Editor's Notes
- enrich the quantitative analysis with further analysis of the political economy of investment to identify what types of governance frameworks create the right incentives for private investment e.g. in compare Vietnam and Indonesia
- We are keen to: use the Asia Foundation’s remarkable new data to explore quantitatively the link between sub-national governance and growth 2. extend the Economic Governance Index to Africa
- Hiliary Benn announced launch of the Climate Change and Development Centre at Sussex in his visit earlier this year Centre draws together people from across IDS and University of Sussex around 5 core areas: Low Carbon Growth, Intl Climate Policy, Poverty/Adaptation, Knowledge Sharing, Capacity Building. Development expertise on climate change problems (40 people working directly on CC) Work on research in partnership with Southern Civil Society and research organisation – currently work going on in India, China, Bang, Philippines, Malawi, El Salvador, Brazil, Niger, Indonesia, African KS Network for the CCAA programme Multi-track research – longer term empirical and shorter-term policy analysis New Bulletin Launched ‘Poverty in a Changing Climate’ – intl. development focus – key part of bulletin on SP (chapters from NGOs/DFID – see Tamsin chapter).
- Work funded by DFID – from SP and RNRAT teams Adaptive social protection – term coined by IDS researchers. Already presented to DFID, Swedish Commission on CC, to the DAC (OECD) Work initiated by linking “climate change and development centre” to the “centre for social protection” – only place in world where this sort of expertise is together in same research organization Important because countries will be responsible to spending their adaptation finance money. Follow-up planned with DFID staff in 10 days to decide next steps: International workshop, more dedicated country studies, increasing visibility of SP in climate change negotiations

- The following graphs show two district-level networks in which actors are linked to the range of both functional (‘water’, ‘health’) and normative (‘human rights’, ‘development’) tasks which they saw themselves engaged in (based on survey). this highlights points of task-overlap and convergence (or not) on priorities. image are very different from the formal/contractual division of tasks, suggesting lack of consensus over division of labour, the very identification of tasks and over priorities/goals. The tasks that actors self-identified with differed widely, as did the relative attention given to them. What drives this difference? Even UNHCR offices saw themselves as playing very different roles in different districts, even where these seemed ‘structurally’ similar. To pick an obvious example: in some district the organisations saw themselves involved in Human Rights issues, in others not at all.
