The Amazon extends for approximately 8.4 million square kilometers, across nine South American countries. Nearly two thirds of its land area is located in Brazil. Peru and Bolivia follow, with around 11 and eight percent shares of the Amazon land area, respectively.

As of December 2023, according to official Chinese announcements, in total *** countries (including China) had signed documents to join China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), around ten countries more than in January 2021. The Belt and Road Initiative, also known as One Belt One Road, is an infrastructural development strategy initiated by China in 2013.

It is estimated that more than 8 billion people live on Earth and the population is likely to hit more than 9 billion by 2050. Approximately 55 percent of Earth’s human population currently live in areas classified as urban. That number is expected to grow by 2050 to 68 percent, according to the United Nations (UN).The largest cities in the world include Tōkyō, Japan; New Delhi, India; Shanghai, China; México City, Mexico; and São Paulo, Brazil. Each of these cities classifies as a megacity, a city with more than 10 million people. The UN estimates the world will have 43 megacities by 2030.Most cities' populations are growing as people move in for greater economic, educational, and healthcare opportunities. But not all cities are expanding. Those cities whose populations are declining may be experiencing declining fertility rates (the number of births is lower than the number of deaths), shrinking economies, emigration, or have experienced a natural disaster that resulted in fatalities or forced people to leave the region.This Global Cities map layer contains data published in 2018 by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). It shows urban agglomerations. The UN DESA defines an urban agglomeration as a continuous area where population is classified at urban levels (by the country in which the city resides) regardless of what local government systems manage the area. Since not all places record data the same way, some populations may be calculated using the city population as defined by its boundary and the metropolitan area. If a reliable estimate for the urban agglomeration was unable to be determined, the population of the city or metropolitan area is used.Data Citation: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

Abstract

The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Sierra Leone or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Sierra Leone, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Sierra Leone. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Sierra Leone.

The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives: - Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Sierra Leone perceive the Bank; - Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Sierra Leone regarding: · Their views regarding the general environment in Sierra Leone; · Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Sierra Leone; · Overall impressions of the World Bank's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Sierra Leone; · Perceptions of the World Bank's future role in Sierra Leone. - Use data to help inform Sierra Leone team's strategy.

Research instrument

The Questionnaire consists of 8 Sections:

A. General Issues Facing Sierra Leone: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Sierra Leone is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, and which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Sierra Leone.

B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank's effectiveness in Sierra Leone, Bank staff preparedness to help Sierra Leone solve its development challenges, their agreement with various statements regarding the Bank's work, and the extent to which the Bank is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the sectoral areas on which it would be most productive for the Bank to focus its resources, the Bank's greatest values and weaknesses in its work, the most effective instruments in helping to reduce poverty in Sierra Leone, with which stakeholder groups the Bank should collaborate more, and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts.

C. World Bank Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the Bank's work helps achieve development results in Sierra Leone, the extent to which the Bank meets Sierra Leone's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the Bank's level of effectiveness across forty-two development areas, such as education, energy, agricultural development, job creation/employment, infrastructure, and others.

D. The World Bank's Knowledge: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge work/activities, the areas on which the Bank should focus its research efforts, and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the Bank's knowledge work/activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.

E. Working with the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the Bank, such as the World Bank's "Safeguard Policy" requirements being reasonable, the Bank imposing reasonable conditions on its lending, disbursing funds promptly, increasing Sierra Leone's institutional capacity, and providing effective implementation support. Respondents also were asked that to what extent they believed the Bank was adequately staffed in Sierra Leone.

F. The Future Role of the World Bank in Sierra Leone: Respondents were asked to rate how significant a role the Bank should play in Sierra Leone's development in the near future and to indicate what the Bank should do to make itself of greater value. They were also asked about the effectiveness of the donors in their work to see through development results on the ground and the effectiveness of the Bank in helping forge regional economic integration.

G. Communication and Information Sharing: Respondents were asked to indicate how they get information about economic and social development issues, how they prefer to receive information from the Bank, and their usage and evaluation of the Bank's websites. Respondents were asked about their awareness of the Bank's Access to Information policy, past information requests from the Bank, and their level of agreement that they use more data from the World Bank as a result of the Bank's Open Data policy. Respondents were also asked about their level of agreement that they know how to find information from the Bank and that the Bank is responsive to information requests.

H. Background Information: Respondents were asked to indicate their current position, specialization, whether they professionally collaborate with the World Bank, their exposure to the Bank in Sierra Leone, and their geographic location.
