MN RUral Broadband Coalition 2019 Recap and 2020 PLan
The Minnesota Rural Broadband Coalition organized in 2019 with 90 member organizations to advocate for broadband funding and policy in Minnesota. In 2019, the Coalition advocated for $70 million in funding for the Border-to-Border Broadband Grant Program and the continuation of the Governor's Broadband Task Force. As a result of these efforts, the legislature approved $40 million in funding over the 2020-2021 biennium. Looking ahead to 2020, the Coalition will continue advocating for ongoing broadband funding, policy changes to the grant program, and federal funding opportunities, while adapting to changes in staffing and partnerships.

The document outlines plans for a Complete Count Committee and goals to increase Jackson County's response rate from the 2010 Census.

Donor funding landscape bangladesh
Since Bangladesh’s independence back in the early 70s, the country has been evolving into an economic powerhouse. Bangladesh’s growth has accelerated over the last couple of decades, spearheaded by the apparel sector and augmented by remittance earnings, resulting in rising per capita income, which crossed the USD 2,200 mark in 2020.
From being dependent on donor funding for basic healthcare and nutrition to utilizing assistance in developing sustainable agricultural programs, Bangladesh’s Development Sector has evolved rapidly over the last 50 years. Donor funding has clearly played an instrumental role in the transformation of Bangladesh’s socio-economic landscape over the past five decades, lifting millions of poverty, empowering women and marginalized individuals, and facilitating access to basic education and healthcare facilities.
Check out how the donor funding landscape will evolve in light of Bangladesh’s shifting socioeconomic conditions and upcoming LDC status graduation. LightCastle Partners recently conducted a study to analyze the evolving landscape of donor funding in Bangladesh and the whitepaper highlights the key trends in the funding landscape over the last 50 years and evaluates the development sector’s funding trajectory for the next five years.

CAPCO is dedicated to fighting poverty in Cortland County through community programs that increase dignity, self-reliance, and improving community conditions. It aims to engage all parts of the community. CAPCO provides services like Head Start, energy assistance, tax preparation, family support programs, and more. It had a budget of $5.5 million in 2011 and employs 200 people. CAPCO receives most of its funding from federal, state, and local governments.
The future of community based services
Community-based services and education are important for supporting vulnerable populations like the disabled, veterans, and older adults. As populations grow, especially the elderly, more funding and services will be needed. Programs will also need to offer more varied services and utilize technology. However, funding for these services is scarce as government budgets face cuts. Organizations rely on government funding and private donations to survive but must also look to politicians for help. The diverse and changing nature of laws and populations means services must adapt to remain effective.
RDP Chapter 11
Planning in the region starts with a vision about what we want to be. It is the aspiration of the Filipinos particularly those from SOCCSKSARGEN Region to have a long-term vision for the region and the country as a whole to become a prosperous, predominantly middle class society where no one is poor. The challenge is how every Filipino can afford to have a “matatag, maginhawa at panatag na buhay by 2040.”
Challenges_to_Social_Services_Delivery_in_Zimbabwes_Resettlement_Areas
This document summarizes a report on challenges to social service delivery in Zimbabwe's resettlement areas. It discusses research conducted in Midlands province, which found that schools and health facilities in resettlement communities are in poor condition and long distances from residents, who must walk to access them. Conflicts often arise due to competition for limited services. The rapid resettlement process resulted in little planning for basic infrastructure. While the government and others have made efforts to improve services, shortcomings remain that could increase tensions if not addressed. The goal of the analysis is to help authorities and organizations improve social services and promote community well-being in resettlement areas.

The government of Botswana relied heavily on foreign aid before diamonds were discovered, which led to a significant economic boost. For a long time the economy depended on minerals, but the goal is now to diversify. The government has pursued tourism expansion and attracting foreign investment, but diversification efforts have not been very successful due to challenges like high transportation costs and taxes. The government expanded education but neglected maintenance, leading to deteriorating infrastructure and compromising quality.
RDP Chapter 5
The document discusses strategies to ensure people-centered, clean, and efficient governance in the region. It outlines programs that were implemented to assess frontline services, enhance transparency, ensure public participation, and improve government procurement. Challenges discussed include longer processing times, weak implementation of anti-red tape laws, and poor access to online government information. Priority strategies proposed to address these include strict enforcement of anti-red tape laws, competency-based hiring, continuing training of government workers, monitoring performance of local governments, and strengthening crime prevention. The legislative agenda suggests establishing a Professional Regulation Commission office, reviewing procurement laws, and streamlining government transactions.

The resolution supports implementing these closures and establishes a joint education and public health working group to address issues around student health, nutrition, safety, education and well-being during the closure period. The State Board chair emphasized the challenges faced but the commitment to supporting students and resolving issues in collaboration with local leaders and health professionals.

To strengthen this relationship, the World Bank could develop a long-term policy to engage CSOs in China, provide capacity building programs, and improve communication channels between the Bank and local CSOs.
