Office of the Director-General Operations Evaluation April 14, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND THE PRESIDENT Poland: Country Assistance Review Attached is the report Poland: Country Assistance Review prepared by the Operations Evaluation Department (OED). This Country Assistance Review (CAR) is the fifth of the new type of country- focused studies that, for each country concerned, evaluate (i) the relevance of the Bank’s overall country assistance strategy and (ii) the efficacy of Bank assistance. This CAR also evaluates the cost- effectiveness of the Bank’s lending instruments. The objectives are to establish accountability, derive lessons of experience and provide recommendations for action. The Poland CAR evaluates Bank assistance from 1986 (when Poland rejoined the World Bank) until today. Following several years of studies and project preparation, Bank lending started in 1990, after a new government had launched a decisive, market-oriented economic transformation program (ETP), and reached agreement with the IMF on an Extended Fund Facility. Since that time the Bank has maintained a permanent presence in Poland and has supported decisively the efforts of successive Polish governments to move the country rapidly towards a market-oriented, private-sector driven economy increasingly integrated with the rest of the world. Poland’s transition performance has been excellent both in comparison with other transition economies and in its own right. Poland has experienced the highest economic growth rate in 1990-95, and its private sector activity now accounts for two thirds of GDP. Its currency is stable and its international creditworthiness has been restored. Enterprise restructuring and privatization, financial sector and environmental issues are being addressed. In 1995 Poland became a member of the OECD, and its prospects for early accession into the European Union are good. EBRD has ranked Poland among the top performers, particularly in the areas of small-scale privatization, trade, and foreign exchange reforms. On the other hand unemployment and poverty remain high. There is a need to accelerate the privatization of unprofitable state enterprises such as heavy industry (coal, steel, petrochemicals, oil and gas) and the state-owned commercial banks. The losses of some specialized banks (housing, food economy) and the fiscal burden of a costly social safety net make it difficult to strengthen public finances. Institutionally, the legal and regulatory frameworks, while much improved, still fall short of what Poland needs to take full advantage of its potential to attract private investment. The study finds that Bank support was most valuable in assisting Poland achieve progress in nearly all of these areas. As an advisor, the basic reform strategy was always that of the Polish authorities, but the Bank played a constructive role through an intensive policy dialogue throughout the years, based on responsive Economic and Sector Work, active project preparation, and on Bank- sponsored seminars and other dissemination activities, including those carried out by the Economic 2 Development Institute. The Bank’s role as a development agency was also most valuable, although its efficacy was lessened sometimes by poor quality at entry of projects (such as in the case of projects based on credit lines). Implementation problems have also plagued many operations. Some were due to over-ambitious project design, and complex institutional arrangements. Others were the result of the many government changes experienced by Poland throughout the period. Finally, cumbersome Bank procedures, communication problems and lack of flexible lending instruments to compete with those offered by other lenders contributed to the slow pace of implementation. The cost-effectiveness of the Bank’s assistance program was low when compared to other countries in the ECA Region and elsewhere in the Bank. In spite of these shortcomings, the Bank’s assistance was particularly valuable in many areas, notably the following: helping Poland secure exceptional levels of debt relief, upgrading the country’s infrastructure in power, transport and telecommunications, strengthening and modernizing the commercial banks (in close cooperation with IFC), facilitating the conciliation process of many state- owned enterprises with their creditors, and more generally, strengthening institutions in most sectors of the economy. On the other hand, it has taken longer than originally expected to achieve progress in some of the social sectors and in agriculture. During preparation of this study OED staff have exchanged views with the ECA Region, and an earlier version of the CAR (dated January 27 1997) has been taken into account in preparation of the CAS dated April 14 1997. The study recommends that future Bank assistance to Poland should emphasize selectivity. Since the country has less need for transfer of resources, the focus should be policy formulation, institution building and provision of nonlending services. Lending could still be directed towards infrastructure, agriculture and social services, provided that there is a full unequivocal ministerial commitment to the reforms pursued by the loans, and that maximum use is made of cofinancing opportunities, with private lenders and with other IFIs.

  • Changes in the Polish Agriculture in the Light of the Cap Implementation
    MAREK WIGIER 10.5604/00441600.1151760 Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute Warsaw CHANGES IN THE POLISH AGRICULTURE IN THE LIGHT OF THE CAP IMPLEMENTATION Abstract Agricultural policy in Poland supports the functioning of numerous types of agricultural models, including the following models: traditional, industrial, environmental, induced development and sustainable growth. The CAP objectives and mechanisms, as well as individual character- istics of the Polish agriculture indicate that in the long run the devel- opment pattern should be based on a dual model. Certain farms, while maintaining the basic requirements of environmental protection, should implement production methods ensuring high economic viability (indus- trial agriculture); other farms should base their development on more eco-friendly methods, which enable the use of environmental, social and cultural assets at hand (sustainable agriculture). This paper defines the most important development stages of global agriculture, indicates the connection between the necessity of state’s intervention policy and sustainable development, presents selected characteristics of the Polish agriculture with an analysis of the most important effects of implementing the CAP and illustrates the conclusions concerning the shape of the future long-term agricultural policy in Poland. Model of development of world agriculture Over the centuries, the most important task of agriculture was the production of food. This goal marked the development strategies of the whole food economy, which evolved from a peasant to farm-enterprise model (Fig. 1). Agriculture was the primary source of income and the most important work place in the rural areas. Industrialisation, mechanisation of production and the market mechanism trans- formed this situation.

In a globalised, market-driven world, it remains at the same time a myth and a marginal phenomenon. Empirically, subsistence agriculture for a long time seemed to be restricted to developing countries, with only a few cases reported in Western Europe (CAILLAVET and NICHELE 1999; THIEDE 1994). Governmental support offered to subsistence agriculture was mainly done through agricultural development policies, the main objective being to have subsistence farmers participate in markets.

  • The Public Library Service Provision to the Polish Community Living in Sheffield
    The Public Library Service Provision to the Polish Community Living in Sheffield A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by Anna Listwon September 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation intends to examine the public library service provision to the Polish community in Sheffield. Its main aim is to establish the library needs of the newly arrived Polish people and examine their opinion of the service provision. It also considers the needs and views of the established elderly Polish community on the library services and the opinions of library personnel with regard to their services and awareness of the newly arrived Polish people. The topics covered in the interviews and questionnaire were based on the subjects found in the literature relative to the subject, which has so far made sparse references to the Polish communities living in Great Britain. This study is qualitative and therefore the following methods were implemented: in-depth interviews with librarians and elderly Poles, and questionnaires with open-ended questions distributed to the young Poles in order to develop thorough understanding of the issues in question. The data gathered indicated that the Polish collection and Polish materials are of great significance to the Polish community. The Poles would like to be involved in the selection process and have more Polish books in their collection. The librarians had little knowledge of the scope of the demand for Polish books but were open to gaining more knowledge of the newly arrived Polish people. As a result of this research it is concluded that materials in the Polish language and having books in Polish by Polish authors are essential for the Polish community.

  • Treasures of Culinary Heritage” in Upper Silesia As Described in the Most Recent Cookbooks
    Teresa Smolińska Chair of Culture and Folklore Studies Faculty of Philology University of Opole Researchers of Culture Confronted with the “Treasures of Culinary Heritage” in Upper Silesia as Described in the Most Recent Cookbooks Abstract: Considering that in the last few years culinary matters have become a fashionable topic, the author is making a preliminary attempt at assessing many myths and authoritative opinions related to it. With respect to this aim, she has reviewed utilitarian literature, to which culinary handbooks certainly belong (“Con� cerning the studies of comestibles in culture”). In this context, she has singled out cookery books pertaining to only one region, Upper Silesia. This region has a complicated history, being an ethnic borderland, where after the 2nd World War, the local population of Silesians ��ac���������������������uired new neighbours����������������������� repatriates from the ����ast� ern Borderlands annexed by the Soviet Union, settlers from central and southern Poland, as well as former emigrants coming back from the West (“‘The treasures of culinary heritage’ in cookery books from Upper Silesia”). The author discusses several Silesian cookery books which focus only on the specificity of traditional Silesian cuisine, the Silesians’ curious conservatism and attachment to their regional tastes and culinary customs, their preference for some products and dislike of other ones. From the well�provided shelf of Silesian cookery books, she has singled out two recently published, unusual culinary handbooks by the Rev. Father Prof. Andrzej Hanich (Opolszczyzna w wielu smakach. Skarby dziedzictwa kulinarnego. 2200 wypróbowanych i polecanych przepisów na przysmaki kuchni domowej, Opole 2012; Smaki polskie i opolskie. Skarby dziedzictwa kulinarnego.

Abstract This study was an attempt to forecast changes which are likely to take place in Polish agriculture in the future. Taking into consideration expected macroeconomic, social, cultural, demographic trends, etc., it was determined which farming systems would be dominant, new functions to be served by agriculture were analysed, probable ways of farm evolution were indicated (polarization and dual development), while issues of the volume of production in agriculture and the number of farms in Poland up to the year 2030 were discussed. Key words: agriculture in Poland, transformations in agriculture, scenarios for development of agriculture, sustainable agriculture. 1. Introduction The issue of the future of rural areas and agriculture in Poland is important not only to farmers but also to entire society, whose future largely depends and will depend on food economy.

  • Dorota Świtała-Trybek Tasty Events. on Culinary Events in the Silesian
    Dorota Świtała-Trybek Chair of Culture and Folklore Studies Faculty of Philology University of Opole Tasty Events. On Culinary Events in the Silesian Voivodeship Abstract: The topic of reflection undertaken herein are public events having an evident culinary character. In the first part of her essay, the author proposes a typology of culinary events, with special focus on those events which appear in the public space the most often. Their number and considerable complexity are associated with the target participant group, the current patterns of consumption, gastronomic styles, and finally with functions which have been ascribed to those events. In the second part, she discusses selected culinary events organised in the Silesian voivodeship which have characteristic dishes (e.g. wodzionka, moc- zka, kołocz) associated with the local cuisine as their Leitmotif. These events are usually in the form of open-air festivals with contests for the best-prepared dish as their regular feature. Key words: culinary events, Silesia, tradition, regional cuisine. “The pleasure of eating is the actual and direct sensation of satisfying a need. The pleasures of the table are a reflective sensation, which is born from the various circumstances of place, time, things and people who make up the surroundings of the meal” [Brillat-Savarin 2009: 189–190]. This passage from The Physiology of Taste, written almost two centuries ago, express the essence of culinary sensations, at the same time accen- tuating the fundamental and unchangeable truth: food and pleasure are inseparable. The range of circumstances in which food may be enjoyed is nowadays broader than ever and it constantly expands, determining new forms of activity and spending free time, shaping new lifestyles.
