Monitoring will be enhanced in Phase II, including regular beneficiary phone surveys and quarterly technical supervision missions, targeting infrastructure subprojects that are more complex and challenging. 52. **Importance of collaboration and partnerships across the humanitarian-development nexus.** The scale of the refugee presence and the scope of interventions required to bring about inclusion and self-reliance necessitates collaboration between various stakeholders, including government, non-governmental organizations, and international partners. Specific activities under DRDIP II to strengthen government-led coordination efforts are intended to build strong partnerships to create a holistic and integrated response framework. 53. **Refugee situations tend to last for years and managing them exclusively through emergency and humanitarian** **programs is ineffective** . The main conclusion of the World Development Report 2023 on _Migrants, Refugees, and_ _Societies_ is that policies should be geared toward financial and social sustainability by means of internal mobility, selfreliance, and inclusion in national services. The design of DRDIP II fully aligns with these lessons through its focus on selfreliance and integration of refugees into national service delivery systems. 54. **Multi-sectoral development investments directed to forcibly displaced populations and host
u1 ~ N(0,1) u2 ~ N(0, σ2) u3 ~ N(0, σ3) corr(u1, u2) = ρ2 corr(u1, u3) = ρ3 Irrigation is observed only if it is more profitable than dryland farming. Thus, the observed dependent variable Y is: Y=1 if ΠI > ΠD Y=0 if ΠD > ΠI When ρ = 0, OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression provides unbiased estimates, but when ρ ≅ 0 the OLS estimates are biased. We consequently employ the estimated Mills ratio from the selection model in both the irrigated and dryland conditional regressions in order to control for selection (Dubin & McFadden 1984). We expect the signs on the coefficient of the estimated Mills ratio to be opposite in each regression. With the estimated Mills ratios, the selection model allows us to use information on whether farms irrigate or not to improve the estimates of the parameters in the regression model. That is, the selection model provides consistent, asymptotically efficient estimates for all parameters in the model (Dubin & McFadden 1984). **3. Empirical results** The empirical analysis is based on a household survey conducted of 11 countries across Africa: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Niger, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe (for

social cohesion between refugees and host communities, creating a strong foundation for future economic progress. 5. **Building on the gains made, the government’s strategic aim for refugee management is now to promote** **self-reliance.** As one of the four objectives of the GCR, self-reliance is also central to both the National Strategy for Sustainable Graduation and the draft Refugee Sustainable Graduation Strategy. Through successful implementation of the two strategies, the government expects to: (a) reduce expenditure on social safety net programs for Rwandese and humanitarian aid for refugees; and (b) unlock the potential of refugees to support economic development. This will also contribute to key results in Rwanda’s _National Strategy for Transformation 2 (2024-2029)_ on creating jobs, improving education and the quality-of service-delivery. Shifting to a development approach to achieve self-reliance is increasingly urgent in light of dwindling humanitarian assistance. For instance, funding for UNHCR in Rwanda fell from US$49 million in 2020 (only 49 percent of needs) to US$37 million in 2023 (41 percent of needs), despite almost no change in refugee numbers. 6. **Progress towards achieving refugee self-reliance is hampered by a lack of employment and income-** **generating opportunities.** A tailored Refugee Self-Reliance Index (RSRI) prepared by the GoR,
we split the sample according to the wealth score provided by DHS. Given the data structure, which is repeated cross-section, we cannot follow a particular household that was identified as belonging to the bottom 40 percent in the initial time period. Instead, we identify the bottom 40 percent in four groups: far away, before mine or during mine, and close to mine, before mine or during mine. The summary statistics for selected main outcomes are presented in table 10. As the table shows, the bottom 40 percent in mining communities are more likely engaging in agriculture than the bottom 40 percent elsewhere. This could illustrate that agricultural workers are overrepresented among the less well-off in mining communities. However, women in this group still more often work in services than women did before in the same communities. 15 Fastgini is a user-written command in STATA that helps calculate the gini coefficient. 27

(2016), these studies have seldom used household-level data to assess the impacts of past cyclones on communities and households, as well as their role in the formation of expectations about future impacts. Such research requires construction of a georeferenced panel database that specifies the dates of cyclonic storms, their coastal landfall points, subsequent interior paths, and measures of relative power. Construction of an appropriate spatial panel has therefore been a primary objective of this exercise. To support ongoing research, we focus on the coastal regions of Bangladesh and two contiguous Indian states -- West Bengal and Odisha. However, our approach could easily be extended to cover an arbitrarily-large set of coastal regions. 2
**1 Introduction** The mining sector in Africa is growing rapidly and is the main recipient of foreign direct investment (World Bank 2011). The welfare effects of this sector are not well understood, although a literature has recently developed around this question. The main contribution of this paper is to shed light on the welfare effects of gold mining in a detailed, in-depth country study of Ghana, a country with a long tradition of gold mining and a recent, large expansion in capital intensive and industrial-scale production. A second contribution of this paper is to show the importance of decomposing the effects with respect to distance from the mines. Given the spatial heterogeneity of the results, we explore the effects in an individual-level, difference-in-differences analysis by using spatial lag models to allow for nonlinear effects with distance from mine. We also allow for spillovers across districts, in a district-level analysis. We use two complementary geocoded household data sets to analyze outcomes in Ghana: the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and the Ghana Living Standard Survey (GLSS), which provide information on a wide range of welfare outcomes. The paper contributes to the growing literature on the local effects of mining. Much of

over time difficult. Valuation of a future loss is also complicated due to ambiguity in the rate of time preference. In light of these uncertainties, we estimated the economic value of the wetlands at risk for a single scenario of 1 m SLR using the current literature on valuation of wetlands. The economic value of the wetlands at risk from 1 m SLR in the 76 developing countries considered in this analysis is around USD 630 million per year (in USD 2000). It is hoped that the estimates of wetlands at risk from SLR reported in this paper would offer insights into the extent to which countries may be willing to invest to protect coastal wetlands or facilitate their migration as sea level rises. At the outset, we acknowledge several important limitations of our analysis. First, we have not assessed the time profile of 1 m SLR. We take this scenario as given, and assess the _exposure_ of the present wetland stock for each of the 76 developing countries and five regions. Second, the digital elevation (90m DEM V2) data we use in our analysis gives altitude in 1-meter increments, preventing us from sub-meter SLR modeling. [13] Third, the lack

Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is reported to be higher among women than men (27 percent vs. 18 percent in the 15-24 age group and 27 percent vs. 23 percent in the 25-39 age group), as well as food insecurity is reported to be higher among female-headed households [FHHs] (51 percent vs. 45.5 percent) [14] . Women, who are generally the primary caregivers of infants and children, tend to lack information on beneficial practices related to child nutrition, parenting practices, and child stimulation (the proportion of women with children less than six months of age practicing exclusive breastfeeding stands at 12 percent [15] ). Women also experience higher unemployment rates (36 percent vs. 22 percent for men) and are more likely to hold vulnerable, informal, or part-time jobs (44.5 percent vs. 18.5 percent for men). In rural areas, the employment gaps widen further. Overall, men have better access to credit and financial services, productive inputs, and business opportunities with consequences on female entrepreneurship [16]
the CRRF, which is served by a small secretariat under the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). While the coordination structures are fully functional, more support is needed for operational coordination on the ground considering the growing refugee population and the increasing number of development projects supporting host-community-refugee inclusion. For instance, in 2016, DRDIP was the only World Bank-financed project on forced displacement in Uganda. By 2025, however, there are 11 projects funded by the IDA Window for Host Communities and Refugees (WHR), with a total budget of US$666 million. Continued strong government leadership from OPM will be required to facilitate effective coordination across these and related projects. 10. **The project is aligned with the World Bank Maximizing Finance for Development approach.** Private investment generated through Component 3 on Economic Opportunity counts as Private Capital Mobilization (PCM). Sub-component 3.1 on Resilient Value Chains and Enterprise Investments (US$77.5 million) will provide group-based revolving funds and start-up grants to approximately 234,500 beneficiaries to enhance their economic investments and value chain engagement.

Djibouti’s project will similarly be community-driven, ensuring that refugees, host communities, and local entrepreneurs/microenterprises are actively engaged in identifying their needs and priorities. Drawing from Yemen’s example, the project will align productive facilities and local markets with SME operations to strengthen supply chain linkages and create sustainable economic ecosystems in targeted regions.

Sustainable financing is critical to building an effective and efficient safety net system in Djibouti that can mitigate the adverse impacts of the perennial crises on the poor and vulnerable. The government committed to making efforts to increasing government financing for social safety nets as project financing declines. This commitment is being renewed and related technical simulations will be mainstreamed into the technical assistance that is being provided by the World Bank under the Strengthening Adaptive Social Protection Systems (P166220). Recommendations from the Technical Assistance will be discussed with the MASS and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEFI) and be mainstreamed into the
the European Union (EU). The World Food Programme (WFP) has provided food assistance to refugees in Mantapala refugee settlement since 2017. The project’s three components will contribute to the building of a future policy framework and an operational model for the use of WHR resources that could be extended to assist refugees and host communities in other areas across the country. 44. **The project is timely.** National ownership and political will are prerequisites both for successful implementation and sustainability. The GRZ has demonstrated a commitment to both, and it is important that momentum is maintained to prevent any possible backsliding on the reform agenda. The World Bank in Zambia is active in all the sectors proposed as interventions under this project, which is aligned with sector approaches and designed to leverage cooperation with larger sector investments. **F.
