The objective of this assignment is to improve the livelihoods of at least 150 households through improved agriculture (technical and commercial) and household practices (i.e. use of assets, family budgeting, nutrition, gender equity, etc.) and develop access to improved technical know-how by building capacity of 40 lead farmers that will share knowledge of improved technical practices with their peers.

Girls are attending school in greater numbers than ever before, and women are 
increasingly entering the labor force and leading businesses. Although we should celebrate this progress, much work remains in order for a girl born today to have the same opportunities as a boy.
Research from the World Bank and others shows that Moreover, it is the right thing to do. Fortunately, more countries recognize that economies can reach their full potential only with the full participation of both women and men.
The World Bank Group is supporting countries in achieving this goal in important areas, including the removal of discriminatory laws, investment to close gender gaps, broadening access to finance, and stepping up efforts to prevent gender-based violence.
As COVID-19 reaches more than 60 countries, the World Bank Group is making available 
an initial package of up to $12 billion in immediate support to assist countries coping with the health and economic impacts of the global outbreak. This financing is designed to help member countries take effective action to respond to and, where possible, lessen the tragic impacts posed by the COVID-19 (coronavirus).
Through this new fast track package, the World Bank Group will help developing countries strengthen health systems, including better access to health services to safeguard people from the epidemic, strengthen disease surveillance, bolster public health interventions, and work with the private sector to reduce the impact on economies. The financial package, with financing drawn from across IDA, IBRD and IFC, will be globally coordinated to support country-based responses.
The Private Sector Liaisons are proud to present the first of four World Bank procurement 
training webinars.
World Bank contract bidding process webinar provides information about the bidding process for projects tendered by the client countries of the World Bank Group. The presenter is Nancy Bikondo-Omosa Senior Procurement Specialist.

a) Review available government legal, policy and strategy documents for the sector and undertake a detailed assessment of the performance of the electricity supply value chain.
b) Undertake an institutional and organizational review of the current ESI (public and private) institutional arrangements including skills audit and needs assessment.
c) Develop alternative options, clearly delineating the pros and cons, for the functional responsibilities and organizational structure of the ESI alongside the electricity value chain including generation, transmission and distribution functions, including the relations and transactions of the various entities in the ESI. The consultant shall recommend the optimal structure, clearly highlighting the rationale for the recommendation and the associated glide/transition phases as may be required.
d) Define the key responsibilities (value chains) for the management and operations of the ESI including policy and regulatory functions.

The assignment aims to develop a suite of practical new Methodologies to develop a flood damage/loss database and systems to support the development of flood risk maps for Romania. It will involve completing the following tasks:
1. Develop the typology structure for a flood damage and loss database.
2. Develop a methodology for flood damage assessment to create data for the database.
3. Develop the population of the database with actual flood damage data and using synthetic data to fill gaps 4. Develop a methodology for the elaboration of Flood Risk Maps, considering the comments received from the European Commission and making use of the existing and new flood hazard maps and the flood damage and loss data base.
5. Trial the deployment of the flood damage/loss database methodology and the development of Flood Risk Maps.

The assignment aims to develop methodologies to elaborate the flood hazard maps for Areas of Potential Significant Flood Risk reported to the European Commission in 2019 (APSFR II). It will involve the following tasks: 1.Collate and review existing information on APSFR from cycle I and II, Flood Hazard Maps I and methodology. 2.Set out a clear overall integrated methodological framework for hazard mapping with specific methodologies for different types of flood hazards (Flash Floods, Pluvial Floods in urban areas, Coastal flooding, flooding due to dyke breaches)identified under the APSFR II. This framework is to be aligned with the methodology used during the first cycle for FHMs from fluvial source, will consider the comments received from the European Commission in the first cycle and international best practices. 3.Propose a method to integrate expected impacts of climate change into the development of the new Flood Hazard Maps and for using the existing Flood Hazard Maps of cycle 1
