A Look Inside the Report
 
The Bank's Internal Support for LICUS Work
  • Download PDF
    Substantial progress has been made in expanding analytical work and in developing guidance notes on specific topics.

  • Progress on human resource reforms remains unsatisfactory, and LICUS do not yet consistently attract staff capable of effectively addressing the difficult LICUS situations.

  • Learning by doing requires much more active and ongoing stock taking and knowledge sharing than currently takes place and needs to be a more prominent feature of LICUS work.

  • The Bank needs to ensure a receptive institutional environment and management support for staff to feel at ease sharing negative
  • Confidentiality and learning by doing are conflicting objectives.

  • There is significant confusion between the roles of the LICUS and Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction Units.
