    This paper explores how a 'conflict and violence sensitive' framework in project assessment, design and implementation facilitates early identification and mitigation of negative consequences of competition and dispute, and promotes sustainable development over the longer term. It discusses the role of renewable resources in perpetuating conflict and violence, and distills lessons from selected development programming experiences in managing conflict risks associated with these dynamics.

    This internal background paper has been prepared to help inform the 2010 environment strategy with respect to a proposed way forward on use of country systems. The World Bank Group environment strategy is built on three pillars: leveraging natural resources for growth and poverty reduction; managing the environmental risks to growth and development; and transforming growth paths. As part of its exploration of these three pillars, the strategy considers the question of environmental co-benefits of climate change actions.

    Vietnam's rapid and sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in the last two decades benefitted from the policy and legal reforms embodied in the Land Laws of 1987, 1993 and 2003 and subsequent related legal acts. This note outlines reforms related to four main themes. The first relates to the needed reform for agriculture land use to create opportunity to enhance effectiveness of land use as well as to secure farmers' rights in land use. Prolonging the duration of agricultural land tenure would give land users greater incentives to invest and care for the land.

    Labor mobility is determined by a whole set of different factors, but housing market is clearly one of the most important ones. Individuals do not make employment decisions without taking into account options of housing market. Economy constantly changes and diverse opportunities arise in different locations at different points of time. Badly functioning housing market can cause low labor mobility and restrain the ability of employers to match vacancies in specific locations. The issue of labor mobility is especially vital for developing countries.

    Women make essential contributions to agriculture in developing countries, where they constitute approximately 43 percent of the agricultural labor force. However, female farmers typically have lower output per unit of land and are much less likely to be active in commercial farming than their male counterparts. These gender differences in land productivity and participation between male and female farmers are due to gender differences in access to inputs, resources, and services. In this paper, the authors review the evidence on productivity differences and access to resources.

    The North Eastern Region (NER) in India is endowed with rich energy resources but faces significant bottlenecks in electricity access and availability levels. The per capita power consumption in NER is one-third of the national average. The region has a shortfall of about 500MW installed capacity against peak demand of about 1950 MW. No significant generation capacity has been added in the recent past. Therefore, inadequate power supply continues a critical constraint to sustainable growth and economic development in the NER.

    The majority of Ethiopians depend on
    medical plants as their only source of health care,
    especially in rural areas where access to villages is
    lacking due to the absence of vehicular roads. The
    increasing scarcity of medicinal plant species represents a
    trend that should be immediately addressed. The health and
    drug policies of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health recognize
    the important role medical plants and traditional health

    Forest resources directly contribute to
    the livelihoods of 90 percent of the 1.2 billion people
    living in extreme poverty and indirectly support the natural
    environment that nourishes agriculture and the food supplies
    of nearly half the population of the developing world.
    Forests also are central to growth in many developing
    countries through trade and industrial development. However,
    mismanagement of this resource has cost governments revenues

    to women's status and rights, have for a considerable
    period, been in the forefront of donors' dialogue on
    social issues with Africa. While Africa countries have fully
    acknowledged the seriousness of the issues and the urgent
    need for action, the dialogue has been largely donor-driven
    and issues and priorities been donor-set. Recognizing the
    need for a new approach in this important area for
