16/06/2013 | (Voice of Iraq) -  Add a comment (Reuters) -when he went World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon to the city of Goma, the violence-torn African on a cloudy day last month, this is the first time that mobilize the largest two institutions for International Development قوتيهما to support weaker areas in the world. traveled Kim and that the three countries Great Lakes region in east Africa to promote a new partnership between the two institutions include the provision of bank billion dollars to support peacekeeping efforts in the region. announced two funding in the city of Kinshasa, capital Democratic Republic of Congo, while mortars were falling in Goma in eastern country. However, the two men born in South Korea pledged to continue their journey. Kim said in Kinshasa "go there because we believe that peace and security and economic development matters linked together ... we go for a very specific is that it has to be to achieve the gains of peace." and recognizes institutions that their joint efforts facing obstacles. Both are suffering from bureaucracies and large ineffective in conflict with each other and feel the bank wary of lending to fragile states with weak governments and institutions of their positions cloudy. Moreover, analysts warn specialize in the development affairs of he did not find one so far way clear to achieving sustainable development in the countries reeling acts of violence. but the World Bank and some analysts say that the institutions will not be able to bear the cost of inaction to provide assistance in light of expectations to live half of the world's poorest regions suffering from conflict by 2018. collaborated institutions already in some countries, including Liberia and Bosnia, but and signed a framework agreement in 2008 and pledged to work together in countries in crisis or recovering from the aftermath. , but analysts say that other efforts have been short or limited to attempts to non-recurring in countries or specific cases. said Steven Radelet professor at Georgetown University, "there was no any kind of systematic organization for the cooperation of the two institutions ... sometimes things were going well and at other times there were large gaps. " and often adopts the United Nations and the World Bank targets a similar but different Mnahjhma as the Bank focuses on the economy while pouring United Nations attention on security and human development.said Lawrence Chande fellow of the Brookings Institution research that relief agencies quickly moving to assist States, leading to duplication of efforts and complicate matters for governments that are not able to deal with such a large number of organizations. "There is a big difference but it is noticeable ... between coordination and cooperation ... and the fact that we are struggling already so in order to coordinate ... The cooperation is a new model altogether. " Kim said that the aim of the joint mission in Africa, which included visits to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda is the assertion that this time will be dueling on the ground. " and spent Kim most of his career in the public health sector, unlike diplomats and bankers who preceded him to the presidency of the bank. said Raymond Ovenhaiser head of Oxfam America for the development of the work of Kim in the World Health Organization of the United Nations made him familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the international organization . The idea behind the tour of the Great Lakes in that development can not be achieved without the security that can not last turn without giving people incentives to peacekeeping which could be provided by development projects. announced Kim during his trip to the region to provide new funding worth billion dollars for infrastructure projects, international trade and health and education services. However, this will depend on the extent of the commitment of all countries in the region with a peace deal brokered by the United Nations in late February. Researchers say the likes of Chris Blattmann at Columbia University that there is evidence confirms that projects massive infrastructure such as roads and power plants - one of the strengths of the bank - can help to stabilize the country and boost economies., but the fight against poverty in fragile states is known Besaupth. So that these countries lag behind the rest of the world in taking the necessary measures regarding health, education and neonatal mortality and prone to relapse back when the conflict. dealing with security is a new World Bank, which was to avoid fragile states in the past, to a large extent. , Kim said, "I do it because if we We want to be emitted to have any hope of ending poverty and promoting common prosperity we will have undoubtedly work with everyone. " and added, "I believe that the lack of cooperation with the United Nations means that you recognize in advance that you Stthly ambitions slim." While approaching the first anniversary of assuming the presidency of the bank gave Kim priority to cooperation with development organizations including the United Nations. Speaking Kim and Ban touring other joint to be this time to the Sahel region of Africa. Several factors prompted the bank to turn its focus to countries troubled. The first of these factors, there are 31 countries classified in rank fragile states among the 82 countries eligible for loans and grants of the Bank's fund for countries that suffer from extreme poverty. The bank now proposes allocating nearly 20 percent of these funds to those countries, up from eight percent in the late nineties of the twentieth century. The second factor is that these fragile nature has changed. It is true that the number of conflicts in the world down, but now continue for longer periods than blurs the distinction between humanitarian aid flowing at the outbreak of crises and long-term development. Finally, says an analysis of the Brookings Institution that the facts about population growth means that half of the population of the poorest in the world will be living in areas experiencing conflicts by the year 2018 and this percentage will increase to more than two-thirds in 2030. refers to the fact that the World Bank will not be able to achieve its goal of eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 without focusing on the areas of conflict. might be Democratic Republic of Congo, which is often caused by the violence in population displacement and obstruction of a very difficult test programs.So that more than 70 percent of a population of 67 million people living below the poverty line despite receiving development assistance estimated Bbmilirat of dollars over the past ten years. says Chande "It's easy to miss opportunities in such cases., but a matter of truly alternative .. . If the bank did not go there, it will go? " I Yuhananov (preparation Abdel Moneim Moussa of the Arab Bulletin - edit Ahmed Inspirational) |
