Policy Research Department annual report July 1993-June 1994 : research, policy analysis, technical assistance and dissemination activities
Zhong, Ma;
This Policy Research Departments (PRD) annual report contains two sections that illustrate depth and scope of the department's work. In fiscal 1994, PRD had about 60 research projects underway, ranging from a world-wide study of public enterprise reform involving 20 researchers from the Bank, universities, and other development institutions; to numerous smaller projects that involved one or two staff and focused on such specific concerns as river clean-up in Indonesia and the restructuring of Hungarian banks. These specialized projects were often undertaken at the request of the regional vice presidencies in support of Bank operations. In fiscal 1994, department researchers published 16 books and more than 200 journal articles and working papers; organized dozens of conferences and seminars; provided analysis in support of Bank operations in more than 40 countries; and helped to train dozens of Bank staff. Key Outputs section describes the findings and dissemination of five recently completed undertakings. New Starts section outlines five projects in preparation, the issues to be examined, and the methods that the department will use to unravel them in the months and years ahead. Projects that were well underway in fiscal 1994 but not yet complete are described in the next section, Work Programs and Themes.
