Implementation Completion Report (CPL-40460; SCL-4046A) on a Loan in the Amount of US$350 Million to the Federative Republic of Brazil for a Federal Railways Restructuring and Privatization Project
Author: Jacques Cellier
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Privatization
Languages : en
Pages : 27
Book Description
The assessment of outcome is satisfactory, sustainability likely, and institutional development impacts are high. An important lesson is that addressing the redundancy issue upfront, and initiating a well-designed staff retrenchment program, with adequate social safeguards, negotiated with labor unions prior to privatization, can be an effective instrument to minimize the impacts of restructuring, and to reduce opposition to such project. The process of privatization of Brazil's railways could very well have derailed, and many employees could have been brought into poverty without the attention given to the issue by RFFSA management. Moreover, support for a well-designed staff retrenchment program, equitable severance payments, and retraining and outplacement efforts, can substantially increase the credibility of such program, greatly improving the feasibility of the entire privatization project. This was the first Bank investment project which directly helped finance severance payments, where the risks identified at the time of project preparation, did not actually materialize. Other lessons convey the need for an established regulatory framework prior to initiating a privatization program, as in this case, a broader (geographical) restructuring of the public railways would have been needed to allow for more efficient private operations. Regrettably, the Government's decision to proceed with privatization anyway, had mixed results, for the privatization process was completed,

Financing Energy Efficiency
Author: Robert P. Taylor
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821373056
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
While energy efficiency projects could partly meet new energy demand more cheaply than new supplies, weak economic institutions in developing and transitional economies impede developing and financing energy efficiency retrofits. This book analyzes these difficulties, suggests a 3-part model for projectizing and financing energy efficiency retrofits, and presents thirteen case studies to illustrate the issues and principles involved.
