Today, about 40 percent of Ethiopia's population lack proof of identity and almost 100 percent lack a form of identity that offers a digital trail that enables trusted transactions and services. Project interventions significantly reduce the risks of exclusion compared to the status quo by creating a more inclusive ID system (open to all residents) and catering to the most vulnerable, including women and refugees. Specific measures include the following:\n\n- Digital ID Proclamation (March 2023) makes Fayda a legal and acceptable form of digital ID to all\nresidents of Ethiopia, and for any resident that wishes to have it, the legal responsibility of ensuring access to the ID falls on the ID institution implementing Fayda.\n\n- Large number of legal documents accepted (30+) and specific protocols are in place (that is,\nintroduction mechanism) to enable the individuals to prove their identity at registration centers, even allowing undocumented people to register through an introducer system.\n\n- Tailored enrollment strategies are planned for harder-to-reach regions and populations, including\nmobile Fayda registration centers.\n\n- Refugees and asylum seekers can access Fayda the same as nationals, including the same introducer\nprocesses for undocumented persons. Considering that Fayda only issues identification and not refugee status determination (which is done separately by RRS), this will mean less bureaucratic processes.\n\n- The registration campaign will utilize locals to ensure adequate coverage of the language and to build\ntrust with the local population.\n\n- Special protocols will be applicable for registration of people with disabilities (for example, biometric\nexemptions and accessibility of centers).\n\n- Participatory and human-centered design approaches will be used to inform the implementation and\nuse of Fayda to access services.\n\n- Processes have been enhanced by lessons from numerous pilots, such as ensuring information\navailability (including in accessible formats, multiple languages, and disseminated by trusted sources), having physically accessible facilities, and having multiple registration and ID issuance channels.\n\n- The ID laws ensure sufficient check and balance with strong complaints and grievance redress\nmechanisms.\n\nThe current, paper based Kebele IDs or civil registrations in Ethiopia do not have adequate policies and controls on how personal data are collected, stored, and used. Kebele IDs also collect a significant amount of personal data, including ethnicity. However, the limited digitization and decentralized management of these data limit the scale of risk of breaches and misuse, but the manual nature means there are limited audit controls and logs, if any. On the other hand, Fayda collects less data than existing Kebele IDs and raises standards for governing how personal data are collected, stored, and processed, as well as information and cybersecurity. Specific measures include the following: Page 36 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040)\n\n**Social Risks** **Mitigation Measures**\nmismanagement, - Minimal data collection with only five mandatory fields (full name, gender, date of birth, nationality, which can lead to and current address), including no collection of racial or ethnic origins, genetic data, political opinion, negative physical or mental health condition, religion, and other sensitive data that could lead to discrimination, consequences for and three biometrics modalities (face, fingerprint, and irises).\nindividuals.

Sharing personal data to any third parties against the provisions of the proclamation will lead to criminal liability.\n\n- The project will support the operationalization of the Personal Data Protection Proclamation once\nadopted.\n\n- The project will strengthen information and cybersecurity capacity with due emphasis given to both\nlegal and technical safeguards.\n\nAlthough they are decentralized, there is limited transparency in how existing Kebele ID systems operate, including in terms of access to data. Fayda will operate in a much more transparent manner, including by using open-source software, which provides for more accountability on the technology, stakeholder engagement, and publication of documentation. These measures will go a long way toward reducing the risks of low trust.\n\nSpecific measures include the following:\n\n- The Government will be asked to adopt the Data Protection Proclamation, in addition to the ID\nProclamation.\n\n- NIDP has developed a comprehensive communication strategy based on the findings of the pilot\nevaluation, tailored to specific demographics.\n\n- NIDP is publishing all relevant documentation, regulations, directives, MoUs, and information about\n[the systems developed on its website, which is constantly being updated at https://id.gov.et/.](https://id.gov.et/)\n\n- The website contains frequently asked questions that address the risks related to some\nmisconceptions.\n\n- NIDP organized a series of stakeholder consultations with civil society organizations, human and digital\nrights groups, and legislative and executive wings of the Government among others during 2021–23.\nThe program will be able to further expand these activities once the project is operational, notably further engaging with communities and local leaders.\n\n- Based on the registrant’s request, all logs and audit trails of the user’s personal data and their\nauthentication history can be accessed and/or deleted.

Far distances for registration can also present tangible barriers for female enrolment, particularly for women who must attend to domestic duties or revenue-generating responsibilities and forgo income to register for an ID. In addition, women from low-income households in urban and especially in rural areas often lack mobile devices, including lower-end feature phones, highlighting potential challenges with participating in ID registration that is linked to mobile devices (such as text notifications). In 2021, internet use by women as a total of the female population stood at 14 percent, compared to 20 percent for men (ITU 2021), surfacing gender gaps in online participation, therefore showing the\n\n**Subcomponents 3.1 and 3.2**\n\n- The project will also strive to ensure an inclusive\nID enrolment by leveraging the omni-channel registration strategy which includes registration options that would enable registration in locations that are convenient and safe for women.\n\n- The project will procure mobile registration kits\nthat enable registration close to home. These will be brought to places where women usually congregate to ensure convenient registration for women, including the elderly, ill, or those caring for young children.\n\n- The project will support initiatives to enhance\nboth effectiveness and efficiency. This includes efficiencies in registration that reduce wait times, including upgrades to biometric equipment that lower the attempts required for capture, the availability of female enrolment officers and private spaces for women wearing religious coverings (e.g., niqab), and availability of registration centers within a 6 km radius.\n\nPercentage of population within 6 km of a permanent, semi-permanent, or mobile registration site at least once a year Number of people registered in remote and hard to reach areas) Page 38 of 39", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["ID4D-Findex Survey"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEthiopia Digital ID for Inclusion and Services Project (P179040) lack of a need to prove identity for e-services for example.\n\n**A sizeable female refugee population is**\n**particularly at risk of lacking an ID and being**\n**denied access to essential services as a**\n**consequence.** Ethiopia hosts over 823,000\nrefugees and asylum seekers, mostly from South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea, 47 percent of whom are women and 59 percent of whom are children (UNHCR 2022).

DRDIP\nII includes several important new design features compared to the ongoing Phase I, as follows: (a) refugees are\nincluded as direct beneficiaries; (b) the geographic scope is expanded to cover all communities in the country that are\naffected by the refugee presence; (c) deeper support to help the government of Ethiopia implement its policies for\nrefugee inclusion; (d) integration of refugee concerns into local development planning; and (e) enhanced focus on\nwomen’s economic and social empowerment. Furthermore, the Government has agreed to third-party\nimplementation and third-party monitoring in areas at high risk of ongoing conflict.\n\n2. **Global forced displacement presents significant humanitarian and development challenges.** Over 84 million\n\npeople are now forcibly displaced because of conflict, persecution, and natural disasters. This includes 26.6 million\nrefugees – the highest number ever recorded – and 51 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). [1] Forced\ndisplacement remains largely concentrated in low- and middle-income countries. The HoA and the Great Lakes\nRegions in Africa host 20 percent of the world’s refugees and asylum-seekers (five million) and 25 percent of the IDPs\n(12.4 million). [2] This is an increase of two million refugees and 500,000 IDPs since DRDIP in the HoA (P152822)\ncommenced in 2016. Displacement is protracted in the HoA and is driven by natural events and human actions, with\nclimate change and environmental degradation acting as threat multipliers.\n\n3. **Displacement has emerged as a regional phenomenon in the HoA, with spillover effects in neighboring**\n\n**countries, posing major challenges for poverty reduction, stability and community resilience.** Despite its rich\nendowment in human, social and natural capital, the HoA is affected by a complex history of marginalization, pockets\nof poverty and insecurity and increasing environmental degradation. Conflict remains endemic, compounded by\ndemographic shifts because of population growth and movement of people; imbalanced service provision; increasing\ncompetition for scarce natural resources; and harsh climatic conditions, including frequent droughts and floods.\n\n4. **In line with the growing importance of regional integration goals to combat fragility, five countries (Djibouti,**\n\n**Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia) launched the Horn of Africa Initiative (HoAI) in 2019 to forge closer economic**\n**ties in the sub-region. Subsequently, Sudan also joined the HoAI.** Highlighting the importance of regional\ncooperation in resilience building, the initiative includes four pillars: (i) Regional Infrastructure Networks; (ii) Trade\nand Economic Integration; (iii) Resilience; and (iv) Human Capital. Developed with support from the African\nDevelopment Bank, the European Union (EU) and the World Bank, the HoAI agreed on priority projects and programs\nfor the region requiring financing of up to US$15 billion. Responding in part to requests at the October 2021 HoAI\nMinisterial meeting to increase support for resilience considering the heightened fragility risks faced by the region\nthat spill over national boundaries, this project supports the Resilience Pillar.\n\n\n5. **The proposed project is the second phase of an ongoing operation benefiting Ethiopia and is part of a series of**\n\n**ongoing regional projects—also covering Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda.** Designed as a series of projects (SOP), DRDIP\naddresses the regional spillover effects of conflict and forced displacement. DRDIP supports a development response\n\n\n1 _[https://www.unhcr.org/en-us/mid-year-trends.html](https://www.unhcr.org/en-us/mid-year-trends.html)_ .\n2 https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/rbehagl\n\n\nPage 7 of 80", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nDevelopment Response to Displacement Impacts Project in the Horn of Africa Phase II (P178047)\n\n\nthat helps refugee-hosting countries to overcome the negative impacts of forced displacement, while maximizing the\npositive opportunities it can also present, thus creating a refugee space contributing to a regional “public good”. The\nfirst phase of DRDIP commenced in 2016, supporting Djibouti, Ethiopia and Uganda, with Kenya joining in 2017. Both\nprojects include grants to the Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) for regional coordination and\nlearning. DRDIP II follows the World Bank’s people-centric approach for the HoA. The project will support\napproximately 2.5 million people, of whom 1.76 million are host community members and 740,000 are refugees. The\nSOP allows for other countries in the HoA to opt into the program at a later date, or for second phases and Additional\nFinancing for existing DRDIP countries, as in the case of this operation.\n\n**A. Country Context**\n\n\n6. **With a population of over 115 million people (2020), Ethiopia is the second most populous nation in Africa**\n\n**after Nigeria, and one of the most diverse** . Ethiopia’s location in the center of the HoA and close to the Middle East\ngives it high strategic importance. It is physically connected to six other countries, namely Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia,\nSouth Sudan, Sudan and – essential in terms of global trade – to Djibouti and its deep-sea port. Ethiopia hosts about\n86 ethnic groups and 90 spoken languages and is also religiously and geographically diverse. [3]\n\n\n7. **Consistent economic growth and poverty reduction have underpinned significant development progress in**\n**Ethiopia over the last two decades** . Driven by average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of more than ten percent\nannually over the last 15 years, Gross National Income per capita increased from US$140 in 2004 to an estimated\nUS$890 by 2020. Poverty reduced from 38.4 percent in 2004 to 23.5 percent in 2016. This sustained growth has,\nhowever, exacerbated inequality, with the Gini coefficient increasing from 29.8 in 2004 to 35 in 2015. The rise in\ninequality is largely due to increasing urban-rural disparity, with 88 percent of the country’s poor living in rural areas. [4]\n\n8. **Ethiopia’s development gains are being challenged by a combination of the global pandemic, natural disasters**\n**and violent conflict.** The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had severe impacts on the country’s economy. [5]\nGrowth slowed to 6.3 percent in 2020/21 and is expected to decline to 3.3 percent in 2021/22. World Bank projections\nestimate that the pandemic has caused a significant increase in the poverty headcount – particularly in urban areas –\nand has also exacerbated inequality. [6]\n\n9. **Flooding and a locust infestation over the past two years have seriously affected food security** **and livelihoods**\n**and highlighted the risks of climate change.** The number of people requiring food assistance has increased to as many\nas 13.2 million. [7] Ethiopia is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate variability and climate change due to its\nhigh dependence on rain-fed agriculture and natural resources. The country’s relatively low adaptive capacity to deal\nwith current and expected changes amplifies resource scarcity and the risk of instability.\n\n\n10. **Climate change is expected to cause severe damage to infrastructure, increase the risk of water scarcity and**\n**increase crop land exposure to drought** . This will increase demand for water, raising the potential for conflict and\n\n\n3 According to Ethiopia’s 2007 Census.\n4 World Bank Poverty and Equity Brief for Ethiopia, October 2021.\n5 As of May 11, 2022, Ethiopia had registered 470,760 COVID cases and 7,510 fatalities: _[https://covid19.who.int/region/afro/country/et](https://covid19.who.int/region/afro/country/et)_\n6 World Bank analysis suggests that the poverty headcount in the 23.5th percentile (the national poverty rate) increased by 11.2 percent\nand for the bottom 40 [th] percentile by 7.7 percent between 2018/19 and October 2020. Inequality is estimated to have increased, with\nthe Gini coefficient rising to 42 in October/November 2020.

As a result of anticipated shortages due to the war, the Food and Agriculture\nOrganization (FAO) global Food Price Index reached an historical high in March 2022. While the index dropped slightly\nin April 2022, it remains 30 percent higher than one year previously. [10] In Ethiopia the latest official data shows that\nthe price of food has increased by 43 percent over the past year. [11] Across the HoA, the impact of the price increases\nand food shortages will be felt acutely by the poor, particularly refugees, who are highly dependent on dwindling\nhumanitarian aid for livelihood and food security. [12]\n\n12. **The last five years have seen an increase in violent conflict which has carried a major human and economic cost**\n**to Ethiopia** . The most significant recent manifestation of conflict is the Northern Ethiopian Crisis, which began in Tigray\nin November 2020 and has since spilled over to the adjoining regions of Amhara and Afar. The current wave of conflict\nhas been triggered by a complex web of drivers and grievances, including political rivalries, contestation over natural\nresources, and perceptions of regional and historical inequalities. These triggers have been aggravated by unfulfilled\nemployment expectations among youth, shrinking availability of land, and the impacts of climate change. [13] Some of\nthese conflicts have long histories (for instance, between different ethnic groups over control of local resources such\nas water or pasture) and have re-emerged during the recent political transition. Political competition and rivalry\nbetween elites has intensified over this period – locally, and at the national and regional levels. These tensions have\nmanifested across both rural and urban areas and have largely been organized along ethnic lines. Conflict is affecting\nvarious parts of the country, complicating access to several refugee-hosting areas, raising risks for both humanitarian\nand development programming and affecting social cohesion in different regions. It has also forced refugees to move\nto new areas, creating a new set of humanitarian and development needs for displaced populations.\n\n13. **The conflict has triggered a humanitarian crisis, particularly in northern Ethiopia.** The United Nations estimates\n\nthat 5.2 million people in the north, or more than 75 percent of the region’s population, need humanitarian\nassistance. [14] There are now more than four million IDPs in the country, 50 percent of whom have been displaced in\nthe past six months alone. Overall, half are female and 18 percent are children.

The incidence of drought has increased and the rains in central and northern areas occurring in February to May have become\nless predictable. Projections of future change indicate increased temperatures, and as much as a 20 percent decline in spring and summer\nrainfall in southern and central regions and an increase in southwest and southeast areas.

Country Context**\n\n**1.** **Over the past decade, Jordan has faced a number of external shocks that directly affected economic**\n**growth and the economy’s ability to create enough productive jobs for its young and fast-growing population.**\nHeadwinds started with the global financial crisis in 2008 leading to a dampening of economic activity in 2009, while the accompanying policy response—including lower taxes and debt accumulation— was not enough to stimulate growth. Second, regional conflicts erupting in 2011 disrupted trade routes to key trade partners, including Turkey and the European Union (EU). For example, exports have been adversely affected by the closure of the border with Iraq in 2014. World Bank estimates show that the Syrian conflict alone has led to a 1.6 percentage point lower growth during 2010-18. [1] Moreover, Jordan experienced a large refugee influx and is currently hosting almost 1.3 million Syrians (representing almost 13 percent of the total population, of which 674,268 are registered refugees with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) [2], which has put tremendous pressure on public services, and on food security [3] . Third, the disruption of favorably priced natural gas supplies from Egypt (also in 2011), created another major shock and had a serious implication for Jordan’s energy intensive manufacturing sector, negatively impacting competitiveness [4], economic growth and public debt. [5] Fourth, the economic slowdown in Gulf countries (following depressed oil prices in 2014) led to a significant drop in external inflows. These external shocks have dampened Jordan’s growth momentum leading to persistently sluggish growth dynamics along with increased macroeconomic vulnerability.\n\n**2.** **The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant economic impact on Jordan, given the country’s small and**\n**open economy with strong linkages with the rest of the world.** Jordan’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP)\ncontracted by 1.6 percent in 2020, compared to 2.0 percent growth in 2019. The pandemic has had particularly profound impacts on key sectors for the Jordanian economy, such as the service sector, including travel and tourism. Jordan’s unemployment rate, which marginally increased from 18.3 percent to 19.1 percent between 2017 and 2019, rose significantly as a result of the pandemic shock, reaching 23.2 percent in 2020. Female unemployment, which had been declining between 2017 and 2019, from 31.2 percent to 27 percent, rose sharply to 30.7 percent in 2020. Moreover, youth unemployment (15-24 years) soared from 40.6 percent in 2019 to an unprecedented high of 46.0 percent in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had severe impacts on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which provide 52 percent of private sector employment in the country, [6] including a decline in demand, reduced supply, tightening credit conditions, and a fall in investment.\n\n**3.** **Jordan’s economy nonetheless has weathered the COVID-19 shock better than many peers.** In global\ncomparison, Jordan’s GDP contraction in 2020 remained relatively muted, in part due to the Government of Jordan 1 World Bank. 2020. _The Fallout of War: The Regional Consequences of the War in Syria_ .

(World Food Summit, 1996) 4 By 2015, although, the balance between NEPCO revenues and the generation cost has been restored but electricity cost had become the binding constraint to growth and product diversification. (Hausmann, R., et al., 2019. \"Jordan: The Elements of a Growth Strategy,\" CID Working Papers 346, Center for International Development at Harvard University.).\n5 Government of Jordan caped the tariff response to spare the bulk of the population from large tariff increases and produced an accumulated energy sector debt of about 18 percent of GDP, held by the Central Government and NEPCO (World Bank, 2018: “Jordan First Equitable Growth Job Creation Programmatic Development Policy Financing Project”).\n6 Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation (JLGC).

In 2021, real GDP grew by 2.2 percent reflecting reasonably strong bounce back. Nevertheless, despite this turn around, high unemployment rates and unresolved structural challenges remain a concern. According to the World Bank’s Jobs Diagnostic (2019) [7] the economy needs at least six percent growth to make a dent in the unemployment rate, which is three times the level experienced since 2010. Thus, the current rate of unemployment at 23.3 percent (last quarter of 2021) and of labor force participation rate (33.5 percent total, 53.8 percent for men and 13.6 percent for women), present a sizeable challenge for Jordan. Furthermore, Jordan’s foreign direct investment (FDI) flows have notably declined over the past decade, from 6.1 percent of GDP in 2010 to 1.5 percent of GDP in 2019—foregoing a potential source for productivity gains, dynamism, and external funding for the economy. [8]\n\n**4.** **Jordan’s economy is facing increased price pressures.** Even before the war in Ukraine, significant\ndisruptions to global supply chains caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have further affected trade, increasing the economic vulnerability of Jordan. Being an import-dependent small open economy, unfavorable changes in Jordan’s terms-of-trade have negatively impacted domestic price settings during 2021. This trend was further accentuated by the rise in global transportation costs. [9] Consequently, headline CPI inflation clocked in at an average 1.3 percent in 2021 - the highest rate in 3 years. However, in regional comparison, inflation in Jordan remained low. In 2021, the central government’s overall fiscal deficit (including grants) reached 5.7 percent of GDP, or 1.6 percent of GDP lower than 2020 and 0.4 percent of GDP below the budget target. Timely donor support, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program [10] (including program augmentation as well as front loading) have helped alleviate pressure from the external sector. At end 2021, the Central Bank of Jordan’s gross official foreign reserves reached US$19 billion or almost US$2 billion higher than the previous year.\n\n**5.** **The war in Ukraine has caused a major shock to global commodity markets and poses a major threat to**\n**global food security** . With Ukraine and the Russian Federation being major global producers of basic agricultural\ncommodities (wheat, maize, oilseeds), fertilizer and fuel, the war in Ukraine has introduced significant instability and uncertainty in global agricultural commodity, energy and fertilizer markets. The disruptions in production and trade caused by the war have pushed international prices in these markets to new all-time highs in recent months.\nThe most recent World Bank Food Security Update (April 7, 2022) highlighted that since January 2021 the agricultural price index is up 29 percent, the cereals price index 11 percent, and the export price index 64 percent.\nWheat prices retreated somewhat from the peak reached on March 7, 2022, but they are still nearly 36 percent higher than in early February 2022, before the war in Ukraine, and 60 percent higher since January 2021. Maize prices are about 20 percent above the early February level and 48 percent higher than in January 2021, while rice prices have continued to remain remarkably stable. Meanwhile, fertilizer prices surged in March 2022, up nearly 20 percent since January and almost 3 times higher compared to a year ago, whereas energy prices had surged 63.4 percent year on year.\n\n7 Winkler, Hernan; Gonzalez, Alvaro. 2019. “Jordan Jobs Diagnostic.” Jobs Series; No. 18.

These currently stand around US$ 9,430 (source: Bloomberg).\n10 Jordan’s fiscal adjustment remains supported by the IMF. The Third Review of the IMF EFF program was completed on December 20, 2021. This allowed IMF to disperse almost US$335 million (or cumulatively US$1.23 billion) under the program). According to the IMF, sound policies have helped maintain macroeconomic stability, while the government remains on track to narrow its fiscal deficit, and reserves remain at a comfortable level.\n\nPage 7 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEmergency Food Security Project (P178936)\n\n**6.** **Jordan’s fragility to external shocks and internal factors can exacerbate food security in the country.**\nJordan’s structural impediments in a context of needs for regional stability and response to imminent global risk factors arising from the war in Ukraine represent key challenges for immediate recovery. Jordan is positioned at the epicenter of one of the most volatile regions in the world. The government has consistently preserved its stability, drawing from its unique geopolitical positioning and socio-political resilience. The country has been highly exposed to exogenous shocks, particularly the spillovers from regional conflicts, including Syria, Iraq and the West Bank and Gaza, dependency on foreign aid and inflow of capital, and shifts in geopolitical relations, all of which have compounded the country’s existing vulnerabilities. Regional insecurity and any subsequent displacement of refugees into Jordan coupled with the pandemic pose a risk for the food security of the country and stress its food system. Although direct trade links with Ukraine and the Russian Federation are limited, a continuous and accelerated surge in commodity prices (especially those of wheat and barley) and stronger slowdown in global growth represent imminent downside risks to the economy and food security.\n\n**B. Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n**7.** **Globally and in the region, Jordan is one of the most import dependent countries for covering its**\n**national grains consumption needs.** The country is highly vulnerable to price volatility and supply disruptions in\nglobal markets for basic agricultural commodities. Jordan does not produce significant volumes of basic agricultural commodities domestically. For example, annual domestic wheat and barley production averaged 21,499 tons and 54,234 tons respectively between 2018 and 2020 compared to monthly domestic consumption levels of 90,000 tons of wheat and 80,000 tons of barley [11] . In the period 2018-2020, total annual import volumes of wheat and barley averaged 913,334 tons and 770,068 tons respectively, which amounted to an average annual import bill of US$ 227 million for wheat and US$ 177 million for barley (UN Comtrade, 2022). The Black Sea region is the principal origin for the bulk of Jordan’s grain imports (given lower freight costs compared to other origins), with the region representing 98 percent of Jordanian wheat imports and 78 percent of barley imports. Yet the supply shock caused by the war in Ukraine has changed the geopolitics and economics of grain trade where small buyers, like Jordan, are competing in a tight market with large countries and fewer suppliers, that are geographically farther from the region, and where not only price, but also grain quality play an important role in the purchasing decisions of the GOJ, further reducing market options for the country. This could further exacerbate the ability of the GOJ to secure the required grain purchases on time to meet domestic consumption levels at socially acceptable prices.\n\n**8.** **Jordan’s vulnerability to shocks in global commodity markets is further compounded by the**\n**demographic pressures facing the country** . In addition to the structural challenges of sluggish growth, growing\ndebt, high unemployment, declining FDI and trade disruptions due to regional conflicts, Jordan is confronted with growing demographic, climate and environmental pressures. Between 2000 and 2020 the Jordanian population (excluding refugees) grew at rates between 1.37 and 5.00 percent. When adding the influx of 1.3 million refugees from Syria into Jordan since the start of the civil war, Jordan’s effective population growth in 2020 amounted to 14 percent.\n\n**9.** **Moreover, climate change is significantly reducing the opportunities to respond to growing domestic**\n**consumption and improve resilience to external shocks through increased domestic production of grains** .\nClimate change poses a serious challenge to the Jordanian agriculture sector. Not only is Jordan endowed with limited natural resources (Jordan is the second most water scarce country in the world with only 97 cubic meters 11 As a result, Jordan is entirely dependent on global markets to meet domestic consumption needs for basic commodities such as cereals (95 percent overall and more than 95 percent for wheat and barley), vegetable oil (79 percent), rice (100 percent) and sugar (100 percent).\n\nPage 8 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEmergency Food Security Project (P178936) of water available per capita per year – well below the absolute water scarcity threshold of 500 cubic meters per capita per year), but those resources are increasingly vulnerable to climate-related hazards (Jordan ranks 72 out of 182 countries in the ND-GAIN index for climate vulnerability in 2019), including droughts [12], extreme temperature, storms, landslides and flash floods [13] . These changes are likely to have negative effects on crop production as they will decrease the availability of water for irrigation, diminishing the suitability of key crops and increase the vulnerability of smallholder farmers who are already extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their low-incomes, poor access to technical capacities and lack of technology to increase productivity under extreme weather conditions [14] . In the livestock sub-sector, rising drought risks reduce the carrying capacity of rangelands and increase the dependency on grains for fodder, thereby contributing to import dependency and vulnerability to external price shocks. Finally, adaptation options to reduce vulnerability along grain import supply chains and the grain import system and physical grain storage will need to be pursued to reflect increasingly hot and dry conditions, as well as heavy precipitation events.\n\n**10.** **High and volatile food prices due to shocks in global commodity markets disproportionately impact**\n**poor and vulnerable households in Jordan.** In February 2022, annual food price inflation trended at 2.7 percent\n\n- the highest rate recorded over the past 12 months. Growing inflationary pressures as a result of higher food\nprices pose a significant threat to vulnerable households. Importantly, short-term demand for wheat products, which account for the largest share in the food basket, is relatively inelastic in Jordan as in the Arab world in general (World Bank, 2012). Many Jordanian households hover around the national poverty line making poverty numbers very sensitive to even small increases in the cost of living (Figure 1). [15] Moreover, households are affected by higher food prices in different ways, with women, including female-headed households resorting to harmful coping strategies, such as reducing their own nutrition consumption to feed members of their family, or taking on risky jobs to acquire food as a result of having limited access to assets and markets, and fewer pathways out of the crisis as compared to their male counterparts (Oxfam, 2019). Furthermore, poor and near-poor households in Jordan tend to spend a larger share of their income on food. Food purchases account for over one-third of poor and near poor Jordanian household budgets and a quarter among the richest 20 percent of the population (Figure 2). Similarly, food purchases account for over one-third of refugee household budgets. Within Jordanians’ food basket basic agricultural commodities account for most of the caloric intake, in particular wheat products (28 percent), sugar (14 percent), rice (8 percent), sunflower seed oil (7 percent) and soybean oil (4 percent) (Department of Statistics of Jordan, 2022).\n\n12 In 2021, Jordan experienced one of the most severe droughts in its history.\n_13_ [Jordan - Vulnerability | Climate Change Knowledge Portal (worldbank.org)](https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country/jordan/vulnerability#:~:text=Climate%2Drelated%20hazards%20in%20Jordan,include%20periodic%20earthquakes%20and%20epidemics.)\n14 IPCC projections for the future indicate that by 2030 temperatures are projected to increase by 1–2oC and that there will be a significant\nincrease in the number of crop heat stress days throughout Jordan. Climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase\n5 (CMIP5) ensemble project a decline in future precipitation rates of 6 percent, 11.5 percent, and 19 percent by 2030, 2050, and 2070,\nrespectively (RCP 8.5). The whole country is expected to experience a decrease in precipitation. The northern region and King’s Highway\nare projected to experience the largest precipitation declines by 2030: 12.5 percent and 10.4 percent respectively. Rainfall decreases in the\nEastern and Southern desert are projected to be 9.4 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively. Jordan’s Eastern and Southern Desert regions,\nwhich are primarily rangelands, are likely to experience more warming than the Northern region and the King’s Highway, which currently\nrely mostly on rainfed and irrigated agriculture.\n15 World Bank analysis indicates that if food prices were to increase by 10 percent in Jordan (a smaller increase than in the 2007-2008 food\nprice crises), poverty would increase by an additional 1.3 percentage points and the poverty gap would rise by half a percentage point,\nwhile a 20 percent increase in food prices would increase the poverty rate from 15.7 percent to 19.4 percent (43,000 new poor families).\n\nPage 9 of 54", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["ND-GAIN index for climate vulnerability"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nEmergency Food Security Project (P178936)\n\n**Figure 1: Jordan 2017-18 household per capita consumption**\n**distribution relative to the national poverty line**\n\n**Figure 2: Share of food expenditure in total expenditure p.c. (%)**\n\nSource: 2017-18 HEIS and World Bank calculations. Source: World Bank\n\n**11.** **Existing food insecurity levels are particularly high among Jordan’s refugee population.** According to the\nmost recent mobile Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (mVAM) [16] completed by the World Food Program (WFP) in Jordan, 7 percent of Jordanian households (representing 535,559 individuals) were found to be food insecure as of February 2021 and another 51 percent of households (representing 3,843,701 individuals) were vulnerable to food insecurity, meaning that they were very likely to experience an acute decline in food access or consumption levels below minimum survival needs. WFP’s mVAM also found that food insecurity levels among Jordan’s refugee community (which are not covered by Jordan’s social security net system) are significantly higher than those registered at the level of Jordanian households. Of the more than 750,000 refugees [17] registered in Jordan (89 percent of whom came from Syria), an estimated 17 percent live in the Za’atari and Azraq refugee camps, while the remaining 83 percent are mostly in Jordan’s urban areas. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, food security has been a key concern for refugees in both camps and in host communities mainly due to the loss of income from temporary and informal labor activities. More than 80 percent of labor activities performed by non-Jordanians are estimated to take place in the informal economy versus 40 percent for Jordanian citizens (MOSD, 2019). February 2021 mVAM data showed that 23.3 percent of refugee households in host communities are food insecure (over 154,777 individuals), while another 63.7 percent of refugee households (equivalent to approximately 423,344 individuals) are vulnerable to food insecurity.\n\n**12.** **Ensuring food security and social stability are at the core of the urgent need to ensure availability of**\n**and access to staple food** . Bread is an essential part of the diet in Jordan and represents the main caloric source\nfor the poorest Jordanians and the many refugees in the country. Similarly, barley import dependent livestock herding is the mainstay of the rural economy and the livelihoods of about 200,000 people in traditional nomadic and semi-nomadic Bedouin tribal communities. While trade in basic food commodities (such as sugar, rice, cooking oil, milk powder) is managed mainly by the private sector in Jordan, the GOJ maintains full control of grain reserves by directly managing the purchase, import, storage and domestic sales of wheat and barley. In 2021, the GOJ discontinued the bread subsidy and, as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak, it fixed the domestic price of bread to ensure its affordability (at 0.32 JOD per kilogram) for the entire population of Jordan. This intervention model (in combination with the effective appreciation of the Jordanian dinar) has helped control inflationary pressures.\nHowever, maintaining this status quo in a context of all time high international grain prices is costly, also coinciding with Bond maturity obligations of the GOJ, further reducing the availability of financial resources at a critical time.\n\n**13.** **Public procurement of strategic agricultural commodities is at the core of Jordan’s food security strategy**\n**as rising food prices pose a significant threat to social stability** .

An outbreak of the COVID-19 caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been spreading rapidly across the world since December 2019, following the diagnosis of the initial cases in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since the beginning of March 2020, the number of cases outside China has increased thirteenfold and the number of affected countries has tripled. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic as the coronavirus rapidly spreads across the world. As of April 20, 2020, the outbreak has resulted in an estimated 2,420,439 cases and 166,205 deaths in 213 countries and territories. [1] 4. COVID-19 is one of several emerging infectious diseases (EID) outbreaks in recent decades that have emerged from animals in contact with humans, resulting in major outbreaks with significant public health and economic impacts. The last moderately severe influenza pandemics were in 1957 and 1968; each killed more than a million people around the world. Although countries are now far more prepared than in the past, the world is also far more interconnected, and many more people today have behavior risk factors such as tobacco use [2] and pre-existing chronic health problems that make viral respiratory infections particularly dangerous. [3] With COVID-19, scientists are still trying to understand the full picture of the disease symptoms and severity. Reported symptoms in patients have varied from mild to severe, and can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In general, studies of hospitalized patients have found that about 83 percent to 98 percent of patients develop a fever, 76 percent to 82 percent develop a dry cough and 11 percent to 44 percent develop fatigue or muscle aches. [4] Other symptoms, including headache, sore throat, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, have been reported, but are less common. While 3.7 percent of the people worldwide confirmed as having been infected have died, WHO has been careful not to describe that as a mortality rate or death rate. This is because in an unfolding epidemic it can be misleading to look simply at the estimate of deaths divided by cases so far. Hence, given that the actual prevalence of COVID-19 infection remains unknown in most countries, it poses unparalleled challenges with respect to global containment and mitigation. These issues reinforce the need to strengthen the response to COVID-19 across all IDA/IBRD countries to minimize the global risk and impact posed by this disease.\n\n5.

The country project under the MPA Program will support adaptive learning throughout the implementation, as well as from international organizations including WHO, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Center for Disease Control (CDC), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and others. Chad aims to support the following:\n\n- Forecasting: modeling the progression of the pandemic, both in terms of new cases and deaths, as well as\nthe economic impact of disease outbreaks under different scenarios.\n\n- Supply chain approaches: Assessments may be financed on options for timely distribution of medicines and\nother medical supplies.\n\n**II.** **CONTEXT AND RELEVANCE**\n\n**A.** **Country Context**\n\n8. **Chad is a low-income country (LIC) in the African Sahel region with a population of over 13 million people.** Chad is a landlock, sparsely populated country with a high share of the population living in rural areas.\nEconomic growth in Chad has been volatile over the last decade and its economy has been highly impacted by the changes in oil prices of 2014 and 2015. The subsequent recovery in oil prices and the increase in oil and agricultural production have contributed to a slow but positive growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) since 2018 (World Bank, 2020). Despite recent economic growth, poverty rates in Chad remain high and nearly half of the population (47 percent) lives below the poverty line (World Bank, 2020).\n\n9. **Chad has the lowest Human Capital Index (HCI) in the world** . A child born in Chad today will be 29 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed full health and complete education (World Bank, 2018). This weak performance is driven largely by high infant mortality rates and poor quality of Page 8", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) education. An underlying driver of Chad’s Human Capital (and broader development) challenges is its high population growth. With a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 6.4 Chad is among the fastest growing countries in the world (DHS 2014/15). Nutrition outcomes, in turn, are very poor with 40 percent of children under five being stunted (World Bank, 2018). Further, while Human Capital outcomes are poor for both boys and girls, girls are particularly vulnerable and perform lower on the HCI, particularly in terms of expected years of schooling and survival rates.\n\n10. **Chad is highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change and it has repeatedly experienced security**\n**threats over the last decade** . With a Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) of 2.7 in 2018, Chad\nis classified as a Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) country. Regional security risks destabilize the country and lead to severe humanitarian needs. As of January 2020, there were 442,672 refugees settled in 19 camps in the East, the South and Lake Chad regions. [5] Climate change has contributed to the region’s social fragility (particularly in the Lake Chad Region and the pastoral areas in the Sahelian part of the country) and it seriously affected Chadians’ livelihoods.\n\n11. **There is a World Bank-financed Refugees and Host Communities Support Project (P164748 / 172255)**\n**being implemented in Chad.** This project will finance projects in water and sanitation (water points, latrines,\nwells, rainwater harvesting facilities) and provide shock-response cash transfers to approximately 14,000 households. These project activities will go a long way to also help in the COVID-19 control. The COVID-19 project will complement these activities in the camps. Working with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society, it will provide prevention supplies and the design of targeted communication campaigns for refugees and displaced populations.\n\n12. **The direct impact of COVID-19 and the anticipated slowdown in the global economy, will likely reduce**\n**trade and disrupt supply chains of basic goods** . The effects of a pandemic-driven global economic downturn\nand its impact on Chad’s economy are difficult to predict at this stage.\n\n**B.** **Sectoral and Institutional Context**\n\n13. **Chad’s performance in terms of human capital outcomes is closely linked to the structural weaknesses of**\n**its health sector** . Mortality rates are among the highest in the world with a maternal mortality ratio (MMR)\nof 860 deaths per 100,000 live births and under-five child mortality rate of 131 per 1,000 live births in 2015.\nInfant mortality is estimated at between 87 to 90 per 1,000 live births. Several factors help explain the performance of Chad’s health sector, including: (i) limited financial resources; (ii) salient shortages of health workers and inadequate infrastructure; and (iii) significant geographic barriers to the delivery of health services. In addition, Chad’s Joint External Evaluation (JEE) conducted in 2017 revealed important capacity constraints in all 19 technical areas. This shows the country’s vulnerability to health security threats.\n\n14. **Health financing in Chad is insufficient and highly inequitable** . In 2017, Chad spent 4.5 percent of its GDP on health. In per capita terms, the country only spent US$32. This is less than countries of similar levels of income and less than other countries in the region. [6] Furthermore, health has not been sufficiently prioritized in Chad’s public budget and the share of health to general government spending has declined over the last decade from over 12 percent in 2009 to less than 4 percent in 2018, well below the Abuja target of 15 percent. In fact, the largest share (61.2 percent) of Chad’s total health spending is financed by households 5 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Refugee Protection Assessment for Chad, January 2020.\n6 LICs countries spent on average US$35, while Sub-Saharan African countries spent US$82 (World Bank 2020) Page 9", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["Country Policy and Institutional Assessment", "DHS 2014/15", "Joint External Evaluation"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) through out-of-pocket payments. This poses major challenges in terms of the equity, the efficiency and the sustainability of the country’s health financing architecture.\n\n15. **Health facilities have low readiness levels to deliver quality health services** . The number of health facilities in Chad is low and more than 3,000 facilities are needed to reach WHO target of two facilities per 10,000 inhabitants. Further, according to the most recent SARA survey, one in three health facilities had access to electricity and two in three had access to improved water sources. The availability of essential medical equipment (scales, thermometers, stethoscopes, etc.) and laboratory capacity were also substandard (WHO, 2019). In terms of health professionals, in 2017 there were less than 10,000 professionals in all Chad.\nShortages are particularly acute for doctors and specialized health professionals (0.38 per 10,000 population), and there are important disparities in the distribution of health professionals between provinces.\n\n16. **The coverage of essential health services is low** . The above-mentioned constraints, together with the significant geographic barriers enhanced by the poor transport infrastructure, lead to the low coverage of essential health services such as reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health services and nutrition.\nIn 2017, one in four children under five received all required vaccines. According to the DHS 2014/2015, only 25 percent of women attended at least four antenatal care visits and less than 30 percent delivered at a health facility. These coverage rates reflect a low demand for health services and great difficulties delivering health services through outreach.\n\n17. **Weakness in core capacities to enforce International Health Regulation (IHR) can increase the risk of**\n**emergencies** . Chad signed on to the International Health Regulations (RSI, 2005) in 2012. Five years later\n(August 2017), there was a JEE. [7] This evaluation highlighted the capacities and skills of Chad for the 19 technical fields. It was found that out of the 19 technical areas assessed on a scale of 1 (no capacity) to 5 (sustainable capacity), there was no area with a favorable rating of 4 or 5. Most of the technical areas were rated as 1 (no capacity), [8] particularly, Coordination, communication and promotion of IHR; anti-microbial resistance (AMR); emergency response operations; preparedness; biosafety and biosecurity; medical countermeasures; and Point of entry. Only one technical area was rated as 3 (capacity) for all their indicators: vaccination. Based on the recommendations of the Joint External Assessment, a National Plan for Health security has been developed and validated whose implementation is slow to be effective for lack of availability of resources.\n\n18. **The first COVID-19 case in the country was diagnosed on March 19, 2020** . Since then, thirty-two more cases have been confirmed, eight recovered cases and no deaths caused by COVID-19 have been reported as of April 20, 2020. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government initially introduced surveillance measures at the airport. The international airport was subsequently closed for all passenger flights, all educational facilities have been closed and leisure venues such as restaurants, bars and casinos have been closed as well.\n\n7 Joint External Evaluation of IHR Core Capacities of the Republic of Togo.

All suspected cases identified in Ndjamena will be kept at the Farcha Provincial hospital and others identified in provinces will be kept in provincial/district hospitals. However, isolation capacity at provincial and district hospitals will need to be developed. The country does not have enough quantities of basic personal protective equipment (PPE) in case of an increase in the number of cases. In addition, the country is currently experiencing a polio outbreak putting additional pressures on the PPE stocks.\n\n20. **The proposed project will support activities identified by the Government in their response plan** . The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), in close collaboration with the WHO, has prepared a COVID-19 National Action Plan (“ _Plan National de Contingence pour la Preparation et la Riposte a l’Épidémie de la Maladie a_ _Coronavirus Covid-19_ ”), which takes into consideration a scenario of significant local transmission. The Plan consists of the following six strategies: (1) Strengthening coordination of preparedness and management of epidemics; (2) strengthening health surveillance; (3) strengthening laboratories; (4) strengthening of case management; (5) strengthening of communication and community engagement; and (6) infection prevention and control (hygiene and sanitation).\n\n21. **The Government of Chad (GoC) has already started the implementation of activities from the National**\n**Action Plan which include the following** :\n\n- **Coordination:** Government put in place a Health Security Committee and a Technical Committee to\ncoordinate the response. The first one is chaired by the State Minister, Secretary General at the Presidency and has an executive function. The second one is chaired by the Director General of the MOPH and it is responsible for day to day follow-up of the evolution of the epidemic.\n\n- **Surveillance:** Surveillance was reinforced at the points of entry, particularly at the international Hassan\nDjamouss airport where a isolation and treatment centers were identified and equipped. The airport has been closed since March 20, 2020 for all passenger flights.\n\n- **Laboratory:** A mobile laboratory from the MOPH and WHO is available as a site for diagnosis of COVID19.\n\n- **Communication:** Information and sensitization messages are made via the media, flyers and posters.\n\n- **Rapid Intervention Team:** Rapid intervention teams have been put in place to investigate, follow up\npassengers from endemic countries and their contacts.\n\n- **Preparation of quarantine and isolation centers** : Government has proposed to use Ibis Hotel and Hotel\nChari for the 14-day quarantine of suspected cases. As for isolation, the Farcha Provincial hospital is being used as an isolation center for cases identified. Suspected cases identified in the regions will be isolated in District/Provincial hospitals. These sites will need to be renovated and equipped.\n\n- **Financing:** a Special Fund was created to pool resources for the COVID-19 response.\n\n22. **The Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement Project – Phase IV (REDISSE IV; P167817) will**\n**contribute to further strengthen national and regional cross-sectoral capacity for collaborative disease**\n**surveillance and epidemic preparedness.** The selection of activities to be financed under this operation\nconsiders the support available under REDISSE IV and the support planned by other development partners, including the Agence Française de Développement (French Agency for Development, AFD) and Global Alliance for Gavi and Immunization (GAVI).

Among these are:\n\n- Insufficient and inadequate equipment to prevent and control infections, as well as to manage COVID19 complications.\n\n- Misinformation and limited social and behavior change (SBC) campaigns to promote the hygiene\nmeasures required to prevent the spread of COVID-19.\n\n**C.** **Relevance to Higher Level Objectives**\n\n24. The project is aligned with World Bank Group (WBG) strategic priorities, particularly the WBG’s mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity. The project’s focus on preparedness is also critical to achieving Universal Health Coverage. It is also aligned with the World Bank’s support for national plans and global commitments to strengthen pandemic preparedness through three key actions under Preparedness: (i) improving national preparedness plans including organizational structure of the government; (ii) promoting adherence to the IHR; and (iii) utilizing international framework for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of IHR. The economic rationale for investing in the MPA interventions is strong, given that success can reduce the economic burden suffered both by individuals and countries. The project complements both WBG and development partner’s investments in health systems strengthening, disease control and surveillance, attention to changing individual and institutional behavior, and citizen engagement. Further, as part of the proposed IDA19 commitments, the World Bank is committed to “support at least 25 IDA countries to implement pandemic preparedness plans through interventions (including strengthening institutional capacity, technical assistance (TA), lending and investment).” The project contributes to the implementation of IHR (2005), Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR), and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) international standards, the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), the Paris Climate Agreement, the attainment of Universal Health Coverage and of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and the promotion of a One Health approach.\n\n25. The WBG remains committed to providing a fast and flexible response to the COVID-19 epidemic, utilizing all WBG operational and policy instruments and working in close partnership with government and other agencies. Grounded in OneHealth, which provides for an integrated approach across sectors and disciplines, the proposed WBG response to COVID-19 will include emergency financing, policy advice, and TA, building on existing instruments to support IDA/IBRD-eligible countries in addressing the health sector and broader development impacts of COVID-19. The WBG COVID-19 response will be anchored in the WHO’s COVID-19 global Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP) outlining the public health measures for all countries to prepare for and respond to COVID-19 and sustain their efforts to prevent future outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases.\n\n**III.** **PROJECT DESCRIPTION**\n\n**A.** **Development Objectives**\n\n26. The project objectives are aligned to the results chain of the COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Program (SPRP).\n\nPage 12", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) 27. **Project DO statement** : To prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness in Chad.\n\n28. While the project is structured around the government’s response to COVID-19, activities implemented through the project will have a broader, long-lasting impact that will contribute to overcome structural challenges in Chad’s health system. For example, the project will address critical needs in terms of equipment needed to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Most of this equipment is also utilized to treat other diseases. The project will also increase knowledge on infection prevention and control therefore promoting better quality of health services. Finally, better emergency preparedness is critical to ensure that service delivery is not disrupted by emergency response efforts.\n\n29. **PDO level indicators** : The PDO will be monitored through the following PDO level outcome indicators:\n\n- Number of designated laboratories with COVID-19 functioning diagnostic equipment, test kits, and\nreagents per MOPH guidelines;\n\n- Percentage of targeted acute healthcare facilities with isolation capacity;\n\n- Number of suspected cases of COVID-19 cases reported and investigated based on national guidelines;\n\n- Number of laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 treated per approved protocol.\n\n**B.** **Project Components**\n\n30. This operation addresses critical country-level needs for preparedness and response for COVID-19, and other diseases with epidemic potential. This project has been designed to support the implementation of Chad’s National Action Plan against COVID-19, benefiting from the agile procedures established under the FTCF. This project will therefore prioritize those activities that will benefit from the added agility in fiduciary procedures, including the procurement of essential equipment and the engagement of United Nations (UN) agencies to support the immediate response.\n\n31. While the project will help strengthen the national capacity to respond to the COVID-19 emergency, the distribution of equipment and supplies and the training of staff will prioritize the seven provinces identified by the WHO as high-risk provinces. These provinces are those where there are points of entry to the country and include: N’Djamena, Lake Chad, Mayo Kebbi East, Mayo Kebbi West, Logone Oriental, Moyen-Chari and Ouaddai. In addition, the project will support activities in selected refugee camps. The camps will be selected based on their proximity to points of entry and the frequency and size of inflows of new refugees. Activities targeted to refugee camps include the provision of prevention supplies (e.g., hand-washing stations and PPE for health staff) and the design of targeted communication campaigns.\n\n32. **The project has three components** : (1) Emergency COVID-19 Preparedness and Response; (2) Community Engagement and Social and Behavior Change Communication; and (3) Implementation Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Coordination.\n\n33. **Component 1. Emergency COVID-19 Preparedness and Response (US$13.45 million equivalent)** : This component will support the country’s ability to promote an integrated preparedness and response to COVID-19 through improved prevention measures, laboratory capacity and surveillance, case detection and contact tracing, case management and treatment. Furthermore, this component will support coordinated Page 13", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) efforts that will enable the country to mobilize surge response capacity through trained, motivated and well-equipped frontline health workers. The component will also finance provisions for emergency response activities targeted at migrant and displaced populations in fragile, conflict or humanitarian emergency settings compounded by COVID-19. This component has four subcomponents: 34. _Subcomponent 1.1. COVID-19 Prevention and Preparedness Planning (US$4.24 million)_ : Given the limited number of COVID-19 cases confirmed in Chad, it is of utter importance to strengthen prevention measures that can help control the spread of the disease. Further, it will be important to develop robust plans to ensure that the country is prepared to manage the response. For that purpose, this subcomponent will finance: (i) TA to build the government’s capacity on preparedness planning, including TA to strengthen fiduciary mechanisms under the COVID-19 Special Fund; (ii) the purchase of all infection prevention and control commodities, consumables and equipment including masks, gloves, gowns, cleaning supplies, autoclaves, etc., as well as strengthening medical waste management and disposal systems; and (iii) the provision of prevention supplies for refugees and displaced populations. Given the potential exacerbation of Chad’s social fragility through the implementation of certain prevention measures (e.g. the use of force to ensure compliance with restrictions to movement), the TA delivered under this subcomponent will integrate an analysis of the social implications of such policies and it will include mitigating measures to such risks.\n\n35. _Subcomponent 1.2. Improving Case Detection, Confirmation, Contact Tracing, Recording and Reporting_ _(US$2.86 million):_ This sub-component will finance the following activities: (i) disease surveillance activities including early detection, investigation, active contact tracing, risk assessment, on-time data and information collection and utilization; (ii) the reinforcement of human resources through mobilization of additional health personnel; (iii) the purchase of ambulances for the rapid intervention team; (iv) the establishment and/or upgrade of laboratory capacity including purchase of equipment, specimen collection and transport, as well as training of personnel; (v) procurement of laboratory tests and related consumables for the national laboratory; (vi) organization of screening at all points of entry into the country; (vii) support to strengthen health management information systems to facilitate recording and real-time sharing of information; (viii) hardware and software needs such as internet connection and telephone communication of health facilities at operational, regional and central levels.\n\n36. _Subcomponent 1.3. Improving Case Management of COVID-19 Patients (US$5.80 million)_ : This subcomponent will build Chad’s capacity to provide quality supportive treatment for COVID-19 patients. It will finance the establishment of specialized and intensive care units (ICU) and beds in selected primary care facilities and hospitals. This includes the purchase and installation of medicalized tents and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, the provision of medical equipment and supplies to comply with WHO standards for COVID-19 supportive treatment, drugs, and other operational expenses. In addition, this subcomponent will finance the development and validation of treatment guidelines and the clinical training of health personnel.\n\n37. _Subcomponent 1.4. Food and basic supplies to households and patients (US$0.55 million_ ): This component aims to address the significant negative economic impact on COVID-19-affected households. Using the services of civil society and NGOs, it will provide emergency support that include basic hygiene supplies/toiletries such as soap and a towel, to quarantined households and those of people in isolation (i.e.\nsuspected cases being monitored/isolated at health facilities), and treatment centers, including food and basic supplies. This project did not offer cash transfers for affected households because there is a Safety Net Page 14", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) Project (P156479/168685) in Chad, and the Refugees and Host Communities Project (P164748/172255) also has cash transfers for refugees.\n\n38. **Component 2. Community Engagement and Social and Behavior Change Communication (US$2.5 million**\n**equivalent):** This component will support the development and testing of SBC messages and materials to\nraise awareness, knowledge and understanding among the general population about the risk and potential impact of the pandemic and to promote prevention measures, including hand-washing, hygiene and social distancing. Targeted messages will be developed for vulnerable groups, including refugees living in refugee camps and internally displaced persons, as social distancing and other prevention measures will need to be adapted to the different realities of refugees living in refugee camps and people on the move. Partnerships with organizations with experience addressing such vulnerabilities in Chad will be explored.\n\n39. Communication activities will cover the entire country using cost effective channels of communications such as radio, television and social media as appropriate, as well as SBC campaigns in schools, workplaces, and through ongoing outreach activities of various ministries and sectors, especially ministries of health, education, agriculture, and transport. This will be done after a rapid community behavior assessment to gather information about the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and challenged related COVID-19 response. This component will primarily finance the production of SBC and mass media products as well as buying the airtime of mass media. These materials will be translated to French, Arabic and local languages. Advocacy communication and community mobilization activities through civil society organizations including religious and tribal leaders, community health worker and community organization will also be supported, especially in rural areas.\n\n40. **Component 3. Implementation Management, Monitoring and Evaluation and Coordination (US$1 million**\n**equivalent):** This component will finance operational costs of the Project Coordination Unit (PCU). These\ninclude equipment, additional staff and other operational expenses needed to implement the project. This component will also finance coordination activities. These include meetings of Technical Coordination committees, Coordination’s meetings at different level of the health system and operation costs of Emergency Operation Center.\n\n**C.** **Project Beneficiaries**\n\n41. The expected project beneficiaries will be the population at large given the nature of the disease, infected people, at-risk populations, particularly the elderly, refugees and people with chronic conditions, medical and emergency personnel, medical and testing facilities, and public health agencies engaged in the response in participating countries.\n\n**D.** **Results Chain**\n\n42. Swift detection of an outbreak, assessment of its epidemic potential and rapid emergency response can reduce avoidable mortality and morbidity and reduce the economic, social, and security impacts. Failure in the rapid mobilization of financing and coordination of response results in unnecessary casualties and significant socioeconomic consequences. By focusing on the containment, diagnosis and treatment of patients, the proposed project seeks to control the disease outbreak and limit socioeconomic losses.\n\nPage 15", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["rapid community behavior assessment"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) 43. Critical interventions are needed to reduce morbidity and mortality rates from existing and emerging infectious diseases, curtail the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate the social impacts of the outbreak. The development of national COVID-19 preparedness and response plan which includes strengthening of the MOPH capacity for efficient emergency response for multiple hazards, strengthening of surveillance and information systems, increased laboratory capacity, improved infection and prevention control and case management will improve disease surveillance and emergency response in the country. Health care workers trained in critical skills involved in disease detection and response will increase the health system’s effectiveness whereas risk communication and behavior change interventions including social distancing measures will contribute to slowing the spread of COVID-19 and other disease outbreaks.\n\n**E.** **Complementarities with REDISSE IV and the support from other Development Partners**\n\n44. Chad’s fiscal situation significantly limits its capacity to quickly mobilize resources to respond to COVID-19.\nCommitments made by the GoC are targeted to several activities in the plan, but they are insufficient to fully fund any of the activities targeted. In this context, there is a great need for external financing to cover the funding gap.\n\n45. The GoC has requested the World Bank and other development partners to assist in the emergency response to COVID-19. WHO is providing technical support to the development and update of preparedness plans. Intentions to support the National Action Plan have been expressed by other technical and financial partners that include the AFD, GAVI, the Global Fund and the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). Budget support to respond to the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 is being discussed with the African Development Bank and with the IMF. In addition, some development partners with ongoing projects (e.g. the Swiss Development Cooperation and the AFD) are reallocating unprogrammed funds to respond to the emergency.\n\nPage 16", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) 46. The COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project will coordinate with and leverage the new REDISSE IV project. Since March 2020, Chad is part of the REDISSE IV project. REDISSE IV focuses on strengthening the country’s capacity for pandemic preparedness and response. It aims to strengthen national and regional cross-sectoral capacity for collaborative disease surveillance and epidemic preparedness in Central Africa. REDISSE IV uses the One Health approach to recognize the connectedness of human, animal and environmental health and the need to address challenges in a collaborative, multisectoral and trans-disciplinary approach. REDISSE IV strengthens not only the human health Joint External Evaluation, but also the evaluation of the Performance of Veterinary Services (PVS) and epidemiological surveillance network for animal health, to improve analytical capacity and exchange of information. In Chad, REDISSE IV will finance surveillance and laboratory capacity development, emergency planning and management, workforce development, and institutional capacity building. An important contribution from REDISSE IV will be the support to the roll-out of District Health Information System (DHIS2) and the overall strengthening of the country’s health management information system.\n\n47. To avoid overlaps with REDISSE IV, the COVID-19 SPRP project will tackle activities that support the immediate needs identified by the National Action Plan, i.e. activities prioritized in the 3-month Action Plan and urgent needs in the National Action Plan. Given additional agility in fiduciary procedures, the Fast Track Facility is more suitable to ensure that the activities prioritized are implemented and completed within a short period of time. REDISSE IV will carry on and enhance the support provided by this project and build Chad’s capacity to effectively address similar pandemics in the future. Furthermore, early lessons from the global COVID-19 response highlight the utter importance of social and behavior change communication campaigns and the need to strengthen surveillance and case management functions. Based on this, the COVID-19 SPRP project includes specific support to strengthen these functions. Table 2 shows the complementarity between COVID-19 SPRP and REDISSE IV for the core functions of REDISSE IV.\n\n**Table 2.

Support to the coordination of the COVID-19 response.\n\n**IV.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\n**A.** **Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n49. **The GoC has established several working groups to coordinate the response to COVID-19.** The Health Security Committee is a high-level committee formed by ministers and chaired by the State Minister, Secretary General at the Presidency. The Technical Committee is formed by Directors from the MOPH and key stakeholders, including development partners, and it is chaired by the Director General of the MOPH.\nTechnical units have been organized to cover critical areas of the response plan, including laboratory, rapid interventions teams, supportive treatment, and M&E. While the Health Security Committee has an executive function, the Technical Committee provides regular advice and coordinates the implementation of the National Action Plan.\n\n50. **The MOPH plays a key role in the implementation of the COVID-19 response** . In coordination with other ministries (civil aviation, education, agriculture), the MOPH leads many activities, particularly those related to surveillance, prevention and management of COVID-19 cases. The Technical Directorate for Disease Control and Health Promotion is the unit within the MOPH leading most of these efforts.\n\n51. **The project will be implemented by the REDISSE IV PCU** . The PCU has experience working on projects financed by the World Bank. Prior to the REDISSE IV project, which became effective on March 13, 2020, the PCU managed the implementation of the Mother and Child Health Service Strengthening Project (P148052). That project included the engagement of UN agencies, which means that the PCU has experience managing this kind of contracts. Furthermore, the Project Coordinator is a member of the above-mentioned Technical Committee and participates in their meetings. The PCU is already staffed with a procurement and a financial management (FM) specialist, a M&E officer and a communications officer. The PCU is in the process of recruiting an environmental specialist and a social specialist. An emergency liaison officer (fulltime) will be hired to coordinate all emergency response efforts and a part-time public health officer will be recruited to support the implementation of Component 2. The emergency liaison officer will also be responsible for the oversight of the contract with UN agencies and for ensuring that information related to the implementation of activities carried out by UN agencies is shared with the government’s COVID-19 governance structures in a timely manner. The public health officer will support activities under Component 2 and contribute to capacity building activities on advocacy and communication.\n\nPage 18", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) 52. **The PCU will be responsible for the daily management, implementation, administration, project**\n**coordination, and M&E of the project** .

The Project Coordinator – supported by the emergency liaison officer – will play a\nkey role in the coordination with the Technical Committee and the MOPH. He will continue to participate in the Technical Committee’s meetings to update its members on progress made and to coordinate with other stakeholders involved in the response. The Project Coordinator will also report directly to the Director General at MOPH and update him on issues that require MOPH’s attention. Relevant members of the PCU will also advise their respective department at MOPH and they will ensure that the project is implemented in line with MOPH’s technical specifications. Particularly important will be the coordination between the technical team at the PCU and the Technical Directorate for Disease Control and Health Promotion, as well as the respective Technical Unit.\n\n**Figure 2.– Institutional Set-up**\n\n54. **The project will explore innovative approaches to overcome the logistical challenges posed by the COVID-**\n**19 pandemic and the difficulties of operating in a fragile environment** . The immediate response will be\nmostly executed through relevant UN agencies and NGOs (roughly 80 percent of activities, which represent 80 percent of the project’s financial envelop), and, where possible, other stakeholders like the private sector will be considered. These organizations will be selected based on their expertise and their ability to respond to this crisis in a timely manner. Organizations will also be selected based on their previous performance implementing similar projects in Chad. The project will engage UN agencies to (i) provide TA/support to prepare and respond to the pandemic; (ii) implement effective Information Education Communication/Behavior Change Communication (IEC/BCC) strategies; (iii) strengthen case management functions, and (iv) procure and deliver essential commodities and equipment. These activities will be funded out of the Financing Agreement (FA) with Chad.\n\nPage 19", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894)\n\n**B.** **Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n55. **The M&E activities will be the responsibility of REDISSE IV’s PCU at the MOPH** . This unit will be responsible for collecting and compiling all the data related to the PDO and intermediary indicators in the results framework. It will evaluate the results and report them to the World Bank before each of the two annual support missions. Given that REDISSE IV results framework focuses on the JEEs, reporting under this project will be complemented, when possible, by reports on REDISSE IV’s indicators.\n\n56. **The M&E activities will support M&E efforts from the MOPH** . The project’s results framework has been designed to provide useful information on the implementation of the National Action Plan. As a result, M&E activities under this project will strengthen MOPH’s M&E efforts to track and manage information. The project will closely collaborate with REDISSE IV which will support the roll-out of DHIS2 and the overall strengthening of the country’s health management information system, as well as to facilitate recording and real-time sharing of information. Lastly, the project will use Geo-enabled Monitoring Systems (GEMS) to supervise project implementation despite the travel restrictions.\n\n57. **It should be noted that given that standard reporting standards from UN agencies are not adequate** for the context of an emergency response, agencies engaged under this project will be required to produce weekly reports and to share these with all relevant stakeholders involved in the COVID-19 response in Chad.\n\n58. **Large volumes of personal data, personally identifiable information and sensitive data are likely to be**\n**collected and used in connection with the management of the COVID-19 outbreak under circumstances**\n**where measures to ensure the legitimate, appropriate and proportionate use and processing of that data**\n**may not feature in national law or data governance regulations, or be routinely collected and managed**\n**in health information systems.** In order to guard against abuse of that data, the Project will incorporate\nbest international practices for dealing with such data in such circumstances. Such measures may include, by way of example, data minimization (collecting only data that is necessary for the purpose); data accuracy (correct or erase data that are not necessary or are inaccurate), use limitations (data are only used for legitimate and related purposes), data retention (retain data only for as long as they are necessary), informing data subjects of use and processing of data, and allowing data subjects the opportunity to correct information about them, etc. In practical terms, operations will ensure that these principles apply through assessments of existing or development of new data governance mechanisms and data standards for emergency and routine healthcare, data sharing protocols, rules or regulations, revision of relevant regulations, training, sharing of global experience, unique identifiers for health system clients, strengthening of health information systems, etc.\n\n**C.** **Sustainability**\n\n59. **This project is an emergency operation to respond to a crisis due to the pandemic of Covid-19.** The sustainability is ensured through the strong alignment between this project, the core objectives of REDISSE IV and the National Action Plan. Further, all activities in this plan, regardless of their emergency nature, will contribute to strengthen the country’s pandemic preparedness and response.\n\nPage 20", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894)\n\n**V.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**A.** **Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n60. **There are very significant gaps in knowledge of the scope and features of the COVID-19 pandemic.** It is apparent that one main set of economic effects will derive from increased sickness and death among humans and the impact this will have on the potential output of the global economy. In the Spanish Influenza pandemic (1918-19) 50 million people died -about 2.5 percent of the then global population of 1.8 billion.\nThe most direct impact would be through the impact of increased illness and mortality on the size and productivity of the world labor force. The loss of productivity as a result of illness which, even in normal influenza episodes is estimated to be ten times as large as all other costs combined will be quite significant.\n\n61. **Another significant set of economic impacts will result from the uncoordinated efforts of private**\n**individuals to avoid becoming infected or to survive the results of infection** . The SARS outbreak of 2003\nprovides a good example. The number of deaths due to SARS was estimated at “only” 800 deaths and it resulted in economic losses of about 0.5 percent of annual GDP for the entire East Asia region, concentrated in the second quarter. The measures that people took resulted in a severe demand shock for services sectors such as tourism, mass transportation, retail sales, and increased business costs due to workplace absenteeism, disruption of production processes and shifts to more costly procedures. Prompt and transparent public information policy can reduce economic losses.\n\n62. **A last set of economic impacts are those associated with governments’ policy efforts to prevent the**\n**epidemic, contain it, and mitigate its harmful effects on the population** . These policy actions can be\noriented to the short, medium or long-term or, in spatial terms to the national, regional or global levels.\n\n**B.** **Fiduciary**\n\n**Financial Management**\n\n63. **The proposed project is a US$16.95 million grant which will support the implementation of the national**\n**COVID-19 Plan endorsed by the Minister of MOPH.** The COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Project will\nbe implemented by the REDISSE IV PCU and selected UN Agencies. The REDISSE IV PCU will provide integrated and coordinated project management interventions in collaboration with the existing Technical Committee, which is responsible for overall coordination of the implementation and monitoring of the national COVID-19 National Action Plan. The Technical Committee will therefore provide strategic guidance for overall project implementation.\n\n64. **The FM arrangements currently in place at the REDISSE IV PCU meet the minimum fiduciary requirements**\n**under World Bank Policy and Directive for Investment Project Financing (IPF)** . However, implementing a\nproject in a situation of urgent need raises additional risks for which mitigating measures are described in the paragraphs that follow. The FM risk, after implementation of mitigating measures, remains Substantial.\n\n65. **FM arrangements.** Although the PCU has experience in coordinating World Bank-financed projects, shortcomings were identified in the past and implementing a project in a situation of urgent need poses additional risks. The Recipient will contract with UN Agencies (UNOPS, WHO and UNICEF) for the purchase Page 21", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) of equipment, TA and various non-consulting services. Activities that represent more than 75 percent of the project budget allocation will be implemented by or contracted through UN Agencies. The World Bank has obtained, through a fiduciary assessment, assurance over the capacity of UNOPS, WHO and UNICEF to properly implement World Bank-financed projects. Hence, UN FM procedures will apply. For the remaining activities that will be implemented by the REDISSE IV PCU, internal controls will be strengthened by effective internal audit activities.\n\n66. **Internal control and internal audit arrangements.** FM procedures as documented in the REDISSE IV FM manual will apply to the proposed project. Given the Recipient limited capacity in internal audit, the internal audit activities will be outsourced to an audit firm whose qualifications and experience will be deemed satisfactory by IDA. The internal auditor will propose and execute an audit plan based on a risk-based approach, and in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (IIA’s Standards). An internal audit report will be issued on a quarterly basis.\n\n67. **Banking arrangements** . As the coordinating agency of the project, the PCU will maintain the project Designated Account (DA). The Segregated DA denominated in Central African CFA Franc (CFAF) will be opened in a commercial bank on terms and conditions acceptable to IDA. The project’s DA will function under the co-signature of the project Coordinator and the FM Specialist of the PCU. UN Agencies will not be required to open segregated accounts. The allocated funds will be transferred to each UN Agency Bank Account as an Advance.\n\n68. **Disbursements arrangements** . For activities to be implemented by the PCU, the methods that will be used under this project will be based on the Disbursement Guidelines for IPF, dated February 2017. Precisely, the following four methods will be used: (a) an initial advance into the DA to finance eligible expenditures as they are incurred; (b) direct payments to a third party for works, goods and services upon the Recipient’s request; (c) special commitments; and (d) reimbursements for expenditures incurred under the project. For disbursements to UN Agencies, the full contract amount as indicated in the agreement between the Recipient and the UN Agency will be disbursed as an advance, through direct payments. Further details about disbursements to the Project will be included in the procedures described in the Disbursement and Financial Information Letter (DFIL).\n\n69. **Flow of funds arrangements** . Funds flow arrangements for the project are as follows: a. **PCU.** Upon receiving a withdrawal application from the Recipient, IDA will disburse into the DA an initial advance for activities being implemented by the PCU. The DA ceiling for advances will be fixed-.\nReplenishment of funds from IDA to the DA will be made upon evidence of satisfactory utilization of the advance, reflected in Statements of Expenses (SOE). Replenishment applications will be required to be submitted monthly. Payments for all contracts for works, goods, non-consulting services and consulting service procured or selected through international open or limited competition or direct selection, as set out in the procurement plan, will be made only through Mandatory Direct Payment (MDP) and/or Special Commitment disbursement methods.\n\nb. **UN Agencies.** Upon receiving the withdrawal application from the Recipient with the signed agreement between the Recipient and the UN Agency, IDA will disburse the full amount of the contract to the UN Agency bank account.

The PCU will prepare combined quarterly IFRs. The IFRs will be submitted to the World Bank within forty-five (45) days of the end of the quarter. The format and the content, consistent with the World Bank’s standards, will be agreed between the World Bank and the Recipient. At a minimum, the financial report will include: (a) a statement of sources and uses of funds and opening and closing balances for the semester and cumulative; (b) a statement of uses of fund that shows actual expenditures appropriately classified by main project activities (categories, sub-components) including comparison with budget for the quarter and cumulative; (c) a statement on movements (inflows and outflows) of the project DA including opening and closing balances; (d) a statement of expenditure forecast for the next quarter together with the cash requirement; (e) Fund Utilization Reports prepared quarterly by UN Agencies; (f) notes and explanations; and (g) other supporting schedules and documents.\n\n71. **For activities being implemented by UN Agencies**, each UN Agency will submit Fund Utilization Reports as part of their quarterly progress reports and submit them to the PCU within 30 days after the end of the reporting period. The formats and content of progress reports will be agreed between the World Bank, the Recipient and the UN Agencies. Fund Utilization Reports prepared quarterly by UN Agencies will serve to document the utilization of the advance and be used in the preparation of the combined IFR to be submitted by the PCU.\n\n72. **External audit arrangements** . The annual audited financial statements of the project and audit reports (including the Management Letter) will be submitted by the PCU to the World Bank no later than six (6) months from the end of the fiscal year. The scope of the audit will exclude funds allocated to and activities implemented by UN Agencies. The audit will be carried out in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFA), based on terms of references (TORs) acceptable to IDA. The auditor will be an independent external auditor with qualification and experience satisfactory to IDA.\n\n73. **For the UN implemented activities,** the World Bank will rely on UNOPS, WHO and UNICEF external audit arrangements to fulfill the fiduciary requirement (waiver for audit requirement is outstanding). The UN Agencies will ensure that their audited accounts and the External Auditors’ Reports are posted on their websites within ten (10) days of their becoming public documents. However, the Recipient will retain the responsibility of ensuring that good and services acquired are delivered to the intended beneficiaries during implementation. Where and when deemed appropriate, —for example, if a UN Agency progress report show weaknesses or deficiencies— the Recipient may conduct physical inspections of goods and services delivered by the UN Agency.\n\n74. **Retroactive financing** . The retroactive financing may be applied to the contracts procured in advance for the purpose of this Project objective using procurement procedures consistent with Sections I, II and III of the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations and consistent with the FA of this Project. Withdrawals up to an aggregate amount not to exceed US$2,000,000 under the grant may be made for payments made prior to this date but on or after January 25, 2020, for eligible expenditures. The World Bank will provide procurement hands-on expanded implementation support to the Recipient to expedite procurement, if required.\n\nPage 23", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894)\n\n**Procurement**\n\n75. **Procurement for this project will be carried out in accordance with the World Bank’s Procurement**\n**Regulations for IPF Recipients for Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services, dated July 1,**\n**2016 (revised in November 2017 and August 2018).** The projects will be subject to the World Bank’s\nAnticorruption Guidelines, dated October 15, 2006, revised in January 2011, and as of July 1, 2016. Countries will use the Systematic tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) to plan, record and track procurement transactions.\n\n76. **The major planned procurement** includes: (i) medical/laboratory equipment and consumables; (ii) PPE in facilities and triage; (iii) refurbishment and equipment of medical facilities; (iv) TA for updating or reviewing national plans and costs; (vi) ambulances; (v) human resources for response; and (vi) expertise for development and training of front-line responders. Chad will prepare streamlined project procurement strategy for development (PPSD) during project implementation and Procurement plans will be agreed with the GoC.\n\n77. **The proposed procurement approaches in Chad will utilize the flexibility provided by the World Bank’s**\n**Procurement Framework for fast track emergency procurement.** Key measures to fast track procurement\nwill include: (i) procurement from UN Agencies enabled and expedited by World Bank procedures and templates; (ii) use of simple and fast procurement and selection methods fit for an emergency situation including direct contracting; (iii) streamlined competitive procedures with shorter bidding time; iv) force account, as needed; and (iv) increased thresholds for Requests For Quotations and national procurement.\n\n78. **Chad COVID-19 project may be significantly constrained in purchasing critically needed supplies and**\n**materials due to significant disruption in the supply chain, especially for PPE** . The supply problems that\nhave initially impacted PPE are emerging for other medical products (e.g., reagents and possibly oxygen) and more complex equipment (e.g. ventilators) where manufacturing capacity is being fully allocated by rapid orders from developed countries. Recognizing the significant disruptions in the usual supply chains for medical consumables and equipment for COVID-19 response **,** the Recipient (the GoC), has requested the World Bank to provide procurement hands-on expanded implementation support to help the Government expedite all stages of procurement – from help with supplier identification, to support for bidding/selection and/or negotiations to contract signing and monitoring of implementation. Once the suppliers are identified, the World Bank could proactively support the GoC with negotiating prices and other contract conditions. The GoC will remain fully responsible for signing and entering into contracts and implementation, including assuring relevant logistics with suppliers such as arranging the necessary freight/shipment of the goods to their destination, receiving and inspecting the goods and paying the suppliers, with the direct payment by the World Bank disbursement option available to them.\n\n79. **World Bank Facilitated Procurement (BFP) in accessing available supplies may include aggregating**\n**demand across participating countries, whenever possible, extensive market engagement to identify**\n**suppliers from the private sector and UN agencies** . The BFP would constitute additional support to GoC\nover and above usual Hands on Expanded Implementation Support which will remain available. The World Bank could also provide hands-on support to GoC in contracting to outsource logistics. The World Bank is coordinating closely with the WHO and other UN agencies (specifically UNOPS, WHO and UNICEF) that have Page 24", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) established systems for procuring medical supplies and charge a fee which varies across agencies and type of service and can be negotiated (around 5 percent on average.) 80. All the procurement approach options mentioned above remain available depending on Chad’s preference in order to provide the most efficient and effective support to project in the specific circumstances. For this project, there are discussions going on for procurement from UN Agencies, enabled and expedited by World Bank procedures and templates. The GoC has adopted tracking emergency COVID-19 procurement activities, and to support this, a new Decree No. 498/PR/2020 was signed on April 1, 2020.\n\n81. **All procurement under the project will be undertaken by the REDISSE IV PCU** under the MOPH. The REDISSE IV project became effective on March 13, 2020. Streamlined procedures for approval of emergency procurement to expedite decision making and approvals under country projects have been agreed for implementation.\n\n82. **Key procurement risks include** : (i) Failed procurement due to lack of sufficient global supply of essential medical consumables and equipment needed to address the health emergency as there is significant disruption in the supply chain, especially for PPE; (ii) lack of realistic planning and weak contract management capacity for emergency procurement and limited knowledge of the World Bank’s New Procurement Framework (NPF); (iii) Recipient import restrictions in place for goods/service providers/consultants/contractors from certain countries, which can result in fraud and corruption. The mitigation measures to the above risks are presented in Table 3.\n\n**Table 3.

BFP in identifying suppliers and facilitating contracting between them and borrowers may bring a perception that the World Bank is acting beyond its role as a financier with greater reputational and potentially litigation risks – these would relate to questions of transparency, equity in terms of which borrowers get access to what and when, issues with quality, timeliness of delivery, value for money, and any other issues of contractual non-performance by the suppliers identified by the World Bank. To partially mitigate these risks, the World Bank and the Recipient will clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of the World Bank and the Recipients for whom the World Bank facilitates access to available supplies. Moreover, BFP is provided to mitigate the greater risk that the World Bank could be providing financing for medical supplies that may not be readily available to developing countries. This more proactive approach in assisting borrowers is justified as an effective way to complement other procurement options and help clients achieve COVID-19 projects’ development objectives on a fit-for-purpose basis.\n\n**C.** **Legal Operational Policies**\n\n84. The table below indicates whether legal operational policies will be triggered.\n\n**Table 4. Legal operational policies triggered**\n\n**Triggered?**\n\nProjects on International Waterways OP 7.50 No Projects in Disputed Areas OP 7.60 No .\n\n**D.** **Environmental and Social Standards**\n\n**Environmental aspects:**\n85. **The project’s environmental risk rating is Substantial** . The main environmental risks include: (i) environmental and community health related risks from inadequate storage, transportation and disposal of infected medical waste; (ii) occupational health and safety issues related to the availability and supply of PPE for healthcare workers and the logistical challenges in transporting PPE across the country in a timely manner; and (iii) community health and safety risks given close social contact and limited sanitary and hygiene services (clean Page 26", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) water, soap, disinfectants) and isolation capabilities at health facilities across the country. The project will finance the rehabilitation and equipping of selected primary health care facilities and hospitals to improve their ability to deliver critical medical services including testing, treatment and hospitalization. The Government has elaborated the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) which sets out material measures and actions as well as the timing for each of these. This document was disclosed in the World Bank on April 9, 2020 and in-country on April 17, 2020. While it is expected that the negative risks and adverse impacts related to the implementation of project activities are likely to be limited, the PCU will develop an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) to provide clear guidance regarding the treatment of medical waste and the preparation of subproject Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) when required by the ESMF screening approach. The ESMF will contain provisions for storing, transporting, and disposing of contaminated medical waste and outline guidance in line with good international industry practice and WHO standards on COVID-19 response on limiting viral contagion in healthcare facilities. The relevant parts of the WHO COVID-19 quarantine guidelines and COVID-19 biosafety guidelines will be reviewed so that all relevant occupational and community health and safety risks and mitigation measures will be covered. In addition, the ESMF will include measures to address gender-based violence and sexual exploitation and abuse (GBV/SEA) and outline the principles for the establishment of a functioning grievance redress mechanism (GRM). The ESMF will be finalized and publicly disclosed and consulted – taking into account the necessary precautions for physical distancing – no later than 30 days after Project effectiveness.\n\n86. **An additional risk that will also need to be mitigated is the fact that the existing PCU for the World Bank-**\n**funded Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement (REDISSE IV, P167817)** which is expected to\nsupport the implementation of this project, does not currently have a qualified environmental specialist and a social specialist that have experience working with the World Bank. The recruitment process is ongoing and needs to be terminated before the commencement of project activities with potential social or environmental impacts. As soon as qualified staff is on board, capacity building will be supported by the project including training on the Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), recruitment of specialized staff and support from third party entities to assist with M&E. In addition, full time specialists for the communication strategy, public health awareness and implementation of the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) will be necessary given the highly specific nature of this effort. These specialists will need to be contracted no later than one month after Project effectiveness.\n\n**Social aspects:**\n\n87. **The social risk rating of the project is Substantial.** One key social risk related to the COVID-19 operations in general is that vulnerable social groups (poor, disabled, refugees, elderly, isolated communities) may be unable to access facilities and services, which could increase their vulnerability and undermine the general objectives of the project. Other social risks include the rise of social tensions that could be exacerbated by the lack of awareness regarding the behavior change required to decrease transmission (social physical distancing, hand washing and hygiene), stigma associated with victims of COVID-19 and their families, perceived exclusion from key health facilities and services and misinformation regarding how COVID-19 is transmitted and prevented.\nSome of these risks will be addressed under Component 1 that will finance community engagement activities and information sharing and these activities are reflected in the draft SEP that has been prepared and disclosed in-country on April 17, 2020 and in the World Bank since April 9, 2020. After project approval, the SEP will be updated to include more information regarding the methodologies for information sharing in fragile and conflict settings, including in refugee camps, stakeholder mapping and identification of existing community Page 27", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) based platforms that can be used to facilitate effective community engagement and participation.

Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address projectrelated concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service\n[(GRS), please visit: http://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/products-and-services/grievance-](http://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/products-and-services/grievance-redress-service)\n[redress-service.

KEY RISKS**\n\n89. **The overall project risk rating is substantial** . The project is supporting the Government effort to prevent and control COVID-19. One of the World Bank’s principal concern is to ensure that project funds are used economically and efficiently for the intended purpose. Risks in three of the eight categories are High due to political and governance factors, macroeconomic challenges and weak institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability. Fiduciary and environmental and social risks are rated Substantial. Risks related to sector strategies and policies, technical design and stakeholders are all rated Moderate.\n\n90. **Political and governance risk is rated as high** . This is due to a lack of accountability measures to ensure that resources supporting COVID-19 activities reach intended health care facilities and beneficiaries. As mitigation measures, the project will ensure that there is internal and external auditing, as well as publication of audit reports and achievement.\n\n91. **Macroeconomic risk is rated as high.** The fiscal capacity of the Government is going to be weakened due to global economic disruption and slowdown, and potential unavailability of fiscal resources. This would negatively impact public health service delivery with respect to COVID-19 prevention, mitigation, and treatment, in addition to other essential health service delivery. To mitigate the impacts, the World Bank is supporting long-term the capacity of the Government to undertake disease surveillance by funding a REDISSE project. Furthermore, the World Bank is also financing another project to strengthen maternal and child health care services.\n\n92. **Institutional capacity risk is rated as high** . The human resource capacity in Chad is weak and there is inadequate institutional capacity to manage project and perform effectively to contain and mitigate the impact of COVID-19. As mitigation measures, the project will work with UN agencies and local organizations to provide TA to the project.\n\nPage 28", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894) 93. **The residual Fiduciary risk is rated as substantial.** The PCU has experience in coordinating World Bank-financed projects, shortcomings were identified in the past and implementing a project in a situation of urgent need poses additional risks. Internal controls will be strengthened by effective internal audit activities. The Recipient will contract with UN Agencies (UNOPS, WHO and UNICEF) and the World Bank has undertaken a fiduciary assessment, hence UN FM procedures will apply.

The project will require support throughout project implementation, but it is anticipated that more\nintense support will be needed at two points of project implementation; during the first 12 months (from approval to effectiveness and through early implementation) and at mid-term review (MTR). A broad range of skills is required for the World Bank to effectively support project implementation. The implementation support team will include specialists in administrative and FM, procurement; public health (including disease surveillance, and laboratory specialists); safeguards, management; social mobilization/advocacy, training, M&E, and operations.\nThe procurement specialist will carry out annual _ex-post_ review of procurement that falls below prior review thresholds and will have separate focused missions depending on the procurement needs that arise. There will also be training in the use of the STEP and the new World Bank Procurement Framework. The FM specialist will review all FM reports and audits and take necessary follow-up actions according to World Bank procedures. World Bank team members will also identify capacity building needs to ensure successful project implementation. With only a limited allocation of budget to the project expected in 2020, implementation support in the first year of the project will focus on creating project implementation momentum through institutional capacity strengthening and TA.\n\n2. The World Bank team will undertake implementation support missions (supervision missions) related to the timely coordination of the pandemic response. A MTR will be organized by the World Bank to take stock of project implementation and to identify corrective actions or adjustments as necessary. At project end, the World Bank team will prepare an Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) that summarizes achievements made under the project. Alternative and adaptive ways to supervise the project will be considered to take into account the potential travel restrictions occasioned by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These include, among other, the use of GEMS.\n\n3. Development partners are expected to provide TA, and procurement operational support, to strengthen the implementation of select project activities, in line with their respective mandates. The WHO, with its incountry expertise across a wide range of relevant topics (including non-communicable diseases management, various communicable diseases, information systems, and health systems) will continue to be an important technical partner. UNICEF and UNOPS will have both a technical and an operational role with respect to the procurement. The World Bank team will coordinate its implementation support with these partners to get the most value-for-money, avoid duplication, and exploit synergies.\n\n4. Generally, progress monitoring will focus on: (i) key performance indicators, as identified in the Results Framework; (ii) progress of implementation of the project components; (iii) progress in relation to implementation and procurement plans; (iv) whether estimated project costs are sufficient to cover planned activities and whether reallocation of credit funds is required; (v) compliance with World Bank FM and disbursement provisions; and (vi) compliance with environmental and social safeguards.\n\nPage 36", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nChad COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Project (P173894)\n\n**Table 2.1.

Country Context**\n\n1. **Turkey has high growth potential, but recent shocks have affected the sustainability of its economic gains since**\n\n**the early 2000s.** After the Global Financial Crisis in 2008-2009, growth has been increasingly fueled by credit booms\nand rapid accumulation of (mostly foreign exchange) private sector debt, together with short-term stimulus policy.\nThese led to declining productivity and growing macroeconomic imbalances in late 2017/early 2018. The situation was compounded by exogenous factors including multiple election cycles, regional conflict, and difficult international relations. The ensuing volatility in growth has affected the sustainability of Turkey’s economic gains.\n\n2. **Economic vulnerabilities that had accumulated over the past 4 years came to a head in mid-2018.** Policy stimulus in the aftermath of the 2016 failed coup attempt led to economic overheating. Though growth accelerated to 7.4 percent in 2017, this came at a cost of double-digit inflation and a large current account deficit. A hardening of external economic conditions in mid-2018, together with tense international relations, led to a collapse in the Lira.\nThis profoundly affected the real and financial sectors. Corporations and banks suffered due to high foreign exchange debt, annual inflation peaked at 25 percent in October 2018, the economy went into recession in 2018, and unemployment spiked from 10 percent in January 2018 to 14 percent in June 2019 (World Bank 2019a, 2019b).\n\n3. **The Turkish economy over the past 12 months has experienced major adjustments.** Current account imbalances have declined, banks have reduced their external exposure and portfolio flows have started to recover. These adjustments have lessened external vulnerabilities that had accumulated in the run up to the August 2018 currency shock. They have also contributed to a more stable Lira, notwithstanding bouts of currency volatility. There has also been steady disinflation over this period. These developments were supported by selected policy responses and accommodative global monetary conditions. Even so, foreign exchange reserves have gotten eroded over the past two years, exposing Turkey to external market pressure.\n\n4. **Stagnating output, high costs of production, and high consumer prices have led to significant job losses and falling**\n\n**real wages.** Unemployment among the youth is particularly high, jumping from 19 percent to 25 percent between\nMay 2018 and May 2019. Average real wages declined by 2.6 percent between 2017 and 2018, though have picked up more recently due to adjustments to the minimum wage. Poorer households have been most impacted because many low-income workers are employed in construction and agriculture – the sectors that saw the biggest decline in jobs. Moreover, the long-term impact of the real wage effects is greater for the poorest households since they have limited coping mechanisms.\n\n5. **Turkey now faces a two-fold challenge:** in the near-term to extricate itself from a downturn while inflation is high (albeit declining), the external environment is uncertain, and firms are struggling with debt; and to put in place appropriate policy and institutional settings to support a shift to a sustainable-medium term growth model. The pace and sustainability of Turkey’s recovery will depend on reducing economic uncertainty backed by consistent policy mix. The economy has stabilized in the short-term. GDP is projected to rebound to 3 percent and 4 percent in 2020 and 2021, respectively. However, given the high degree of uncertainty in the global outlook, restoring confidence and reducing domestic risk premia with appropriate monetary stance and effective fiscal policy would be key for sustaining recovery. Rigorous progress in advancing structural reforms such as deepening financial markets and completing overdue labor market reforms will help to mitigate vulnerabilities, and support growth in the medium term.\n\nPage 7 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) 6. **Turkey is both a transit and reception country for migrants and refugees and, globally, the country hosts the**\n\n**highest number of refugees.** **[1]** As a result of the crisis in its southern border with Syria, Turkey has been hosting an\nincreasing number of refugees and foreigners seeking international protection. In addition to hosting more than 3.6 million Syrians [2], who are under temporary protection, there are an estimated 400,000 asylum seekers and refugees from other nationalities. The country’s refugee response has been progressive and provides a model to other countries hosting refugees. However, the magnitude of the refugee and migrant influx continues to pose substantial development consequences for not only the displaced but also the communities into which they settle, contributing to the expansion and overcrowding of settlements, increased demands for urban services (including water supply, sanitation and solid waste services), additional pressure on infrastructure and the urban environment, conflicts over land, and increased competition for employment, housing, and social services. These stresses stretch the limited capacity of urban local governments, including municipalities and other service providers. Apart from the large cities such as Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, many of the cities hosting a high concentration of Syrians are already located in the more vulnerable or disadvantaged provinces in Turkey, which exacerbates the development challenges.\n\n7. **The Government of Turkey (GT) spent an estimated EUR 31 billion to meet the needs of refugees and hosting**\n\n**communities from the beginning of the Syrian crisis to 2017.** **[3]** This includes the provision of free healthcare and\neducation possibilities, as well as allowing legal access to the labor market. The international community has also provided over EUR 4 billion since 2016, of which 95 percent is from the European Union (EU). [4] This includes the first tranche of the EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey (FRiT), which is an EUR 3 billion fund launched in 2016, designed to support the GoT hosting refugees, EUR 600 million EU support outside of the FRiT, and over EUR 400 million in bilateral support from EU countries. Other donors, UN agencies, international, national and local civil society organizations, as well as International Financial Institutions (IFIs), have also been playing an important role in Turkey’s refugee response, implementing a diverse range of programs and projects, accounting for over EUR 200 million.\nThese efforts have been geared primarily towards facilitating refugee access to existing public services while strengthening the capacity and responsiveness of state institutions at the national and local levels.\n\n**B.

The Bank in its proposal to the EU to access the grant made a strategic choice to limit the focus areas to the WSS and solid waste sub-sectors to reduce the complexity of the project scope given the limited implementation period and available resources. Other development partners were subsequently invited by the GoT through ILBANK to address the other municipal services under the fifth priority area.\n\n10. **The WSS sector has undergone several reforms over the years and roles are currently distributed among several**\n\n**institutions.** The 1926 Water Law places the overall responsibility for water resources management at the state level.\nThis was confirmed in the Constitution of 1982 that provided that the state owns the right to explore and operate these natural resources but can transfer this right to private institutions for a defined period. Municipalities are responsible for WSS services in their respective areas. In 1984, starting with Istanbul, Turkey created 16 “metropolitan municipalities [7] ” (MM) by consolidating the municipalities in the main urban areas. The _Su Ve_ _Kanalizayson Idaresi_ (General Directorate of Water and Wastewater Administration) “SKI” is established in every metropolitan municipality to manage water supply and sanitation (WSS) services in accordance with the provisions of Law No 2560. SKIs are public entities or utilities that are affiliated with the metropolitan municipality and have an autonomous budget. A new law that came into effect on March 31, 2014, created 14 new metropolitan municipalities and SKIs and extended the service area of all metropolitan municipalities to cover the entire province. As a result, there are 30 SKIs responsible for providing WSS services to about 77 percent of the population. Other smaller municipalities provide WSS services through municipal departments. Special provincial administrations (SPAs) provide services in non-municipal areas. Responsibility for solid waste management rests with the respective municipalities.\n\n11. **Goal 6 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6) calls for** _**Ensuring Availability and**_ _**Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation for All**_ **.** The goal addresses water supply, sanitation and hygiene (SDG Targets 6.1 and 6.2), treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater (Target 6.3), increasing efficiency and ensuring sustainable withdrawals (Target 6.4), and protection of water-related ecosystems (Target 6.6) as part of an integrated approach to water resources management (Target 6.5). It also focuses attention on the links between development outcomes and means of implementation (6a and 6b). The Goal specifically seeks to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030. While Turkey is considered to be advanced in terms of availability of water and sanitation services for most of its population in terms of overall access, sustainable management [8] of these services remains a challenge in many municipalities. Moreover, climate change is expected to compound this challenge. [9] 5 [Municipal services may cover a broad range of basic services that include, inter alia, sanitation (both wastewater/excreta management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_services)\n[and solid waste), water supply, recreational facilities, street cleaning services, public libraries, schools, food inspection, fire services, law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water)\n[enforcement, ambulance and other health department services, and transportation..](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambulance) 6 EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey - Updated Needs Assessment 2018: _[https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-](https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/sites/near/files/updated_needs_assessment.pdf)_ _[enlargement/sites/near/files/updated_needs_assessment.pdf](https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/sites/near/files/updated_needs_assessment.pdf)_ 7 Metropolitan municipalities represent municipalities with population in excess of 750,000 people.\n8 Sustainable WSS services are able to effectively deliver adequate consumer needs and are economically and financially viable, socially acceptable, technically and institutionally appropriate, and protect the environment and natural resources.\n9 A 2016 Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for Turkey, prepared by the World Bank, concluded that, given its large population and high Page 9 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) 12. **The sixth target under SDG 11 focuses on reducing the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including**\n\n**by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management by 2030.** Progress towards\nthis target is to be monitored though measurement of the proportion of urban solid waste regularly collected and with adequate final discharge. Municipal solid waste is one of the major environmental problems in Turkey. While most of the population receives waste collection services, the majority of solid waste is not disposed in accordance with the relevant legal requirements and standards, and about 44 percent of the collected municipal waste is disposed to dump sites. Uncontrolled and illegal disposal methods like dumping and discharge into rivers and lakes also occur in several parts of the country.\n\n13. **A World Bank Sector Note on Sustainable Urban Water Supply in Turkey** **[10]** **cited increasing water demand and**\n\n**scarcity in Turkey, with the cumulative water demand for domestic, industrial, and irrigation uses expected to**\n**exceed the water available before the end of the century.** Water demand is expected to increase from 43 billion m [3]\nin 2015 to 54 billion m [3] by 2020 and to 62 billion m [3] by 2100, with models predicting that the decrease in water availability will be more severe in central provinces and provinces located on the southern and western shores of Turkey. There is therefore a need for increased efficiency in the use of water resources especially in these regions.\n\n14. **While piped water coverage is relatively high in Turkey, more than 40 percent of water is distributed untreated,**\n\n**which increases risks linked to poor water quality, including to public health.** According to Municipal Water\nStatistics prepared by TURKSTAT in 2018, 99 percent of the population living in municipalities has access to piped water supply, however only 60 percent are served by a water treatment plant. The municipalities targeted in this project face significant water supply service challenges, including poor quality water due to inadequate water treatment facilities. Thus, based on the SDG definition of a safely managed drinking water service as one located on premises, available when needed and free from contamination, the municipalities are out of compliance with these service requirements, putting Turkey at risk of not fulfilling the SDG goal if not addressed. Service efficiency is also an issue, with utilities having high Non-Revenue Water (NRW), in some cases with over 50 percent losses, due to ageing or sub-optimally maintained transmission and distribution infrastructure. NRW in utilities averages about 36 percent country-wide.\n\n15. **Similarly, while access to sewage networks is relatively high, a significant proportion of wastewater is discharged**\n\n**untreated into the environment.** According to TURKSTAT Municipal Wastewater Statistics for 2016, 90 percent of\nthe population living in municipalities are served with a sewage network. However, only 70 percent of the population is served with a wastewater treatment plant. In individual municipalities coverage is lower, and the quality of sewerage infrastructure is inadequate, resulting in sewage leakages. These conditions not only impact the environment, but also lead to significant increases in operation and maintenance costs of the systems. With higher populations, impacts on the environment are increased. The current situation in the areas with no wastewater treatment puts the affected municipalities out of compliance with the SDGs, which define safely managed sanitation, as the use of an improved sanitation facility which is not shared with other households and where excreta is safely disposed in-situ or is transported and treated off-site. Access to safely managed [11] water supply and sanitation services at the neighborhood level in individual municipalities, especially in the lower income neighborhoods in urban level of water consumption, the country faces a significant water security threat from climate change—to manifest itself as potential droughts associated with the rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and reduced seasonal snow storage.\n10 Republic of Turkey - Sustainable Urban Water Supply and Sanitation, World Bank, 2016.\n11 According to the definition from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a safely managed drinking water service is defined as one located on premises, available when needed and free from contamination.

The provinces located in the South Eastern part of Turkey in particular, which remain the prime target of the Turkish Government’s development program, have seen the greatest negative impact in this regard. In individual municipalities, access to safely managed [12] water supply services at the neighborhood level is an issue, especially in the lower income neighborhoods and settlements which are inhabited by both Turkish citizens and refugees or SUTPs.\n\n17. **There is evidence that existing solid waste disposal capacities in some affected municipalities are being strained**\n\n**due to the refugee influx in affected areas.** This increase in waste generation has an impact on the lifetime of waste\ncollection vehicles and equipment, as well as disposal sites. While solid waste collection rates in Turkey are relatively high, a significant proportion of the waste is not disposed properly in landfills. According to the 2016 National Waste Management Plan and Action Plan (NWMP&AP) data, just over 60 percent of the municipal waste is sent to sanitary landfills, 28 percent is dumped into municipal dumpsites, and 11 percent was reported as recycled, composted or disposed of by other methods.\n\n18. **Turkey’s rapid industrialization and urbanization growth during the last two decades has caused its environmental**\n\n**footprint to increase rapidly, with total GHG emissions rising from 208 MtCO2e (in 1990) to 526 MtCO2e (in 2017)** **[13]** **.**\nAt the same time, climate change is further exacerbating already observed vulnerabilities and environmental risks, such as the intense flash floods in the Marmara region in September 2009, with 32 human losses and more than US$100 million of economic damage, as well as the recent floods in July-August 2019 in Northeastern Turkey. While there are no detailed climate change assessments that reflect conditions at each individual municipality level, Turkey has the highest risk of water safety in the arid and semi-arid regions including the Southeast, Central Anatolia, Aegean and Mediterranean. Most of the projections suggest a temperature increase of 3–4 °C on average across Turkey (from 2041 to 2070) [14] and uneven changes in the precipitation patterns, which are in turn expected to impact a number of sectors, including the availability of water resources across the country and the incidence of floods, associated with intense precipitation and coastal storms. Climate change impacts are expected to lead to more frequent and severe climate extreme events, including droughts (as highlighted in footnote 9), which could result in a disruption of critical municipal services and pose additional challenges to the existing urban infrastructure and well-being of the urban population.

It also provides the means to invest in mitigation and strengthening a range of such climate adaptation measures in municipalities, which are increasingly susceptible to climate change risks.\n\n21. **Given the strain that the refugee influx has generated on water, wastewater and solid waste services, grant**\n\n**financing has been extended in the amount of EUR 139,812,400** **[15]** **by the European Development Fund (EDF) under**\n**the Municipal Infrastructure Window of the FRiT and the ILBANK has requested an IBRD loan in the amount of EUR**\n**135,355,000 for a project to support municipal services improvements in several municipalities impacted by**\n**refugees.** The targeted municipalities were selected from a list of ten affected areas identified through the 2018 EU\nNeeds Assessment, based on criteria such as the number of refugees and the magnitude and scope of municipal infrastructure needs. At the time of appraisal, sub-projects in five municipalities: Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Osmaniye, Kayseri and Konya, were identified to participate in the project based on eligibility criteria described under Section III below (Project Description). These municipalities had a total population of about 7.4 million people in 2018, including about 540,000 registered refugees. They already suffer from significant operational problems such as high water losses, inadequate water treatment facilities, ageing WSS infrastructure, inadequate solid waste management, and lack of wastewater treatment.\n\n**C. Relevance to Higher Level Objectives**\n\n22. **The World Bank Group views the development challenge of forced displacement as a corporate priority and a long-**\n\n**term challenge that must be addressed to attain the Bank’s twin goals of reducing poverty and achieving shared**\n**prosperity.** The project would leverage the important partnership with the European Union which is providing grant\nsupport from the EU FRIT to be blended with proposed IBRD to support targeted municipalities in Turkey in addressing the increased pressure from Syrian refugees. Other development partners, such as the French 15 The project is expected to receive grant funding from the second tranche of the European Commission’s Facility for Refugees in Turkey (FRIT), in the amount of about Euro 134,219,904, excluding World Bank fees, remuneration and Bank executed operational costs. An application for the grant financing was submitted by the World Bank on March 15, 2019, and the EC through a letter dated May 27, 2019 authorized the Bank to formally negotiate the details of the project with the EU delegation in Turkey, to lead to a formal Contribution Agreement. Signing of the Administration Agreement (AA) between the World Bank and the EC for the Grant is subject to finalization of an update to the 2016 World Bank Group-EU Framework Agreement, which is under discussion by the parties. Accordingly, the grant financing is reflected as a financing gap in the Project documentation until the AA has been signed.\n\nPage 12 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": ["2018 EU Needs Assessment"], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) Development Agency (AFD), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and European Investment Bank (EIB) will also engage in supporting implementation of municipal infrastructure projects in other municipalities not covered by the World Bank.\n\n23. **The proposed project is consistent with the World Bank Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Turkey for the**\n\n**FY 2018-2021** **[16]** **period, discussed by the Board on August 29, 2017 (Report No. 11096-TR), and is aligned with the**\n**objectives of Turkey’s 11th Development Plan (2019–2023).** The CPF is based on the findings of the Systematic\nCountry Diagnostic (finalized in 2016) that highlighted water availability and sustainable use as being key challenges for Turkey’s future development. The CPF has three focus areas: (1) Growth; (2) Inclusion; and (3) Sustainability.\nUnder Focus Area 2 (“Inclusion”) the WBG support in this area aims to consolidate Turkey’s success towards achieving the twin goals while also supporting efforts to reach those who are left behind. An important evolution of the WBG program in this CPF area has been and will continue to be the introduction of new investment operations financed by the EU’s FRiT which specifically sets the target to improve the situation of Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTPs) (or refugees [17] ) in Turkey. Under Focus Area 3 (“Sustainability”) the Project will support the Strategic Objective 8 to improve sustainability and resilience of cities, specifically against the climate change-related risks of floods and droughts, and Strategic Objective 9, to increase sustainability of infrastructure assets and natural capital.\n\n**II.** **PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE**\n\n**.Project Development Objective**\n\n24. The project development objective is to improve host and refugee communities access to safely managed [18] water supply, sanitation [19] and solid waste services in selected municipalities affected by the influx of Syrians Under Temporary Protection in Turkey.\n\n**B. PDO Level Indicators**\n\n25. The key results (PDO level indicators) are presented below:\n\n- Total number of people benefitting from safely managed drinking water services in the selected municipalities as\na result of the project (out of which female (%); host population (number); refugees (number))\n\n- Total number of people benefitting from safely managed sanitation services in the selected municipalities as a\nresult of the project (out of which female (%); host population (number); refugees (number))\n\n- Total number of people benefitting from safely managed solid waste services in the selected municipalities as a\nresult of the project (out of which female (%)); host population (number); refugees (number)) 15 Refer to Report No. 11096-TR: _[http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/585411504231252220/pdf/Turkey-CPF-08072017.pdf](http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/585411504231252220/pdf/Turkey-CPF-08072017.pdf)_ 17 Refugees in this context include both SUTPs and other refugees from other countries living among host communities includes Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and others, who are under the status of international Protection.\n18 Safely managed water supply focuses on ‘accessibility’, ‘availability’, and ‘quality’, and is defined as drinking water from an improved water source which is located on premises, available when needed and free of faecal and priority contamination. ‘Improved’ sources are those that are potentially capable of delivering safe water by nature of their design and construction, including piped water, boreholes or tube wells, protected dug wells, protected springs, and rainwater.\n19 Safely managed sanitation refers to the use of improved facilities which are not shared with other households and where excreta are safely disposed in-situ or transported and treated off-site before disposal. Sanitation in this context mainly refers to wastewater and excreta management services.\n\nPage 13 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996)\n\n**C. Project Beneficiaries**\n\n26. A total of about 3.3 million people, including refugees and host communities in the municipalities targeted under this project (out of which about 50 percent are women) are expected to benefit from the project. Of these, approximately 301,890 refugees (or 9 percent of the total beneficiaries) and 3,021,000 of the host population are expected to benefit directly from the municipal investments. Other beneficiaries will include the municipalities and municipal service providers (water and wastewater utilities) in the project areas, who will benefit from capacity building efforts financed through Component 2 to improve their capacity to more effectively manage the operation and maintenance of the environmental infrastructure, as well as commercial operations such as handling all their customers in an equitable and socially sensitive manner, in order to provide sustainable services that take into consideration climate change mitigation and adaptation aspects. ILBANK will also benefit from training in overall project management of operations involving refugee affected areas. The project is an opportunity for continued learning to the Government of Turkey, the World Bank, and other key stakeholders on an adequate business model for improving municipal service interventions in the context of situations of urgent need due to forced urban migration or displacement.\n\n**III.** **PROJECT DESCRIPTION**\n\n**A. Project Components**\n\n27. The Project will finance environmental infrastructure investments and technical assistance (TA) through the provision of sub-loans and/or grants to support selected municipalities in dealing with the increased pressure on the defined municipal services, in particular water supply, sanitation and solid waste management, in a sustainable [20] and equitable manner, taking into account the needs of the entire population including the most vulnerable among host and SUTP populations. The activities will also aim to enhance the resilience of the infrastructure, as well as that of the targeted communities to climate change–exacerbated risks such as droughts, floods, and degraded water quality, and also raise awareness of the mitigation measures to be derived from improved efficiency of the water supply and sanitation service delivery and improved solid waste management. The Project design ensures that careful attention is paid to gender and citizen engagement corporate priorities in the World Bank, both of which are central to the development of an inclusive and responsive approach to development among the host and SUTP communities.\n\n28. **Municipality and Sub-project eligibility.** The Project funds will be channeled through a public, national-level financial intermediary banking institution, ILBANK, which will in turn on-lend or on-grant it, as applicable to a number of municipalities or utilities (SKIs) based on a framework approach for sub-projects that meet eligibility criteria for participating in the project. Eligible municipalities were identified in the EU Needs Assessment. At appraisal, subprojects in five municipalities: Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Osmaniye, Kayseri and Konya, meeting the above criteria were identified to participate in the project. The eligibility criteria for sub-projects will be defined in the Project Operational Manual (POM), and include, _inter alia_ : (a) a significant presence of SUTP in the host municipality as identified in the EU Needs Assessment; and (b) municipal investments aligned with the PDO that are: (i) technically feasible; (ii) economically and financially viable; (iii) demand and needs driven, and that demonstrate substantial readiness, including having approved feasibility studies, detailed designs and draft safeguards documentation in line with World Bank ESF requirements; (iv) environmentally sustainable and in compliance with, and can be designed and implemented in manner incompliance with the Bank’s fiduciary (including financial and procurement) 20 Sustainability in this case addresses technical, environmental, economic/financial, and social dimensions of the project.\n\nPage 14 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) requirements, and the Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards, consistent with the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan for the project (ESCP), and the Environmental and Social Instruments; (v) that do not trigger World Bank Operational Policy (OP) 7.50 (Projects on International Waterways); and (iv) that involve no new dams or dams under construction. All sub-projects to be financed from the grant and loan are subject to approval by ILBANK and the World Bank and EUD, as applicable [21] . ILBANK follows the financial eligibility criteria in accordance with the existing _Law on Regulating Public Finance and Debt Management (Law No. 4749)_ which restricts borrowing by any institution if it has overdue payments to Treasury for its on-lending to each municipality. Municipalities/utilities would be required to provide a Municipal Resolution/Utility Board decision stating that project financing would be sought for the proposed subprojects. Where the sub-borrower is a utility/SKI, a guarantee from the metropolitan municipality is also required. In the solid waste management sector, the grant beneficiary/ loan sub-borrower will be the municipality in line with existing institutional roles, while the beneficiary / sub-borrower for the WSS sectors will either be the municipality or utility /SKI with a guarantee provided by the municipality. Proposed activities are summarized below and the indicative breakdown of activities by financing source is presented in Table 2.1 (Annex 2).\n\n29. **The IBRD loan and EU FRIT grant will co-finance** **[22]** **the project as a single project, although each financier will finance**\n\n**separate individually identifiable activities as indicatively detailed in Annex 2 (Table A 2.1).** An indicative list of\nactivities to be financed from the loan and the grant was provided by ILBANK at appraisal. Activities financed from both sources will be implemented seamlessly in parallel under a single Procurement Plan prepared by ILBANK and approved by the World Bank during appraisal, and a single Project Implementation Plan to be prepared by ILBANK no later than 30 days after loan effectiveness. Both Plans will be reviewed and updated annually as needed. The Procurement Plan will identify the source of funding for each activity with prior approval by the Bank, although the rules for implementation will be exactly the same for both sources of funds.\n\n30. **Component 1. Environmental Infrastructure Investments (Euro 254.98 million (US$280.34 million equivalent), of**\n\n**which EU Grant is Euro 132.33 million** **[23]** **(US$145.49 equivalent) and IBRD loan is Euro 122.65 (US$134.83**\n**equivalent):** This component will finance environmental infrastructure investments through the provision of subloans and/or grants to selected municipalities for goods, works, non-consulting and consulting services required to\ncarry out construction and rehabilitation works for water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management infrastructure in those municipalities to achieve improvements in access, service quality and continuity of municipal services; as well as smaller scale critical facilities to address immediate municipal service needs of vulnerable SUTP and host communities at the neighborhood or settlement level, to be identified in a participatory manner by the beneficiaries. Individual infrastructure facilities will, where appropriate, consider adaptive designs that would allow for a scaling up or down of capacity in the event of unanticipated changes in the refugee population or climate change-related extreme weather events. An indicative program of proposed sub-projects with investments to be financed through this component was pre-identified in the selected municipalities at appraisal (see Table 1 in Section V, A) of this document). Envisaged investments in water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management are described below.\n\na) **Water Supply Investments (Estimated Cost Euro 145.93 million of which IBRD loan is Euro 104.65 million**\n\n**and EU Grant is Euro 41.28 million).** This activity will finance water supply investments, including for the: (i)\n\n21 EUD approval will be required for grant financed sub-projects 22 Please see footnote 15 which is applicable for all further references to the grant financing in this document.\n23 An additional contingency amount for investments in the amount of about Euro 984,904 is allowed for in the grant amount, bringing the total grant amount to Euro 134,219,904.

All these activities will increase the supply of (treated) water and, combined with sanitation investments, will decrease the volume of untreated wastewater discharged into water bodies, thereby raising the targeted communities’ resilience to droughts and poor-quality water. The priority interventions at the household or neighborhood level under (v) above will be identified in a participatory manner with the beneficiary communities and the respective municipalities early on during implementation to respond to specific people-facing priorities in terms of spatial or facility targeting, and could include facilities such as provision of additional access points, laundry facilities, etc. Investments under this component are expected to contribute to improved access to safely managed water supply in the targeted areas by augmenting existing capacities, improving quality of services among host and refugee populations, and raising the targeted communities’ resilience to droughts and poor-quality water. Water supply and sanitation investments will be designed to address climate change adaptation and mitigation through measures aimed at increased energy efficiency, such as: installation of energy-efficient pumping systems; reduction of non-revenue water (NRW); and system monitoring and regulation, with automation through SCADA systems. All three of these activities are expected to result in energy efficiency gains.\n\nb) **Sanitation investments (Estimated Cost Euro 91.07 million of which IBRD loan is Euro 18.00 million and EU**\n\n**Grant Euro 73.07 million)** . This activity will finance sanitation investments in selected municipalities, including\nfor the: (i) construction of new wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) or interventions to increase their capacity; (ii) construction of new or rehabilitation or extension of existing sewerage collection networks; or (iii) targeted priority sanitation/or related public hygiene facilities to address immediate needs such as toilets in the most vulnerable settlements among host and refugee communities, to be identified in consultation with the communities, municipalities and SKIs; and (iv) other demand-driven sanitation investments as approved by the Bank. Extension or construction of the wastewater collection network is expected to decrease the amount of uncontrolled discharges to receiving bodies and the construction of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to improve the quality of discharges to receiving bodies. These activities will thus not only reduce the volume of contaminated floodwaters in case of flooding but also reduce the likelihood of wastewater infrastructure becoming overwhelmed or damaged during a flood, thereby increasing the targeted communities’ resilience to floods. Priority sanitation facilities at the neighborhood level will be identified in a participatory manner with the beneficiary communities and the municipalities early during implementation, and appropriate designs will be prepared in an adaptive manner to respond to specific people-facing priorities in terms of spatial or facility targeting, use of appropriate technologies such as semi-permanent structures that respond to land tenure constraints, etc. Investments under this component are expected to contribute to improved access to safely managed sanitation resulting in reduced environmental degradation and improved living conditions and environment in the targeted areas.\n\nc) **Solid waste Investments (Estimated Cost Euro 17.00 million of which IBRD loan is Euro 0 and EU Grant is**\n\n**Euro 17.00 million).** Identified investments under this component will include construction of a new solid\nwaste landfill in one municipality, closing of existing dumpsites, and provision of waste collection and transfer equipment and construction of two transfer stations in targeted municipalities, and other demand driven solid Page 16 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) waste management investments as approved by the Bank.

NRW reduction is expected to support utilities better withstand climate shocks to water supply, including water scarcity and drought, while reducing GHG emissions from pumping and treatment activities. Given the existing and future climate vulnerabilities, including the risk river and urban floods, and water scarcity, all project investments will account for climate aspects in their design.\nThe WSS activities, especially those addressing wastewater, will be designed in a flood-resilient manner to ensure environmentally sound and safe transport and treatment of wastewater. For the SWM activities, a regional solid waste management approach creates a more resilient solid waste management system since transport and waste disposal will be streamlined, following the operations and maintenance manual, and will follow safe, environmentally-sound practices to withstand rain and natural disasters. By transitioning from non-sanitary landfills to sanitary landfills, the waste system is expected to significantly improve how heavy storms and flooding affect the 24 The Delegation of the European Union to Turkey will be consulted on communications and visibility activities during implementation to ensure that the Communications and Visibility Plan is implemented in accordance with the Communications and Visibility Manual for EU External Actions as well as EU FRiT Visibility Guidelines.\n\n25 https://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/visibility/_en Page 18 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) surrounding environment.

The average annual net emissions are 37,983 tCO2-eq. The total lifetime gross emissions are 671,988 tCO2-eq. The net emissions for the water supply investments in Osmaniye under subcomponent 1a are -990,458 tCO2-eq due to a reduction in tanker use as beneficiaries are switched to a piped potable water supply system. The wastewater collection and treatment investments in Osmaniye under subcomponent 1b are expected to see net emissions of -95,643 tCO2-eq due to a net reduction in methane and nitrous oxide emissions from introducing wastewater treatment. The wastewater system improvements in Kayseri under subcomponent 1b are expected to see net emission reductions of -53,458 tCO2-eq due to improved treatment standards leading to a net reduction in methane missions, greater energy efficiency for treatment, and a partial switch to gravity-based systems for collection. The solid waste investments under subcomponent 1c are estimated to have net emissions of -63,962 tCO2-eq leading to to a reduction in net emissions with a shift from unmanaged to managed landfills.\n\n**B.

Rationale for Bank Involvement and Role of Partners**\n\n35. **The Bank has substantial global experience in supporting programs and managing policy dialogue to improve**\n\n**service delivery in situations of urban forced displacement.** The Bank has successfully mobilized new financing to\nsupport situations involving conflict-induced forced displacement and crowded-in funding from other donors, recognizing that forced displacement creates specific vulnerabilities for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), who often lose rights, assets, livelihoods, and social capital when they flee their homes. Bank support has been in the form of financial support, Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA) services, and operational support towards implementation of multi-donor funded programs. Globally, the Bank has supported the preparation of needs assessments for refugee host countries, ASA on affected communities, and implementation of activities for provision and expansion of basic services to accommodate the increased pressure on existing systems due to refugees.\n\n36. **The Bank’s comparative advantage in involvement in interventions in situations of forced displacement also stems**\n\n**from its strong partnerships with a wide range of actors in this space** . The Bank has partnered with various host\nstates, UN agencies, donor countries, regional organizations and the private sector, providing grant or loan resources to support critical operations in several countries. It has also used its convening power to bring together different stakeholders to share lessons across sectors. As the Bank gets more involved in refugee contexts, it is increasingly supporting the application of development approaches to nationally-led responses such as the proposed. Globally, the Bank has implemented projects tackling socio-economic challenges for very vulnerable populations, as well as displaced and refugee populations, including in Turkey, Romania, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. The Bank is also working in the socio-economic space in countries affected by conflict such as Uganda, Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Congo, Chad, Rwanda, Burundi, Myanmar, Pakistan, Yemen, and West Bank and Gaza. The World Banks’ concessional funding [27] portfolio (of US$7 billion in 2017) targeted to help conflict affected countries with large displaced and refugee populations to tackle the integration of refugees and displaced populations while also benefiting host communities.\n\n37. **In Turkey, the Bank is currently managing a diverse US$4 billion IBRD loan portfolio of investment and ASA work,**\n\n**with strong synergies to the proposed project, and is preparing five other new operations in various sectors**\n**including employment, agriculture and social cohesion to be financed under the EU FRIT 2** **[28]** . The Bank intends to\nleverage geographical and thematical synergies between these projects to develop an integrative and innovative approach, especially in municipalities which will have interventions from multiple Bank administered FRIT projects.\nSome of the relevant activities include: (a) Projects in the municipal sector with a focus on urban sustainability and resilience such as the ongoing Sustainable Cities Series of Projects 1, 2, and the Additional Financing (SCP 1, SCP 2 and SCP1-AF); (b) Analytical Work such as the Turkey Urbanization Review (April 2015), the City Creditworthiness Academy (April 2016), and Sustainable Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (June 2016); (c) the Education Infrastructure for Resilience Project (Euro 150 million) financed under FRIT I, which is working with the construction and real estate department of MoNE to construct and equip schools in provinces with a large presence of Syrian refugees; (d) technical assistance to DG Migration Management, Ministry of Interior (DGMM), on the design and implementation of the harmonization strategy for migrants; preparation of a project concept to establish harmonization centers that can serve as one-stop service centers for Syrian refugees and migrants to access legal 27 International Development Association (IDA) 28 The other four Bank projects that have been approved by the EUD for financing under FRIT II: 1. Financing to enterprises conditional on employment creation for Refugees and Turkish Citizens (P171766); 2. Employment Support and Activation of Work-Able Refugees and Turkish Citizens; 3. Agricultural Employment Support for Refugees and Turkish Citizens through Enhanced Market Linkages (P171543); 4.\nPromoting Economic Opportunities and Social Cohesion through Social Enterprises for Refugees and Host Communities (P171456) Page 20 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) services and get referrals to other services; and work with DGMM and Turkish Red Crescent to provide inclusion support services targeting the refugees residing in temporary accommodation centers; (e) Bank collaboration with MoFLSS and İŞKUR implementing an EU financed operation (under FRIT I) aimed to improve employment outcomes for Syrian refugees and Turkish Citizens in select localities affected by the influx of Syrian refugees; (f) the Bank’s Social Development and Labor and Skills teams piloting social entrepreneurship as a model to help women who are locality bound but want to be economically active; (g) the Bank’s Finance and Competitiveness team implementing a lending project that facilitates access to credit to enterprises in localities that experienced a large influx of Syrian refugees, to catalyze job creation; and (h) the Bank’s Labor and Skills team working with MoFLSS and İŞKUR on demand-side analytics, to identify critical occupations and skills in demand in the 10 provinces with the largest influx of Syrian refugees.\n\n38. **The Bank has established good collaboration with development partners working in Turkey, including the EU,**\n\n**which is co-financing the current operation, the French Development Agency (AFD), which is preparing to**\n**implement similar projects in different affected municipalities, and several international and locally based NGOs,**\n**and will work in close collaboration with these partners throughout project implementation.** The EUD has allocated\na total of Euro 6 billion in two tranches over a period of six years (2016-2023) to Turkey to support the country in managing the influx of SUTPs, with about Euro 380 million allocated to improvement of municipal infrastructure services, to be administered by various development partners including the Bank.\n\n**D. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design**\n\n39. The project will incorporate important lessons captured from the implementation of World Bank-financed projects across the globe and in Turkey. Lessons learned that are reflected in the project design are described in the following paragraphs.\n\n- **Having a strong pre-identified investment pipeline ensures project readiness that is critical for successful**\n**implementation.** The project included 15 sub-projects at appraisal stage, for which the majority of the feasibility\nstudies and technical designs for entire municipal investments were available.\n\n- **An integrated approach that targets both host communities and refugees and combines** _**place-based**_ **and**\n_**people-based**_ **methods is critical when designing an emergency response, which in this case spills over into the**\n**development stage given increasing integration of refugees with host communities.** Given the integration of\nmost of the refugees among host communities and the shift in locating refugees from dedicated camps to regular urban settlements, the project has adopted a development-oriented ‘place-based’ response for improving services and infrastructure in the urban areas that are most affected by the forced displacement crisis. Thus, it will specifically identify and prioritize in consultation with municipalities the most affected neighborhoods or settlements, combined with ‘people-facing’ interventions in environmental infrastructure facilities and services that will be identified by host and refugee populations to address the most pressing priorities.\n\n- **Defining the scope of projects clearly while allowing for some flexibility in design by involving stakeholders in**\n**decisions concerning their needs has facilitated achievement of better results in implementing local solutions**\n**in similar situations.** While the project has a pre-defined scope of activities for the larger environmental\ninfrastructure based on the municipal investment priorities of participating municipalities, it will include a consultative decision-making approach to identify the specific needs and priorities of host and refugee communities at the neighborhood level, as well as for capacity building activities.\n\nPage 21 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996)\n\n- **Both quick wins and mid-/long-term improvements are necessary to restore trust and the social contract.** Based\non experience from similar contexts in countries such as Lebanon where there was mounting pressure and perceived competition over resources and services, quick visible improvements in municipal services were critical for building trust in local authorities. On the other hand, mid-size, developmental solutions, though taking longer time to prepare, provided larger, more lasting impacts. The project will seek to adopt this two-pronged approach to improving services combining the larger infrastructure investments with the more immediate people-facing activities identified with municipalities and communities in a participatory manner.\n\n- **Social interventions engaging both host communities and refugees are as important as physical infrastructure**\n**interventions for ensuring the socio-economic recovery of communities affected by refugees.** Some social\ninterventions focusing on behavior change and public education will therefore be included in the project design, along with those targeted at improving service delivery to increase sustainability and reduce social tensions. The project is also exploiting synergies with other FRIT projects that more directly address some of the key drivers of social issues, such as skills training and learning programs that would help in mitigating such tensions.\n\n**IV.** **IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS**\n\n**A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements**\n\n**Project Implementation Arrangements**\n\n40. **ILBANK.** ILBANK is the Borrower for the IBRD loan and intermediary recipient of the grant, and the project implementing agency, serving as a Financial Intermediary to municipalities and SKIs. ILBANK is a state-owned development and investment bank based in _[Ankara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankara)_ [, relevant to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Environment_and_Urban_Planning_(Turkey)) _._ The Government of Turkey represented by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance is the guarantor of the loan **.** The project will be implemented by an existing Project Management Unit established under ILBANK’s International Relations Department, as is the case under the ongoing SCP series of projects at the central level, and by Project Implementing Units (PIUs) to be set up within the participating municipalities and/or SKIs at the local level. ILBANK has a long experience with managing implementation of municipal infrastructure investments as a financial intermediary and has demonstrated its capacity for managing World Bank loans through the Municipal Services Project (2004-2016) and the ongoing Sustainable Cities Series of Projects. ILBANK establishes the creditworthiness of all local governments in Turkey, provides loans (or grants for small municipalities and local governments) and guarantees, channels funding from International Finance Institutions (IFI), and carries out all required due diligence. ILBANK’s performance on past and ongoing operations has consistently been rated in the ‘satisfactory’ range by the Bank in its Implementation Status reports (ISRs) and its Implementation Completion Reports (ICRs).\n\n41. ILBANK PMU shall be responsible for day-to-day management and implementation of the Project, in accordance with the provisions of the POM, including the responsibility for financial management, procurement, disbursement, monitoring of environmental and social safeguards, reporting, monitoring and evaluation of the Project activities.\nThe existing PMU has qualified staff responsible for management of core project management functions, including procurement, financial management, safeguards in line with ESF requirements [29], and M&E. At least one additional 29 Responsibilities for management of safeguards are further outlined in relevant ESF documents, and will also include the municipal level Page 22 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) designated individual consultant/staff will be hired by ILBANK to support specific core functions, including procurement and financial management, as well as safeguards given the large portfolio. The PMU will also be supported by several specialized departments in ILBANK including the Project department, Investment Appraisal department, Infrastructure Implementation department, as well as the four regional directorates covering the proposed municipalities. The PMU is led by a department head and unit managers, and it has staff capacity in procurement, financial management, safeguards, and technical sectors such as water supply, wastewater, and transport. ILBANK PMU staff have been beneficiaries of intensive training sessions on World Bank procurement, safeguard implementation and other topics. The experience gained during implementation, together with the efforts of the GoT to reform ILBANK have made it a more attractive institution for other International Financing Institutions (IFIs) and laid the groundwork for harmonizing development financing in the sector.\n\n42. **Municipality Project Implementation Units (PIUs)** . At the local level, the project will be implemented by PIUs at the municipal/utility level to manage subproject implementation. A total of six PIUs will be established for the project at the local level, including PIUs in the Water and Wastewater utilities/SKIs in all five selected municipalities, to be responsible for implementation of the WSS sub-projects at the local level and one PIU in Kahramanmaras Municipality to be responsible for implementation of the solid waste sub-project. The PIUs will be primarily staffed by designated municipal/utility employees with the skills and qualifications to carry out fiduciary functions, as well as technical/contract management supervision with support from the supervision consultants. The local PIUs will have designated staff responsible for the core functions, including procurement, financial management, environmental and social safeguards, with minimum requisite qualifications as will be defined in the POM. In general, municipalities/utilities have staff on hand who can manage all aspects of sub-project implementation, and these may be assigned to the respective PIUs. However, where specific skills are required if not locally available, the PIUs could be supplemented by individual consultants as deemed necessary. The PIU staff will benefit from capacity building activities to enhance relevant skills as deemed necessary.\n\n43. The PIUs, which will be responsible for effective management of the subprojects as described in the various sub project financing agreements, will be established within no later than 30 (thirty) calendar days after the respective municipality or utility has signed its first Sub-financing Agreements with ILBANK. ILBANK PMU will prepare and evaluate the tender documents for the investment and TA components, with representation from the respective municipalities on the evaluation committees. However, the municipalities/utilities will be the contracting authorities for relevant sub-projects. While most of the Metropolitan and many Provincial municipalities in Turkey have experienced and dedicated departments to run capital projects financed by IFIs, institutional capacities for sustaining outcomes through sound operations and maintenance will require further strengthening. The project therefore includes institutional strengthening activities to build their capacity during implementation under Component 2.\n\n44. **Feasibility studies, designs, and construction supervision.** The feasibility reports of the proposed investments will be reviewed and approved by ILBANK and the Strategy and Budgeting Presidency (SBP). Design review and construction supervision will be performed by independent consultancy firms financed through the project. ILBANK’s regional offices will monitor the sub-project implementation progress monthly and will prepare monitoring reports.\nConsequently, Regional Directorates will support the PMU by providing relevant information on time and coordinating with the municipalities/ utilities.\n\n45. **Project Operations Manual (POM).** ILBANK will develop by project effectiveness a detailed POM for purposes of project implementation setting out: (i) policies and procedures relating to implementation of project components PIUs and contractors.\n\nPage 23 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) and eligibility of sub-projects; (ii) Financial management and procurement arrangements and procedures; and (ii) safeguards obligations and procedures.\n\n**B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements**\n\n46. ILBANK PMU will be responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) under the project at the central level, and it will coordinate all M&E activities with the PIUs. ILBANK has experience in M&E through the previous and ongoing projects. The ILBANK PMU will collect data on results indicators from the participating municipalities/utilities. Project Progress reports will be prepared and submitted quarterly by ILBANK. M&E activities, including monitoring of implementation progress and results, will be reviewed by the World Bank as part project supervision missions to be carried out at least twice a year. The incremental costs for the project M&E arrangements will be covered under Component 2 Project Management.\n\n47. A mid-term review of the project will be carried out around two years after commencement of the project to assess overall implementation progress and identify and resolve any key issues affecting implementation. An evaluation will also be carried out at the end of the project as an input to the Implementation Completion and Results Report to evaluate final results, assess overall performance, and capture key lessons.\n\n**C. Sustainability**\n\n48. **Sustainability of the municipal investments and service delivery will depend on the utilities ability to mobilize the**\n\n**necessary technical and financial resources to manage the new assets effectively.** The financial sustainability of\nutilities and/or municipalities in Turkey is underpinned by their ability to: (a) report positive operating balances (recurring operating revenues – recurring operating expenditures > 0); and (b) fund at least part of their capital expenditure from their own funds (positive operating balance). The four SKIs that will receive loans under the project all reported positive operating margins in FY2018: 15.6 percent for Adana SKI, 32.2 percent for Kahramanmaraş SKI, 33.7 percent for Kayseri SKI, and 20 percent for Osmaniye Municipality. The dialogue concerning SKI or municipality performance and the Performance Improvement Action Plans to be supported through the TA Component of the project will seek to ensure that issues of sustainability, including financial aspects are addressed through specific actions identified by the respective institutions.\n\n49. **Institutionally, sustainability will also be enhanced through implementation of the proposed technical assistance**\n\n**measures aimed at targeted performance improvement for municipalities/utilities under the project.** The TA\ncomponent will seek, inter-alia, to: (i) promote more effective and efficient utility management in line with good practices; (ii) provide support to the ILBANK Project Management Unit (PMU) and municipalities/utilities in embedding local-level actions that link with EU policy directives on climate change, energy efficiency, water, solid waste management, and in building awareness on international best practices to promote and implement sustainable utility operations; and (iii) support provision of training and capacity building to municipalities; with an aim to improve operational efficiency, financial sustainability and customer satisfaction. The Bank will also draw upon additional resources in line with initiatives such as the proposed _Utilities for the Future_ Technical Assistance Program financed by GWSP to support utilities in improving their overall performance. Under the proposed project, the participating utilities will attend trainings on utility performance improvement and financial management to improve their knowledge capacity to improve recovery of Operational and Maintenance (O&M) and investment costs.\n\nPage 24 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) 50. **Technical sustainability of the physical assets will also depend on quality assurance provided through effective**\n\n**management of the design review taking into account climate change considerations and construction supervision**\n**process.** Since all the proposed investments and technical assistance measures have been developed in line with the\nrelevant national policies and international best practice, expected results of the proposed project will contribute to sustainability of the actions at policy level.\n\n**V.** **PROJECT APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n**A. Technical, Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n51. **Technical Analysis.** At appraisal stage it was expected that the project will finance a total of fifteen environmental infrastructure sub-projects in the five municipalities, spanning three environmental infrastructure sub-sectors, water supply, wastewater management and solid waste management, in addition to the Technical Assistance activities. A summary of the status of identified sub-project interventions by municipality at appraisal is provided in Table 1 below.\nWhile feasibility studies and technical designs were prepared for nine of the municipal sub-projects identified at appraisal, design studies are ongoing for the additional six subprojects. The scope of investments and respective project footprints may change as part of a design review process to be carried out for all sub-projects prior to bidding for the construction works. The design review will, among other things, ensure that individual infrastructure facilities where appropriate consider adaptive designs that would allow for a scale up or scale down of capacity in the event of changes in the refugee population. The design review will be carried out by independent consultancy firms to be commissioned by ILBANK in each municipality on behalf of the municipalities. The same consultants will also be responsible for preparation of the bidding documents and construction supervision to ensure works quality control.\nMost of the available engineering designs have been reviewed and conform to good practice, first by ILBANK and by the World Bank technical team and comments have been provided where gaps have been identified. Terms of reference for the design review and supervision consultants have been prepared by ILBANK and the selection process for the consultants will be initiated as soon as the terms of reference are cleared by the World Bank. Although the consultants will be procured by ILBANK, the respective municipalities shall be invited into the evaluation process and will sign the contracts once the sub-financing agreements are signed between ILBANK and the municipalities/utilities.\nA summary of the status of each sub-contract is given below. ILBANK may also request the Bank’s no objection to pre-finance the consultants and be reimbursed through retroactive financing with the World Bank if deemed necessary.\n\n**Table 1.

The financial and economic analyses focus on sub-projects in the municipalities that will benefit from the loan proceeds, namely: Adana: for drinking water transmission lines and network; Kahramanmaras solid waste system, wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and sewerage network projects; Kayseri WWTP project; and Osmaniye drinking water and sewerage network projects. Konya Aksehir water supply project and wastewater treatment plants have been left out as they are to be fully grant financed. The integrated solid waste management (ISWM) project in Kahramanmaras is justified based on financial and economic returns.\n\n53. Financial Internal Rates of Return (FIRR) were estimated for the productive subprojects resulting generally in negative Financial Net Present Values (NPV) thus reflecting non-viability on solely commercial basis. Nonetheless, Component 2, TA component includes capacity building activities to utilities to improve operational efficiency in order to operate and maintain investments and deliver services in a sustainable manner. Such support will create conditions to move towards commercial viability. The Bank will also support the utilities in identifying and implementing performance improvements through other initiatives such as the Utilities for the Future Trust Program financed through a GWSP TF and implemented by the Water Global Practice and the ECA Water team. These types of support will foster better management practices for enhanced performance in the future of these utilities.\n\n54. The economic Net Present Values (NPV) of the entire project’s lifetime is estimated at EUR 19.4 million on the basis of the present values of costs and benefits produced by the project. Economic IRR (E-IRR) was 11 percent with benefits to cost ratio of 1.09 for A) Adana Drinking Water and Transmission Sub-project, 10.4 percent and 1.02 for B) Kahramanmaras Wastewater Treatment Plants and 15.5 percent and 1.56 for Kahramanmaras solid waste, 12.2 percent and 1.64 for C) Kayseri WWTP project 23.82 percent and 9.17 for E) Osmaniye drinking water and sewerage network projects. Although estimated E-IRRs are slightly above the discount rate of 10 percent, they are comfortably Page 26 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) above the recommended discount rate of 6 percent per WB guideline [30] .\n\n55. Sensitivity analyses have been carried out measuring change in the E-NPV due to changes in critical parameters including investment costs, personnel costs and power costs. Avoided GHG emissions improving economic benefits to the project due to more efficient wastewater collection, lower energy use for wastewater treatment, shift in solid waste management to a sanitary landfill from current disposal sites and energy efficiency gains from NRW reductions, were also considered as part of economic assessment. The benefits from estimated net emissions of the project based on defined investments at appraisal were estimated at EUR 57.5 million over the 30-year economic lifetime of the project [31] .\n\n56. As the investments will be implemented under affiliated water utilities and/or municipalities, a baseline assessment of their financial position has been carried, to ensure financial sustainability based on 2018 and past three years’ trend data. Financial sustainability of utilities and/or municipalities are underpinned by their ability to: (a) report positive operating balances (recurring operating revenues – recurring operating expenditures > 0); and (b) fund at least part of their capital expenditure from their own funds (positive operating balance as explained above). Current margin reported in FY2018 by Adana SKI was 15.6 percent, 32.2 percent for Kahramanmaras SKI and 33.7 percent for Kayseri SKI. Osmaniye Municipality closed FY2018 with an operating margin of 20 percent. With increased capital investments, utilities are projected to report balanced overall budget results, supported with debt financing and grant contribution as foreseen under the sub-projects. Results of financial baseline assessments are provided in the Annex 3, Financial Estimate section. Detailed financial management and creditworthiness analyses for sub-borrower water utilities and municipalities incorporating projections on fiscal performance, expenditure coverage and indebtedness indicated that sub-borrowers will have capacity to meet their financial commitments while remaining exposed to adverse economic conditions.\n\n**B. Fiduciary**\n\n**Financial Management**\n\n57. The financial management arrangements for the project are satisfactory. The PMU established under the International Relations Department of ILBANK will be responsible for the financial management arrangements for the Project. The PMU has satisfactory arrangements for the Sustainable Cities Project I, II and its AF and the same arrangements will be adopted for Municipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas.\n\n58. ILBANK will on-lend proceeds of the IBRD loan and on-grant the grant proceeds to the participating municipalities/utilities and will provide technical support to these municipalities/utilities in overseeing implementation of the investments. The procurements of the project will be conducted centrally by ILBANK with the participation of the Municipalities/utilities in the bid evaluation committees and concluded contracts will be signed by the relevant Municipalities/utilities. Payments to the suppliers will be registered directly by ILBANK upon submission of acceptable approval documents.

ILBANK as the financial intermediary, as well as the beneficiary municipalities are public entities. Thus, the World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers – July 2016 revised in November 2017 and August 2018 (“Procurement Regulations”) will apply to the proposed Project. The World Bank's Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants, dated October 15, 2006 and revised in January 2011 and as of July 1, 2016 (“Anti-Corruption Guidelines”) will also apply to the proposed project. A General Procurement Notice will be published on the World Bank’s external website and United Nations Development Business online.\n\n60. A draft Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD) has been prepared by ILBANK as required by the Procurement Regulations to determine the optimum procurement approach to deliver the right procurement result under the proposed project. The PPSD was agreed between ILBANK and the World Bank. The PPSD proposed that all procurements will be conducted by the PMU with the support of ILBANK Investment Coordination Department as needed. The relevant municipalities/utilities will be invited to participate in the bid evaluation committees, sign the contracts and they will be responsible from the contract implementation through their PIUs supported with experts in the procurement and contract management. Considering four years project implementation period, the PPSD proposed to initiate procurements as early as possible for the timely implementation of the contracts.\n\n61. The selection of the “Design Review and Supervision Consultant(s)” has been identified as the strategically important procurement although their contract values are relatively low. It is envisaged that the consultants will support the PMU for the preparation of the bidding documents for the infrastructure investments and consultants’ timely input is very critical for the initiation of the relevant procurements planned in the procurement plan. Following the Bank’s guidance for procurements in situations of urgent need of assistance, the selection of the consultants will be accelerated by adapting fit-for-purpose principle, and accordingly higher thresholds will be applied for the “consultant’s qualification-based selection” method to deliver the project development objectives within the duration of the project. All other infrastructure contracts are “strategic critical” for the municipalities. Hence, the selected consultant will also provide services to relevant municipalities/utilities for the quality assurance of the works and goods and timely completion of the contracts within their original contract prices. More details on the findings of the procurement assessment, the proposed procurement supervision arrangements, risks and relevant mitigation measures to address them are provided in Annex 4.\n\n~~.~~ **C.

The project is categorized as “ _Substantial Risk_ ” within the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), given that at appraisal stage it consisted of 15 identified infrastructure investments (subprojects) in 5 municipalities and target provinces which are host to among the largest numbers of refugees in urban settlements. The project is expected to have positive impacts on improving environmental infrastructure and hence, contributing to resilience in communities impacted by refugee influx. It is not expected that sub-projects will have significant adverse effects to human health and/or the environment. The project will not result in significant adverse cumulative and does not include activities that might involve transboundary impacts. Moreover, the areas likely to be affected by the project are not of high value and sensitivity.\n\n63. Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) 1-10, with the exception of ESS 7 (the standard does not apply, as there are no indigenous or SSAHUTLC in Turkey) apply to the Project. The project also does not necessitate the application of OP 7.50: Projects on International Waterways [32] and OP 7.60: Projects in Disputed Areas. However, the urgent need for assistance to support the Government of Turkey's efforts to mitigate rising pressures on service delivery from the continual influx of people across the border and from camps to cities has required the Bank policy OP 10, para 12 – Projects prepared in a Situation of Urgent Need of Assistance or Capacity Constraints to be applied.\n\n64. The water supply subprojects will include the construction of water treatment plants, construction of new and extension of existing water distribution networks and transmission line, expansion of water reservoir capacities, and non-revenue water reduction activities such as installation of SCADA systems and development of water metering areas. Wastewater investments will include construction of new wastewater treatment plants or expanding their capacity, construction of new and extension of existing sewerage collection networks. Solid waste facilities will include new waste collection and transfer equipment, construction of two transfer stations and a landfill (including composting and mechanical separation facilities) in Afsin District of Kahramanmaraş, and rehabilitation or closure of existing dumpsites. These subprojects have potential environmental risks both during construction and operation phases.\n\n65. In line with E&S standards that apply to the project, potential environmental and social risks associated with the construction and operation of the wastewater treatment plants and solid waste landfills are: (i) generation of noise, dust, wastewater, excess material and other waste in the construction phase; (ii) emission of dust, bio-aerosols, odors, and vehicle exhaust during waste collection and transportation; (iii) contaminated runoff, leachate generation and landfill gas emissions; groundwater contamination; (iv) noise and vibration from the operation of waste processing equipment; (v) fire and explosion risks due to landfill gas; (vi) community health and safety impacts such as visual, dust and odor problems, as well as scavenging related impacts and physical, chemical and biological hazards; (vii) occupational health and safety impacts such as accidents and injuries, chemical exposure, noise and vibration exposure and exposure to pathogens and vectors; (viii) closure and post-closure management of the landfills; (ix) discharge of treated wastewater to receiving bodies; (x) sludge and solids generation from wastewater treatment plants; (xi) emissions of hydrogen sulfide, methane, ozone, gaseous or volatile chemicals associated with WWTPs; and (xii) ecological impacts on the nearby receptors.

The ESMF was consulted with stakeholders on November 26, 2019 and was disclosed on December 4, 2019. Subproject and sitespecific environmental impacts will be discussed in detail in the subproject specific environmental assessment documents (such as Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)) to be prepared by ILBANK, on behalf of related municipalities, during the project implementation phase.\nILBANK already completed the selection of Environmental and Social Consultancy Company for the preparation of subproject specific environmental and social assessment documents and initiated the preparation of documents accordingly. One of the key actors in the implementation of the ESMF will be ILBANK Project Management Unit (PMU). ILBANK will recruit additional environmental and social specialists (at least one environmental and one social) to increase PMU capacity during project preparation and implementation.\n\n**Table 2.

The Yedigöze hydropower plant was built on the Seyhan River in Adana province between 2006 and 2010. The main purposes of the plant are hydropower and irrigation. It is owned and operated by SANKO, a private Turkish company, under a Build-Operate-Transfer project licensed by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR). The Bank Dam Safety Expert visited Adana to conduct a due diligence on dam safety aspects for Yedigöze dam as part of project preparation. Yedigoze dam and its appurtenant works were built 10 years ago, and they are well operated and maintained by SANKO, which is responsible for the safety of its facilities. Devlet Su Isleri (DSI) the State agency responsible for water resources management and irrigation ensures the state supervision in accordance with the applicable legislation, and was directly involved in all project stages, from the feasibility study to the reservoir impoundment, and it ensures that the operator implements all required safety measures. In this context, DSI examines all reports related to dam operation and safety and carries out regular dam inspections (twice a year).\n\n69. DSI confirmed the sound state and behavior of the dam and its appurtenant structures. Moreover, the board of experts under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forest carried out an inspection in December 2015 and issued a positive opinion regarding the safety conditions of the Yedigöze dam. This report, which confirms the general good conditions and performance of the dam, can be accepted by the WB as previous dam safety assessment, this is in accordance with OP4.37 requirements. SANKO personnel in charge of the surveillance of the dam are well organized and perform daily routine inspections and maintenance checks. The dam and its appurtenant structures are equipped with 272 monitoring instruments divided into 15 different categories; measurements are automatic and/or manual. Analysis and interpretation of the measurements are made by both SANKO and DSI, and dam surveillance reports are issued quarterly. The instrumentation Plan, the Operation & Maintenance Plan and the Emergency Preparedness Plan are regularly updated by SANKO and submitted to DSI for approval. Overall, the Bank expert’s general impression was positive, with both the operator and the state supervisory authority aware of the importance of the safety and the maintenance of its facilities. The project will finance technical assistance under Component 2 to have independent dam safety specialists, including competent dam safety specialists of DSI, acceptable to the Bank carry out a safety inspection of the above-mentioned dams, based on terms of reference acceptable to the Bank, at intervals of not less than once every five years according to Good International Industry Practice, during the implementation and after completion of the Project. The first of said safety inspections shall be carried out not later than December 2020.\n\n**Social**\n\n70. **Social risk is rated as Substantial.** Social risks and impacts intrinsic to the project are comparable to other municipal investments carried out under the Bank financed Sustainable Cities Projects 1 and 2 with ILBANK, which are assessed as Moderate. Contextual risks are rated Substantial because the sub-projects to be financed under the project are designed in such manner to enable broad population to benefit, regardless of their nationality or any vulnerability.\nSuch approach should allow the management of contextual risks, which may otherwise be considered High. Main social impacts are expected to be manageable and limited to stakeholder engagement with various host communities and refugees, economic displacement with limited livelihood impacts, limited labor influx impacts expected during construction phase, and community health and safety impacts caused by investments in wastewater treatment and solid waste facilities. The ESMF and site – specific ESMPs will address such impacts and propose mitigation measures.\nMajor civil works are expected in association with the construction of water and solid waste treatment plans, while other investments will mainly include the construction of linear structures. SEA (sexual exploitation and abuse) risks are assessed as Low. The project will carry out a set of training activities on SEA prevention, which will target ILBANK and participating municipalities/utilities staff and civil works construction contractors.

ILBANK prepared a Resettlement Framework (RF) as required by ESS5, which was disclosed on November 26, 2019 and consulted in conjunction with the ESMF and SEF on December 2, 2019. The majority of the sub-projects requiring land acquisition have already completed acquisition works. However, designs are currently still under review and revision, and may change the project footprint and thus the scope of land acquisition. Ex-post social audits of previous land acquisitions will identify any gaps with ESS 5 which need to be addressed and will be completed before the start of civil works of relevant sub projects. Resettlement Plans, and any other site-specific E&S documents will be finalized and approved by the Bank and disclosed prior to the beginning of tendering of works of each sub-project.\n\n72. **Stakeholder Engagement and Citizen Engagement:** In line with ESS 10, ILBANK prepared a Stakeholder Engagement Framework, outlining general principles and a collaborative strategy to identify stakeholders and plan for an engagement process in accordance with ESS10. In addition, the SEPs for each municipality will be prepared. The borrowing municipalities and utilities will implement SEPs including timely information disclosure in accessible manner, engaging stakeholders across host and refugee communities in the project areas, with an overall aim to prevent any social tensions and perceptions of unequal access to project benefits. Before project implementation, Municipalities will develop information booklet/leaflets in Turkish and Arabic describing subproject intended outcomes including the need of land expropriation, which will be shared among the project affected parties (PAPs) during resettlement plan preparation work. The SEF/SEP includes a two-level project level Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM): the first at the municipal level and the second at ILBANK level. Municipalities will ensure that the GRMs are functional and accessible to the refugee and host communities in the languages they speak for any issues that they would like to address. Municipalities will report on the percentage of grievances resolved within a stipulated time frame and the project will utilize Citizen Report Cards at the beginning and end-term to assess if the municipal investments improved the cities’ current infrastructure and addressed the prior needs of both host and refugee communities. Additional citizen engagement activities are described under Component 2 c (ii).\n\n73. **Additionally, citizen engagement activities to facilitate effective two-way engagement among stakeholders,**\n\n**including Turkish citizens and refugees, municipalities, and SKIs, will seek to identify the needs and priorities of**\n**beneficiary groups to improve access to effective municipal services.** These activities will be planned and\nimplemented by ILBANK in a participatory manner with the support of non-governmental organizations (NGO)’s selected by ILBANK. They will be identified through the project and be described in the Project Operations Manual.\nThe activities will seek to address concerns on issues relating to planning, implementation, and delivery of municipal services, particularly environmental infrastructure services covered under the project, as well as any related issues affecting social cohesion among host and refugee communities. Citizen engagement activities will where possible leverage and be carried out in close collaboration with other World Bank managed activities, such as the proposed _Social Entrepreneurship, Empowerment, and Cohesion Project_ (P171456), which will develop and apply a set of participatory citizen engagement tools to facilitate engagement with host and refugee populations, and the proposed _State Building Fund (SPF) Project’s Information, Counseling and Referral Support Program,_ which will cover, inter-alia, referral to municipality-run support activities, as appropriate. Leveraging of citizen engagement activities with the mentioned activities will be carried out in selected municipalities where there is an overlap between the individual projects, such as Adana, Kahramanmaras, and Osmaniye. Experience from these activities will however help to inform activities in other areas. Activities under the SPF will, inter alia, include information related to municipal services.

As part of project preparation, gender analysis was undertaken, together with a detailed literature review and focus group discussions with women from both refugee and host communities, to identify specific gender gaps among host and refugee populations in the project areas. While individual living conditions of SUTPs vary with factors such as socioeconomic status and location of settlements, evidence from the analysis suggests that the poor housing conditions, including overcrowding and associated access to services such as safely managed water and sanitation for a large proportion of the lower income refugee communities is an issue.\n\n75. The project scope narrows down to three specific gender gaps that could be addressed through project implementation. First, there is a clear lack of voice for both Turkish and refugee women. Research on women’s representation in local level governance shows one of the lowest rates in the world. In 2014, women constituted 2.8 percent of the Mayors and 10.7 percent of the municipal Councilors. [34] According to the Urban Refugee Network [35], many Syrian refugee women lack a forum to discuss needs, share information and exercise community leadership. A UN Needs Assessment of Syrian women refugees carried out in 2018 found that nearly half of the refugee women in Adana had no social relationships with the Turkish host community due to seclusion (15 percent did not leave their homes), and the lack of social ties was greater for women with less education [36] . Second, refugee women have limited economic opportunities. According to the gender analysis, only 15 percent of refugee women are engaged in income generating jobs [37] . The same assessment indicated that only a small number of women (7 percent) have taken part in vocational training, and when they do take part the most popular areas of study are hairdressing (30 percent) and needlework (27 percent), which are closely related to traditional gender roles and provide limited opportunity for formal employment. And finally, there is lack of access to information that also includes language barriers. While women are mainly responsible for management and use of services such as water, sanitation, hygiene and waste management at the household level, they have limited interaction with host communities if they do not work outside.\nFrom the UN Women’s Needs Assessment, Syrian women are unaware of various support services: for example, 68 percent of women do not know about free legal counselling; 63 percent about home care, 59 percent about psychosocial support and 57 percent about childcare services. This applies to the project areas. In Kahramanmaraş, for example, the Municipality has introduced a subsidized water-use scheme for families in need. However, women seem to have insufficient knowledge and awareness of such schemes, which highlight a need for enhanced communication and information sharing in a manner and language accessible to them.\n\n76. While there are other on-going projects in the country that promote female employment [38], this project will promote three main actions to improve gender outcomes. First, the project will encourage refugee women to engage more actively with host communities and participate in decision-making to identify their priorities for support through the 33 World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report for 2018. _[http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2018.pdf](http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2018.pdf)_ 34 Savas-Yavuzchere, P. and Cigeroglu-Oztepe, Misra 2016. “the Representation of Women in Turkish Local Governments.\n[http://journals.euser.org/files/articles/ejis_jan_apr_16/Pinar.pdf](http://journals.euser.org/files/articles/ejis_jan_apr_16/Pinar.pdf) 35 Urban Refugee Women’s Network – Turkey. _[https://www.refworld.org/pdfid/5a38e20a4.pdf](https://www.refworld.org/pdfid/5a38e20a4.pdf)_ 36 UN Women. 2018 Needs Assessment of Syrian Women and Girls. https://www2.unwomen.org/[/media/field%20office%20eca/attachments/publications/country/turkey/the%20needs%20assessmentengwebcompressed.pdf?la=en&vs=](https://www2.unwomen.org/-/media/field%20office%20eca/attachments/publications/country/turkey/the%20needs%20assessmentengwebcompressed.pdf?la=en&vs=3139)\n[3139](https://www2.unwomen.org/-/media/field%20office%20eca/attachments/publications/country/turkey/the%20needs%20assessmentengwebcompressed.pdf?la=en&vs=3139) 37 Source: United Nations Needs Assessment of Syrian Women and Girls under Temporary Protection Status in Turkey, June 2018 38 For example, the Social Entrepreneurship.

This will include specific actions to promote women voices and empower them to make decisions concerning their needs and priorities within the scope of the project. The project will specifically encourage adequate women’s representation at the community level decision-making forum under component 2d).\nThe project will help create a safe space for refugee and host country women to share their views, needs, and suggestions by setting-up of separate meetings for women only to respect existing cultural norms. Decisions made will be recorded and shared with the participating municipalities to be reflected in further planning, decision-making and implementation of the project throughout the project implementation. Staff of the participating municipalities and utilities are trained to be sensitized for existing gender bias and norms, so that they could respond to these gender-disaggregated specific needs and requests from the community level decision-making forums. Second, the project will encourage municipalities to provide information for decision-making on their policies, plans, investments and available services in a format and language (Arabic and Turkish) that is user-friendly and accessible to women and the organizations that represent them. In addition, the project will undertake an education and awareness campaign, support WASH initiatives that are sensitive to household gender inequalities and promote behavior change. Third, the project will support and promote the formation of women-led community level groups, where possible, to manage operation and maintenance for hygiene and sanitation infrastructure at the neighborhood level in the selected low-income communities with significant refugee and host populations, and will provide training to empower them to do so. This will extend women’s household role as water managers to the neighborhood and give them voice. The project will encourage monitoring and management of municipal services to be identified in collaboration with relevant municipalities. Combining Turkish and refugee women on the committees could support social cohesion as well enabling them to better understand each other’s cultures.\n\n77. These actions will be measured through the following indicators: (i) percentage of women’s needs and investment choices that were implemented by selected municipalities and SKIs (baseline 0%; target 70%); and (ii) The satisfaction rate of female users of WSS services and facilities provided by the project and their perception of responsiveness of the project to their needs and preferences (baseline 0%; target 70%). A survey will be conducted for a sample of communities at the baseline stage and at the end of project to assess the satisfaction with project outcomes by host and refugee communities.\n\n**VI.** **GRIEVANCE REDRESS SERVICES**\n\n78. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns.\nProject affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of WB non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond.

Water and sanitation investments will as far as possible be designed to accommodate different populations using phased or modular systems where appropriate. Further political risks are linked to local political and social cohesion risks associated with the refugee influx and potential implications on support for the project. The project through the citizen engagement component will seek to promote dialogue among host and refugee communities to improve social cohesion.\n\n81. **Macroeconomic risk is rated as Substantial.** The Turkish economy experienced instability between 2018-2019, following a period of growing macro imbalances and economic overheating in 2017-2018. The economy has stabilized more recently thanks to important external adjustments: a reversal in current account imbalances, declining external debt of banks, and a gradual recovery in forex reserves. These have contributed to currency stability. There are a priori three possible macroeconomic risks to the project. The first is currency risk for municipalities. Though the Lira has been more stable recently, uncertainty in global markets, including from the recent Coronavirus outbreak pose risks for all emerging markets. Some of the risk could be offset by trade diversion from China that benefits Turkey.\nThe second relates to the authorities’ fiscal consolidation path, which assumes a sharp decrease in capital expenditure. This may or may not affect public investment plans under the project as some of this risk may be mitigated by external project financing. Thirdly, the construction sector is among the most severely hit in the current downturn – leverage and exposure to forex debt will affect construction companies’ ability to respond to an increase in specialized construction investment under the project. Some of this risk may be mitigated by the availability of spare capacity in the construction sector, that may allow construction companies to respond quickly.\n\n82. **Technical design of project risk.** There is a moderate potential risk that the implementation of activities financed from one source is given priority by certain municipalities over activities from another source. ILBANK and the selected municipalities will be required to clearly reflect in the Project Implementation Plan the concurrent parallel implementation of project activities financed from both sources, and to report on this aspect of implementation s as part of progress reporting to the Bank, as will be defined in the Project Operations Manual.\n\n83. **Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability risk:** There is an increased implementation capacity risk given ILBANK’s expanding project portfolio with currently about US$730 million for Sustainable Cities series of project alone. This risk is to be mitigated through strengthening of ILBANK’s PMU capacity with additional staff in accordance with a Staffing Plan proposed by ILBANK. The list of additional staff and timing for their appointments was agreed with the Bank during appraisal and timeframes have been included as effectiveness conditions even though most of the staff are expected to be appointed before this date. ILBANK has requested retroactive financing from the IBRD loan to finance appointment of the additional PMU staff prior to effectiveness.\n\n84. **Stakeholder risk is rated as Substantial.** This risk reflects past history where municipalities/utilities have withdrawn from similar projects either immediately before negotiations or subsequent to loan signing due to internal political and financial considerations. To mitigate this risk, municipalities/utilities are required to provide Municipal Executive Board/Utility Executive Board Decisions in support of their participation in the project and are also required to prepare feasibility studies that include a financial assessment of the sub-project and the municipality. The risk rating also reflects possible community resistance to certain investments. To mitigate this risk, required Environmental and Page 35 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": ".\n\n**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project (P169996) Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) or Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) will be prepared for each sub-project investment and a grievance redressal mechanism will be set up within the project. In addition, other citizen engagement mechanisms will also be exploited during the implementation period.\n\n85. **The project’s Environmental risk has been rated Substantial.** The environmental risk has been downgraded to Substantial following the Concept stage after site visits carried out by Bank team. It is not expected that sub-projects will have significant adverse effects to human health and/or the environment and that the project will not result in transboundary impacts since there are no sub-projects in transboundary basins. Moreover, the areas likely to be affected by the project are not of high value and sensitivity. Appropriate mitigation measures for identified risks are highlighted in the relevant Safeguards documents.\n\n86. **The Social Risk Rating has been rated Substantial.** The project will have overall positive social impacts on improving environmental infrastructure in provinces known to host the largest numbers of refugees in urban settlements. Social risks and impacts intrinsic to the project are comparable to other municipal investment carried out under the Bank financed Sustainable Cities Projects 1 and 2 with ILBANK which are assessed Moderate. Social risks are rated Substantial because the sub projects to be financed under the project are designed to benefit a broad population regardless of nationality or any vulnerability, which is considered to allow management of contextual risks which may otherwise be High. Risks related to the capacity of implementation agency (ILBANK) to manage social impacts is considered Substantial because ILBANK will be applying ESF for the first time. This will be mitigated by the hiring of an additional social specialist in the PMU as well as training of staff on the ESF.\n\n87. **Other risks rated as substantial pertain to the following.** 88. **Timeframe for EU grant approval and associated financing gap.** The signing of the Administrative Agreement (AA) between the World Bank and the EU for the grant is subject to finalization of an update to the 2016 World Bank Group-EU Framework Agreement, which is under discussion by the parties. Accordingly, the project is presented to the Board with a financing gap for the grant, subject to signature of the AA. The European Commission (EC), in May 2019, invited the World Bank to enter into formal discussions with the EU Delegation in Turkey on the project design, to lead to a Contract between the Parties in the form of the AA. The Bank team has conducted such discussions with the EUD throughout the project preparation process and has reflected key aspects in the project design. To mitigate the risk of a potential delay in finalizing the update of the WBG-EU Framework Agreement, Technical Discussions for the grant were conducted along with the negotiations for the IBRD loan, to reduce the timeframe for Grant approval and signature once the Administration Agreement is signed. The Technical Discussions involved a full discussion and agreement between ILBANK and the World Bank on the terms and conditions of the draft Grant Agreement.\nConclusion of the grant negotiations, based on the Technical Discussions, will be done after signing of the AA. ILBANK has indicated its preference to sign the loan and grant agreements with the Bank at the same time. However, should there be a significant delay in signing the grant, or non-approval of the grant, ILBANK would be able to sign the loan agreement and access IBRD funds prior to accessing the grant. Project activities have been structured to separate loan and grant financed activities in the Procurement Plan to allow implementation of the former to proceed while waiting for the AA to be signed, should it become necessary.\n\nPage 36 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database,

ILBANK is the Borrower for the IBRD loan and will also be the primary recipient of the EU FRIT grant when it is approved. ILBANK is a state-owned development and investment bank, subordinated to the _[Ministry of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Environment_and_Urban_Planning_(Turkey))_ _[Environment and Urbanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Environment_and_Urban_Planning_(Turkey))_ . ILBANK, as the national development and investment bank providing financial intermediary services for municipal infrastructure in Turkey, will also be the implementing agency for the Project.\n\n4. ILBANK will carry out its roles as implementing agency through an existing Project Management Unit (PMU), under the bank’s International Relations Department. The PMU was originally established in 2005 for a Bank financed Municipal Services Project (MSP). It has since been responsible for implementing subsequent operations, including MSP-II (Additional Loan), Sustainable Cities Project (SCP), and SCP-II and SCP-II Additional Loan, and it has demonstrated its capacity for managing World Bank loans through these operations. Relevant technical and financial departments of ILBANK, as well as the regional directorates supporting the targeted municipalities will support the PMU in project implementation. ILBANK will procure or support municipalities/utilities to procure works, TA services and goods as required and will manage the implementation of project activities. The PMU has professional staff responsible for various aspects of project management, including procurement, financial management, social and environmental safeguards, communications, technical/engineering and monitoring and evaluation. Detailed operational modalities will be described in the Project Operational Manual. The PMU’s existing capacity will however be strengthened through hiring of additional staff and/or consultants in line with a staffing plan agreed with the Bank before project effectiveness.\n\n5. **Local/Municipal Level PIUs.** The selected municipalities and utilities/SKIs as applicable based on the specific sub project will be responsible for sub-project investment implementation and will set up municipal project implementation units (PIUs) at local level to ensure effective implementation. The local PIUs will comprise competent staff responsible for technical, procurement, financial and safeguards aspects of the sub-project activities. The staff may be seconded from the respective local institutions or may include individual consultants hired by these entities if existing capacity is not sufficient.\n\n6. **World Bank:** The World Bank, as the EDF Trust Fund administrator, and IBRD lender, will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of project activities and will ensure compliance with the former`s procedures and guidelines. World Bank’s fiduciary arrangements, including its procurement and FM procedures, as well as its Environmental and Social Framework will apply.

Banks in Turkey are subject to strict regulations and supervision by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA). BRSA’s regulatory and supervisory framework meets modern standards preserving the solidity of the system. Banks in Turkey are required to prepare financial statements in compliance with the Turkish Accounting Standards which are based on and correspond to IFRS. The BRSA also issues rules governing the external audit of bank financial statements, and only auditors approved by the BRSA may carry out such audits. The external auditor is required to report to the BRSA on the internal control and risk management systems of banks as well as being obliged to report directly to the BRSA with respect to certain issues which may threaten the going concern nature of a Bank.\n\n**Implementing Entity**\n\n12. ILBANK first established as Belediyeler Bankasi in 1933 to finance the reconstruction activities of municipalities.\n\nILBANK law (Law 4759) was updated in 2011 making it a joint stock development and investment bank that is subject to the banking law. Its objectives are meeting the financing needs of special provincial authorities, municipalities and their affiliated organizations and of local administrative associations and to provide consultancy services to these organizations on urban projects. ILBANK is a related establishment of Ministry of Environment and Urbanization of Turkey. The shareholders of the bank are the municipalities and special provincial administrations. Law 5779 on Allotments of General Budget Revenues to be allocated to Special provincial Authorities and Municipalities (2008) requires 2 percent of total tax allotment revenues distributed by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance through ILBANK to be deducted to contribute as capital to Iller Bank.\n\n**Implementation Arrangements**\n\n13. ILBANK has a Project Management Unit (PMU) under its International Relations Department responsible for foreign financed projects including SCP I, SCP II and SCP II Additional Financing (SCP II AF). The PMU is organized according to functions and its financial management department is responsible for such arrangements under SCP I, II and II AF. They will continue with this responsibility under the FRIT MSP. ILBANK will provide technical support to qualifying municipalities and utilities in identifying and appraising investments. ILBANK will also provide funding for the eligible investment projects both from the EU grant and WB loan. ILBANK will be responsible for the procurement of all activities under component 2 including the consultancy services for design review, support for preparation of bidding documents and supervision of construction and rehabilitation works under Component 1.\nProcurement of investments will also be done by ILBANK with the representatives from the beneficiary municipalities and utilities in the bid evaluation committees and the contracts will be signed by the municipality/utility and the firm. Payments to the suppliers will be registered directly by ILBANK upon submission of acceptable approval documents. PMU in ILBANK will be responsible for the management of the Designated Accounts and project accounting and reporting.\n\n**Staffing**\n\n14. The PMU at the ILBANK has a dedicated financial management unit responsible for FM functions of all foreign financed projects. There are currently 11 staff working in this department and ILBANK will assign at least one Page 49 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) financial management specialist to work solely on the financial management aspects of the MSP FRIT Project.\nILBANK has the option to hire consultants to enhance its implementation capacity since Component B of the FRIT MSP has funding available for this purpose. The qualifications and experience of the current staff are satisfactory to the Bank. They have worked in the implementation of the Municipal Services project, its additional financing and currently working for SCP I, II and AF. The experience they have gained in the implementation of these projects will be utilized in conducting the financial management arrangements of the FRIT MSP.\n\n**Accounting Policies and Procedures**\n\n15. ILBANK has a web-based information system (IL_BIS) that links all departments of the institution, allowing them to execute, monitor and report using the same data source. All the regional offices are also connected to the central IL_BIS system. Project accounting for the SCP I and II are integrated into this system using sub-accounts that were created under the Bank`s main chart of accounts. The PMU staff prepares the payment orders and the accounting entries into the Bank`s main accounting system are made by the Accounting Department`s staff. Financial Interim Unaudited Financial Reports are also generated automatically through the system. FRIT MSP will also rely on the same systems and the accounting and reporting for the project will also be fully integrated into the IL_BIS system.\nILBANK will conduct the necessary modifications/additions to the IL_BIS system and these arrangements are expected to be in place before project effectiveness.\n\n16. ILBANK has robust systems, manuals and guidelines regulating the internal controls environment. The accounting and reporting systems at ILBANK are geared toward producing statements and information as required by Turkish laws and regulations. Additionally, lLBANK has developed and executed specific internal control procedures for the implementation of the foreign financed projects including the SCP Program and these procedures are clearly defined in the project financial management manual which is available in the ILBANK web-site.\n\n**17.** FRIT MSP will disburse through sub-loans and grant agreements that will be made between ILBANK and qualifying\n\nmunicipalities and utilities. The municipalities will submit the payment requests to the PMU after verifying completeness of all documentation is complete will prepare the payment order through its financial management department. The payment will be made directly from the designated accounts to the constructer’s bank account.\n\n18. The PMU has been utilizing detailed checklists that are completed and signed by the relevant staff before processing the payments. Those checklists include financial controls on advance payments made for works in progress, financial controls on payments to individual consultants and corporate consultants, financial controls on works progress payments, financial controls on goods purchases. These checklists with a few modifications to enable funding source identification will also be utilized for MSP FRIT.\n\n**Internal** **Audit**\n\n19. ILBANK has an Internal Controls Department, Risk Management Department and an Inspection Department. All three departments report directly to the Board of Directors. The Internal Controls Department has identified “standard control points” for foreign financed loans. This is standard for all departments and controls points are defined for each function of ILBANK. The International Relations Department, like other departments of ILBANK, is required to complete the form monthly and provide assurance through self-declaration that all control points have been complied with. As a part of its normal procedures, the Department conducts quarterly on-site review of compliance with the control points. There have not been any irregularities observed in foreign financed loans as a part of the internal control review. MSP FRIT will also be a part of regular review of internal controls department.\n\nPage 50 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) The Risk management Department reviews loans before they are granted and through their effectiveness.

The Inspection Department is responsible for investigating irregularities, as well as conducting regular reviews of ILBANK systems.\n\n**External Audit**\n\n20. Annual project financial statements (integrating both sources of financing) for the project, as well as ILBANK financial statements will be subject to independent audit by auditors that are acceptable to the Bank. ILBANK has been submitting audited entity and project financial statements to the Bank for MSP and SCP. ILBANK`s entity financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been audited by private sector auditors in accordance with International Auditing Standards. The entity audited financial statements had unqualified (clean) audit opinions for the last three years. ILBANK additionally prepares financial statements for the projects it is implementing, and these financial statements are audited by the Treasury Controllers who are the government auditors who are responsible for the audit of World Bank financed projects implemented by government institutions. The project financial statements for SCP (separately prepared for the loan and the EU grant) have been received on time and include unqualified (clean) audit opinions as well. (SCP II audit report has not yet been submitted as ILBANK did not utilize any funds from the project in 2018 which is the year with the most recent audit reports available). No material issues were identified in the management letter either.\n\n21. Under the MSP FRIT project ILBANK will be required to submit its audited entity financial statements prepared in accordance with Turkish Accounting Standards (which are fully compatible with International Financial Reporting Standards) and project financial statements to the Bank within 6 months following the end of year.

The project will be disbursing on the traditional disbursement techniques. Two Designated Accounts will be created for the project (one for EU grant and one for the WB loan). ILBANK will open the designated accounts at a commercial bank that is acceptable to the World Bank. Designated accounts for SCP I and SCP II are at Ziraat Bankasi. Two authorized signatures who will be specified in the project FM manuals will sign the withdrawal applications. The minimum application size for payments directly from the loan account for the issuance of Special Commitments, as well as the Statement of Expenditure (SOE) limits, will be described in the disbursement letters.\nFull documentation in support of SOEs, including completion reports and certificates, would be retained by the ILBANK for at least two years after the World Bank has received the audit report for the fiscal year in which the last withdrawal from the loan account was made. This information will be made available for review during supervision visits by World Bank staff and for annual audits. Disbursements for expenditures above the SOE thresholds will be made against presentation of full documentation of the expenditures.\n\n**Figure 1.2.

The project focuses on five municipalities or provinces (i.e. Adana, Kahramanmaras, Kayseri, Konya and Osmaniye) out of the ten most impacted by the refugee influx in Turkey as identified in the EU Needs Assessment. The selection of the five municipalities to be supported through the current project was based on not just the identified needs, but also eligibility for World Bank financing of sub-projects that do not trigger _World Bank_ _OP 7.50 Projects on International Waterways_ . Sub-projects triggering this policy are to be supported by other development partners, including AFD.\n\n2. **Target Group and Final Beneficiaries.** The final beneficiaries comprise the populations in the affected municipalities, including the refugees and host populations. Only a small share (less than 10 percent) of the refugee population resides in camps, while the majority live outside camps, mostly in urban areas. There are two designated camps in the targeted provinces: Kahramanmaras' Merkez Container Camp which hosts about 14,811 refugees, and Adana Sancam Container Camp which hosts about 26,700 refugees. The primary project beneficiaries include both the refugees and host communities in the five municipalities of Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Osmaniye, Kayseri and Konya targeted under this project and is estimated to be more than 3.3 million.\nApproximately 301,890 refugees (or 9 percent of the total beneficiaries) and 3,021,000 of the host population will be direct beneficiaries of the environmental infrastructure investments under Component 1.\n\n3. **Project Components and Estimated Costs** **[39]** **.** The Project will comprise two components (i) **Component 1. Environmental Infrastructure Investments:** This component will finance the construction and rehabilitation works for water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management infrastructure in the targeted municipalities to achieve improvements in access, service quality and continuity of municipal services; and smaller scale critical facilities to address immediate municipal service needs of vulnerable SUTP and host communities at the neighborhood or settlement level, to be identified in a participatory manner by the beneficiaries. Individual infrastructure facilities will, where appropriate, consider adaptive designs that would allow for a scale up or down of capacity in the event of unanticipated changes in the refugee population. The component may finance goods, works, non-consulting and consultant services towards these activities.\n\n(ii) **Component 2. Technical Assistance for Project Management and Supervision, Capacity Building,**\n\n**Communication and Citizen Engagement.** This component will finance goods and consultancy services for\nthe following activities: a) **Project Management.** This activity will finance goods and consulting services required for coordination and day-to-day project management, including management of procurement and financial management aspects, management of social and environmental safeguards, including dam safety requirements associated with the project, technical and contract management, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and project reporting and communications.\n\nb) **Consultancy services for design review and supervision of environmental infrastructure investments.** This 39 Please see footnote 15, which is applicable for all references to the grant in this Annex.\n\nPage 55 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) activity will finance consultancy services for design review and preparation of bidding documents, taking into account climate change considerations, and supervision of construction and rehabilitation works for proposed environmental infrastructure investments under Component 1.\n\nc) **Citizen Engagement, Public Communication and Visibility activities.** This activity will finance: (i) **Communications and Visibility activities for the project.** A detailed Communication and Visibility Plan will be developed at the start of implementation, in line with EU Communications and Visibility Manual for EU External Actions [40], as well as the World Bank’s external communications guidelines.\nCommunications activities will also seek to target critical public education messaging to different stakeholder groups, including children and youths, and adults in relevant languages.\n\n(ii) **Citizen/Community engagement activities** to facilitate effective two-way engagement among stakeholders, including Turkish citizens and SUTPs and municipalities and SKIs to identify the needs and priorities for enhancing service delivery to all people in the beneficiary communities.\n\nd) **Institutional Capacity Building activities targeting the participating municipalities, utilities and ILBANK.** This activity will finance capacity building activities, including inter-alia, training and workshops aimed to improve performance efficiency, positively change behavior, and increase capacity within municipalities and SKIs/utilities to further modernize their operations to optimize efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery while embracing principles such as resilience, financial and environmental sustainability, and inclusion.

Adana province has a total population of about 2,220,125 people out of which 238,556 (or 10.8 percent of the total population) are SuTP’s [45] . There is one refugee camp, the Saricam Container Camp, in the province of 42 A contingency amount for investments in the amount of about Euro 984,904 will be included in the grant amount for component 1 bringing the total grant amount for the entire project to Euro 134,219,904.\n43 See 42 above i.e. total Grant amount includes the contingency will add up to Euro 134, 219, 904.\n44 This amount includes the front-end fee of US$372,040 shall be included in the project cost.\n45 As per the address-based census45 for 2018 Page 58 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) Adana which hosts about 20,700 SuTP’s [46] . The increased population due to the high influx of refugees resulted in additional demand for municipal and infrastructural services including water systems.\n\n5. The water supply and sanitation services are provided by Adana Water and Sewerage Administration General Directorate (ASKİ). The service provision area of ASKI has increased considerably with the change of Adana to a metropolitan municipality. Majority of the settlements in the region use well water. In drought years and seasons, well yields significantly reduces. The use of groundwater wells and associated pumping in these areas have caused high energy expenditures and operational costs for ASKI. The ageing water supply and distribution networks in the service areas are characterized by high NRW (61.6 percent) and water losses (57.7 percent) [47] . In order to solve water deficiency problems in some settlements of Adana, ASKI has initiated a design for Yedigöze Drinking Water Transmission Line and Water Treatment Plant Project.\n\n6. **Adana Sub-Project.** This Sub-Project aims to supply water to 141 settlements from Yedigöze Dam Reservoir which will eliminate well usage in these settlements. The total project beneficiaries are estimated at 506,636 people out of which 49,423 (or 10 percent of the total population) are SuTP’s. Investments in Adana cover:\n\n- Kozan Imamoglu Yedigoeze Drinking Water Transmission Line (35.4 km transmission line),\n\n- Yedigoeze Water Treatment Plant (capacity: 115,776 m3/day), and\n\n- Kozan Pinargoezu Drinking Water Transmission Line and Network (28.12 km transmission line and 310 km\nnetwork).\n\n7. Through the Project, water will be taken from the existing Yedigöze Dam reservoir (in Ceyhan Basin) and transferred to a new Water Treatment Plant (with a planned capacity of 115,776 m3/day) which will be constructed through the project. The treated water from the Yedigöze WTP will be used to supply safe drinking water to the 4 districts of Imamoglu, Kozan, Ceyhan and Yumurtalik and 137 neighborhoods in the Ceyhan basin. The new system is expected to eliminate the existing use of groundwater wells. Energy costs of the system are expected to decrease significantly as the water from the reservoir will be distributed by gravity. In Kozan, existing asbestos pipes will be replaced with ductile iron and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes which will lead to significant decrease in water losses.

The Syrian population in the Province has increased by 78 percent in the last six years, 2012-2018. In 2018, Kahramanmaraş province had a total population of about 1,144,851 people out of which 92,630 (or 8.1 percent of the total population) were SuTP’s [48] . There is one refugee camp, the Merkez Container Camp, in the province of Kahramanmaraş which hosts about 10,859 SuTP’s [49] . Kahramanmaraş became a Metropolitan Municipality following the administrative reforms, and the water supply and wastewater service utility, Kahramanmaraş Water and Sewerage Administration General Directorate (KASKİ) was established in 2014. In accordance with the changes in municipal legislation, the service area of the Metropolitan Municipality and KASKI is defined by provincial boundaries. Accordingly, the personnel, assets, investments, liabilities, and receivables related to the provision of water and wastewater services carried out before 2014 by the sub-provincial municipalities, the Special Provincial Administration (SPA) and other service providers within the provincial boundaries, were transferred to KASKİ. The provision of solid waste services in terms of waste collections remains with sub-province municipalities, while the disposal and/or recovery of the collected municipal waste is the responsibility of the Metropolitan Municipality.\n\n9. **Kahramanmaraş Sub-Projects** . The proposed subprojects are aimed to improve access to safely managed water supply, sanitation and solid waste services in the proposed project areas in Kahramanmaraş metropolitan municipality. At appraisal stage, six investment sub-projects were identified:\n\n- Kahramanmaraş Northern Districts Integrated Solid Waste Project\n\n- Kahramanmaraş (Centrum) Drinking Water Project\n\n- Kahramanmaraş (Centrum) Sewerage and Storm Water Project\n\n- Elbistan Drinking Water Network Project\n\n- Elbistan Drinking Water Transmission Line\n\n- Ceyhan Basin Wastewater Treatment Plants\n\n10. **Kahramanmaraş Northern Districts Integrated Solid Waste Project.** The sub-project is composed of construction of a sanitary landfill (including a mechanical separation facility of 757 tons/day and a composting plant of 410 tons/day), two transfer stations (in Goksun and Elbistan) and rehabilitation of 24 wild dumpsites. Rehabilitation of 22 wild dumpsites (mainly of former small towns) will be done mainly by transferring dumped wastes to the new landfill site and 2 wild dumpsites (Afsin and Elbistan) will be rehabilitated on site.\n\n11. **Kahramanmaraş (Centrum) Drinking Water Project.** The sub-project includes rehabilitation and construction works in water distribution network including establishment of pressure zones, DMAs, SCADA system and installation of flow meters and pressure reduce valves. Within the scope of this sub-project, there are 59 water reservoir areas of which 38 are planned to be constructed. For the remaining, some of them will be abandoned or rehabilitated. Currently, varying pressure in the distribution network cause problems and the NRW in city is above 60 percent.\n\n12. **Kahramanmaraş (Centrum) Sewerage and Storm Water Project.** The sub-project includes rehabilitation and construction of 400 km sewerage network and 100 km storm water network. The sub-project aims to solve the problematic areas in terms of sewerage and storm water networks in the city center, specifically Onikişubat and 48 As per the address-based census48 for 2018 49 Calculations based on PID for Adana and projected estimates for the year 2020 Page 60 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) Dulkadiroğlu neighborhoods. The city center is located to foothill of Ahır Mountain. The rainwater from the high slopes of the mountain arrives to city center and causes flooding in streets since the closed storm water boxes are not capable of carrying the surface water flow. Recently in June 2018, a storm disaster, caused 3 losses in the city center besides the economic losses. It is reported that some of the storm water manhole lids and grids are covered or remain under roads which also prevents storm water entering through these grids/lids.\n\n13. **Ceyhan Basin Wastewater Treatment Plants.** Ceyhan basin is one of the 25 basins in Turkey extends from İskenderun Bay to inner Anatolia region. Ekinözü, Çağlayancerit, Andırın and Göksun are sub-provinces of Kahramanmaraş and part of Ceyhan basin. According to the Ceyhan Basin Pollution Prevention Plan prepared in 2016, the wastewater treatment plants for Ekinözü, Çağlayancerit, Andırın and Göksun are parts of the measures required to prevent pollution in the basin. The increased population with the addition Syrian refugees increases the pressure on the river basin due to untreated wastewater discharges. The project aims to enable KASKI (General Directorate of Kahramanmaraş Water and Sewage Administration) to provide local population and Syrian refugees with improved wastewater services. The project will also contribute to the prevention of pollution in Ceyhan River Basin.\n\n14. The following 4 WWTPs and relevant collector line constructions are included under the sub-project:\n\n- Ekinoezue WWTP and Collectors: 0.95 km of Ø400 Concrete Pipes, 1.1 km of Ø200 Concrete Pipes, 23\nManholes, 1 pumping station, 1 WWTP\n\n- Çağlayancerit WWTP: 1 WWTP\n\n- Andırın WWTP and Collectors: 4.23 km of Ø400 Concrete Pipes, 3.51 km of Ø200 Concrete Pipes, 163\nManholes, Pumping Station and 600 m Pressure Line (600 m), 1 WWTP\n\n- Goeksun WWTP and Collectors: 4.617 km of (Ø600) HDPE Pipes, 107 Manholes, 1 WWTP\n\n15. **Elbistan Drinking Water Network Project.** Under this sub-project, rehabilitation of 255 km water distribution network, 4,128 km house connections, 3 km pressure lines, six new water reservoirs and five pumping stations will be rehabilitated/constructed. Elbistan city centre’s water is supplied by a group of caisson wells drilled near Ceyhan River. Water from these wells are pumped to 5 existing reservoirs that feed 5 pressure zones. The existing drinking network was first constructed in 1956-1957, then in 1984-1987 and finally in 2009. The pipeline constructed before 2009 is in poor condition. The water losses are high, estimated as 50 percent. Thus, some of the lines need to be renewed and new pipes need to be constructed for extending the distribution network to new developing areas.\n\n16. **Elbistan Drinking Water Transmission Line.** Elbistan Drinking Water Transmission Line includes 120 km water transmission line and 6 water reservoirs (volumes between 100-2000 m3). First part of the transmission line will be constructed by DSI.\n\n17.

In 2018, Konya province had a total population of about 2,205,609 [52] people out of which 109,124 (or 4.95 percent of the total population) were SuTP’s [53] . There are no refugee camps in Konya [54], refugees are mainly living in the central districts of Konya.\nSince 2014, water supply and sanitation services for the metropolitan municipality of Konya are provided by Konya Water and Sewerage Administration General Directorate (KOSKİ). Due to high seasonal variations in the availability of water resources and the high NRW (57 percent) [55], KOSKİ has developed the following investment project for Akşehir district.\n\n23. **Konya Sub-Project.** The proposed Akşehir Water Supply Project will finance the construction of:\n\n- 29 km of water transmission lines,\n\n- 97 km of distribution network including house connections,\n\n- three water reservoirs (3,000, 1,000 and 500 m3) and pressure reducing chambers.\n\n24. Existing water distribution network was constructed in 1990 and the capacity of the system is already reached.\n\nThus, the project aims to renew the existing water system for the city of Aksehir in order to provide healthier and sustainable water services to customers. In Aksehir, drinking water is currently supplied from groundwater wells.\n\n51 According to PID for Kayseri.\n52 As per the address-based census for 2018 53 Calculations based on PID for Konya and projected estimates for the year 2020.\n54 UNHCR Turkey: Syrian Refugee Camps and Provincial Breakdown of Syrian Refugees Registered in South East Turkey (January 2020): _[https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/73300](https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/73300)_, accessed on January 15, 2020 55 According to PID for Konya Page 63 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) Through the project, spring waters in Gemen (15 lt/s), Sucikan (50 lt/s) and Ilica (20 lt/s) will be transmitted and distributed to Aksehir for drinking water purposes. The Project is expected to lead to a significant decrease in energy consumption as spring water will be transmitted by gravity. The total project beneficiaries are estimated at 134,524 people out of which 16,270 (or 12.1 percent of the total population) are SuTP’s [56] .\n\n25. At appraisal stage, two further sub-projects in Konya metropolitan municipality were identified:\n\n- Ilgin Wastewater Treatment Plant\n\n- Cumra Wastewater Treatment Plant\n\n26. The proposed investments for Konya are summarized as follows (Table 2.5):\n\n**Table 2.5 Konya province investment components**\n**No** **Investment name** **Scope** **Budget (million**\n\n**EUR)**\nD-1 Akşehir Water Supply - Construction of water transmission lines (29 km). 4.71 Project - Rehabilitation/construction of 3 water reservoirs (3000, and\n\n- Construction of water transmission lines (29 km).\n\n- Rehabilitation/construction of 3 water reservoirs (3000, and\n500 m3) and installation of pressure reducing chambers construction of network pipelines (97 km) including house connections will be prioritized according to available budget.\n\n4.71 D-2 Ilgin Wastewater Treatment Plant Project D-3 Cumra Wastewater Treatment Plant Project\n\n- Construction of Ilgin Wastewater Treatment Plant Project 3.85\n\n- Construction of Cumra Wastewater Treatment Plant Project 5.38\n\n**Osmaniye Municipality**\n\n27. **Osmaniye context.** In 2018, the total population in Osmaniye province was 534,415 people out of which 51,160 (or 9.6 percent of the total population) are SuTP’s. There is one refugee camp, the Cevdetiye Container Camp, in the province of Osmaniye which hosts about 12,610 SuTP’s [57] .\n\n28. The city center of Osmaniye municipality receives drinking water from three main sources, which are: Zorkun Springs (400 l/s; by gravity), Yenikoey Wells (360 l/s; by pump) and 7 groundwater wells (270 l/s; by pump). The design report indicates that the existing resources are only capable to meet water demand until 2026. For this reason, Osmaniye Municipality has contacted DSİ and 786 l/s water allocation from Aslantaş Dam is received.\n\n29. The existing water distribution network has high NRW (56 percent) and real losses (49 percent) in the system [58] .\n\nThere are no ‘as built drawings’ of the existing water distribution network available, hence, the Municipality receives around 200 system failure calls per month due to failure of pipes (mainly PCV, asbestos and cast-iron pipes exist) in the system or house connections. As there are no ‘as built’ drawings the site operations are carried as trial and error actions. Most of the cast iron pipes have corrosion problems and collapse. These issues extend the repair times and create secondary contamination risks to the system.\n\n56 Calculations based on PID for Konya and projected estimates for the year 2020.\n57 UNHCR Turkey: Syrian Refugee Camps and Provincial Breakdown of Syrian Refugees Registered in South East Turkey (January 2020): _[https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/73300](https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/73300)_, accessed on January 15, 2020 58 According to PID for Osmaniye Page 64 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) 30. The existing wastewater system has a length of around 400 km and consists of concrete and reinforced concrete pipes with diameters ranging from 200 to 1000 mm. The wastewater collection network was mainly constructed in 1985 therefore it is aged, and the pipe material and connection type used are reported in the Project Identification Document (PID) as not suitable to the area specific soil characteristics. Due to the high groundwater level in the project area, most of the existing pipes are full of groundwater and soil granules brought by groundwater infiltration. The Municipality receives 250 failure calls monthly as a result of sediments causing pipe clogging or failures/collapses of the pipes. The municipality cleans annually 250 km of wastewater pipelines by vacuum trucks from sediments and clogging. These problems make operation of the system inefficient due to economic circumstances and staff capacity.\n\n31. **Osmaniye Sub-Project.** The two proposed sub-projects aim at improving the existing water supply and sewerage systems in the city center of Osmaniye. The total project beneficiaries in the proposed project area are estimated at 334,298 people out of which 57,109 (or 17.1 percent of the total population) are SuTP’s [59] .\n\n32. **Osmaniye Centrum Drinking Water Project.** Osmaniye drinking water project will focus on the distribution network and will include construction of approximately 598 km water distribution network (pipe diameters changing from 110 to 900 mm), 5 water reservoirs, pressure release valves, DMAs and auxiliary infrastructure.\nThese activities seek to address critical water supply service constraints faced by the municipalities in delivering effective and efficient services, including: (a) frequent pipe breakage and subsequent contamination of water due to severe corrosion of existing pipes (cast iron, asbestos cement), and high pressure fluctuations – water utility records show about 200 calls per month, with about 30 percent of these related to the main network and 60 percent to customer connections; and (b) non-revenue water is very high at 56 percent, of which 49 percent are real losses.\n\n33. **Osmaniye Centrum Sewerage project.** Osmaniye sewerage project aims renewal of 403 km of wastewater collection network. The existing collection network was mainly constructed in 1985 and is prone to deficiencies due to aging and connection types used at that time. The high groundwater level also creates problems such as high amount of infiltration to the pipes and entrance of soil granules to network, which creates additional costs for operation. It is stated that approximately 100 failure calls are received from customers due to failure and/or collapse of pipes.\n\n34. The project is expected to lead to significant efficiency improvements for the operation of water distribution network and wastewater collection system for Osmaniye Municipality. The investments in the water distribution network will decrease energy consumption, water losses and non-revenue water. This will also allow the Municipality to meet water demand until water is received from Aslantaş dam. Also, failure calls received for both water and wastewater pipelines will be decreased. The improvement in wastewater collection network is also expected to reduce possible groundwater infiltration to the system thus may reduce the wastewater flow to the WWTP. The proposed investments for Osmaniye are summarized as follows (Table 2.6):\n\n**Table 2.6: Osmaniye investment components**\n**No** **Investment name** **Scope** **Budget**\n\n59 Calculations based on PID for Adana and projected estimates for the year 2020.\n\nPage 65 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": ["water utility records"]}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996)\n\n**(million EUR)**\nE-1 Osmaniye (Centrum) Drinking Water Project - Construction of water distribution network (598 27.65 km; 110-900 mm) to be prioritized, 5 water reservoirs, pressure release valves, DMAs and auxiliary structures E -2 Osmaniye (Centrum) Sewerage Project - Wastewater collection network (403 km) will be prioritized according to available budget.\n\n29.91\n\n**Priority Water Supply and Sanitation Investments**\n\n35. Priority water and sanitation investments at neighborhood or settlement level in low income areas most affected by vulnerable SUTPS and host communities may range from facilities such as, inter alia, household water facilities, including taps and laundry facilities, and appropriate toilet facilities, which may be introduced semi-permanent solutions in informal settlements that can be relocated if desired. The following paragraphs conceptually describe one form of potential priority investments that have been used in other countries in similar situations where environmental infrastructure services are urgently required in informal settlings. In this case, priority investments are required to address kay concerns such as risks to public health, high levels of environmental degradation and pollution due to grey water run-off or lack of toilets, and social risks to the most vulnerable, including women and children who are often most impacted by lack of access to safe water and sanitation services.\n\n36. **Non-permanent or movable Community Ablution Blocks (CABs) for informal settlements.** CABs comprise blocks of water and sanitation facilities such as toilets and showers that can be made out of lower cost but durable materials such as refurbished shipping containers to provide services in informal low-income settlements. Various CAB models have used successfully elsewhere in similar situations in countries such as South Africa. The project will support the development of a conceptual design for CABs made from locally available facilities, to be piloted in selected low-income settlements in collaboration with municipalities.\n\n37. Required considerations to implement CABs shall include: (i) land availability to implement a CAB project, with landownership needs to be formally agreed on with municipalities; (ii) space consideration; ideally sites or plots must be greater than 250 m2; (iii) ideally the average slope of the ground must be less than 1:3 for the ease of installation; (iv) environmental considerations, including connection to the main sewer and further treatment etc.; and (v) site having a basic level of water supply. Containers may be designed or tailor-made for the local context and may be equipped with water meters to monitor. They should also be designed in a gender sensitive manner with separated male and female units in different blocks, and fitted with other gender appropriate facilities such as menstrual hygiene facilities for females, facilities for disabled people, and women with small children.\n\n38. Development and introduction of CABs will require engagement of both municipalities and selected recipient communities with vulnerable SUTP and host communities, to be identified by the municipalities, initially on a pilot scale with potential to scale up the model. Community members will continue to be involved in operating and maintenance of the CABs to ensure their proper use and management. Management of such facilities may provide employment / income generating activities for local community members, including women. However, appropriate design of the operation and maintenance arrangements will be determined in collaboration with the respective municipalities and communities during development of the facilities. Below is an example of a conceptual layout of CABs.\n\nPage 66 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996)\n\n**ANNEX 3: Economic and Financial Analysis**\n\n**Rationale for Public Sector Investment**\n\n1. The rationale for public sector financing under the proposed project is mainly linked to the important social\n\nand political goals of the Government of Turkey and the EU to address the impacts of the Syrian refugee crisis in the most affected parts of the country. Direct fiscal impact depends on what the state would have done in the absence of the project financing for the subprojects. In this case the fiscal savings are direct and significant given cost savings arising from the reduced state and local governments financing to provide certain services, owing to project investments. Limited capacity to attract private sector financing by the municipalities in the targeted investment areas due to the overall perceived risks, necessitates public sector financing.\n\n**Rationale for Bank’s Involvement**\n\n2. The World Bank has been a long-term partner of Turkey in the water and sanitation, and water resources management sectors. In this instance, the Bank’s involvement occurs at the backdrop of severe service pressures on the municipal services due to the refugee situation, providing contingent funding for critical works to preserve adequate service provision. In this context the knowledge and global experiences of the Bank are highly valuable to the GoT. The Bank has substantial global experience in supporting programs and managing policy dialogue to improve service delivery in areas affected by refugees. Bank support has been provided in form of financial support, Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA) services, and operational support towards implementation of multi-donor funded programs. Globally, the Bank has supported the preparation of needs assessments for refugee host countries, AAA on affected communities, and implementation of activities for provision and expansion of basic services in various sectors to accommodate the increased pressure on existing systems due to refugees. The Bank has also used its convening power in the past to bring together different stakeholders, including municipalities affected by refugees and others to share lessons across sectors.\n\n**Cost Benefit Analysis**\n\n3. The financial and economic analysis focus on the project’s subcomponents with specific investments that materialize direct or indirect economic benefits and costs. The economic viability of subprojects will assess the value from project infrastructure investments without considering sub-project’s benefits from technical assistance aimed at building capacity or improving knowledge and technical expertise.\n\n**Methodology**\n\n4. Costs and benefits are estimated at constant prices for 2018. All benefits and costs were appraised measuring their flow of costs and benefits for the lifetime of the sub-projects, ranging from 25 to 33 years. Costs and benefits were expressed in constant prices as of 2018 at an exchange rate of 5.4852 TL per Euro. The discount recommended by the World Bank guideline is 6 percent, and the analysis used a higher discount rate of 10 percent to weigh in economic risks in discounting flows to present values. The main approach used for this economic analysis is to compare the costs and benefits with and without project scenarios using European Commission CBA Guide.\n\nPage 67 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996)\n\n**A) Adana Sub-projects**\n\n5. Kozan Drinking Water and Transmission Line Project: This activity includes the renewal of water network pipes including house connections, construction of 28 km gravity and pressure transmission lines, pump stations, reservoirs, collection tanks and auxiliary structures. These investments will ensure effective operation of the whole water supply system, contribute to the reduction of non-revenue water to regulation limits and increase service delivery quality levels.\n\n6. A Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) was carried out as part of the Feasibility Study in line with the Guide to Cost Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects, EC Directorate General Regional Policy, 2014. This reflected an ENPV of EUR1.9 million and EIRR of 11.0 percent. The financial analysis resulted in a FRR/C of -3.29 percent and a FRR/K of 18.36 percent. The social affordability analysis showed that no affordability constraints will be faced throughout the analysis period as the full cost recovery tariffs (EUR 0.96/m3) are below maximum affordable tariff which is set at 2.5 percent of median household income equating to EUR 1.05/m3 (both figures are excluding VAT).\n\n7. Sensitivity analysis has been carried to see the impact of the variations of the critical variables including investment, personnel and power costs as well as health benefits on the economic performance of the project. Accordingly, 1 percent change in investment costs and health benefits led to a change above 1 percent in the ENPV in absolute terms at -1.98 percent and 2.41 percent respectively.\n\n8. Proposed Kozan Drinking Water Project will significantly contribute to the reduction of non-revenue water (app. 61 percent) to the Regulation limits and provide benefits for the efficient operation of the whole network afterwards. Pınargözü Transmission Line Project will ensure safe gravity water supply to District centrum in the short term. Both investments will increase service delivery quality levels of the consumers, which suffer from frequent water interruptions and low pressure.\n\n9. Yedigöze Drinking Water Transmission Line and Yedigöze Treatment Plant Project will serve 141 settlements of Adana city. These settlements include 4 sub-provinces (Kozan, İmamoğlu, Ceyhan and Yumurtalık districts) and 137 surrounding neighborhoods on the route of the transmission line.\n\n10. Specific objectives of these two proposed projects are; Construction of a treatment plant with a capacity of 115K m3/day introducing a conventional treatment process including coagulation, flocculation, filtering and disinfection, construction of 35.4 km ductile iron transmission line with auxiliary structures (washout and air relief valve chambers, etc.). Therefore, lack of safe water sources problem for 4 Sub-provinces and 137 neighborhoods (total 141 settlements) shall be solved. It will eliminate well usage in these settlements and so contribute reduction of the energy costs. Improvement of the underground water levels shall be achieved which also suffer from high withdrawal rates caused from irrigation and water supply activities.\n\nPage 68 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) 11.

Using data on the waste production, it was found that the GHG emission reduction was positive because of the shift from open dumping to management of waste in a landfill with landfill gas capture.\nEmissions decreased because of landfill gas capture, which prevents the methane generated by waste within landfills from entering the environment. Using the market price of EUR 24.6/tCO2, the social benefits of the avoided GHG are worth about EUR 1.6 million for the entire project life.\n\n**Table 3.4 Methane Emissions**\n\n**Methane emissions impact calculation*** **2017** **Project�Life**\n\n**30�years**\nWith�action For�Managed�landfill�(tons�CO2e)=�A 19.189 Baseline For�Unmanaged�landfill�-�less�than�5m�deep�(tons�CO2e)=�B 21.321 Avoided�methane�emissions�(CO2e)=�B-A 2.132 63.962 Avoided�GHG�Monetary�Benefits�(EUR)** 52.470 1.574.107\n\n*World�Bank�Climate�Action�for�Urban�Sustainability�GHG�Accounting�Tool\n**Price�data�from�https://origin.markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/co2-european-emission-allowances\n\n**C) Kayseri Sub-project**\n\n20. Kayseri WWTP Capacity Extension Project 21. Kayseri WWTP project is designed to meet the needs of the city with increasing population and expanding industrial facilities. Year of 2025 is selected as target year as of when all the wastewater will be discharged after being treated. Kayseri has a reported Syrian guest percentile at 4.3 percent of its local population. Over its lifetime of 30 years, project will have a FNPV of EUR3,545,000 with an FIRR of 12.2 percent.\n\n22. The project will yield an E-NPV of 10,918,408 with an ERR of 25.6 percent and has a cost/benefit ratio calculated as 1.62. According to the World Bank Water GP GHG Calculation Model, project’s gross emissions were 369,064 tons CO2e, net emissions were 118,894 tons CO2e and net average annual emissions were 3,963 tons CO2e.\n\n**E) Osmaniye Sub-project**\n\n23. Osmaniye (Centrum) Drinking Water and Sewerage Network Projects 24. Osmaniye needs to enlarge its sewerage and drinking water networks to meet the legislative requirements for the collection of urban wastewaters and for the supply of good quality water. In accordance with Turkey’s physical planning guidelines for water and wastewater infrastructure, the Osmaniye wastewater collection system is designed using a 35-year horizon in order to respond to the needs of increasing population with an over 20 percent ratio of Syrian guests.\n\n25. The project will produce a negative FNPV of -EUR10.6 million with an FIRR of 7.5 percent. Economic analysis yields ENPV of EUR 65,019,026 with an ERR of 23.82 percent and benefit/cost ratio of 9.17 thus justifying the project on economic basis. Using World Bank Water GP GHG Calculation Model, project’s gross emissions were 244,082 tons CO2e, net emissions were 990,958 tons CO2e and net average annual emissions were Page 72 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) 28,299 tons CO2e.\n\n**Financial Estimates of Utilities and Municipality**\n\n26. Financial budget results for the last three years covering 2016-2018 and estimates for the next three years of the water utilities and for Adana, Kahramanmaras and Kayseri together with Municipality of Osmaniye are provided below. These constitute a baseline assessment of their financial position reflecting level of financial sustainability. Based on their past budget results all three utilities have generated positive current balances enabling them to finance part of their capital expenditure after debt interest payment. Municipality of Osmaniye has also been reporting positive current balances though with narrow margins reflecting its relatively limited revenue potential due to its non-metropolitan status.\n\n27. For three-year projections operating revenue from water services and other tax related central government transfers are assumed to increase at least by consumer inflation rate with some real tariff adjustments in 2020 and 2021 above expected inflation. These would amount to a combined tariff increase of 30 percent over the three-year period still enabling the affordability rates remaining below 2.5 percent of median household income.\n\n**Table 3.5

Further detailed financial management assessments and creditworthiness analysis have been carried out for sub-borrowers Adana, Kahramanmaras and Kayseri water utilities along with municipalities of Kahramanmaras Metropolitan and Osmaniye. These have covered qualitative financial management areas as well as fiscal performance, expenditure coverage and indebtedness for the last five years and a projection period of five years.\n\n29. The capacity of Adana SKI to clear its debts using the operating surplus is 1.1 years in 2014 and increased to 2.2 years in 2018 with an average of 2 years over the period from 2014 to 2018. The number of years for the 2019 – 2021 budget period is expected to be less than a year. The capacity of Kahramanmaras SKI to clear its debts using the operating surplus is 3.5 years in 2014 and decreased to 0.9 years in 2018 with an average of\n1.2 years. The number of years for the 2019 – 2021 budget period is expected to be 1.5 years. The capacity\nof Kayseri SKI to clear its debts using the operating surplus is 1.4 years in 2014 and increased to 2.3 years in 2018 with an average of 2.1 years over the period from 2014 to 2018. The number of years for the 2019 – 2021 budget period is expected to be 1.96 on the average.\n\n30. Financial projections for the water utilities and municipalities have indicated that these entities will incur additional debt in the project implementation period with debt outstanding to current revenue peaking at 32 percent for Adana SKI, 45 percent for Kahramanmaras SKI, and 21 percent for Kayseri SKI. For the municipalities debt service burden will increase and self-funding ability from current balance will be stretched with debt service to current revenue reaching 43 percent for Kahramanmaras MM and 42 percent for Osmaniye. Sub-borrowers are forecast to maintain ability to meet financial commitments nonetheless remain exposed to adverse economic conditions.\n\nPage 75 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996)\n\n**Table 3.9: Summary Economic Analysis Results**\n\nNPV of Total Costs NPV of Total Benefits E-IRR (%) (EUR) Adana Kozan Drinking Water and Transmission Line Adana Yedigöze Drinking Water Transmission and WWTP Kahramanmaras Ceyhan Basin (Andırın&Goksun) WWTP Kahramanmaras Northern Districts Integrated Solid Waste Management Kayseri WWTP Expansion Osmaniye Water and Sewerage Network\n\n**Conclusion**\n\nEconomic NPV 1,913,523 22,009,027 23,922,550 11.0\n\n-24,497,839\n\n170,146 3,832,084 10,918,408 65,019,026 44,492,053 7,134,821 26,118,978 20,369,926 7,956,038 19,994,214 7,304,967 29,951,062 30,955,334 72,975,064 6.4 10.4 11.5 25.6 23.8 31. The influx of Syrian guests to several Municipalities of Turkey over the past years has led to an increase in infrastructural requirements caused by increasing water demands, wastewater generation and solid waste generation. This has burdened Municipalities’ ability to provide effective level of service both to their local residents, as well as to the guest population.\n\n32. The entire project comprising various sub-projects by different implementing authorities will not produce commercially profitable results in each instance. Nonetheless, it will create viable results underpinned by net economic benefits to be accrued in total. With the implementation of the proposed projects, the capacity of the water entities (SKI) and their municipalities will be strengthened in terms of infrastructure and technical capacities, enabling them to better respond to the significant increase in demands for municipal services.\nThrough the technical assistance components, SKIs are also expected to prepare Performance Improvement Action Plans, which will, among other things focus on improving their performance efficiency and financial viability through appropriate actions targeting results such as improved revenue collection, cost reduction, non-revenue water reduction, etc.\n\nPage 76 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996)\n\n**ANNEX 4: Procurement**\n\n1. **Applicable regulations.** The World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers – July 2016 revised in November\n\n2017 and August 2018 (“Procurement Regulations”) will apply to the proposed Project. A General Procurement Notice will be published on the World Bank’s external website and United Nations Development Business online immediately after the project negotiations.\n\n2. **Anti-Corruption Guidelines** . The World Bank's “Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants”, dated October 15, 2006 and revised in January 2011 and as of July 1, 2016 (Anti-Corruption Guidelines)” will apply to the proposed Project.\n\n3. **Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD).** The Procurement Regulations requires the Borrower to develop a PPSD for the Project. Since ILBANK and targeted municipalities are considered urgent need of assistance described under paragraph 12 of OP10.00, a simplified Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD) a has been prepared by ILBANK. The draft PPSD describes how procurement activities will support project operations for the achievement of the PDOs and deliver value for money. The PPSD is linked to the overall project implementation strategy by ensuring proper sequencing of procurement activities. It provides information on institutional arrangements for procurement, roles and responsibilities, appropriate procurement methods, procurement duediligence, and other requirements needed for carrying out procurement. The PPSD also includes a detailed description of the procurement capacity needed by the executing agencies for carrying out procurement with specific focus on managing contract implementation, governance structure, and accountability framework. In addition, PPSD is supported with a market research and analysis assesses market-related risks and opportunities that will affect the preferred procurement approach to market strategy.\n\n4. PPSD confirmed that the selection of “Design Review and Supervision Consultant(s)” are located as “ **strategic**\n\n**security** ” procurement in the supply positioning matrix. It is envisaged that these consultants will support ILBANK\n(PMU)/municipalities for the preparation of the bidding documents for the infrastructure investments, and therefore, consultants’ timely input is very critical for the initiation of the relevant procurements planned in the procurement plan. Considering the limited time for the implementation project and urgent need of the services, PPSD proposed to use “consultant’s qualification-based selection” method in the procurement of the six consultant’s contracts in line with the guidance on fit-for-purpose principle. Accordingly, use of higher thresholds proposed for the “consultant’s qualification-based selection” method. It was envisaged that the proposed approach will accelerate the selection of “Design Review and Supervision Consultant(s)” and will support to deliver the project development objectives. The selected consultant will also provide services to relevant municipalities/utilities for the quality assurance of the works and timely completion on the contracts within their original contract prices.\n\n5. In the selection of six “Design Review and Supervision Contract(s)”, a streamlined procedure of single simultaneous international advertisement has been foreseen to collect the interests of the consultants. The firms with best qualifications and relevant experience determined, and based on their capacity and interest, eligible firms will be invited to submit their technical and financial proposals for the relevant contracts. In order to mitigate risks attributable to the perception of integrity matters, PPSD proposed ILBANK to engage independent Probity Assurance Providers to be present during the contract negotiation stages of the relevant contracts.\n\n6. PPSD discussed that contracting of individuals in accordance with the Procurement Regulations will give flexibility in decision making to the project implementation teams in ILBANK and in the beneficiary municipalities in addition to Page 77 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) maintaining uniformity in the followed selection procedures under the project. Therefore, PPSD proposed to hire the individual experts required for ILBANK PMU and municipal project implementation units in accordance with the individual consultant selection procedures as specified in the Procurement Regulations. These include but not limited to Procurement Specialist, Contract Management Consultant, Financial Management Specialist, Environmental Specialist, Social Specialist, Monitoring and Evaluation Expert and Communication Specialist.\n\n7. The PPSD further analyzed the risks against the size of the proposed infrastructure contracts and thus all works procurements were positioned as “ **strategic critical** ” in the supply positioning matrix. And thus, the procurements of these contracts were packaged carefully considering the outcome of the market sounding i.e. availability of the capable contractors in the market who may respond to the ILBANK needs. As a conclusion, PPSD proposed to use National Procurement Procedures as specified in the Procurement Regulations by increasing the thresholds normally used in Turkey for similar contracts. The market sounding concluded that there are more than 50 national firms in each of the water, waste-water and solid waste sectors who may be qualified alone or in association with others for the proposed contracts. Also, it has been observed in the procurements of Bank financed MSP-I, MSP-II and SCP projects that the interest of the foreign bidders was very limited especially in city water and wastewater network construction works.\n\n8. **Procurement Plan and Procurement Tracking.** The Procurement Regulations require the Borrower to use the Bank’s Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) online procurement tracking tool to prepare, clear and update its procurement plans, and conduct all procurement transactions. ILBANK will create the procurement plan through STEP prior to initiating any procurement. The PPSD and the underlying Procurement Plan will be updated at least annually or as required to reflect actual project implementation needs.

Contracting and Retroactive Financing) permits that the Borrower may wish to proceed with the procurement process before signing of the Legal Agreement. In such cases, if the eventual contracts are to be eligible for Bank financing the procurement procedures, including advertising, shall be consistent with Sections I, II and III of the Procurement Regulations which cover the _Bank’s Core Procurement Principles of economy, efficiency, transparency, fairness, fit-for purpose, value-for-money_ _and integrity._ With this understanding, ILBANK will initiate the selection of the PIU consultants and design review and supervision consultants’ selection upon publication of the General Procurement Notice in the UN Development Business online.\n\n11. **Procurement Methods and Standard Procurement Documents.** While comprehensive selection methods and use of Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents will be applicable, due to emergency response nature of the project, arrangements will be used in the project procurements. Higher thresholds will be used for the national streamlined procurement procedures and simple selection procedures will apply for the selection consultants as specified in the Page 83 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) approved procurement plan. Determined thresholds and selection methods will be reviewed by the Bank during the project supervisions and/or when the Bank decides and will be updated as appropriate.\n\n12. **National Procurement Procedures.** When approaching the national market, as agreed in the Procurement Plan, Turkey's national procurement procedures will be used by ILBANK in accordance with the provisions in paragraphs 3.21-3.23; 3.30; 3.32; 5.3; 5.4; 5.5 and 5.7(a) of the Procurement Regulations. In such procurements, bidding documents agreed by the Bank in Turkish language including mandatory provisions specified in the procurement plan will be used.\n\n13. **Procurement Risk Assessment.** The World Bank has conducted a procurement assessment for the project, with a focus on ILBANK in terms of: (i) procurement regulatory framework and management capability; (ii) integrity and oversight; (iii) procurement process and market readiness; and (iv) procurement complexity. The assessment concludes that: (a) applicable procurement policies and the regulatory system are designed broadly to meet Core Procurement Principles of value for money, economy, efficiency, effectiveness, integrity, transparency and fairness and accountability; (b) ILBANK has a clear system of accountability with clearly defined responsibilities and delegation of authority on who has control of procurement decisions; (c) there is a clear identified target market for all procurements; and (d) ILBANK/Municipalities effectively manages contracts to ensure delivery as per the contract conditions. The assessment is recorded in the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System of the Bank.\n\n14. ILBANK will undertake the overall responsibility of the project implementation and coordination through its Project Management Unit (PMU) located under the International Relations Department. PMU was originally established in 2005 for the Bank financed MSP-I project and has been continuously operational throughout MSP-II, SCP-I, SCP-II, and SCP-II additional financing projects. Hence, PMU is experienced in Bank financed projects and familiar with World Bank procurement procedures and contract management. All the procurements under the proposed project will be conducted by ILBANK/PMU centrally. The technical requirements in the selection documents will be agreed by the municipalities/utilities. The beneficiary municipalities/utilities will attend the bid evaluation committees and sign the respective contracts.\n\n15. ILBANK PMU is linked to three separate units namely Contract Management Unit, Financial Management Unit and Technical Management Unit. The procurement management is under the responsibility of the Contract Management Unit. Considering fast track urgent response nature of the project, and heavy work load of existing PMU staff due to other Bank financed SCP-I, SCP-II and SCP-II additional financing projects, and also from projects of other IFIs, a dedicated procurement team will be established under the PMU with minimum 2 procurement experts who are familiar with the Bank procurement procedures. This dedicated procurement team (FRIT procurement team) will be supported by several specialized departments within ILBANK including Investment Coordination Department and Technical Management Team. The FRIT procurement team will be mainly responsible for the implementation and coordination of the procurement activities within the scope of the project. In case of need, Investment Coordination Department with vast experience in procurement under the public procurement procedures will bring additional capacity to the FRIT procurement team. When needed, PMU will be supported by Project Department responsible for review and approval of feasibility studies under the project. In addition, Infrastructure Implementation Department will provide support to the review of technical specifications; and several other administrative departments such as Accounting and Financial Affairs, IT, and Banking Services will be ready provide support when needed.\n\n16. The beneficiary municipalities/utilities have certain technical and procurement capacity to operate their regular services with varying staff capacity depends on the size of the city. For example, while there are 78 technical and Page 84 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) procurement staff exists in Osmaniye, similar staff number reaches to 554 in KOSKA (Konya Water and Wastewater Utility) including 433 technicians and 5 procurement experts. Some of the municipalities have experience to work with IFIs in their investment projects financing but in most of the cases experienced staff may not be available for the proposed project. Considering limited implementation duration of the project, the participating municipalities/utilities will establish dedicated project implementation units comprised of procurement and technical experts. These experts will be involved in the selection process of the design review and supervision consultants, works contractors, good suppliers and management of concluded contracts. The participating municipalities/utilities will hire experts experienced in the procurement and management of the contracts in the Bank financed projects, if such staff already not exist in their teams.\n\n17. Given the emergency nature of the project and limited implementation time; and taking into account the existing work load of ILBANK; and procurement and contract management capacity of beneficiary municipalities/utilities; the overall procurement risk for the project is assessed as “substantial”. The risk rating can be lowered to “Moderate” when the agreed actions in Table 4.2 below have been put in place. The assessment will be recorded in the Procurement Risk Assessment and Management System of the Bank.\n\n**Table 4.2: Identified Risks and Agreed Action Plan**\n**Action**\n**Identified Risk** **Mitigation Measure** **Responsible Party** **Time Frame**\n**No.**\n\nThroughout the ILBANK project procurement process.\n\nPage 85 of 94\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\nILBANK has been implementing three World Bank financed projects and the projects financed by other IFIs simultaneously.

To increase the ownership among municipalities and build the bridges between project implementation units and management teams, it is important to organize a series of meetings in the beginning of project implementation. The meetings will set the ground for understanding the project objectives, agreeing collectively on a roadmap, addressing potential challenges on the way ahead. It will also become an effective platform to enable two-way communication where municipalities can raise operational bottlenecks during implementation. Close involvement of municipalities, sewerage utilities and other stakeholders to the entire process is key, particularly during strategic decision-making processes in which accurate background data and information is needed for effective project execution.\n\n**(b)** _**Raise awareness of the residing population regularly on project progress and results.**_\n\n6.

This will require a set of actions aiming at informing the residents at critical points where they will be aware on: (i) what happens in their neighborhood; (ii) why it is needed; (iii) when the construction work will start and how long it will take to complete it; and (iv) by whom it is led.\n\n7. Main project information and critical dates need to be shared in public information meetings and other online platforms (website and social media of municipalities, NGOs, governorate). In addition to that, construction parapets are functional and visible spaces to illustrate the planned work and inform community in the neighborhood about the expected results and start/end dates of operational work. Providing timely, relevant and life-enhancing information about the work carried out under the project would address some risks and underlying vulnerabilities. It would also avoid negative reactions rooting from ongoing construction and its temporary environmental impacts. Stressing the benefits (eg: “X amount of water will be saved with the rehabilitation of the pipelines.”) could be accompanied to the key project information content in the signboards surrounding the construction area.\n\n8. One way to address misinformation risks could be achieved by involving community leaders of affected groups and maintain a continuous dialogue with them via public information meetings on their questions and concerns. Updated FAQ sheets in print and visual format would be useful to reach target communities via social media, SMS, hand-outs and videos. It is also crucial to acknowledge project’s contribution once the operation work is completed in constructed or rehabilitated facilities via signboards and temporary outdoor ads. (eg: “With this water treatment plant, x amount of water was treated and provided as safe drinking water to X number of households in the municipality).\n\n_**(c)**_ _**Increase awareness on the project’s results; particularly promoting project’s impact on environment and**_ _**people’s everyday lives.**_ 9. Project opening and closing ceremonies, local information meetings, on-site ceremonies of completed works, workshops and trainings will be timely opportunities to inform public and local actors on the project results and progress. These events, as well as dissemination materials including posters, brochures, reports, training materials and all other project documents will be prepared in line with EU visibility guidelines. Any refurbishment, equipment and technology infrastructure will acknowledge EU’s financial support, providing an explanation on project’s contribution to water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure in the provinces and EU’s financial support on construction sites such as new water reservoirs, pressure release chambers, rehabilitated pipelines, water reservoirs and pumping stations.\n\n10. News releases, event announcements, human-interest stories, audio-visual materials will be published on websites of municipalities and/or separate project website with clear acknowledgment of EU contributions.\nPress releases and success stories marking project achievements, updates and progress will be disseminated through local and national media outlets. Exclusive interviews and op-eds will be facilitated through the local and national TV/radio networks.\n\n11. For audio-visual materials, it would be possible to build a narrative around a group of people who have experienced a positive change that comes with the improved conditions in water facilities. Project’s impact in the areas of sanitation, provision of drinking water, waste water and solid waste management will be told through human stories. The stories could be coupled with before/after conditions of a project site (e.g: rehabilitated dumpsite) or improved access of a Turkish/refugee household to drinkable water etc.\n\nPage 90 of 94", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}, "entity_descriptions": {"named_data": "A dataset, survey, database, index, census, registry, or information system with a specific proper name that can be cited, queried, or downloaded as a data source", "descriptive_data": "A data source described by its characteristics or producer rather than a proper name, containing a data noun and at least one identifying descriptor", "vague_data": "A general reference to data, information, or statistics that contains a data noun but lacks enough specificity to identify the exact source"}}, "source": "refugee_pads"} -{"input": "**The World Bank**\nMunicipal Services Improvement Project in Refugee Affected Areas (P169996) 12. It is key to have an online platform where all project information and audio-visual documents are shared and displayed for public and project stakeholders. This could be achieved either through launching a project website or creating project-dedicated webpages under each municipality website.
