Empirical results indicate that downstreaming has a significant positive impact on GDP, investment, exports, and real wages at both regional and national levels, although creates economic disparities between regions, especially for CPO-producing regions such as Riau and Jambi. Downstream sectors such as cooking oil, cosmetics, and soap experience a high investment surge, while the upstream sectors actually show contractions. Downstreaming improves value added and national export competitiveness, eventhough import of intermediate inputs and dependence on foreign technology increases which must be anticipated. These findings emphasize the requirement for an inclusive, long run oriented downstreaming policy design accompanied by strengthening infrastructure, workforce capacity, and cross-sectoral governance to drive economic benefits distributed more equally and sustainably.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100706"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144572553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates the adequacy of the legal and institutional framework of land rights especially for women, identifies gaps in the practical implementation of land rights for women, and offers recommendations on facilitating a better land access for rural women.To address these research objectives, a qualitative research approach was employed. Qualitative data collection techniques, such as in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions were applied to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed using thematic data analysis techniques employing Atlas ti.8 Software. The study revealed that the existing formal land laws are not sufficient to ensure rural women’s land access and to protect their land rights, though rural women are required to be treated equally to men in the acquisition, use, and control of land. Gaps in the implementation of laws regulating access to rural land and a lack of institutions at local level have been identified. To better protect and enforce the right of rural women to access land, gender-sensitive legal frameworks should be properly enforced and appropriate institutional frameworks created in the study area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100705"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144632335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses data from a nationally representative randomized survey experiment in Tanzania to provide a comparative assessment of how household consumption and poverty measures may be impacted by relying on a 14-day food consumption diary versus two variants of a 7-day recall-based food consumption data collection. Both descriptive and regression analytical approaches were employed. The results reveal significant differences in food consumption expenditures across the diary and recall arms, and these differences result in some variations in total consumption expenditures as well. The results show further that while the diary method captures more diversity in food consumption items, the overall food consumption expenditure appears significantly lower than in the recall arms, even at different percentiles. Despite these disparities, the paper finds little statistically significant difference in poverty headcount between the diary and recall arms, even at different thresholds.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100696"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings contribute to the small but growing literatures on agri-food value chain (AVC) resilience and adaptation by traders – an area of increasing interest from policymakers and development partners due to its important implications for food security and welfare. Using data from several sources, including rare panel data sets of traders and farmers and key informant interviews, we show that crop traders were central to the resilience of Myanmar’s maize value chain during this turbulent period. High global maize prices incentivized traders to adapt and continue trading despite the risks and disruptions, allowing them to perform three critical functions contributing to resilience: (i) market discovery when primary trade routes were closed; (ii) overcoming transportation disruptions and bank closures to move maize from the farmgate to local and export markets; (iii) maintaining flows of credit to farmers throughout the crises in the form of selling inputs on credit and direct cash lending, injecting much needed liquidity amid disruptions in the banking sector and rising input prices. These findings highlight how trader-driven adaptations, supported by favorable prices and returns, sustained the sector’s growth through profound economic and political uncertainty.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100699"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144320928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there have been increasing concerns about the effectiveness, controllability, and relationship between subsidies and overfishing, and fisheries resource degradations since the early 1990 s. Because of the importance of marine fisheries in social economic development and national food security, the Vietnamese government introduced the first fisheries subsidies in 1997. After that three more subsidy programs were implemented in 2008, 2010, and 2014 with targeting on offshore fishing fleet development. This study provides an overview of the context, contents, application, achievement, and limitations of those four Vietnamese fisheries subsidies during the past 25 years. A total of more than $1.5 billion has been distributed for loans, quasi-lump sum fuel cost support, and insurance programs to improve fishing capacity and operation. The number of Vietnamese offshore fishing boats substantially increased from 2,891 boats in 1996 to 34,825 boats in 2023 partly based on those capital credit programs. However, subsidy schemes have shown several limitations. All of these have been discussed in this paper, in addition to recommendations of possible strategies for reform. The paper can help policy makers and managers to better design for future fisheries development programs to align with the World Trade Organization’s agreement on fisheries subsidies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100704"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This clientelism increased voting shares from farming communities using vote-buying strategies during a period of high unemployment (the dry season). We successfully computationally reproduce their results, and note some potential revisions to the replication packet to improve future replication. Further, we test the robustness replicability of the results through re-analyses modifying the definition of labor allocation, the definition of water-stress, as well as sub-analysis by voter turnout and voter population. We find that extreme water-stress jurisdictions are heavy recipients of reallocated labor, and find that labor is reallocated from part-time to full-time employment through the welfare program. Electoral victories from the ruling party successful implement vote-buying strategies in water-stressed electorates with high voter-turnout and large constituencies.

However, in such framings, camp dwellers are often seen as passive recipients, isolated from any opportunity to cultivate a sense of belonging. This perception is reinforced by institutional accounts and reports that overlook refugees’ everyday spatial practices to reshape their environments, resulting in not only obscuring how refugees actively reconfigure camp spaces through home-making, but also contributing to spatial interventions that feel imposed and disconnected from lived realities, precluding avenues for belonging. This paper explores how Palestinian refugees construct the camp both spatially and temporally through everyday home-making practices that imbue the camp with meaning and attachment. To achieve this, I utilize the assemblage theory (<span><span>Deleuze and Guattari, 1987</span></span>, <span><span>DeLanda, 2006</span></span>, <span><span>McFarlane, 2009</span></span>, <span><span>Dovey, 2010</span></span>) as the analytical approach to better understand home-making as an open-ended process, analyzing the material and symbolic features of housing settlements in the camp. The study adopts a bottom-up methodology that combines empirical and archival research to investigate three Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan: Baqa’a, Al-Husn, and Talbiyeh, drawing from ethnographic fieldwork based on interviews, direct observation, and graphic journaling. This study argues that although camps are initially shaped by institutional planning, refugees’ home-making practices reshape their development over time. This dynamic interplay challenges static institutional layouts, showing how refugees’ modifications redefine both spatial form and social meaning of the camp. It also highlights how refugee agency actively co-produces the evolving camp beyond its original intent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37831,"journal":{"name":"World Development Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100714"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144739323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
