    The project initially focused on
    building upon the 1998 Registration Law to develop
    registration procedures, and on getting the Legislative
    Reform Office (LROs) up and running. Cost, affordability,
    and quality of services were important considerations. The
    Project benefited from the country's high education
    levels and relatively low labor costs. Since independence in
    1991, the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic has sought to

    China

    This paper is motivated by the emphasis
    on secure property rights as a determinant of economic
    development in recent literature. The authors use village
    and household level information from about 800 villages
    throughout China to explore whether legal reform increased
    protection of land rights against unauthorized reallocation
    or expropriation with below-average compensation by the
    state. The analysis provides nation-wide evidence on a

    Three of sub-Saharan Africa’s central
    economic realities motivate this study. First, agriculture
    is the most important sector in most African economies, on
    average accounting for nearly one-fourth of GDP. Second, the
    private sector is increasingly active in transforming
    African agriculture and economies. By 2030, agriculture and
    agribusiness are anticipated to become a US$ 1 trillion
    industry in Africa, delivering more jobs, income, and

    Honduras

    Honduras is Central America’s
    second-largest country with a population of more than 8
    million and a land area of about 112,000 square kilometers.
    The 20th century witnessed a profound economic
    transformation and modernization in Honduras. Honduras’
    persistent poverty is the result of long-term low per capita
    growth and high inequality, perpetuated by the country’s
    high vulnerability to shocks. First, over the past 40 years

    Myanmar, Global

    Myanmar grew at an estimated 8.5 percent
    in real terms in 2014-15. Economic reforms have supported
    consumer and investor confidence despite business
    environment and socio-political challenges. The economic
    impact of the floods that hit Myanmar from July 2015 is
    still being assessed, but will likely adversely affect the
    main rice crop this year. According to preliminary analysis
    of census data, the areas most affected by the floods are

    Honduras

    Honduras’ recent economic performance
    has been positive, especially taking into account the global
    economic context. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
    accelerated from 2.8 percent in 2013 to 3.1 percent in 2014
    and 3.6 percent in the first half of 2015. Growth has been
    supported by improved terms of trade, higher remittance
    inflows and export demand driven by the on-going recovery of
    the United States (US), and improved investor confidence.

    Millions of coffee farmers and coffee
    trading enterprises lack sufficient credit. This is partly
    due to myriad challenges and considerable costs that formal
    lending institutions face serving rural, often isolated
    markets. A better understanding of coffee sector risks is
    needed to respond with strategies, training, and tools that
    can help farmers and enterprises, mitigate their exposure to
    risk, and strengthen their resilience against inevitable

    will succeed the Myanmar interim strategy note (FY13-14) and
    be the first full country strategy for Myanmar since 1984.
    This CPF comes at a time of great opportunity for Myanmar;
    over the three year period covered in this CPF, the reforms
    initiated in 2011 have the potential to bring Myanmar into a
    new era of peace and prosperity. Myanmar s history, ethnic
    diversity, and geography combine into a unique set of

    Africa

    Regional trade in Africa can play a
    vital role in diversifying economies and reducing dependence
    on the export of a few mineral products, in delivering food
    and energy security, in generating jobs for the increasing
    numbers of young people, and in alleviating poverty and
    promoting a shared prosperity. Women play a key role in
    trade in Africa and will be essential to Africa's
    success in exploiting its trade potential. In many countries
