Low-skilled "health promoters" posted in rural villages are doing little to improve health or health-seeking behaviors. In a supply-driven system, such workers have too few incentives , too little knowledge, and too little supervision. Results can be improved without increasing costs.

Low-skilled health promoters posted in rural villages are doing little to improve health or health-seeking behaviors. In a supply-driven system, such workers have too few incentives, too little knowledge, and too little supervision. Results can be improved without increasing costs. Can a supply-driven network of under-skilled rural health promoters make a difference in rural health care? There are few, if any, signs that the current rural health strategy in El Salvador is working, whether the health promoters are government employees or nongovernmental organization (NGO) workers.Lewis, Eskeland, and Traa-Valerezo arrived at this conclusion after conducting interviews and analyzing primary and secondary data. The village-based health promoters lack incentives and supervision, and ultimately have little to offer local communities. NGO workers are more successful than government workers, but neither group performs satisfactorily.Even the rural poor use private services quite intensively, despite the high cost of the services and of getting access to them.Moreover, people seem to seek the services they need. They select self-treatment in 50 percent of illness episodes, with about the same success rate as when they use health providers.Other options should be considered, as results can be improved without increasing costs.This paper - a product of the Human Development Sector Units, Europe and Central Asia Region and Latin America and Caribbean Region; and Public Economics, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the Bank to encourage appropriate policies and programs in the health sector.

Les conceptions et les politiques en matière de financement de la santé dans les pays à faible revenu s'articulent autour de paradigmes successivement dominants dans les approches des gouvernements et de leurs partenaires extérieurs : la gratuité des soins de base et " la santé pour tous " dans la lignée de la conférence d'Alma Ata, tout d'abord ; la contribution financière des usagers (" recouvrement des coûts ") à partir de la seconde moitié des années quatre-vingt. Plus récemment, l'accent a été mis sur le développement de mécanismes assuranciels, tout en approfondissant et en reconsidérant la réflexion sur la gratuité des soins et sur la participation financière des populations. Dans cette perspective, cet ouvrage a voulu confronter des travaux théoriques et appliqués sur une sélection de grandes questions soulevées par le financement de la santé. Il analyse des expériences et des politiques conduites en ces domaines dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique et d'Asie à faible revenu. Le livre est structuré autour de trois parties. La première porte sur les déterminants de l'accès aux soins, sur l'équité et la protection des plus pauvres, questions principalement abordées sous l'angle des effets de la contribution financière des usagers. La seconde traite des approches plurielles qui se développent en matière de mécanismes d'assurance, notamment dans le secteur informel. La troisième s'interroge sur les relations entre le financement et la régulation des systèmes de santé en considérant différentes problématiques qui mettent en relief l'importance des institutions et plus globalement des choix publics, rejoignant ainsi des orientations majeures de la réflexion économique contemporaine.

Policymakers interested in reducing poverty and improving income distribution in rural Egypt should focus on nonfarm income, which not only accounts for almost 60 percent of total income for the rural poor but also favorably affects income distribution. Nonfarm income is an inequality-reducing source of income in a land-scarce setting such as rural Egypt because inadequate land "pushes" poorer households out of agriculture and into the nonfarm sector.

At the start of each decade the World Development Report focuses on poverty reduction. The World Development Report, now in its twenty-third edition, proposes an empowerment-security-opportunity framework of action to reduce poverty in the first decades of the twenty-first century. It views poverty as a multidimensional phenonmenon arising out of complex interactions between assets, markets, and institutions. This Report shows how the experience of poverty reduction in the last fifteen years has been remarkably diverse and how this experience has provided useful lessons as well as warnings against simplistic universal policies and interventions. It shows how current global trends present extraordinary opportunities for poverty reduction but also cause extraordinary risks, including growing inequality, marginalization, and social explosions. The World Development Report 2000/2001 explores the challenge of managing these risks in order to make the most of the opportunities for poverty reduction.

The recent Asian currency crisis was caused by large prospective fiscal deficits associated with implicit bailout guarantees to failing banking systems. Absent the political will to raise taxes or cut spending, governments must resort to seignorage revenues to pay for the bailout of the banking system. In a world of forward-looking agents, this makes a currency crisis inevitable.
