This approach can be structured to address the time inconsistency between a development program and political or electoral concerns, both of which are critical to overcome implementation challenges. 2014-02-05T18:29:24Z 2014-02-05T18:29:24Z 2013-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/12/18622245/escaping-capability-trap-turning-small-development-big-development http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16933 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6717 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Burundi
