WASHINGTON, July 21, 2020 — Estimates from satellite data show global gas flaring 
increased to levels not seen in more than a decade, to 150 billion cubic meters (bcm), equivalent to the total annual gas consumption of Sub-Saharan Africa.
The 3% rise, from 145 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2018 to 150 bcm in 2019, was mainly due to increases in three countries: the United States (up by 23%), Venezuela (up by 16%), and Russia (up by 9%). Gas flaring in fragile or conflict-affected countries increased from 2018 to 2019: in Syria by 35% and in Venezuela by 16%, despite oil production flattening in Syria and declining by 40% in Venezuela.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the transmission control measures it has necessitated have 
abruptly halted the movement of people that characterizes our interconnected world. The implications are enormous for migrants, who rely on working away from home to support themselves, their families, and their communities. Many of them are now in conditions that put them at greater risk of contracting COVID-19. The pandemic is also affecting critical sectors like agriculture where labor shortages are looming.

The purpose of this assignment is to deliver a proposal of an Inland Waterway Strategic Plan (IWSP) for Argentina, addressing the Paraguay-Parana-Uruguay-Rio de la Plata waterway. It will encompass all the technical, economic and institutional aspects, deemed relevant to achieve an efficient operation of the waterway, identifying and exploiting every opportunity for improvement. These topics will include at least the following: the economically convenient draft to be achieved in each section; economically viable interventions aimed at reducing congestion and delays; the proper sizing of the interventions, taking into account future trends regarding the design of the vessels. The IWSPs horizon will be at least the next 20 years, although it may be increased, if both the team and the Task Team Leader agree.
As cities gradually exit COVID-19 quarantines and reopen their economies, some

The purpose of this assignment is to deliver a proposal of a National Ports Strategic Plan (NPSP) for Argentina, addressing the whole port activity of the country, either under public or private responsibility; emphasis will be on the public owned ports, either if operated directly by government, or granted to the private sector. It will encompass all the technical, economic and institutional aspects, deemed relevant to achieve an efficient operation of the port system, identifying and exploiting every opportunity for improvement. Among such topics, at least the following will be included: the expected evolution of demand (both actual and potential), the present and potential efficiency of port operations, the opportunities for technological improvement, the definition of the optimal draft both in economic and environmental terms, the potential improvement of inland transportation that might increase the ports performance, the required institutional strengthening of the gov
