IoT in Action (Main Findings): - It is still early days for IoT in government and most initiatives are in the pilot or proof of concept stage.- The value proposition of IoT for government to business services is evident, but the business model is unclear.- There are few clear and enabling IoT-related policies and regulatory frameworks in place yet.- Institutional capacity, competency, and education need upgrades.- Data are central to IoT, but there is inconsistent understanding of data’s value and management.- IoT-specific infrastructure remains a barrier even in advanced economies.- The government often plays a crucial role as an IoT enabler - Successful IoT pilots share several characteristics. 1. Inspirational leadership is key to kick-start projects, accelerate progress, and sustain momentum. 2. Most IoT engagements are led by municipal/city/ subnational governments, not their federal counterparts3. The “smart city” tag is a major driver for IoT initiatives.4. Independent, third-party “coordinators” play a key implementation role.5. Focus on the local.6. Public-private partnerships can provide a sustainable model.The IoT Toolkit – What Governments Can Do: - Leadership/policy- Strategy and implementation- Capacity and engagement.

Trade can dramatically improve women's lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women's bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

This study aims at understanding the performance of primary health care providers and the variables driving this performance using the World Development Report (WDR) 2004 accountability framework. The study is primarily based on quantitative surveys at the level of primary health care facilities, health care personnel, and households in their vicinity. These surveys were implemented in four states: Bauchi, Cross River, Kaduna, and Lagos. Despite large Government efforts, the delivery of quality primary health care services remains a challenge in the country. The condition of the infrastructure

One-quarter of the world's school-age children live in East Asia and Pacific. During the past 50 years, some economies in the region have successfully transformed themselves by investing in the continuous upgrading of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of their workforce. Through policy foresight, they have produced graduates with new levels of knowledge and skills almost as fast as industries have increased their demand for skilled workers.Yet the success of these high-performing systems has not been replicated throughout the region. Tens of millions of students are in school but not learning, and as many as 60 percent of students remain in school systems that are struggling to escape from the global learning crisis or in systems where performance is likely poor. Many students in these systems fail to reach basic levels of proficiency in key subjects and are greatly disadvantaged because of it.Growing Smarter: Learning and Equitable Development in East Asia and Pacific focuses on the experiences of economies in the region that have been able to expand schooling and learning and showcases those that have managed to pursue successful education reforms at scale. By examining these experiences, the report provides both diagnoses and detailed recommendations for improvement not only for education systems within East Asia and Pacific but also for countries across the globe. In East Asia and Pacific, the impressive record of success in education in some low- and middle-income countries is proof of concept that schooling in resource-constrained contexts can lead to learning for all. This report identifies the policies and practices necessary to ensure that students learn and suggests how countries can improve learning outcomes.
