infrastructure governance and corruption: where next?
Author: Charles Kenny
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Abstract: Governance is central to development outcomes in infrastructure, not least because corruption (a symptom of failed governance) can have significantly negative impact on returns to infrastructure investment. This conclusion holds whether infrastructure is in private or public hands. This paper looks at what has been learned about the role of governance in infrastructure, provides some recent examples of reform efforts and project approaches, and suggests an agenda for greater engagement - primarily at the sector level - to improve governance and reduce the development impact of corruption. The discussion covers market structure, regulation, state-owned enterprise reform, planning and budgeting, and project design.

Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Where to Next? is a memoir about travelling and living abroad. Following the author's footsteps all over the world will bring you out of your comfort zone, widen your horizons and leave you wondering where and what 'home' means to you. This book will take you on a journey from childhood to adulthood through France, Norway, the United States, the United Kingdom, China and Australia. It is filled with challenging experiences, fundamental lessons and unforgettable encounters. Witness how such a lifestyle beyond borders changes one's character as well as perception of where and what home actually is. ------ "Where to Next? is a soul-searching page-turner, a must-have and must-read for anyone wanting to explore the world and its amazing horizons." Alice Miller Dupas - France, US, Germany "What an amazing adventure! This book widened my horizons, causing me to laugh and cry as I turned the pages." Alison Small - United Kingdom "See the world and the meaning of life through Solène's eyes. Witnessing her emotional rollercoaster of a journey makes you think about what you want to do and who you'd like to be. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for new adventures." Amélie Pha - France, Austria, Libya, Germany "A tribute at the altar of wanderlust, this story takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster of not belonging where you are and constantly searching for your mythical place in the world. A testament that life shouldn't be lived trying to 'keep up with the Joneses', but rather, listening to your instinctual gut feeling and following your own individual path. An emotionally honest and raw memoir told in short, witty snippets - the memories, milestones, challenges, and anecdotes - that make up a life, and the lessons learnt along the way." Andrea Agrotis - Australia, Cyprus, United Kingdom, France, Greece "We don't always get what we want in life, but if you try your hardest, you become wiser, stronger and more compassionate. This book traces Solène's life journey and her courageous outlook for adventure. I can't wait to find out what's next!" Bonnie Chao - United States, China "This is the most inspiring book I have read in a long time! Be ready to travel the world and embark on a new adventure every time you turn a page."

From childhood to adulthood, country after country, follow her footsteps, witness her joy, pain and life-changing moments. Reading this book will give you a boost and leave you positive, driven and energised." Joanne Profeta - France, Norway "Living through the writer's adventures was pure entertainment! Not only did this book inspire me to travel more, it also encouraged me to improve in everyday life." Lindsay Fave - United States, Australia "This book is an essential read for anyone who feels alone, lost, frustrated and misunderstood. Read this story and understand that taking a chance, persevering and not accepting the status quo will take you on a journey to become a better you." Simon Taylor - United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Greece, China "One word: Inspiring! I really enjoyed how this book challenged me and how much I could relate to it at the same time. Through her experience, the author reminded me that stepping out of your comfort zone is always the right thing to do." Ouissem Belgacem - France, Tunisia, United States, United Kingdom, Spain

Book Description
"About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, "Sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second." I said, "Well, you're too busy." He said, "No, no." He says, "We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq." This was on or about the twentieth of September... "So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, "Are we still going to war with Iraq?" And he said, "Oh, it's worse than that." He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" (meaning the Secretary of Defense's office) "today." And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years." -- General Wesley Clark, February 27, 2007
