and Extractives Global Practice, reflecting the emphasis on knowledge management and solu-

tions-oriented knowledge that is emerging from the ongoing change process within the Bank

Group.

Each

relevant to front-line practitioners.

Live Wires

take a variety of forms:

Topic briefs

Case studies

highlight lessons from experiences in implementation

Global trends

provide analytical overviews of key energy and extractives data

Bank views

Private eyes

Each

Live Wire

Energy and Extractives Global Practice takes stock of all notes that appeared, reviewing their

quality and identifying priority areas to be covered in the following year’s pipeline.
