WASHINGTON, 19 de mayo de 2017 – El Directorio Ejecutivo del Banco Mundial (BM) aprobó ayer un préstamo de US$25 millones de financiamiento adicional al Proyecto de Competitividad Rural (Comrural), para contribuir a incrementar la productividad y competitividad de pequeños productores rurales a través de la implementación de planes de negocio que permitan mejorar y agregar valor a sus productos, así como conectarse directamente con el mercado. El proyecto se basa en un modelo de alianzas productivas basado en cadenas de valor, entre cuatro actores: las organizaciones de productores; las instituciones financieras privadas para que los productores puedan acceder a recursos económicos necesarios para realizar inversiones; los aliados técnicos, que proveen asesoría tanto en el campo como en la comercialización de los productos y por último; los socios comerciales, que garantizan la adquisición de productos y servicios de los productores sin intermediarios. “Comrural es el proyecto emblemático del Gobierno de Honduras para promover la competitividad agrícola en el país y se ha convertido en una parte integral de la estrategia del Gobierno para vincular a los pequeños productores con los mercados nacionales e internacionales”, señaló el Ministro de Agricultura, Jacobo Paz. “Comrural es un pilar de la Alianza para el Corredor Seco, el programa para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y del Plan 20/20, para mejorar la agricultura como motor de la creación de empleos sostenibles y el desarrollo económico”, dijo por su parte, Marco Bográn, Director de INVEST-H, la agencia que implementará el proyecto. Además de los siete departamentos del Occidente del país donde el proyecto se implementa (Ocotepeque, Copán, Intibucá, Lempira, Comayagua, Santa Bárbara, La Paz), el financiamiento adicional va a apoyar actividades en seis nuevos departamentos situados al norte, centro y sur de Honduras (Colón, Atlántida, Cortés, Francisco Morazán, Choluteca, El Paraíso). El financiamiento adicional espera beneficiar a 5,500 hogares rurales y financiar unos 70 planes de negocios durante los próximos tres años.  “A través del financiamiento Comrural, el Banco Mundial busca apoyar a las poblaciones más desfavorecidas a mejorar sus condiciones de vida como elemento fundamental para poder escapar de la pobreza”, señaló Giorgio Valentini, representante del Banco Mundial en Honduras. Este nuevo apoyo pone especial énfasis en aumentar la capacidad de adaptación al cambio climático, un aspecto de gran importancia en Honduras debido a su alta vulnerabilidad climática, que tiene efectos directos en el aumento de los niveles de pobreza y la inseguridad alimentaria. El financiamiento adicional apoyará la promoción de mejores prácticas agrícolas, así como la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías que permitan fortalecer la capacidad de los productores para hacer frente a condiciones climáticas cada día más exigentes. El préstamo tiene un plazo de amortización de 25 años incluyendo un período de gracia de cinco años.

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2017 – The World Bank Group has renewed its commitment to preventing violence against women and girls, investing a minimum of $3.5 million over five years in innovations designed to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim made the announcement at the Innovations to Prevent Gender-Based Violence awards ceremony during the WBG-IMF Spring Meetings. In partnership with the Sexual Violence Research Initiative, 10 teams were awarded a total of $1.1 million to support their GBV prevention and response projects and research. “We cannot stand by while so many women suffer harm that’s completely preventable, but this is also an issue that goes right to the heart of our goals to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity,” Kim said, noting that the epidemic can cost countries as much as 3.7% of gross domestic product (GDP). “The World Bank Group is committed to working tirelessly to help its client countries prevent gender-based violence.” Using the Development Marketplace Crowdsourcing Method, Kim said the WBG is looking to the award winners’ research and tested projects to help advance that goal. The winning proposals include tackling sexual harassment on college campuses and on public transportation, addressing child marriage and an emerging form of GBV: cyber violence. Cyber violence is pervasive, and women and girls are disproportionately affected, yet very little research exists on this problem especially in low and middle income countries, said award winner Pamela Lilleston, a social and behavioral scientist at the International Center for Research on Women, whose team project aims to develop a set of standards that will be tested in Uganda, and later used to inform effective cyber violence policies and programs. Technology is at the core of another winning proposal designed to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) in Dollo Ado refugee camp in Ethiopia. The research project aims to explore the use of podcasts to disseminate information about inter-partner violence, and generate new knowledge on the use of technology-based solutions to GBV in humanitarian settings. “Podcasts we think are an interesting solution in this context because they can be broadcast in safe environments such as health facilities and so on, but they can also be downloaded there on simple mobile devices and shared person to person,” said awardee Vandana Sharma, a public health researcher based at the Harvard TC Chan School of Public Health. “We will be training men and women in the communities in digital storytelling and in podcasting, and they will develop the content themselves in the local language with messaging that’s appropriate for their contexts.” Awardee Renzo Peña, co-founder and vice president of DB Peru, a healthcare NGO, said his team’s project is in response to the concerns of the Amazon Basin community of Peru, which reports high rates of violence with no resources to address it. Recent figures show that 79% of women between 18 and 29 report experiencing sexual violence at some point in their lives. As a result, the first primary preventative strategy for GBV in the rural region of the Lower Napo River, was developed. It is also the first community mobilization project of its type in Peru, and Peña said he plans to share his research throughout the region. “We have been working for 15 years in the region, and we work very closely with the leaders in the community who will be trained so they can bring that knowledge to their own communities, and thus be able to prevent and eliminate violence in the communities themselves,” he said.  Awardee Emma Fulu, founder and director of The Equity Institute, said despite data that show that Solomon Islands has one of the highest rates of violence in the world, it is still the most under-researched regions. Her team project focuses on prevention of GBV by researching root causes and social norms that contribute to violence against women and girls by developing the Solomon Islands’ first community-led, locally developed comprehensive violence prevention program. “Because of the high rates of violence, we know we need to look at how to stop violence before it starts, trying to understand what are the root causes, what are the social norms that are really underpinning violence against women in this region,” Fulu said. “I think what’s really exciting about this particular project is that it’s filling a number of major evidence gaps, not just in the Solomon Islands or the Pacific, but really globally.” Caren Grown, World Bank Group senior director for gender, highlighted prevention as an important part of the GBV learning community facilitated by the Development Marketplace. “Of course we have learning on response and how we help and work with survivors, but the most important learning is on prevention,” she said. “Without prevention, we can’t ever solve this particular problem, so bringing people together to experiment, to test, to learn is really critical.” 2017 Winners:Sexual Harassment among Jordanian College Students: Pilot Testing a Promising Primary Prevention Intervention (Jordan, Middle East/ North Africa)Team: Information and Research Center King Hussein Foundation and Emory UniversityGender Equity Model Promoting Women’s Economic Empowerment and Fighting Gender Based Violence (Egypt, Middle East/North Africa)Team: The American University of CairoGender based Violence Prevention in the Amazon of Peru Project (Peru, Latin America)Team: University College London; and DB PeruBuilding the Evidence Base for ‘Safe Families’ – a Comprehensive Community-led model for Violence Prevention in Solomon Islands.

“Mi hijo, el doctor”. “Mi hija, la arquitecta”. Estas expresiones, tan típicas de los padres, muestran el orgullo de quienes, al no haber podido acceder a la universidad, sueñan desde el primer momento en el que sus hijos comienzan a transitar el camino de la educación superior. Más allá del anhelo de los progenitores, en América Latina y el Caribe diferentes políticas públicas y el ascenso de la clase media en la década pasada han empujado a muchos más jóvenes a las puertas de las universidades. Los números así lo demuestran. La cantidad de personas entre 18 y 24 años que asisten a una institución de educación superior aumentó del 21% en 2000 al 43% en el 2013 con una mayor cantidad de estudiantes provenientes de sectores medios y bajos, algo que no se veía años atrás. Hoy existen más de 20 millones de estudiantes que asisten a las más de 10 mil instituciones, las cuales ofrecen más de 60 mil programas de formación, según los hallazgos del estudio Momento Decisivo: La Educación Superior en América Latina, del Banco Mundial. Nada mal en comparación con otras regiones donde ir a la universidad o a un instituto de educación superior es solo un lujo que algunos pocos se pueden dar. Pero hoy, la educación universitaria se encuentra en una encrucijada. Su rápida expansión, las características de los "nuevos" estudiantes y regulaciones laxas han llevado a muchos a cuestionar la calidad de sus programas. Millones de estudiantes entran en sus aulas, pero no todos acceden a opciones de calidad. Esto significa que no solo no cuentan con un plan de estudios atractivo que los retenga hasta terminar si no que, al graduarse, tampoco están preparados para enfrentar las demandas del mercado laboral actual. Se calcula que solo el 50% de los estudiantes que inician sus estudios superiores llegan a terminar y se gradúan. Y en un mundo que afronta nuevos desafíos como la automatización, las demandas de nuevas habilidades y un escenario político cambiante, las carreras tradicionales consideradas más exitosas han sido destronadas por otras más acordes a los requerimientos del mundo actual. Los ránkings, que a menudo se usan como indicadores de la calidad de la educación superior, no presentan buenas noticias para América Latina. Entre los 500 mejores institutos de educación superior, solo hay 10 de la región, siendo África la única región con menos: El estudio del Banco Mundial investiga tres aspectos clave de la educación superior en la región: calidad, variedad y equidad. Un buen sistema de educación superior ofrece programas de calidad que maximizan el potencial de los estudiantes. Una variedad de ofertas permite a los estudiantes encontrar su mejor opción: entrenar no solo a los médicos necesarios en un hospital, sino también a las enfermeras y los asistentes administrativos. Dado que la mera disponibilidad de la variedad y la calidad no garantizan el acceso o éxito de los estudiantes, un sistema de educación superior muestra la equidad cuando los estudiantes tienen acceso a iguales oportunidades. La equidad muchas veces comienza desde temprano. No todos los jóvenes y sus familias cuentan con la información ni los recursos necesarios para tomar una decisión correcta con respecto a la elección de una carrera profesional. En muchos casos, elegir es una oportunidad única en la vida y equivocarse puede ser el final de una carrera: la transferencia de programas es bastante dificultosa y burocrática. Continuar o abandonar A pesar de los escollos a los que se enfrentan, los estudiantes considerados más pobres representaron el 45% del aumento de la matrícula en los últimos años. Sin embargo, estos “nuevos” estudiantes provienen de familias con menores recursos y muchas veces no están preparados académicamente para enfrentar los desafíos de la educación superior, lo que muchas veces explica la falta de completación de las carreras de educación superior. En promedio, solo la mitad de las personas entre 25 y 29 años que estaban matriculadas no completaron sus estudios, ya sea por abandono o porque aún continúan estudiando. De los que abandonan, la mitad lo hace en el primer año de su carrera. El sistema no ayuda. Las carreras son largas y tediosas. Se estima el tiempo que tardan los estudiantes de América Latina y el Caribe en completarlas es un promedio de 36% más que en el resto del mundo. Esto implica que los estudiantes pasan más años como tales y, por ende, durante sus años facultativos ganan salarios acordes a su nivel secundario. El tiempo excesivo también tiene un costado filoso: los estudiantes muchas veces necesitan salir a trabajar para completar sus estudios, pero al mismo tiempo terminan abandonándolos por estar abrumados por las responsabilidades laborales y no ver la luz al final del túnel. Dada la urgencia de la región en mejorar su productividad en un contexto de crecimiento lento, es clave la formación de capital humano de manera rápida y eficiente. De acuerdo al estudio, los hacedores de política pública tienen que tener en cuenta que no necesariamente acceso implica completación y calidad. El estudio también recomienda que se deben diseñar políticas multidimensionales que no solo evalúen la calidad de los contenidos brindados en las instituciones, si no también apoyo a estudiantes que no están académicamente listos para la educación superior, e incentivos tanto para las universidades como para estudiantes para terminar la carrera.

WASHINGTON, May 19, 2017 – The World Bank Board of Directors approved a US$25 million loan yesterday. This loan is additional financing for the Rural Competitiveness Project (Comrural) to contribute to increasing productivity and competitiveness of small-scale rural producers through the implementation of business plans to improve and add value to their products as well as to directly connect them with the market. The project encourages productive partnerships based on value chains among four actors: producers’ organizations; private financial institutions to give producers access to the economic resources necessary to make investments; technical partners, who provide advice both in the field and in product marketing; and commercial partners, who guarantee the purchase of producers’ products and services without intermediaries.  “Comrural is the emblematic project of the Government of Honduras to promote agricultural competitiveness in the country and has become an integral part of the government strategy to link small-scale producers with national and international markets,” said Agriculture Minister Jacobo Paz. “Comrural is a pillar of the Seco Corridor Partnership, the program for food and nutritional security, and of Plan 20/20 to improve agriculture as a driver of sustainable jobs and economic development,” said Marco Bográn, Director of INVEST-H, the implementing agency of the project. In addition to the seven departments in the western part of the country where the project is implemented (Ocotepeque, Copán, Intibucá, Lempira, Comayagua, Santa Bárbara and La Paz), the additional financing will support activities in six new departments located in northern, central and southern Honduras (Colón, Atlántida, Cortés, Francisco Morazán, Choluteca and El Paraíso). With the additional financing, an estimated 5,500 new rural households will benefit and 70 business plans will be financed over the next three years.  “By financing Comrural, the World Bank seeks to support disadvantaged populations in improving their living conditions as a key component of efforts to escape poverty,” said Giorgio Valentini, World Bank representative in Honduras. This new project focuses on increasing the capacity for adaptation to climate change, which is crucial in Honduras given its high vulnerability to climate events, which have a direct impact on increasing poverty rates and food insecurity. The additional financing will support the promotion of better agricultural practices, as well as the incorporation of new technologies to strengthen producers’ capacity to face increasingly demanding climate conditions. The loan has a maturity period of 25 years, including a five-year grace period.
