Despite the obvious importance of the role of a vibrant rural non-farm economy , and in particular, a vibrant non-farm services sector to address the challenges of poverty, food security, agricultural growth and rural development, this sector has received inadequate attention in the debate in Pakistan. Based on a review of literature and data from two large surveys – the Rural Investment Climate Survey of Pakistan 2005 and the Surveys of Domestic Commerce 2007 – this paper attempts to analyze the factors underlying the low level of development of the rural non farm economy and the potential role it can play in Pakistan’s economic development..

Launch of Growth and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa BookUNU-WIDER
On 22 April 2016 UNU-WIDER visits the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency to launch the new open access book Growth and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Resulting from UNU-WIDER’s project on ’Reconciling Africa’s growth, poverty and inequality trends: growth and poverty’— the book provides a comprehensive re-examination of Africa’s growth, poverty and inequality trends. While the economic growth renaissance in sub-Saharan Africa is widely recognized, much less is known about progress in living conditions. This book comprehensively evaluates trends in living conditions in 16 major sub-Saharan African countries, corresponding to nearly 75% of the total population.

Determinants of Income Inequality Among Cooperative Farmers in Anambra Stateijtsrd
This study examines determinants of income inequality among cooperative farmers in Anambra State. The study, modeled variables like farmers efficiency, technology, market proximity, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services using descriptive and inferential statistics. The population of this study was made up of 298 members of selected cooperative societies in Anambra State and a sample of 171 was determined for the study using Taro Yamane formula. A structured questionnaire was administered to 171 respondents but only 115 responded to the questionnaire. The data collected using the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that apart from market proximity which was not significant, all other factors farmers' efficiency, technology, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services contributed significantly to the farmers' income. This study therefore recommends that The government should carry out a public enlightenment campaign on the potentials of agricultural cooperatives as sustainable approach for reducing income inequality through synergy and emphasis should be placed more on cooperative education as requirement for growth and development since most of the people in the target areas has low educational background. The agricultural cooperative subsector should be adequately financed to help improve the farmers' income and also reduce income inequality. Agricultural technology transfer through extension services should be encouraged to help create awareness and increase adoption of better ways farming so as to increase the farmers' income and reduce income inequality among others.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

9. Peru: Interventions to reduce regional inequality Comparison Transaction costs : Strong growth-effect at the national level Weak inland supply response means import competition outweighs export opportunities Regional inequality worsens Social transfers : Regional and rural-urban inequality declines Slows down national growth rate Taxes and slower growth reduce urban incomes Inland productivity : Positive growth effect at national level and in the Sierra , but weak regional spillover effects reduces coastal GDP. Increases the national growth rate while reducing regional inequality.

Uganda: On track to halve poverty by 2015 Uganda has performed well since the 1990s: Fast broad-based growth (esp. over recent years) National poverty rate has fallen (but slower declines in recent years) Source: WDI, 2007 Despite high population growth, GDP per capita has risen (US$310 in 2005)

Uganda’s north-south divide Rural and urban poverty rates have fallen, BUT northern poverty remains high and virtually unchanged Northern region Population share: 19.7% GDP share: 11% Poverty rate: 60.8% Share of poor: 38.5% Poverty headcount (%) Poverty is geographically concentrated: Southern region Population share: 80.3% GDP share: 89% Poverty rate: 23.8% Share of poor: 61.5% 1992/93 2005/06 National 55.7 31.1 Rural 59.7 34.3 Urban 27.8 13.8 North 72.2 60.8 South 51.7 23.8
13. Three strategies to address north/south divide 1. Kampala growth strategy Focus investments to encourage faster growth and agglomeration in capital city and attract northern migrants 2. Corridor growth strategy Invest in a north-south transport corridor and encourage faster growth in northern major urban centers 3.
