III. Allocations of Contributions

Since KCPs inception, $6.7 million has been contributed by and received from seven
donors.
Based on donor preferences, these contributions have been allocated almost evenly

Bank policy precludes donors from specifically earmarking resources under multidonor trust
fund programs like the KCP, however, they may express strong support for certain
studies or
program activities. KCP donors specify the proportion of funds they wish to
contribute to the
two KCP trust funds. While some have contributed in equal shares, others have

two trust

Rating:
The objective of this study is to help formulate land policies that promote greater
Satisfactory
access
to land by the poor. We are pleased to report that background information on the
legal
framework in different states has been collected. The main analytical work was
delayed
pending the receipt of essential data. To discuss the policy issues and
preliminary results
and significant support from the Banks operational department, a 2-day
workshop
attended by representatives from all states was held in May 2004. This indicated
not only
18
the interest in this issue by policy makers but also helped to sharpen the
analytical
questions.
Despite data collection issues, we have found that it has been possible to expand
the
scope of the expected work by including specific questions on different modalities
of
land access as well as demand for land by the poor, differentiated by gender in

The goal of this project is to understand how households are affected by health
shocks in
the long run. The core activities of this project started as scheduled in FY04.
By June, the main field work was successfully completed. This consisted of
interviews
with over 1,700 households (8,600 individuals), in addition to community, price,
and

questionnaires as vehicles to collect information on access to financial services

regulators in 90 countries and the other was sent to the top 5 largest banks in 60

finance.
Small- and medium-sized firms are disproportionately affected by all these
problems. The
smaller the firm, the more resources it devotes to bribes and dealing with
government
inspections and the less likely it is to have access to finance. These barriers can
pose
great restrictions to market entry and growth for small firms. More specifically:
Infrastructure poses some of the most severe obstacles facing firms.
Bangladesh
fares worse than its neighbors on general measures of infrastructure, and
the vast
majority of firms report that problems in infrastructure seriously hamper
their
growth.
Electricity problems plague firms in Bangladesh, which has less generation
capacity per capita than its neighbors. Firms report experiencing power
outages or
surges nearly every day they operate. As a result, more than 70 percent
rely on
electric generators at great expense. On average, these generators cost
more than
$20,000 to purchase and 50 percent more per kilowatt-hour to operate than
the
price of power from the public grid.
Corruption is pervasive. Bangladesh ranks worse on measure of corruption
than
its neighbors with more than half the firms reporting it as a major or very
severe
obstacle.
Firms view regulation as a serious problem. Starting a firm in Bangladesh is
fairly
difficult. And once firms are running, they receive frequent visits from
government agencies about 17 a year on average.

World Bank has undertaken extensive analysis of global
agricultural trade regimes, at global and individual commodity levels, estimating
the
impact of global trade policies and their reform on developing countries. The
emphasis
on the agricultural sector stems from the strong link between poverty in
developing
countries and the performance of the agricultural sector, which depends heavily
on the
progress in reforming the agricultural trade policies in industrial countries.
Growth in
agriculture generally has a disproportionate effect on overall poverty because
more than
half the population in developing countries resides in rural areas. Poverty
incidence is
much higher in rural areas, reaching 82 percent of rural population in lowincome
developing countries. In addition to the importance of agriculture for poverty
alleviation
and growth in poor countries, lack of reform in agriculture is now the single most
important barrier to a successful conclusion of global trade negotiations.
