South-South knowledge exchanges are
increasingly recognized as one of the most effective
learning and development tools. While it is important to
facilitate such exchange of first-hand experiences and
lessons across developing countries, what is even more
important is what is actually done with the outcomes of the
learning and knowledge sharing that take place across
boundaries. So in this Quick Note authors would like to take
it a step further and share the Iraq country experience,
which has recently benefitted from South-South knowledge
exchange facilitated by the World Bank. In this case, the
World Bank not only acted as a facilitator and convener, but
also as a solution provider. The cash-based social safety
net program administered by the Ministry of labor and social
affairs has expanded to reach nearly one million families
(based on categorical targeting), with a budget of about
US$800 million. Overall, Iraq spends close to 10 percent of
its gross domestic product on social safety net programs, of
which 7.7 percent is spent on food and fuel subsidies. |
