Position Title: GBV Sub-Cluster Coordinator

Duty Station: Bogota, Colombia
Level: P3/P4
Duration: 3 months

BACKGROUND

Under the overall supervision of the UNFPA CO Representative, the GBV coordinator facilitates and coordinates the rapid implementation of multi-sectoral, inter-agency GBV interventions in a humanitarian emergency. Comprehensive GBV prevention and response programming in humanitarian emergencies requires skilled coordination of a range of organizations and actors from the displaced and host communities, NGOs, government partners, UN agencies, and other national and international organizations. The GBV Coordinator’s duties include: building and sustaining partnerships, strategic planning, capacity development, advocacy, and information management.

The GBV Coordinator will use the IASC’s Guidelines for Integrating Gender-based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action: Reducing Risk, Promoting Resilience, and Aiding Recovery, the GBV Area of Responsibility’s GBV Coordination Handbook, UNFPA’s Managing GBV Programmes in Emergencies Guide and Minimum Standards for Addressing GBV in Emergencies to facilitate planning, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of inter-agency GBV initiatives. The activities will be coordinated closely with UN Women as the co-leading agency for the GBV subcluster.

The GBV coordinator will represent UNFPA in an inter-agency capacity to ensure a robust and well-functioning coordination body that promotes the highest standards of GBV prevention and response, in line with global guidance.

Building and Sustaining Partnerships
• Facilitate inter-agency, multi-sectoral GBV coordination at national and sub-national levels. Promote, respect and ensure that the Principles of Partnership are reflected in the day-to-day work of the GBV sub-cluster.
• Establish result-oriented, two-way communication channels between national GBV coordination and field level to ensure a standardized response to GBV.
• Proactively engage with all relevant stakeholders to ensure coordination bodies reflect the range of actors addressing GBV, including across multiple sectors (health, psychosocial, legal, security, etc.) and categories of actors (UN, NGO, civil society, government, etc.). As feasible, engage with the UN Mission in support for capacity building and monitoring and response to gender and sexual based violence.
• Liaise closely and promote inter-agency coordination among the different agencies, government and NGOs, including with the different gender related coordination mechanisms and other actors such as GenCap, ProCap and gender focal points.
• Regularly represent the GBV sub-cluster in Protection Cluster meetings, OCHA-led meetings (e.g. around development of the Strategic Response Plan or for Inter-Cluster Coordination), and other relevant meetings, including those called by the Humanitarian Coordi
Coordinate and collaborate with other clusters/working groups such as the Health Cluster, Shelter Cluster, Food Security Cluster, Education Cluster, etc. to ensure integration of GBV-related action in their Cluster plans and to advocate for joint awareness-raising for non-GBV specialists.
• Advocate with donors and mobilize resources for inter-agency GBV prevention and response in line with GBV sub-cluster work plan and HRP. As necessary, leverage resources within UNFPA to support inter-agency GBV activities under the Sub-Cluster.
• In consultation with non-governmental GBV actors and national civil society, identify appropriate mechanisms for working with and collaborating with national authorities on GBV issues.

Strategic Planning
• Facilitate rapid establishment of Standard Operating Procedures, initially emphasizing development of referral pathways in advance of full SOP completion. Regularly review and revisit SOPs at strategic points throughout the crisis response.
• In collaboration with national and international GBV actors, map current institutional response capacities, including facilitating mapping of GBV-specific 3Ws.
• Lead the implementation of the GBV subcluster workplan. Promote engagement of a range of sectors and ensure realistic benchmarks and timelines for achieving set objectives. Regularly monitor progress against plan during coordination meetings. Allow space for new actors to engage with plan over the course of the crisis response.
• Work with partners to continually identify response gaps in line with proposed work plan (including geographic coverage and programmatic scope) and seek solutions to fill gaps. Advocate with UNFPA as sub-cluster lead to address gaps not yet filled by partners.

Capacity Development
• Work with partners to develop an inter-agency GBV capacity development strategy that meets the needs and priorities of key national and local stakeholders to facilitate implementation of agreed work plan.
• Revise existing training materials according to local context and ensure partners’ access to relevant training sessions.
• Support efforts to strengthen the capacity of sub-cluster members on planning and responding to GBV in emergencies and on safe and ethical GBV information management.
• Ensure all GBV sub-cluster partners and others are aware of relevant policy guidelines, technical standards, and other resource materials (go to www.gbvaor.net for the latest information).
Advocacy
• Provide technical support to the development of relevant advocacy and policy documents to address GBV in the context of broader gender inequality issues.
• Promote awareness of national laws and policies that inform action to address GBV.

Information Management
• In line with WHO’s Ethical and Safety Recommendations for Researching, Documenting and Monitoring Sexual Violence in Emergencies:
Engage in robust analyses of available secondary data to ensure readily-available information on known trends and patterns on GBV for inclusion at relevant points along the Humanitarian Programme Cycle, including the MIRA.

• Consolidate existing assessments on the GBV situation and/or work with relevant agencies, the displaced and host populations to conduct relevant participatory analyses of GBV. • Undertake new assessment missions as necessary/appropriate to determine the magnitude and scope of GBV and identify strategic inter-sectoral approaches for addressing it.

• Work with the GBV coordination groups to adopt a standardized GBV incident report/intake form and other relevant forms as necessary. Train partner organizations and other sectors in the use of this form with particular emphasis to the Guiding Principles for Working with GBV Survivors and in line with the GBV Information Management System (GBVIMS).

• If necessary, develop monthly report formats that capture relevant information and that support the analysis and evaluation of program progress and outcomes.

• Document best practices and approaches for responding to issues of GBV in order to deepen the knowledge base among relevant partners.

• Prepare regular analytical reports on emerging issues.

Administrative and Miscellaneous Duties

Organization: Mercy Corps
Country: Guatemala
Closing date: 06 Jul 2017

Program / Department Summary

To sustainably reduce crime and prevent violence, communities and governments need skills, structures and relationships to address the factors driving insecurity. Our strategy leverages Mercy Corps’ global leadership in developing community resilience in violence prone environments. Improving the ability of individuals, families, communities and government to work together will enable them to end the cycle of violence, weak governance and poverty. Our strategy also recognizes that gangs have a ready supply of young people to join their ranks as long as youth lack protection, school advancement, economic opportunities and mentoring relationships to help them thrive.

Recognizing that violence is multi-determined, our Convivimos design creates an integrated response by viewing individuals, families, communities and government as part of an interconnected system, addressing social, economic, urban, environmental and political factors at each of these levels. The CONVIVIMOS Project is based on the following theory of change: If individual, family, community and government capacities are improved, then communities’ resilience will increase and communities will become safer and more secure. Our strategic design is guided by five key principles: local partnership promotes a sustainable response with communities, government and private sector leading and co-investing in interventions; a place-based approach integrates a comprehensive crime and violence prevention response at the community level; activities are evidence-based, using data and best practices to inform design and contribute to learning; we incorporate piloting and scaling of innovations.

The Convivimos Project is a $40 million Cooperative Agreement funded through the generous support of USAID being implemented over five years (through June 2020) in at least 80 urban communities in six municipalities around and including Guatemala City. This metropolitan area experiences a majority of the country’s recorded homicides.

CSP partners with local NGOs, communities, municipalities and the National Ministry of Violence Prevention to address the causes and consequences of violence through holistic prevention approaches. It has four complementary and mutually integrating objectives to: 1) strengthen urban communities to institutionalize proven, integrated violence prevention activities; 2) strengthen and mobilize municipal and national stakeholders and resources to develop and implement municipal-level violence prevention plans; 3) support secondary prevention projects in close coordination with municipal and community structures; and 4) promote and integrate evidence-based policy making among violence prevention actors.

General Position Summary

The Chief of Party reports to the Mercy Corps Country Director in Guatemala and is responsible for providing overall leadership, management and strategic vision to the implementation of the Convivimos program and ensuring that the program meets its targets and deliverables on-time, on-scope, and on budget. The CoP will provide inspirational leadership to CSP program staff and ensure accountability to Mercy Corps policies and donor rules and regulations. S/he will be the primary program representative to donors, relevant government entities, partners, other implementers and stakeholders. S/he should also be an innovative leader with a vision of what can be possible for communities and governments to work together to prevent violence.

The COP position requires knowledge and experience with innovative models of community based violence prevention, vision, leadership, innovation, excellent project management and teambuilding skills, as well as excellent public relationships skills to work effectively with national and municipal governments, partners and USAID.

Eksportir Komoditas Berangsur Mulai Pulih dari Harga Terendah WASHINGTON, 4 Juni 2017 – Bank Dunia meproyeksikan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi global akan menguat menjadi 2,7 persen pada tahun 2017 akibat mulai naiknya manufaktur dan perdagangan, meningkatnya kepercayaan pasar, dan makin stabilnya harga komoditas sehingga memungkinkan pertumbuhan berlanjut di pasar ekspor komoditas dan mengembangkan perekonomian. Menurut laporan Bank Dunia berjudul Global Economic Prospect edisi Juni 2017, pertumbuhan ekonomi negara-negara maju diperkirakan akan meningkat sebesar 1,9 persen pada 2017, yang juga akan menguntungkan mitra dagang negara-negara tersebut. Kondisi pembiayaan global tetap baik dan harga komoditas telah stabil. Dengan peningkatan kondisi internasional seperti ini, pertumbuhan di pasar dan ekonomi negara berkembang secara keseluruhan akan meningkat menjadi 4,1 persen tahun ini dari 3,5 persen di tahun 2016. Pertumbuhan di pasar tujuh negara berkembang terbesar di dunia diproyeksikan akan meningkat dan melampaui rata-rata jangka panjangnya pada tahun 2018. Aktivitas pemulihan di ekonomi negara-negara tersebut diperkirakan akan membawa dampak positif yang signifikan bagi pertumbuhan di negara berkembang lainnya juga di seluruh dunia. Namun, masih banyak risiko bagi proyeksi di atas. Pembatasan perdagangan baru bisa menggagalkan pulihnya perdagangan global. Ketidakpastian kebijakan yang terus-menerus bisa menghambat kepercayaan dan investasi. Di tengah gejolak pasar keuangan yang sangat rendah, penilaian mendadak oleh pasar terhadap risiko terkait kebijakan atau laju normalisasi kebijakan moneter negara-negara maju bisa memicu gejolak keuangan. Dalam jangka panjang, produktivitas dan pertumbuhan investasi yang terus-menerus lemah dapat mengikis prospek pertumbuhan jangka panjang di pasar yang sedang tiumbuh juga di negara berkembang yang menjadi kunci pengentasan kemiskinan. "Sudah terlalu lama kami telah melihat pertumbuhan yang rendah menghambat kemajuan dalam pengentasan kemiskinan, jadi sangat menggembirakan melihat tanda-tanda bahwa ekonomi global semakin menguat," kata Presiden Kelompok Bank Dunia Jim Yong Kim. "Pemulihan yang sedang berlangsung termasuk rapuh tapi nyata, dan negara-negara harus memanfaatkan kondisi ini untuk melakukan reformasi kelembagaan dan pasar yang bisa menarik investasi swasta untuk membantu mempertahankan pertumbuhan jangka panjang. Negara-negara juga harus melakukan investasi pada sumberdaya manusia dan membangun ketahanan terhadap tantangan yang tumpang tindih, termasuk perubahan iklim, konflik, pemindahan paksa, kelaparan, dan penyakit. " Download laporan Global Economic Prospects edisi Juni 2017. Laporan tersebut menyoroti kekhawatiran tentang meningkatnya utang dan defisit di pasar yang sedang tumbug serta negara berkembang, meningkatkan kemungkinan bahwa kenaikan suku bunga yang tiba-tiba atau kondisi pinjaman yang lebih berat mungkin akan membawa gangguan. Pada akhir tahun 2016, utang pemerintah melampaui tingkat tahun 2007 sebesar lebih dari 10 persen poin PDB di lebih dari setengah pasar yang sedang tumbuh serta negara berkembang dan neraca fiskal memburuk dari tingkat tahun 2007 sebesar lebih dari 5 persen poin PDB di sepertiga negara-negara tersebut. "Berita yang meyakinkan adalah bahwa perdagangan mulai pulih," kata Kepala Ekonom Bank Dunia Paul Romer. "Yang membawa kekhawatiran adalah investasi tetap lemah. Sebagai tanggapannya, kami mengalihkan prioritas kami untuk melakukan pinjaman ke proyek-proyek yang dapat memacu investasi lanjutan oleh sektor swasta." Titik terang dalam prospek tersebut adalah pemulihan dalam pertumbuhan perdagangan menjadi 4 persen pasca krisis finansial dengan titik terendah sebesar 2,5 persen tahun lalu. Laporan ini menyoroti kelemahan utama perdagangan global, perdagangan antar perusahaan yang tidak terhubung melalui kepemilikan. Perdagangan semacam itu melalui jalur outsourcing telah melambat jauh lebih tajam daripada perdagangan antar perusahaan dengan kepemilikan yang sama dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Ini mengingatkan pentingnya jaringan perdagangan global yang sehat bagi perusahaan yang kurang terintegrasi yang merupakan mayoritas perusahaan. "Setelah pelambatan yang berkepanjangan, percepatan aktivitas baru-baru ini di beberapa pasar yang sedang tumbuh merupakan perkembangan yang disambut baik untuk pertumbuhan di wilayah mereka dan ekonomi global," kata Direktur Prospek Ekonomi Pembangunan Bank Dunia Ayhan Kose. "Sekarang saatnya pasar negara maju dan negara berkembang untuk menilai kerentanan mereka dan memperkuat penyangga kebijakan untuk melawan guncangan yang merugikan." Proyeksi Regional: Asia Timur dan Pasifik: Pertumbuhan di kawasan ini diproyeksikan akan turun menjadi 6,2 persen pada tahun 2017 dan 6,1 persen pada tahun 2018 karena perlambatan bertahap di Tiongkok diimbangi oleh kenaikan di negara lain terutama pulihnya eksportir komoditas dan percepatan pertumbuhan di Thailand. Pertumbuhan di Tiongkok diantisipasi melambat menjadi 6,5 persen tahun ini dan 6,3 persen pada 2018. Tanpa menyertakan Tiongkok, kawasan ini terlihat meningkat dengan lebih cepat dengan tingkat 5,1 persen pada tahun 2017 dan 5,2 persen pada 2018. Indonesia diperkirakan akan mencapai 5,2 persen pada 2017 dan 5,3 persen pada tahun 2018 karena meredanya dampak konsolidasi fiskal dan kegiatan di sektor swasta meningkat, didukung oleh kenaikan harga komoditas yang moderat, meningkatnya permintaan eksternal, dan membaiknya tingkat kepercayaan akibat reformasi. Pertumbuhan di Filipina diproyeksikan stabil pada 6,9 persen tahun ini dan berikutnya, dipimpin oleh kenaikan investasi publik dan swasta. Thailand juga mempertahankan pertumbuhan 3,2 persen pada tahun 2017, meningkat menjadi 3,3 persen di tahun depan, karena didukung oleh investasi publik yang lebih besar dan pemulihan konsumsi di sektor swasta. Eropa dan Asia Tengah: Pertumbuhan di Eropa dan Asia Tengah diperkirakan akan meningkat secara luas menjadi 2,5 persen pada tahun 2017, dan menjadi 2,7 persen pada tahun 2018, didukung oleh pemulihan yang berlanjut di antara eksportir komoditas dan meredanya risiko geopolitik dan ketidakpastian kebijakan domestik di negara-negara besar kawasan. Rusia diperkirakan akan tumbuh pada tingkat 1,3 persen pada tahun 2017 setelah resesi dua tahun dan 1,4 persen pada 2018, dengan pertumbuhan dibantu oleh kenaikan konsumsi. Kazakhstan diproyeksikan meningkat 2,4 persen tahun ini dan 2,6 persen pada 2018 karena menguatnya harga minyak dan sikap kebijakan makroekonomi yang akomodatif mendukung aktivitas ekonomi. Di antara negara ekonomi pengimpor komoditas, Turki diproyeksikan akan meningkat 3,5 persen pada tahun 2017, didukung oleh kebijakan fiskal yang akomodatif, dan 3,9 persen pada tahun 2018 karena ketidakpastian mereda, pemulihan pariwisata, dan neraca perusahaan membaik. Amerika Latin dan Karibia: Pertumbuhan di Amerika Latin dan Karibia diproyeksikan akan menguat menjadi 0,8 persen pada tahun 2017 karena Brasil dan Argentina bangkit dari resesi dan kenaikan harga komoditas mendukung eksportir pertanian dan energi. Brazil diperkirakan akan naik 0,3 persen pada 2017, dengan pertumbuhan diperkirakan akan naik ke tingkat 1,8 persen di tahun 2018, sementara pertumbuhan Argentina diproyeksikan akan menjadi 2,7 persen tahun ini. Pertumbuhan di Meksiko diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 1,8 persen pada 2017, terutama karena adanya kontrak investasi akibat ketidakpastian mengenai kebijakan ekonomi Amerika Serikat, sebelum melaju ke tingkat 2,2 persen tahun depan. Proyeksi naiknya harga logam diperkirakan akan membantu Chili, di mana produksi tembaga seharusnya pulih setelah terjadi pemogokan. Pertumbuhan di Chili diperkirakan akan meningkat secara moderat tahun ini menjadi 1,8 persen dan 2 persen tahun depan. Di Karibia, meningkatnya permintaan pariwisata mendasari perkiraan percepatan pertumbuhan menjadi 3,3 persen pada 2017 dan 3,8 persen pada 2018. Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara: Pertumbuhan di kawasan ini diproyeksikan akan turun menjadi 2,1 persen pada tahun 2017 karena dampak buruk pengurangan produksi Organisasi Negara-negara Pengekspor Minyak (OPEC) melebihi situasi membaiknya negara importir minyak. Pertumbuhan diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 2,9 persen pada 2018, dengan asumsi berkurangnya ketegangan geopolitik dan adanya kenaikan harga minyak. Pertumbuhan di Arab Saudi, ekonomi terbesar di kawasan ini, diperkirakan akan turun menjadi 0,6 persen akibat penurunan produksi, sebelum melaju ke 2 persen pada 2018. Republik Islam Iran terlihat melambat ke tingkat 4 persen sebelum berangsur naik menjadi 4,1 persen pada 2018 karena kapasitas cadangan terbatas dalam memproduksi minyak dan kesulitan mengakses keuangan yang akan menghambat pertumbuhan negara. Perekonomian Mesir diperkirakan akan moderat pada tahun fiskal berjalan sebelum terus membaik dalam jangka menengah, didukung oleh pelaksanaan reformasi iklim usaha dan peningkatan daya saing. Asia Selatan: Pertumbuhan di kawasan ini diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 6,8 persen pada 2017 dan kemudian naik menjadi 7,1 persen pada 2018, yang mencerminkan meluasnya permintaan domestik dan ekspor yang kuat. Tanpa menyertakan India, pertumbuhan kawsan ini diperkirakan akan terus stabil di 5,7 persen, kemudian meningkat menjadi 5,8 persen, dengan percepatan pertumbuhan di Bhutan, Pakistan, dan Sri Lanka namun melambat di Bangladesh dan Nepal. Pertumbuhan India diperkirakan akan semakin cepat menjadi 7,2 persen pada tahun fiskal 2017 (1 April 2017 – 31 Maret 2018) dan 7,5 persen pada tahun fiskal berikutnya. Pakistan diperkirakan naik ke tingkat 5,2 persen pada tahun fiskal 2017 (1 Juli 2016 – 30 Juni 2017) dan menjadi 5,5 persen pada tahun fiskal berikutnya, yang mencerminkan peningkatan investasi swasta, peningkatan pasokan energi, dan keamanan yang lebih baik. Pertumbuhan Sri Lanka diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 4,7 persen pada 2017 dan 5 persen pada 2018, karena program lembaga keuangan internasional mendukung reformasi ekonomi dan meningkatkan daya saing sektor swasta. Afrika Sub-Sahara: Pertumbuhan di Afrika Sub-Sahara diperkirakan meningkat menjadi 2,6 persen pada tahun 2017 dan 3,2 persen pada tahun 2018, yang didasarkan pada kenaikan harga komoditas dan reformasi untuk mengatasi ketidakseimbangan makroekonomi. Namun, output per kapita diproyeksikan menyusut menjadi 0,1 persen pada 2017 dan meningkat menjadi laju pertumbuhan 0,7 persen pada 2018-19. Pada tingkat tersebut, pertumbuhan tidak akan cukup untuk mencapai tujuan mengurangi kemiskinan di kawasan ini, terutama jika hambatan terhadap pertumbuhan yang lebih kuat bertahan. Pertumbuhan di Afrika Selatan diproyeksikan akan meningkat menjadi 0,6 persen pada 2017 dan naik menjadi 1,1 persen pada 2018. Nigeria diperkirakan akan beralih dari resesi ke tingkat pertumbuhan 1,2 persen pada 2017, lalu mengalami percepatan menjadi 2,4 persen pada 2018. Pertumbuhan negara-negara yang tidak mengandalkan sumberdaya alam diantisipasi tetap kuat, didukung oleh investasi infrastruktur, ketahanan sektor jasa, dan pemulihan produksi pertanian. Ethiopia diproyeksikan akan meningkat menjadi 8,3 persen pada tahun 2017, Tanzania 7,2 persen, Pantai Gading 6,8 persen, dan Senegal 6,7 persen.

Các nước xuất khẩu nguyên vật liệu sẽ tăng trưởng trở lại sau khi giá xuất khẩu chạm mức thấp kỷ lục OA-SINH-TƠN, ngày 4/6/2017— Ngân hàng Thế giới dự báo tốc độ tăng trưởng kinh tế toàn cầu sẽ tăng trở lại và đạt mức 2,7% năm 2017 nhờ mức tăng sản xuất và thương mại, tăng niềm tin thị trường, tăng giá nguyên vật liệu giúp các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển dựa vào xuất khẩu nguyên vật liệu tăng trưởng trở lại. Theo báo cáo Triển vọng kinh tế toàn cầu do Ngân hàng Thế giới công bố tháng 6/2017 các nền kinh tế phát triển dự kiến sẽ tăng tốc và đạt mức tăng trưởng 1,9% năm 2017 và sẽ tác động tích cực lên các đối tác thương mại của các nước này. Điều kiện tài chính toàn cầu sẽ tiếp tục thuận lợi, và giá nguyên vật liệu đã ổn định. Trong bối cảnh đó các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển sẽ đạt mức tăng trưởng chung cả nhóm là 4,1% năm nay, tăng hơn so với mức 3,5% năm 2016. 7 nền kinh tế mới nổi lớn nhất thế giới dự kiến sẽ tăng và vượt tỉ lệ tăng trưởng trung bình dài hạn vào năm 2018. Sự phục hồi kinh tế tại các nước này sẽ có tác động tích cực và đáng kể lên các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển và đối với nền kinh tế toàn cầu nói chung. Mặc dù vậy vẫn còn một số rủi ro đáng kể đe dọa viễn cảnh tăng trưởng. Những biện pháp hạn chế thương mại mới sẽ làm giảm sức bật thương mại toàn cầu. Bất ổn chính sách kéo dài cũng làm giảm niềm tin và đầu tư. Mặc dù bất ổn trên thị trường tài chính đang ở mức thấp đặc biệt nhưng các rủi ro chính sách buộc người ta phải đánh giá lại thị trường và tốc độ bình thường hóa chính sách tiền tệ diễn ra một cách chậm chạp tại các nước phát triển có thể gây biến động trên thị trường tài chính. Về dài hạn, mức tăng năng suất lao động và mức đầu tư thấp sẽ làm xói mòn viễn cảnh tăng trưởng tại các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển và ảnh hưởng tới công cuộc giảm nghèo tại các nước này. “Tăng trưởng chậm đã kìm hãm tiến bộ và cuộc chiến chống đói nghèo quá lâu. Thật là một tín hiệu khích lệ khi nền kinh tế toàn cầu tăng trưởng trở lại,” chủ tịch Ngân hàng Thế giới, ông Jim Yong Kim nói. “Tiến trình hồi phục đã bắt đầu, và tuy còn mỏng manh nhưng các nước cần nắm bắt cơ hội để thực hiện cải cách thể chế và thị trường nhằm thu hút đầu tư và duy trì tăng trưởng bền vững. Các nước cần tiếp tục đầu tư vào con người, nâng cao năng lực đề kháng trước các thách thức chồng chéo bao gồm biến đổi khí hậu, xung đột, chạy loạn, nạn đói và dịch bệnh.” Báo cáo lưu ý mối quan ngại về tình trạng nợ và thâm hụt tăng tại các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển làm cho lãi suất có thể tăng đột ngột hoặc làm cho điều kiện vay vốn bị thắt chặt hơn và dẫn đến hậu quả tiêu cực. Vào thời điểm cuối năm 2016 nợ chính phủ đã vượt mức 2007 tương ứng với 10 điểm phần trăm GDP tại trên một nửa số nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển; cán cân tài khóa tại 1/3 các nước này xấu đi so với năm 2007 tương ứng với 5 điểm phần trăm GDP.  “Tin vui ở đây là thương mại đã hồi phục,” ông Paul Romer, chuyên gia kinh tế trưởng của Ngân hàng Thế giới nói. “Đầu tư vẫn còn yếu và gây lo ngại. Vì vậy ta phải chuyển hướng ưu tiên và cấp vốn cho những dự án hứa hẹn sẽ kéo theo đầu tư tư nhân.” Đểm sáng trong tiến trình này là thương mại đã tăng trở lại và đạt mức 4% sau khi xuống thấp mức kỷ lục 2,5% sau khi trải qua khủng hoảng vào năm ngoái. Báo cáo cũng hướng sự chú ý tới một điểm yếu trong thương mại toàn cầu, đó là giao dịch buôn bán giữa các doanh nghiệp không cùng sở hữu. Thương mại dựa trên các kênh thuê ngoài (outsource) đã giảm nhanh hơn mức giảm giao dịch nội bộ trong một số năm gần đây. Nhân sự việc này, báo cáo kêu gọi chú ý đến tầm quan trọng của mạng lưới thương mại toàn cầu lành mạnh đối với các doanh nghiệp có mức độ liên kết thấp. Đây chính là các doanh nghiệp chiếm đa số. “Sau thời kỳ trầm lắng kéo dài, sự hồi phục trở lại các hoạt động kinh tế gần đây tại các nền kinh tế mới nổi hàng đầu là tín hiệu đáng hoan nghênh đối với tăng trưởng trong khu vực và trên thế giới”, ông Ayhan Kose, Giám đốc Viễn cảnh kinh tế phát triển thuộc Ngân hàng Thế giới nói. “Bây giờ đã đến lúc các nền kinh tế mới nổi và các nước đang phát triển nhìm lại các yếu kém của mình và tăng cường khoảng đệm chính sách để đối phó với các cú sốc.” Viễn cảnh khu vực Đông Á Thái Bình Dương: Tốc độ tăng trưởng khu vực sẽ đạt 6,2% năm 2017 và 6,1% năm 2018 do mức sụt giảm tại Trung Quốc được bù trừ bởi tăng trưởng tại các nước xuất khẩu nguyên vật liệu và tốc độ tăng trưởng đang tăng tại Thái Lan. Tăng trưởng tại Trung Quốc dự kiến sẽ xuống còn 6,5% năm nay và 6,3% năm 2018. Trừ Trung Quốc, toàn khu vực sẽ đạt mức trên 5,1% năm nay và 5,2% năm 2018. In-đô-nê-xi-a sẽ tăng trưởng 5,2% năm 2018, 5,3% năm 2018 do tác động của chính sách thắt chặt tài khóa đã giảm nhẹ và đầu tư tư nhân tăng nhờ giá nguyên vật liệu tăng nhẹ, cầu bên ngoài tăng, và các biện pháp cải cách làm tăng mức độ niêm tin. Tăng trưởng tại Phi-lip-pin dự kiến ổn định ở mức 6,9% năm nay và sang năm nhờ đầu tư công và tư đều tăng. Tương tự, Thái Lan cũng ổn định mức tăng trưởng 3,2% năm nay và 3,3% sang năm nhờ tăng đầu tư công và tiêu dùng cá nhân. Châu Âu và trung Á: Dự kiến mức tăng trưởng tại khu vực châu Âu và Trung Á sẽ tăng và đạt 2,5% năm 2017, 2,7% năm 2018 nhờ xu thế hồi phục tại các nước xuất khẩu nguyên vật liệu, rủi ro địa chính trị và bất ổn chính sách tại các nền kinh tế chính được tháo gỡ. Nga sẽ tăng trưởng 1,3% năm 2017 sau khi bị suy thoái 2 năm liên tiếp; sang năm 2018 nền kinh tế Nga sẽ tăng trưởng 1,8% nhờ tiêu dùng tăng. Kazakhstan sẽ tăng trưởng 2,4% năm nay và 2,6% năm 2018 do giá dầu tăng và do áp dụng các chính sách kích cầu. Trong số các nhà nước nhập khẩu nguyên vật liệu, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ dự kiến sẽ tăng trưởng 3,9% năm 2018 nhờ các yếu tố gây bất ổn suy giảm và bảng cân đối các doanh nghiệp được cải thiện. Mỹ La-tinh và Ca-ri-bê: Tăng trưởng khu vực Mỹ La-tinh và Ca-ri-bê dự kiến sẽ tăng và đạt 0,8% năm 2017 do Brazil và Argentina thoát khỏi suy thoái và giá nguyên vật liệu tăng đã có tác động tích cực lên các nước xuất khẩu nông sản và năng lượng này. Brazil sẽ tăng trưởng 0,3% năm 2017, 1,8% năm 2018; Argentina sẽ tăng trưởng 2,7% năm nay. Tăng trưởng tại Mexico sẽ giảm xuống còn 1,8% năm nay chủ yếu do đầu tư thu hẹp bởi bất ổn chính sách tại Hoa Kỳ nhưng sẽ tăng trở lại và đạt 2,2% năm 2018. Dự kiến giá kim loại tăng sẽ có lợi cho Chi-lê và sản xuất đồng sẽ phục hồi sau đình công. Chi-lê dự kiến sẽ đạt mức tăng trưởng nhẹ 1,8% năm nay và 2,0% sang năm. Tại khu vực Ca-ri-bê, cầu về du lịch sẽ giúp đạt mức tăng trưởng 3,3% năm 2017 và 3,8% năm 2018. Trung Đông và bắc Phi: Mức tăng trưởng các nước trong khu vực dự kiến sẽ giảm xuồng còn 2,1% năm 2017 do OPEC cắt giảm sản lượng và gây tác động lớn hơn tác động tích cực lên các nước nhập khẩu dầu. Tăng trưởng dự kiến sẽ tăng lên mức 2,9% năm 2018 nếu căng thẳng địa chính trị giảm nhẹ và giá dầu tăng. Tăng trưởng tại Ả-rập Xê-út, nền kinh tế lớn nhất khu vực, sẽ giảm nhẹ xuống còn 0,6% do cắt giảm sản lượng dầu, sau đó sẽ tăng 2% năm 2018. Cộng hòa Hồi giáo I-ran sẽ giảm tăng trưởng xuống còn 4% năm nay và lại tăng nhẹ lên 4,1% năm 2018 do chỉ còn ít khả năng tăng sản lượng dầu và khó tiếp cận vốn. Ai-cập dự kiến sẽ tăng trưởng nhẹ năm nay, và sang năm sẽ tăng tốc trong kỳ trung hạn nhờ cải thiện môi trường kinh doanh và nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh. Nam Á: toàn khu vực sẽ tăng trưởng 6,8% năm 2017 và 7,1% năm 2018 do cầu trong nước và xuất khẩu tăng mạnh. Trừ Ấn Độ, toàn khu vực sẽ duy trì mức tăng 5,7%, sau đó sẽ tăng lên 5,8%, trong đó tốc độ tăng trưởng sẽ tăng tại Bhutan, Pakistan, và Sri Lanka nhưng sẽ giảm tại Bangladesh và Nepal. Ấn Độ dự kiến sẽ tăng tốc và đạt mức 7,2% trong năm tài khóa 2017 (1/1/2017 – 31/3/2018) và 7,5% sang năm. Pakistan dự kiến cũng sẽ tăng tốc và đạt mức 5,2% trong năm tài khóa 2017 (1/7/2016 – 30/6/2017) và 5,5% trong năm tài khóa 2018 nhờ tăng đầu tư tư nhân, tăng cường cung cấp năng lượng và tình hình an ninh được cải thiện. Sri Lanka cũng tăng và đạt mức 4,7% năm 2017 và 5,0% năm 2018 nhờ các chương trình của các tổ chức tài chính quốc tế hỗ trợ cải cách kinh tế và nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh kinh tế tư nhân. Tiểu Saharan châu Phi: Tỉ lệ tăng trưởng khu vực dự kiến sẽ tăng và đạt 2,6% năm 2017 và 3,2% năm 2018 nhờ giá nguyên vật liệu tăng nhẹ và cải thiện cán cân kinh tế vĩ mô. Nhưng sản lượng trung bình đầu người sẽ giảm 0,1% năm 2017 và tăng 0,7% giai đoạn 20180-2019. Tốc độ tăng trưởng đó sẽ không đủ để hoàn thành mục tiêu giảm nghèo trong khu vực, nhất là trong trường hợp các yếu tố hạn chế tăng trưởng vẫn tồn tại dai dẳng. Nam Phi dự kiến sẽ tăng trưởng 0,6% trong 2017 và tiếp tục tăng lên mức 2,4% năm 2018. Tăng trưởng tại các nước không thâm dụng tài nguyên cũng sẽ ổn định nhờ đầu tư vào hạ tầng, khu vực dịch vụ tăng trưởng tốt và sản xuất nông nghiệp hồi phục. Ethiopia dự kiến sẽ tăng trưởng 8,3%, Tanzania tăng 7,2%, Côte d’Ivoire tăng 6,8%, và Senegal tăng 6,7% năm 2017.

A major constraint for economic growth in the Caribbean is the lack of innovative enterprises which are likely to be key job creators. Access to adequate finance to launch, develop, and grow is a principal challenge for small Caribbean business…
