L’objectif de ce rapport est d’informer le gouvernement du Bénin, les groupes de réflexion et les chercheurs, le public et la direction de la Banque mondiale sur l’état de l’économie béninoise et ses perspectives, ainsi que sur les défis immédiats du développement. Le rapport se décompose en deux chapitres. Le premier offre une mise à jour sur les développements économiques récents, les perspectives à moyen terme et les risques. Il comprend des sections sur la croissance, la politique budgétaire, la dette publique, le secteur extérieur, les évolutions monétaires et l’inflation. Le deuxième chapitre se concentre sur la thématique des corridors économiques. La position géographique du Bénin est stratégique pour le commerce régional et le développement d’infrastructures et de services adaptés représente à la fois une opportunité économique mais également un outil pour intégrer les populations rurales pour un meilleur partage des fruits de la croissance.

The present public finance review (PFR) discusses challenges and opportunities for enhancing fiscal revenue and improving the efficiency and equity of limited public resources with a focus on human capital. It is the first public expenditure review for Benin since 2004. It focuses on the period 2010 onwards and draws on the latest World Bank’s boost dataset, jointly developed with the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Throughout this PFR, Benin is benchmarked against a set of regional, structural, and other peers. Structural peers are Togo, Rwanda, and Senegal; while other peers include Morocco, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Tunisia. Other peers were selected given that they had comparable underlying structural characteristics with Benin a decade earlier. The methodology for selection is in World Bank country economic memorandum. Benin will also be compared to West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and ECOWAS regional peers and to the broader lower-middle income country (LMIC) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) country groupings.

The objective of the Country Economic Memorandum is to inform the government policy and development partners by conducting a growth diagnostic with deep-dives in specific areas identified by the country scan under the CEM 2.0 framework. Three prominent issues are explored: (i) raising productivity and competitiveness; (ii) supporting the demographic transition; and (iii) reducing the infrastructure gap. The report is written against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affects the policy choices developing economies will need to make in the years to come, and its implications are therefore considered. Throughout the study, Benin will be benchmarked against regional averages including sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Western Africa Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries, structural peers (Senegal, Togo, Rwanda) and aspirational peers (Morocco, Sri Lanka, Ghana).
Team member- Flagship Report - Africa Chief Economist Office
The African continent is characterized by (i) an urgent need to reduce extreme poverty, (ii) low digital access and use, and (iii) affordability challenges linked to inadequate purchasing power and limited competition. These specific features of the African continent motivate this report. They are elaborated below. Additional Africa-specific characteristics also relevant for this report include (i) a “youth bulge” phenomenon—Africa is the region with the fastest growing labor force yet the lowest levels of human capital; and (ii) a few emerging digital technology (DT) innovations that already are starting to address some of Africa’s specific challenges—for instance, Kenya is the first country in the world to issue government paper on a retail basis via mobile phones; and Africa is home to all ten economies worldwide with more adults having a mobile money account than a financial institution account.

Africa’s Resource Future provides policy makers with practical recommendations for turning a “resource curse” into a resource opportunity. Besides capturing the full value of resource rents while continuing to attract private sector investment, governments should prepare for the next boom and bust cycle by investing resource rents into productive capital – by investing in people’s health and education and infrastructure that can support more diverse and resilient economies.

Border Management Risk Assessment, UNODC (2018)
Consultant for designing a risk assessment of crime in the context of a freer movement of goods
Theme: border management, transnational crime, risk assessment, local crime risk index
Skills: data collection strategy, report design, Google Sheet, Google Data Studio
Designed a solution to estimate the crime risks associated to freer movement of people and goods
Built a structured database and established a data collection strategy for the Great Mekong Subregion
Provided a customized online reporting of risk assessment at the border level
Context:
The regional roadmap for connectivity, such as the ASEAN Community 2015 and Greater Mekong Sub movement of people and goods. Entry and exit points at border crossings will be increasingly pressed by the need to ensure efficient movements while also guaranteeing the legality of these movements. Border control officers in this region remain ill-equipped, making it difficult to combat the trafficking of people, narcotic drugs and precursor chemicals, wildlife, timber and counterfeit goods in a comprehensive manner. At the same time, the flows of people and cargo are growing bigger and moving faster, illustrating the need for increasing the fundamental knowledge, information and operational capacity among frontline officers.

Consultant for the data analysis of global survey data and the drafting of key findings for 'Women in Business' Report
Since 2013, ACT/EMP has led a global initiative to collect data from companies to measure gender diversity in business and gain insights on women’s leadership and representation. Through a company survey conducted with the support of national employers’ organizations, approximately 1,300 responses from 39 countries were collected which formed the basis of a global report, Women in Business and Management: Gaining Momentum, which was published in 2015. The report was widely disseminated, received substantive coverage in international media including the Guardian and the Financial Times, and was heavily utilized to build more concrete interventions at national and regional levels. To further strengthen these efforts, ACT/EMP will conduct a follow-up survey with companies worldwide in 2017. The purpose of this survey is to track progress and gain new insights and information to better inform companies and national employers’ organizations on the business case for gender diversity and also assist in shaping out the ILO’s technical cooperation programs.

Trade Facilitation in Regional Trade Agreements: Impact on Trade Costs and Multilateral Spillovers
The coverage of trade facilitation is found to have become very extensive, with the details of provisions in some agreements matching that in the draft WTO agreement on trade facilitation. Trade facilitation provisions and principles are increasingly seen to apply not only to Customs procedures but more generally, as reflected in the number of recent agreements featuring separate Trade Facilitation and/or Transparency chapters (or equivalent). Other trade facilitation measures that seem to be increasingly common include those on Automation/Use of ICT, Risk Management, Advance Ruling and Single Window. The ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) and its detailed commitment to implement a Trade Facilitation Work Programme stands out as it provides a concrete and specific way forward to ensure that progress is made towards actual implementation of the many trade facilitation measures mentioned in it.
