Benin faces challenges in achieving universal primary education by 2015 as outlined in the Millennium Development Goals. While the government is committed and donors provide support, Benin remains far from the education goals. Interviews found that accountability within the government is lacking, as officials do not see the need to report on their actions. Decentralizing the education system could help but most local governments currently lack the required capacities. The central government will need to continue its role in the short term while also enforcing accountability mechanisms and performance criteria throughout the responsibility chain.

OECD Draft Principles on Digital Government Strategiesadamlerouge
The document discusses the need for digital strategies in government given fiscal constraints, rising expectations of citizens, and the paradigm shift from governments as providers to enablers. It outlines that digital strategies should have three pillars: engage citizens and promote open government to maintain trust, strengthen capabilities to ensure return on ICT investments, and adopt joined-up approaches to deliver public value. The strategies are needed to help governments address complex issues, provide seamless services, and facilitate innovative solutions, especially in key areas like healthcare, education and social security.

The JSNA aims to aggregate local data to inform strategic investment and long-term vision for health and social care. Over the next 10 years, Birmingham will see an older population that is less diverse but with doubling of ethnic minority elders, as well as 26% growth in young people. This will strain health and social care resources as workforce growth may not keep pace with need. Improving the private rented housing sector will be crucial to address health inequalities. The local economy will also continue to change, requiring a more adaptable workforce. The JSNA process needs to evolve from descriptive reporting to action planning and demonstrating outcomes, with more involvement from commissioners and local leaders.
Governance as an SDG Accelerator: Country Experiences and ToolsOECD Governance

The OECD provides tools to help countries implement the Recommendation, including a policy toolkit, surveys, studies, and guides to share best practices in governance for gender equality.
Andhra Pradesh Priorities Digitisation - Digital Empowerment FoundationCopenhagen_Consensus
This document summarizes two potential solutions to improve digitization in Andhra Pradesh:
1) Linking the remaining MGNREGA workers to Aadhaar for digital payments. This would reduce leakage through ghost beneficiaries and deception. The estimated cost is Rs. 49 crore over 15 years, with estimated benefits of Rs. 504 crore, yielding a benefit-cost ratio of 10-11.
2) Connecting the remaining 12317 rural villages in Andhra Pradesh to the National Optic Fibre Network, and households within those villages. The estimated cost is Rs. 10,179 crore over 50 years, with estimated benefits of Rs. 69,707 crore, yielding a benefit-cost ratio of
The document summarizes the OECD's review of Slovenia's labor market policies and outcomes. It finds that while Slovenia's employment rates recovered after declining in 2008, they remain low for some groups. Long-term unemployment is high, revealing structural problems. The OECD recommends strengthening requirements for unemployment benefits recipients, activating jobseekers earlier, improving individual support for disadvantaged groups, and promoting longer working lives through pension reforms. The most important areas for change are tackling long-term unemployment, enabling more support for hard-to-place jobseekers, improving work incentives for benefit recipients, and coordinating labor activation efforts between the Employment Service and Social Work Centers.

Eeva Nykänen: Social and health care reform in FinlandSTN IMPRO
Finland is undertaking a major reform of its social and health care system to address issues like an aging population, regional disparities in access to services, and rising costs. The key points of the reform are establishing 18 new counties to organize services currently provided by municipalities, integrating social and health care, increasing choice of providers, and shifting responsibility for financing, oversight and delivery from municipalities to counties while strengthening the role of the central government. The reform aims to narrow health differences, enhance access to equitable services, and curb costs by 3 billion euros by 2030, but faces challenges in implementation and ensuring equality amid increased private provision.

The document discusses poverty reduction efforts in Sudan through the Social Initiative Program (SIP). The SIP aims to provide social protection to poor households nationwide, including cash transfers, health insurance, and other services. However, implementing the SIP faced problems of inclusion and exclusion errors from a poor targeting system, as well as unpredictable payments, weakening its impact. To address this, the World Bank is supporting Sudan's government to strengthen the targeting system through setting eligibility criteria, training staff, reviewing household lists using a poverty map and means test, creating a common database, and involving participants. Pilot funding from the World Bank will help test and implement these proposed solutions to improve the SIP's transparency and effectiveness.
The document summarizes findings from impact evaluations of social protection programs conducted by J-PAL MENA. It discusses how randomized evaluations are used to understand the impact of social programs and policies. It then reviews evidence on the impact of different social protection programs, including cash transfers versus in-kind transfers, conditional versus unconditional cash transfers, and the effects of program design features like targeting methods and transfer modalities. Key findings discussed include that in-kind transfers can impact prices, labeling programs can be as effective as formal conditionality, and conditional cash transfers may have unintended consequences like increasing child marriage.

The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.

This document summarizes a workshop on social grants and financial inclusion in South Africa. It discusses how social grants in Latin America take an instrumental approach to reduce poverty, while in Africa grants are seen as a basic human right. In South Africa, the Child Support Grant reduces poverty by 38% and resistance to punitive conditionality led to grants remaining unconditional. The document also outlines South Africa's transition to electronic grant payments through debit cards and a new payment service provider to reduce costs and improve controls, with the goal of true, socially and financially inclusive bank accounts for recipients.
This document discusses the need for an OECD Action Plan for Youth to address high youth unemployment and underemployment. It notes that youth face challenges transitioning from education to work, and these challenges have been exacerbated by the global financial crisis. The Action Plan aims to both alleviate current high youth unemployment and improve long-term employment prospects for youth. Key elements of the plan include tackling weak demand, expanding job and training programs for youth, improving education systems, strengthening vocational education and training, and assisting youth transition into the workforce.
This document summarizes an OECD action plan to improve youth employment outcomes. It finds that youth unemployment increased sharply due to the global financial crisis, exacerbating long-standing challenges youth face in transitioning from education to work. The action plan calls on countries to address both the immediate crisis through measures like income support and job programs, as well as long-term structural barriers through improved education, skills training, career guidance and more flexible labor policies. It emphasizes tackling weak demand, investing in foundation skills for all youth, strengthening vocational education, and better connecting education and the labor market.
The OECD Action Plan for Youth aims to tackle high youth unemployment and strengthen long-term employment prospects for youth. The plan includes measures to boost job creation and support for unemployed youth. It also focuses on strengthening education, vocational training, and support for transitioning to the workforce. The OECD is committed to working with countries to implement national and local plans through activities like workshops on best practices, short policy notes, and more comprehensive country reviews. The goal is to help youth acquire skills and access quality employment opportunities.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
