The tendency of attaching ad..'1linistrative tasks to V.E.Ms work is jeopardising tlte whole system and should be ruled out. 4. The proposed staffing ~enbers relate only to V.E.Ms vs. the actual strengtL which deals with both Procurement and Extensio!'l V.E.Ms. The 1:rnnual increase in the number of farm families in the project areas is negligible, meaning approximately one additional V.E.M. for each of the six years of the Project. We agreed wi t.'1 u Ba Huin on all the proposed figures and according to him, strengthening of the staff will face no difficulties. 5. Our views on Items l, 2 and 3 are quite identical. 6. Actually there is only one research worker in the whole Division. The man is a paddy specialist, located at Myanqmya engaged in research on a part-time basis, and managing ::he seed fann w:i t.h the assistance of two tech- Our propo"'al to u Khin Hawng, Research General Manager was to strengthen Research by one Plant Protection Specialist to Le located at I'.lyangmya in order to cope with increase of Plant 'Protection problems to be expec- ted with the intensification of the Paddy Crop and introduction of new vari8t.ies. Another researcL worker , nn AgronomD,t speci.alised in Water Managtnnent should be located in the Lower Delta where soil and wa·ter condi-Lions are strikj ngly differen t from those prevalent in Myangmya (Upper Delta ) . The latter should concentrate on watering requirements of crops and not on the Engineexing aspects of irrigation. ~·~his idea was principa lly acc epted by iJ Khin Mawng , as well as by the Deputy Manager of the National Research Centre , being sub j ect to the e,1pprovc.tl of the GE:nera l Manager of the Centr E:. Two promjsing young r esearch workers could he easily earmarked and trained . Salaries for ·i:.wo research workers have been included in the Budget . /3 • 3• . 7. Identification of impact points should be carried out cooperatively by Subject Matter Specialists and Research workers. As subject Matt,sr Specialists are still sparse, I urged u Ba Huin to appoint an able assistant who should start right away with preparation of impact points. 8. Plant Protection sq112.ds being .i.n charge of Regulatory and Executive ,;unctio11s should not be ir,tegrated into the Extension set-up . I en j oyed very much the days we spent together in Burma.

A decision meeting was held on ~ecember 17, 1975 to discuss the Issues Paper dated December 8, 1975. The meeting was attended by J~ ftMW Messrs. Shibusawa, Jansen, Colliou, Rajap~tirana and Sinha from South ~ Asia Programs, Messrs. Franich, Chang and Hunting from South Asia ~ Zoj.~c;,~, Mr. Rotes from CPS and Mr. Shu~le (consultant). / : //~~JJ . 2. The meeting di scussed the i~sues related to the proposed project~~- a project which would provide flood protection and ?rainage to about 185,000 net acres of agricultural land in 11 polders of Lower Burma Delta region. The proje~t would involve construction of . 390 miles of flood protection embarlan~r ts; impro emcnt of 900 miles of drai~age channel; construction of water control structure on channels; land clearing an~ settlement of 6,500 landless families on about 65,000 ·acres of reclaimed land; pro- vision of ~onstruction, farm, workshop, transport and hydrological mea- surement equipment, establishment of full time agriculture extension ser- vicf;!.; provision of storage facilities; .a nd technical assistance. The project would benefit about 20,000 families and increase annual rice pro- duction by about 90,000 tons and jute by about 6,000 tons earning $27 million ln foreign e~change a year. The project would . have a 25% rate of return and has the poten tial of being replicated to cover 1 million acres of potential paddyland in Lower Burma. • • 11 2 - e I Project Cost and Financing 3. The project would cost US$40-45 million of which ! US$22-25 million would be in foreign exchange. The decision meeting endorsed the issues paper recommendation for a credit· of US$25.0 million eq~ivalent for the proposed project. Paddy Procurement System 4. . The present procurement system under which tne farmer has to sell a portion of his paddy production to government at below market prices - was discussed. It was not ed that with the 50% increase of procurement prices in July,1974, .the farmer now has sufficient incentives. to pr9duce more. However, to ensure that this incentive doe8 not get eroded in the future, it was decided that a covenant in the draft credit agreement would require that the borrower periodically review the procurement price of paddy to ensure that the farmers would have adequate incentives. The borrower would also undertake to keep IDA informed about the res ults of such review. Project Cost Recovery 5. An analysis of the present procurement system reveals that the increase in Government's revenues resulting from increased procurement in the project area would cover several times .both the capital cost and O&M costs. The system is also progressive in the sense that larger farmers would contribute proportionately more to government's revenues than the smaller farmers. Even with this level of cost recovery, the residual income of farmers with average holdings will go up by about 70%, thereby giving sufficient incentives to the farmers for cooperating with the project • .... - · 'I e - 3 -- e I . In view of this it was decided that the following recommendations of the appraisal mission be accepted: (a) No additional collections be made from the farmers for project cost recovery, and gove~nroent would appropriate ., from its annual budget the f4ll O&M costs and capital re- ,I covery. I I (b) To make project farmers aware that they are paying for j, the project O&M and capital repayment, a separate assess- ruent could be made for each individual farmer, in pro- ·e portion to, as a part of, but not in addition to th~ir I compulsory paddy' procurement quotas. When and if the government decides one day to abolish the quota procure- .; ment system, the assessed cost recovery charges would then be collected directly. This should not be a problem, be- cause the , farm~r? would actually be paying much less than what they would be taxed under the paddy procurement system. 1 (c) Assurance be obtained that the Government would appropriate e adequate funds from its annual budget for the Irrigation ' . ' Dep~rtment t o cover satisfactory O&M costs and would devise a detailed plan for the realization of capital recovery from a designated reliable category of revenue. Rural Credit 6. A small proportion of the credit (~S$2 million, i.e., about 8%) would be used for providing credit to farmers, mainly for power tillers and 'I .. ... ·, e e e e I ; 4 tractors. The government of Burma is at present restructuring the I rural credit system under a new organization called Bu,=ma ~ricultural Bank (BAB). It was decided that the Staff should continue to maintain a dialogue with the government on this point. Also, at · the time of negotiations . ·, assurance will be sought that BAB would adopt agricultural credit terms and conditions acceptable tort, medium and long-term credits. The legislation is yet to be signed into law, new bank management staff is yet to be appointed, and detailed operation and management procedures have yet to be worked out. IDA would be involved in providing low lift pumps, power tillers and tractors under the project. These would be sold to farmer groups in the project area on medium term credit, but the earliest need for loan disbursement to farmers (for low-lift pumps) would not arise until the fall of 1977. Assurance should be sought that BAB liOuld adopt agricultural credit terms and conditions acceptable to IDA.

Since then the study has been modified to include an introductory period for writing a Review Paper and from your letter it looks as though the visit to the United States and Latin America would take ten days, not including travelling to and from this country. With our present knowledge we can probably reduce the amount of time spent on scanning literature, but the total number of days required will certainly not be much less than the original estimat"e. In terms of man days, I think we should allow something in the region of 130 which at t200 per day brings the total to t26,000. I shall be most grateful for your comments.

This information is needed both for identifying the factors common to each group 'Which appear to explain best why its members are in one bracket rather than another, and also for defining the scope of the redistrlbutional measuresand appraioing their economic, social and poli ti.cal effects. In addition to obtaining more &ta on the true pict'\119 of income distribution, we need to investigate in greater depth and breadth the underlying causes and their relative importance. Also j we bold the 'View th.at there has been no systenatic appraisal in Chila of the efi.'ects of the various economic policy measuros :on with respect to income distribution; as a result, there have been no innovative policies designed to tackle more effectively the causes of the inequalities between and within the different soci.oecononi.e groups. Lastly, it is wortJ.1 noting that income distribution is a research subject offering large economies of scale, seeing that it overflas into a multitude of fields such as foreign trade, cnployment, technology, agrarian eoonony, etc. v'e would therefore do well to go beyond a bare description. rue is an indirect way of looking into other areas in greater depth. In the light of these comments, we no~ describe the research fields that the F.conomic Institute of the Univarsidad Cat6lica 'Wishes to oov r. - 5- I. Project 1. Eropiriccl ta The aim is to obtain th most dotailed inf'omation possible on th koy charact.eriatics of the distribution of pe ..,oru:il, family and actor inc in Chile. The existing data on income distribution in Chile are inadequat fr the standpoint of' reliability and be ause the arias are incomplete. 'l1 ero are no homogeneoas series suitable for mal'..ing a syst atic examination o.f inr. me d.istributi trends, and the surveys available aro relat.i e)y old. The most rec . t and extensive study is the one carried ut by ECIEL; its .first stage, covering tho structure of consumption, t finished. The second stage, rmich consists of analyzirig the data collected on income distribution, fs currently being prepared. 'l'hia study is based on a "multi-purpose survey11 made during one year (1968-1969) by the National Institute of Statistics {IN'E).

Berrie, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 1818 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20433, U.S.A. Dear Mr. Berrie, I refer to your discussion with Ted White regarding the price of fuel oil to Turkey in 1980 in terms of 1973 dollars. We believe that it is reasonable to assume that the Persian Gulf crude oil price in 1980 in terms of 1973 dollars will be of the order of $5. 00 per barrel. If you work on the hypothesis that the price of fuel oil in Turkey will be based on the price of crude oil at the Eastern Mediterranean, it is necessary to establish the freight differential between the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean. Again, taking the cost of a ship ordered today and current operating costs, we show in the attached table the freight advantage of the Eastern Mediterranean over the Persian Gulf on the basis of alternative shipping routes. We here believe that there is every reason to assume that by 1980 the Suez/Mediterranean (Sumed) pipeline will be in operation and set the price differential. On this basis the freight differential would be sot per barrel. If we add this freight differential and the freight from the Eastern Mediterranean to Turkey to the Persian Gulf crude oil price we arrive at a delivered cost of crude oil to Turkey of $5.66 (say $5.70) per barrel. It is our opinion that the price of high-sulphur fuel oil will continue to remain below the price of crude oil. At present the price of fuel oil in the Mediterranean area in domestic markets such as Italy is approximately 75% of the price of crude oil. If this differential is maintained, which we believe to be a reasonable hypothesis, the price of high- sulphur fuel oil in Turkey can be estimated at $4.25 per barrel. cont .....

J 23 July, 1973 ir. A. M. Mercer, Program anager Lilongwe Land Developnent Program P .o. Box 2.59 Lilongwe, V,ALAWI Dear Andrew, As Mrs. Lele is leaving the Bank very shortly w go on home leave, I am writing on her behalf as well as my own w express out- mutual concern regarding arrangements for the LLDP follow-up study. Both M.re. Lele and I put a great amount of time, thought and effort into preparing the follow•UP proI,X>sal for submission to the Bank's Research Comittee; and, since I left the Bank late in Mey, Mrs. Lele has expended much energy and time in explaining and pronx:,ting the proposal. at various stages of the review procedure. We ware both highly gra ti.i'ied when the Research Committee reached its conclusion to fund the study. As a result of our wrk to da.te, both on the review and the proposal for the follow-up study, there is now an enormous interest at the Bank in the work we have planned to include in the f'ull study, particularly in research on certain a.specte of the oredit program. Before the proposal was submitted, we were several times assured by Bob Reader that the data we require for the follow-up study were available in a useable form at LLDP and that they required only certain editing and preprocessing by someone who knows how they were collected before they could be analyzed. By way of illustration, I re.fer you to Para. 2(b) and 5(c) of Reader's mc100 of 5 June to Willem Brakel. 1 a copy of which I have enclosed. To a large degree, we based our propaaal u:pon such assurances and, further, to ensure that the data wul.d be hmdled properly we arranged for Reader to be at the Bank for three weeks 1n September to perfonn the preprocessing. Our concern st.ans from too fact t..."la t Reader has recentJ.y written to me {a copy of his letter is enclosed) stating that it would be 1ttotally of no value" to send data from the Farm !-1anagement Studies (FMS) to the Ban.le for analysis on the grounds that the da. ta have mt been edited and cannot be edited without reference t.o the original schedules, which--as original records-~ust remain at LLDP. Based on Reader's assurances, Mrs. Lele and I have heavily cormnitted ourselves to using the FMS data and are very disturbed by the possibility that they may not be available. Moreover, it is difficult for us to accept that data collected in 1969/70, 1970/71 and 1971/72 have not yet been edited in preparation for analysis. We should also like to use data from the 1972/73 Yield Study i.f they can possibly be made available, though here time is a more valid constraint. • Mr. A. M. Mercer 23 July, 1973 -2- I have i,aoi tten to Reader asking if there is any passible w;zy the FMS data can be utilized and have also solicited J1:m Scott• s opinion. Copies of these letters are enclosed for your information. Mrs. Lele and I should be most grateful if you could explore with J1:m Scott the question of our making meaningful use of these data and the passibility of getting the necessary- cards and supporting documents to the Bank by the first wee.le in September. As I mentioned to Jim., we may be able tn do a large part of the analysis of the 1972/73 yield data for him, thereby reducing somewhat the Evaluation Section's backlog of unanalyzed material. Mrs. Lele and I feel that we have been put in something of an awkward position regarding data. availability for the follow-up study, and we should certainly appreciate any- suggestions you might have as to how we might best resolve this matter. In }il:'s. Lele• s absence, I am handling the arrangements for the follow-up study, and I shall be at the above address through the third week in .August. I anticipate arriving in Lilongwe around the first week in October and shall look forward to seeing you then. Best regards. Yours sincerely, B. H. Kinsey Enclosures ( 4) cc: Mrs. Uma Lele, IBRD Ya-.

Washington, n.c. 20433 Dear Mr. Adler: Following discussions with Mrs. Lele last week on the Lilongwe follow-up study, I am w:ri ting to inform you of an unanticipated develop:nent in regard to the availability of data for the study. Both in discussion with Mrs. Lele and in his memo of 5 June to Mr. Brakel ( in response to your memo to Mr. Ray), Mr. Reader, former head of the LLDP Evaluation Unit, has put forth assurances to the effect that data at LLDP "have been stored for the express purpose of enabling the [Evaluation] Unit, or any authorized outside body, to conduct additional research should the need so arise." The implication in this statement is that the data. have been used once for research purp::,ses and are available for further research. In a letter to me dated June 26, however, Reader states that "it would be totally of no value" to send to the Bank certain data central to the purposes of the follow-up study, as the data have not yet been given the necessary preliminary processing which would permit meaningful analysis to be done. Reader suggests instead that the Bank send a team ID Malawi for two months to put the data. in a condition suitable for analysis. In short, claims have been ma.de, which are now disputed, as to the availability and utility of data. As the survey Reader refers to in his letter ID me has been repeated annual.ly since 1969/70 and as none of the data collected in the annual surveys appear to have been analyzed, much less prepared for ana'.cy'sis, this w:,ul.d seem to invalidate Reader's statement in Para. 2(b) of t..h.e Brakel memo that only one survey remains unanalyzed. This unexpected revelation puts the follow-up study in a very awkward rx,sition. I am attempting, however, to ascertain exactly what data are now available and can be made usable so as ID maximize the value of the follow-up study, and I shall keep you informed of furt,her developnents. For your information, I am enclosing copies of Reader's letter to me, my respanse, and of a letter to Mr. Mercer, Program Manager at Lilongwe, expressing my concern.

This note records the main points made to me by the financial i nstitutions (Morgan Guarantee, Manufacturer s Hanover Bank, First National City Bank) I visited in New York on the afternoon of July 24 and on July 25 . Use of IBRD Guarantee Authority 2. The market for medium to long term credit instruments between deve loping countries depends on the particular transaction and particular countries involved . A Bank guarantee on the paper could make the market much more like the short-term trade financing market in Bankers acceptances where what is important for the market - ability of the instrument is the presence of a prime signature . J. However, the general feeling was that the capital goods exporting countries which would be affected by the Israeli proposal are the more creditworthy developing countries which can borrow as much as they want directly in the mar ket and certainly against any expected export proceeds . In present conditions the market is extremely competitive and a margin of 2% over the cost of funds would be considered a very good margin even for an LDC borrower . The effect of an IBRD guarantee might be to reduce the margin by say 1% ( to which would have to be added any guarantee charges) .Y 4. If the Bank were to guarantee export credit paper it would be important to keep the instrument simple . Multiple guarantees beyond say the guarantee of the Central Bank of the importing country and IBRD itself could impede marketability . There was a general feel- ing that a guarantee by a Regional Development Bank and the exporting country would be mmecessar-J . It would also be important that the coverage of IBRD's guarantee be very clear, preferably covering both poll tic al and commercial risks. A partial guarantee , s ay to cover only political risks, would invite legal questioning, and a discounting Bank would have to look beyond the IBRD guarantee in order to as sess the c omm.ercial risks. Both factors would weaken the effect of the guarantee. 1/ Manufacturers Hanover Bank pointed out that there would be a very heavy administrative burden in operating a guarantee scheme . Quite apart from project appraisal and country creditworthiness analysis there would be the whole question of the class of goods being financed and the terms being offered which in practice involved a very considerable burden . This would be an important consideration if a guarantee fee we re related to administrative costs. TO: Files - 2 - July 27, 1973 5. Of the institutions I talked to, Morgan Guarantee was the most positive about the usefulness of the guarantee. First National City Bank was sympathetic and Manufacturers Hanover Bank was very skeptical. Both of these latter two institutions thought that under current market conditions where developing countries have direct, access to the market under very competitive conditions, the Bank would have to consider carefully whether direct lending to facilitate exports would not be more useful than using the guarantee authority. 6. Neither Morgan Guarantee nor First National City Bank seemed to think that guaranteed obligations of the Bank would have any side effects on the Bank I s direct obligations. On the other hand, Manufacturers Hanover thought that there definitely could be an adverse impact unless the Bank, possibly acting through IFC, took steps to ensure orderlY marketing of the guaranteed instruments, supporting the market if necessary. 7. It was clear from my conversations that these institutions are very much influenced by the current situation of abundant global liquidity. A tight Euro-market could both affect the access of develop- ing countries to the market and increase the cost margin between prime borrowers (say Exxon) and developing countries. The effectiveness of the Bank's guarantee would be correspondinely much greater both in reducing costs and improving the availability of finance. All of the institutions assumed that they would be using Euro funds for these credits. IFC Consortium 8. I sounded out how these institutions reacted to the idea of an IFC organized consortium of Banks. Morgan Guarantee felt IFC parti- cipation could be useful in providing a multilateral umbrella for private investors. However, both Manufacturers Hanover Bank and the First National City Bank reacted negatively to the idea. They felt that the IFC would not provide an umbrella since sophisticated private institutions would be relying on their own judgements about the creditwort.hiness of a country and some countries for example, Chile, seemed keener to preserve their standing vis-a-vis private creditors thanthey were against official. In general, there was much less interest in the IFC scheme than in the idea of the Bank using its guarantee power since they did not see what improvement IFC could possibly bring to the market. cc: Messrs.

Reader Golds land '..lenvoe Cardiff, UiHTBD KINGDCM Dear r-:r. Reader : Thank you very much for your letter of June 26, which has been forwarded to ma frcm Washington. On behalf of both .Mrs. Lele and myself, I should also like to thank you for your assistance while you -ware in Lilongwe in June. It will be a great help to have the Sociological Survey and the 1971/72 Garden and Yield Surveys duplicated and shipped to the &i.nk .well in advance of beginning the actual follow-up study. In this regard, could you please supply me with the name and address of the individual at ?ortl~nd Cement Company whom I should contact if correspondence is needed in regard to shipping arrangements or billing? Hopefully the 1972/73 Yield Surveys will have been keypunched and edited by the end of August so that they can be sent to the Bank at that tL~e. I understand that Jim Scott has leased a keypunch and verifier from ICL for use at LLD?, and this equipment should greatly facilitate the Evaluation Unit's data processing activities. I shall be writing to ~:r. Scott in the near future to ascertain the status of the 1972/73 survey. I am ~ost concerned by your statement that it would be of absolutely no value to send the Farm Management Survey (FMS) cards to Washington. As I believe you have seen the proposal for the Lilongwe follow-up study, you will be . aware that the principal areas of concern are three: (1) credit distrioution patterns and performance, (2) yield changes and extension i :npact and (3) implications of income changes for consumption, savings and investment. V:e are counting very heavily on the ~HS to supply information in all three of these nreas. I have re-examined the Fi"l.S forms and very much a ?preciate the complexity involved ~nd your concern with carrying out preliminary analysis checks. !-1uch of the complexity, however, appears to stem from the recording, day-by-day and month-by-month, of labor inputs and oper ations. ~'bile it is extremely valuable, we are not really inter- ested in this aspect of the data and, by my calculations, perhaps less than one-third of the data in the i!"iS are directly pertinent to our objectives. These consider~tions lead me to several questions: (1) ~ow difficult would it bet~ extract only the relevant data from the FtlS and have these cards duplicated and shipped? 1''. r. R. A. ncador - 2- July 19, 1973 ( 2 ) Is it not f easi lJle to design an editing procram for the !iYiS (to oe run in '\-.':. shington) that would be co. paole of rejecting cards ...- ith obvious keypunch or record.:.ng errors or with values outside the range of plausibility? (3) If (2) were done, based upon your experience with data fran LLDP, what sort of error margin could be expected and what margin of error would you consider tolerable? I (4) Failing (2), what are the prospects for extracting, editing by hand, .9.Ild using a reliable sub-sample from the .FMS? l '\ (5) Have none of the data fran the 1969/70 or 1970/71 Ft'.S been I edited or partially analyzed? (6) Finally, is it possible to mesh data from the Sociological Survey with those from the FMS for any year? I should greatly appreciate any help you might be able to give me with these queries. As Mrs. Lele has advised you, we should like to use your time in Washington principally to assist in editing data, preliminary processing and in setting up the design for the analysis. It is essential, therefore, that we h:1ve all the data at the Bank before you arrive, if this is at all possible. I shall join you at the lhnk on September 10 and would personally welcome your assistance in planning a small-~cale field survey to obtain ce~tain primary data on the credit program. After all data have bean organized for analysis and the research assistant briefed on the work to be done, I plan to leave for Lilongwe about the first of October. P.rs. Lele is shortly· departing the Bank for home leave and has asked me to request that you direct correspondence related to arrangements for the LLDP follow-up study to me at the address on this letterhead. I shall be at this address through the third week in August. I shall look forward to hearing from you. cc i ti.rs. Lele, IBRD P.r. Andrew M. Mercer, Lilong,.,e ~~. P. J.

Warford Costa Rica Rur 1 Telecommunications Research Study The objective of this study will be to develop a methodology to evaluate the merits of investments in telecommunications facilities in rural areas. The Costa Rican eleotricity and telephone authoriti s ([CE) are apparent1-y anxious for asaist.ance in this area, since they are now about u, un:lertake a large rural telecommunications investment program. Analysis clearly involves two aspects: a study of coats ani of benefites. Mr. Sohkolniok will deal primarily with the cost eide, aided by ICE, ar.rl making information available, as necessary, to members of the Institute of Economic Studies of the University of Costa Rica, who are expected to work on the analysis of project benefits. This part of the study is to be financed out or Research Committee funis ( 22,000 available for FY '74), in addition to which ICE have promised to provide certain assistance in the form of technical advice a.ni local transport. We should aim at completion of the study in about one year. The next step will be a visit to Costa Rica in early August by Messre. Schkolniok ani Littlech11.d (consultant) and myself. Based upon prior discussion between Mr. Schkolnick a.Di the University, we have already requested that the latter submit a research proposal to us. So far, an:i about two months after the agreed submission date, non has been received. In view- of the .fact that we w-111 be unable to maintain close supervision of the research project (as we do in the case or the El Salvador Village Electrification study), the success of th project will deperrl heavily upon the university faculty members involved. Consequently, we w-111 not approve the project unless ar:d until they demonstrate their competence and interest by submitting - of their own accord, but in the light of our advice - a satisfactory proposal. Discussions during the proposed mission w-111 therefore be aimed at giving them a broad idea of the kim of problems which face us 1n evaluating the benefits of telecommunications investments, summarising for them our thinking on the subject, ar:d then leaving it to th to produce a detailed proposal. In the light of our aesesmnent of their general capabilit.ies, we will then decide whether or not to pursue the research effort with them. . ... r • I • .I • I •• Ju:cy, 17, 1973 fl •• - ,· - • • .. r ~ . ....

Dr. Pablo Latapi .. Centro de Estudios CUliacan 108, Piso Mexico D.F. Mexico Dear Dr. Latapi: I am writing to you in connection with the research project on the financing of education in Latin America carried out by the Education Department (Central Projects Staff) of the World Banlt. As I told you during our casual and sometimes unplanned meetings in Mexico, Lima or elsewhere, this research program consists mainly of a set of country case-studies, each of them concerned with one particular topic in the field of education finance. One of these topics has to do with privately-financed education. It includes such questions as: To what extent can private education be considered as an alternative to public education in a context of shortage of public funds? What is the performance of the private education sector in terms ot costs and efficiency? Do private school.a have any special impact on students' attitudes a.nd occupational aspirations? etc. This listing of questions is clearly not exhaustive; it is here mainly tor illustrative purposes. I believe that Mexico would be a suitable country to carry out a study on private education provided ~hat it is possible to re- duce the soope of the study to manageable dimensions by selecting one particular level of education, tor instance, secondary education - in one particular area., tor instance, in big cities. This is not only a question of technical feasibility but also of budget. Because it is hard to carry out such a study while being based in Washington without a local counterpart, I want to enquire about the possibility of involving either you or the Centro in a otudy which, after all, deals with topics closely linked with the objectives of the Centro. I am, of course, well aware of the studies Dr. Pablo Latapi - 2 - carried out in the past on these topics by the Centro and, particularl.y, ot the works by Ulloa and Munoz on the "escuelas particul&res" of the Federal District of Mexico. To sum up, I would like to know whether the ide& of a Joint Bank/Centro de Estudios Educativos project in the area of private education appeals to you. In case of agreement, the Education Department of the Bank would be willing to finance a certain a.mount of loca.l consultants' work at the Centro. I look :forward to your reactions to these proposals a.nd hope that some form of close cooperation thus be established between us.

Greene Senior Vice President Manufacturers· Hanover Bank 350 Park Avenue New York, New York Dear Jim: I am writing because of an associate of mine, Mr. Frank Vibert, who is preparing a study for Mr. McNamara on an export credit guar~ntee facility which has been suggested by the Governor of the Bank of Israel to the World Bank. Mr. Vibert is interested in exploring with some financial people the question of whether export credit paper from developing countries, possibly guaranteed by the \.Jorld Bank, would have market acceptabi 1 ity and under what conditions. Frank will be visiting New York on July 24 and 25. It seemed to me that it woul _ d be very interesting for him to talk to you or whoever you designate. Could you call him (477-4545) or me (477-4546) to let us know when on these two days you might receive him. Best regards, ~1 _.,,.-/ _,,..,,.s • 1ncere y yours, /'/ ~ ' \..'. ' ~ ') O"l. ·V1~ I \ L.

Dear Mr. McNamara, I write to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your letter of April 27, 1973 concerning the proposed Export Credit Guarantee Facility for Trade between Developing Countries. I read with great interest the enclosed proposal and the preliminary review of the broadlines of the proposed scheme conducted by your staff. My first reaction is that the proposal is sound in principle and, therefore, deserves to be studied in greater detail. Although only very few of our member countries are likely to benefitfrom such a scheme in the initial stage, we in the African Developm ent Bank believe that the proposed facility will, in the long-t erm at lea s t, b e lJeu · ficial to our members.

Messenger checked with Rao" Goodman and told me there would be no problem in carrying out the kind of research we envisaged in Taiwan. All aspects of the research - cantact with local o.tticiala and institutions, possible hiring o.t coneultanta 1n the field, .tollov-up missions to discuaa findings - seamed 1n no wq to disturb current Bank policy via-a-via Taiwan. mum would o.t course keep the Regional Office continually informed and conault with it when necessary on arrangments including preparation o.t tams o.t reference. .... .

A few months ago you attended a meeting of the Development j I I Economics Department. Out of this exchange there emerged an idea which should be pursued - namely the need to have potential users of our research contribute to the planning of it. ubsequently, I Colin Bruce sent me a note making some suggestions and enc losing ' a memorandum from Bob Picciotto. We would lie very much to sus- tain thi contact with you and your staff . ', 1 2. It is not too early for us to begin to plan the outlines of our work program for FY75. In drawing up this program, we would like very much to obtain the advice of your Division Chiefs, C.Bruce II I • and your. elf. In the first place, we would like to make sure that you are fully aware of the research that we are engaged on currently . To do this, we can arrange to meet with you, if you consider it appro priate, or we can send you written accounts of the work progr ams of the five divisions in our Department. The next step would then be for you and your colleagues to list subjects on which research should be und rtaken in FY75 and to make assessment of relative priorities among these topics . (In other words for a l l of you to do what Bob • Picciotto attempted in his memo dated May 4, 1973 to Colin Bruce). We can then meet again to discuss the results of tlis exercise . 3. You may wish to invite Jean Baneth to join this planning enterprise . He is already familiar with some of our present work by virtue of his participation in the Research Conunittee . 4.

You will remain in Costa Rica tor approximately one week, re- turning to Washington am spen:iing a further week at the Bank to write a report on your mission. The object of the mission will be to assist in the foI'JDlllation of a research project designed to evaluate the impact of the rural telecom- municat:1.oru, program 1n Costa Rica, with a view to providing guidance for its 1'uture developnent. The research pt-oject will be carried out primarily by members of the Economics Institute of the University of Costa Rica. You will advise them on ways in which the nature of the deman:i for rural telephones may be analyzed, with emphasis on the survey of present telephone usage and the private and external benefits thereby derived, and the lessons this affords for investment planning in the sector. .Ad'Wice on the deter- mination of costs of rural telecommunicationa 1e not 1n your terms of reference. A particular question, on which the Costa Ricans will undoubtedly require guidance., concerns the importance of "system externalities." You should explain to them the nature of this concept, and try to ascertain whether econometric or other tests of the ma.gnitw.e of these effects are juet1.fied or feasible for rural telecommunications. You will agree with the Costa Ricans on a broad outline of the research strategy to be followed, am, upon your return to Washington, will write a report that details your fimings; this will be sent to Costa Rica for oonfinnation • . .

J.M.G. van Damme Manager WHO International Reference Centre for Community Water Supply Parkweg 13, the Hawi,e Netherlands Dear Hans: Thank you very much for your letter of July 4, enclosing your fourth annual report. I look forward to receiving the other publications. I apologize for the delay in serrling the material I had promised you in Lausanne, am now enclose two items that may be of interest to you. The first is a bibliography produced as part of a study we commissioned on the problems of evaluating and operating village water supplies. The full report is presently being reviewed within the Bank, and may be re- leased at some future date. The second item, which is in draft form, is the smmnary chapter of a study on the impact of water/sewerage investments on property values. The object of this research was to see i f the increase in property values following such investments could possibly be used as a routine method of benefit measurement in project appraisal. I think we have to conclude that in view of the tremerrlous statistical problems encountered, this is not feasible, although a number of lessons afforded by the study may assist project evaluation in some circumstances. I will send you a copy of the full report as soon as it is completed, which should be within a couple of weeks. To return to the subject of health benefits, Dick Frankel presented his research proposal to us a couple of weeks ago, and we are at present considering the possibility of financing part of his study in North East Thailarrl. I will keep you informed of progress in this area, and would be grateful i f you could also let us know if you become aware of the com- mencement of impact studies by anyone else. With best wishes.

Its goal can be describ d as follows: some Bank's projects develop export production for one C011111K)dity (cocoa) inside a given country. Consequently, world mar et equilibrium might be modified and affect th other producers. Moreover, from the World Bank's point or vi:ev, comparative advantages should be appraised between developing production among competing producere. This comparison should include others existing and/or potential opportunities to export (coffee, wood, petroleum, etc.). The research project chooses tea and cocoa for a practical teat case to measure these comparatiw advantage. For cocoa, comparison could be limited to lour Uri.can countries a Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Co at, arid Cameroon. Some preliminary results are supposed to be available at the end of 1973. 4. The st~ could use three criteri of comparison -- Net oial Profitability (NSP), Domeetic Resource Cost of Foreign Exchange Earned or Saved, and Social rginal Productivity of Capital. Professor S.R . Pearson acgued that these three criteria would give the same ranld.ng order and proposed to use NSP. ,. NSP can be de.fined as the net &ain (or lo a) aasoc1at4d with a ginn economic activity (cocoa) when all cotnDW:>dity outputs produced and material inputB aDd factors of production ~loyed are evaluated at their social opportunity costs (through the use of ahadities will be weighted by the shadow price of for ign exchang in each country. This ratio all.6wa to rank countries from the IIK)re to the less dependent on ooooa production. Data r quirements are obvious and aost of the discussions con- centrated on practical poas1bilities for shadow price estimates. The case of linear progra.mmi.ng models vas rejected but with a possibility of com- pari.aon in the caae or the Ivoxy Coast betwen LP model results and. L::rnlr_..-.:_j separated evaluationa. The latter method ia in proeesa for some African ~rllLJ... ool.Ultries (Nigeria). R.E. Rove stated how unreal this project looked to him. Besidel!I a total lack of information, cocoa sector escaped ll)l!lt:l.y to Bank's intenentions. k 11!1 present policy ia to improve aprage pro- duotiv11:¥ by demonstrative effect than to increase·output. Others argued against the feasibility tor practical choic ·ror cocoa projects between four countries. ... ~ t , 1 • '"I l ,n - _ . ,. T _ - - .. - RVaurs:mw cc: Messrs.

Warford Research Project: Impact of Water Supply and Sewerage Projects on Property Values You may recall that this research project was initiated in order to test whether or not the impact of water ani sewerage projects on property values could be used routinely as a means of bane.fit measurement in project appraisals. The conclusion, based upon the tremendous data problems en- countered in carrying out case studies in Nairobi arrl Kuala Lumpur, must be that it cannot. Very briefly, the problem in Nairobi turned out to be that it was impossible to disentangle the effects of water and sewerage investments from other changes (in this case rezoning), while in Kuala Lumpur, there were simply not enough observations of sales in appropriate areas to place any eonfidence in the statistical results. Attached is Chapter I of the consultant's report, which swmnarizes the rationale for the study, the empirical method, an:i statistical results. In view of the conclusion as to the tactical usefulness of the approach for project appraisal, the chapters . tailing various aspects of the study are somewhat academic and will only e circulated at this time upon request. It is unf:ortunate that we have been unable to substantiate statis- tically the intuitively sensible view that environmental improvements ten:i to increase property values, :for the approach used was probably the only :feasible method of in:iireetly estimating the economic benefits of urban water an:i sewerage projects. Sinee it is unlikely that we will find any cities in the developing world with better data than we founi in Nairobi and Kuala Lwnpur, I think we can now assume quite safely that the only wa7 1n which water engineers can demonstrate to budgetary authorities the economic worth of in7estmenta in the sector is to make sure that consumers an:! potential consumers are given the opportunity to convey this message directly, through the prices charged for connections an:i actual water use. Pricing, rather than cost-benefit analysis, should therefore continue to be our main line of attack in the improvement of investment decisions in the sector. ..- - I ,.

Assuming you have a number of Cost/benefit studies in Washington I propose that if I can have access to these in Washington I can sit down there for a couple of days and complete this. This I suggest would in any case be the best way to do this Section as this would be a controversial, as well as lengthy, Section and it would enable me to agree with you which are the angles to have most effort allocated to them. Re Section F, I would like to leave this over for the moment because , as I say, replies have been so poor - but are still trickling in - that there is really no point in doing this Section on the available material. I occurs to me that a "gentle hint" from you to the non- reply countries (if you feel able to do this) might hurry some of them up and we could then produce this as a "supplement" to the main Study?

(The Capacity - -:a••• '-"""' .- . - I - . ., - -\ ~ • ..,.. Ill - ~ .. Utilisation Study on Malaysia had already been re tued to the Committee and was acted upon favorably at this meeting).

I checked with Anandarup Ray about whether there would be a .. -..... . meeting of the Committee before September. There probably will, in late July or during the first week of Augu.at. In the likely event there is a ··.- meeting at that time, Urban and Regional Subqstem.a in Malaysia would have high priority. A redraft of the proposal could first be cleared inf'onnally with Moeen Qureshi toward the end of July to (hope.tully) avoid ... another formal review process. With his approval it could then be sent direoUy to the Committee for action at the August meeting. ~ .. .- - -l .- ~ ... L - -~ ,...= - ... -- ... .,.... - .. L t., .a-- Li.,.

He expects a virtually complete draft to be mailed by next weekend, July 7-8, in addition to those sections already received in rough draft . 3. I told Mr . Curtis that he should not contemplate a visit to Washington until at least one clear week after we have received the almost-complete draft . 4. Apparently, the study is progressing fairly well on the whole. However, as we might have expected, the question elf costs and benefits of alternative aviation policies is proving the most complex and difficult.
