The document discusses the need for electoral reforms in India to address issues like the influence of black money and criminal candidates in elections as well as the lack of transparency in political funding. It proposes several reforms such as online voting, restrictions on candidates with criminal backgrounds, greater regulation of campaign donations, and making the Election Commission of India independent of government control. The challenges in implementing reforms and monitoring their impact are also examined.
Equitable tax system
The document proposes a project for Pakistan that aims to create a more equitable tax system and increase domestic resource mobilization. It would do this by enhancing the capacity of civil society and tax authorities to advocate for reforming Pakistan's regressive tax laws and policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy. This includes eliminating tax exemptions, broadening the tax base to cover more sectors, and reducing political influence over the tax system. The goals are to generate more tax revenue to fund basic services for citizens and reduce inequality as outlined in the UN SDGs. Key activities would include training, public awareness campaigns, lobbying lawmakers, and research to advocate for a fairer, more progressive tax system.

Fair & Just Fiscal Policy
Pakistan's current tax system is inefficient and inequitable, mobilizing insufficient revenue to adequately fund public services for the poor. It relies too heavily on indirect taxes that disproportionately burden the poor. Reforms are needed to broaden the direct tax base, reduce indirect taxes, ensure all sectors contribute fairly, and improve tax administration. These changes could strengthen domestic revenue, increase equity, and boost development outcomes.
Global value chain
Nepal's economy relies heavily on agriculture, tourism, and remittances from overseas workers. It faces challenges of landlocked geography, small-scale farming, and poor infrastructure. Global value chains are important for Nepal's trade and development, with many firms specializing in simple parts and tasks. Key factors determining Nepal's participation in global and regional trade include its abundant low-skilled labor, proximity to major markets in India, and efforts to improve connectivity through policies like the National Transport Policy. Nepal is working to diversify its economy and trade through industrialization strategies, expansion of tourism, and development of other sectors like hydropower.

This document discusses the influence of money and power in Indian politics. It argues that money has become synonymous with politics in India, allowing wealthy candidates to dominate elections. Having money provides political power, and political power enables the accumulation of more money. This cycle has marginalized common citizens and allowed criminals to enter politics. The document proposes several solutions, including strengthening anti-corruption laws, reforming political financing, educating voters, and encouraging ethical individuals to participate in politics. The overall conclusion is that the only way to strengthen democracy is for citizens, especially youth, to get more involved in the political process.

Unorganized workers in India's informal sector make up over 90% of the labor force but lack basic protections and social security. They face numerous challenges including poverty, lack of bargaining power, gender inequalities, and occupational hazards. Providing social security, healthcare access, skill training, living wages, safe working conditions, and a mechanism to formalize informal businesses could help empower unorganized workers and boost India's economy. Raising awareness, enforcing labor laws, and improving access to education, financial services, and infrastructure in slums are also important to alleviate challenges faced by India's vast informal workforce.

This document provides a summary of preliminary research on the effects of district proliferation in Ghana. It finds that while new districts are justified as bringing development closer to people, politics often drives the creation of new districts. An analysis of Ghana's 2012 district splits found they were more likely in areas that voted for the ruling party and in poorer, smaller places. This has led to malapportionment and may contradict the goal of equal representation. However, new districts remain dependent on intergovernmental transfers. Further analysis of expenditures, development outcomes, and longer term impacts is still needed.

Local economic enterprises special report
The document discusses public economic enterprises (PEEs) owned by local governments in the Philippines. It defines PEEs and purposeful PEEs, which contribute to sustainable development and quality service delivery. Purposeful PEEs are managed according to clear goals and business plans. They can help reduce poverty by providing equitable access to services, attracting investors, and potentially involving small and medium enterprises. PEEs also contribute to local economic development, revenue generation, and good governance. However, many current PEEs operate at a loss and require subsidies, and their management could be improved. The document discusses policy options for strengthening PEEs through greater autonomy, privatization, cooperation between local governments, and changes to fees and management

It examines reasons for low female participation in the workforce, such as traditional gender roles, discrimination, and lack of infrastructure and social protections. The document also outlines existing Indian laws aimed at promoting women's economic empowerment and recommendations for further improving women's access to education, jobs, finance, and decision making to boost economic growth.
Ghana women-informal-sector

The tax system is not seen as fair or inclusive for these women. The document analyzes these findings and makes recommendations for making the tax system more responsive, accountable and fair in order to strengthen the relationship between citizens and the state.

This document discusses providing social welfare and securities to workers in the informal sector in India. It notes that the informal sector currently makes up 92% of employment and 50% of GDP.

Challenges to implementing this include corruption, unemployment, data collection issues working with unions, and liberalization policies. Establishing these funds could help reduce vulnerability for informal workers and decrease the size of the informal sector over time.

The document proposes several electoral reforms in India to address issues like lack of youth involvement in politics, dissatisfaction with elected representatives, and criminalization of politics. It suggests establishing a preparatory stage with leadership training programs in schools and colleges and a mandatory preliminary test for candidates. In the pre-election stage, it recommends stricter checks on candidates' backgrounds and greater transparency in funding. For the election process, it proposes using direct recording electronic voting machines integrated with Aadhaar and implementing a "right to reject" to enable re-elections if voter turnout rejects all candidates. The reforms aim to increase transparency, engage youth, reduce criminality and fraud, and give voters more choice. However, challenges around political will

CochinMavericks
This document discusses the need for electoral reforms in India to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in politics. It notes that India has a large population but few parliamentary seats, leading to each MP representing over a million people. Many MPs have criminal backgrounds and election expenses are largely unaccounted for. It proposes several reforms such as restrictions on criminally-accused candidates, limits on terms for MPs, greater transparency in political funding, and monitoring party activities between elections. The goal is to establish a system where elections better represent the will of Indian citizens.

1) Money and muscle power have come to heavily influence politics in India, with many politicians having criminal charges and large assets. The top political parties have hundreds of MPs/MLAs with criminal charges.
2) Various factors like regional politics, liberalization, and splits in parties have contributed to the rise of money in politics. Politicians manipulate business people and get funding in exchange for favors.
3) Reforms are proposed to reduce this influence, including fast track courts for corrupt politicians, monitoring voting, restricting independent candidates, and increasing transparency. Local groups would provide feedback and be funded through corporate social responsibility programs.

Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) was established in 1999 to improve democracy in India. It started by filing a case asking for disclosure of candidates' criminal, financial, and educational backgrounds. Based on the ruling, background disclosures are now mandatory for candidates. ADR conducts Election Watches during elections to provide voters with candidates' information in a timely manner via their website and SMS services. This helps increase transparency around candidates' backgrounds. ADR has seen some impact, such as a reduction in the number of politicians with criminal cases being elected. They plan to expand their SMS services to provide more ongoing information to voters.

Primary education in India faces several challenges, including low enrollment and attendance rates, high dropout rates before 5th grade, and poor quality of education especially in rural areas and for girls. The government has implemented various programs to address these issues, such as the District Primary Education Program, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, and Operation Blackboard.

Tourism_and_Border_Trade
The document discusses key challenges facing the North Eastern states of India, including insurgency, lack of infrastructure, and poor governance. It argues that developing tourism and border trade could help address high unemployment and low GDP in the region by generating jobs and revenue. Specifically, the region has great potential for eco and adventure tourism due to its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Border trade could revive local industries and provide access to new markets, fulfilling the goals of India's "Look East" policy. However, more work is still needed to improve infrastructure and overcome security challenges and isolationist mindsets that have hindered economic development.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

So India is losing 25 million votes of the educated Introduce provision to vote for NRIs through Indian embassies Provision of e-voting – One time passwords (OTP) sent to voters’ mobiles when requested People under the age of 30 contesting for elections need not deposit the initial security Program should be launched in which youth are asked to volunteer to spread awareness about the election process in their locality Mandatory budget allocation for creating internship opportunities for students with political parties Private & government organisations should ensure that every employee should have a voters card (like the same way as TDS is implemented) Currently voter turn out is 4.1 million. If we make 30 million people employed in the urban organised sector to vote, the voter turn out ratio can be tremendously increased Notifications should be sent to employees who have spent 6 months in a new constituency for reissuance of voting cards
- 9. STATE FUNDING State funding is provided to the parties which are active for 5 years and has won a minimum of 4% seats in Loksabha constituency. This will give leverage to big parties which are already highly resourceful In 2009, 36 corporate entities donated more that 1 crore to parties Currently donors who contribute less than INR 20,000 have the right to be anonymous. It allows donors to split their total contribution in smaller amounts and donate 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Total Income(in cr.) 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 Total 0 500 1000 1500 Donation(in cr.) Total Income Donation Provide state funding to only those parties receiving low private funds State funding should mostly be in kind like free electricity, vehicles and petrol rather than cash Take back the funding if parties have received more funds after that Set an upper limit on corporate funding to parties and on spending by each party on a constituency Collect PAN details from all the donors who are donating up to INR 20,000 more than once SOLUTIONS
