Core Insights - The report highlights the challenges in accurately measuring intimate partner violence (IPV) due to concerns over anonymity and privacy, particularly in rural areas with high illiteracy rates [3][8][33] - The study demonstrates that using audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI) significantly increases the disclosure of IPV, with reported rates rising by 41% to 57% when sensitive questions are asked privately first [11][34] Summary by Sections Introduction - Accurate data collection on IPV is difficult due to fear, shame, and stigma associated with reporting, especially in face-to-face interviews where anonymity is lacking [8][33] - Self-administered surveys are impractical in populations with high illiteracy, and privacy concerns are heightened in low-income or rural settings [8][33] Methodology - The research involved modifying existing measurement tools to better fit the context of rural poverty and conducting two experiments: one to assess understanding and another to compare the effects of ACASI versus face-to-face interviews on IPV reporting [9][10][33] - The study was conducted with over 6,000 currently married women from rural poor households in Punjab, Pakistan, with a high illiteracy rate of 93% among participants [13][33] Key Findings - Despite high illiteracy, respondents demonstrated a good understanding of the ACASI method, and the order of response options did not affect reporting outcomes [10][33] - Initial private responses to sensitive questions led to significantly higher subsequent disclosures of IPV in face-to-face interviews, indicating that private questioning can enhance openness and consistency in reporting [11][34] Conclusion - The findings suggest that introducing sensitive topics in a private manner can effectively improve the accuracy of IPV data collection, with the study showing a notable increase in reported IPV incidents when using ACASI first [34][33]

Group 1 - The report emphasizes the need to transform cities into engines of economic growth and inclusivity, highlighting that urbanization is not inherently a driver of inclusive growth [10][25][26] - South Africa faces significant urban mobility challenges, with limited connectivity and high transportation costs disproportionately affecting low-income workers [16][20][21] - The report outlines a framework of ten actions and 24 short-term recommendations aimed at addressing urban transport and development issues, with a focus on immediate relief and long-term reform [18][19][36] Group 2 - Priority actions include improving passenger rail performance, enhancing the efficiency and affordability of minibus taxis, and redirecting urban planning policies towards higher density development [42][43][44] - The report identifies the need for public-private partnerships to enhance the performance of the passenger rail system and integrate minibus taxis into the urban transport network [43][45][56] - It highlights the importance of adjusting zoning and land use regulations to encourage development closer to commercial areas and to promote financial support for strategic projects [12][19][66] Group 3 - The report notes that high transportation costs significantly impact low-income workers, with commuting expenses consuming a large portion of their income [20][27][34] - It discusses the historical context of urban mobility issues in South Africa, linking them to the legacy of apartheid and inadequate investment in public transport systems [17][22][23] - The report stresses the necessity of substantial investment in transport infrastructure and urban development to create more compact and accessible cities [35][64]

方法论文 世界银行集团对撒哈拉以南非洲电力获取支持效果评估 （2015–24年） 2025年2月19日 1. 背景 i Context 1.1 本评估评估了世界银行集团在2015-24年期间对支持撒哈拉以南非洲地区电力接入所 做的贡献。电力接入是指最终用户使用能源供应来获取所需能源服务的能力。因此，电 力接入包括供应和需求因素。 1 本评估基于2015年独立评估组（IEG）对该同一主题的 评估（世界银行2015），但聚焦于撒哈拉以南非洲，因为主要电力接入差距仍存在于该 区域，并且世界银行集团已经恢复了至2030年填补差距的努力。 1.2 提高可靠、可持续和经济的电力接入对于改善人类福祉和提升生产力至关重要。电 力接入能够推动教育、医疗保健、清洁水、通信、金融服务和收入生成等方面的变革性 变化，同时增强安全感和减少贫困。提供可靠、可持续和经济的能源接入是创造一个无 贫困、提高生产力和支持经济发展的世界条件的一步（Bhatia和Angelou 2015）。 1.3 电力获取可通过扩大电网或通过非电网方式进行。传统的电力电网包括网络化发电、 传输和配电设施，通常由公用事业公司管理。非电网电气化通过分散的网络系统（微 ...

公共披露授权 2025年1月22日 建立规模 企业报告第44号 欧盟的机构规模分布* M. Nazım Tamkoç T 他的简报研究了欧盟国家的企业规模分布。已有的文献已经确立，低收入国家中小企业 的过剩是资源配置不当的证据。为了调查这一现象，本简报分析了欧洲联盟国家及区域在NUT S1和NUTS2层级上，经济中企业前10%的平均规模（以就业人数衡量）和就业份额。结果显示 ，高收入国家平均企业规模较大，且在顶端的10%企业中的就业集中度高于低收入国家。这些 发现适用于NUTS1和NUTS2的区域层级。此外，企业规模随着企业年龄的增长、外国所有权的 水平和出口水平的提高而增加。最后，对企业整体规模分布的比较表明，低收入国家中小企业 的比例较高，而大企业较少，这证实了资源配置不当文献中的预测。 小公司规模与资源配置不当之间的关系 文献中普遍认为，全要素生产率（TFP）的差异 是各国人均收入差异的主要决定因素（Klenow 和Rodriguez-Clare，1997；Prescott，1998； Hall和Jones，1999；Caselli，2005；以及Hsie h和Klenow，2010）。TFP差异的一个 ...

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry. Core Insights - Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health issues are significant and growing challenges for global public health and sustainable development, exacerbated by high-risk factors and the COVID-19 pandemic [2][3] - There is a critical need for increased public funding for NCDs and mental health services, particularly in low-income countries, where most spending comes from out-of-pocket expenses [3][6] - The report emphasizes the importance of domestic financing, health taxes, and development assistance in addressing the funding gap for NCDs and mental health [9][12] Summary by Sections Section 1: Introduction - NCDs and mental health problems are major global health challenges, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the vulnerability of affected individuals [2] Section 2: National Policy Responses - National policies often fail to meet health demands due to limited fiscal capacity, leading to low public spending on NCDs and mental health, particularly in low-income countries [3][7] Section 3: Domestic Financing - Domestic resources are essential for funding NCD and mental health programs, with health taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks identified as effective revenue sources [9][10] Section 4: Development Assistance - Development assistance plays a catalytic role in funding NCD and mental health initiatives, but it should not be seen as a long-term financing solution [12][15] Section 5: Conclusion - Increased public funding is necessary to meet the commitments made by national governments regarding health-related sustainable development goals, particularly for NCDs and mental health [18][21]
