This document analyzes global education expenditures from 2006-2012 using data from UNESCO. It examines education spending as a share of GDP and total government expenditures. Key findings include:
- Countries spending the least on education devote less than 2.5% of GDP and 10% of total expenditures.
- Countries spending the most devote over 8% of GDP and 24% of expenditures, with some spending over 10% of GDP.
- While high spending does not guarantee high enrollment or completion rates, some countries achieve high rates with relatively low expenditures.
- Several countries more than doubled their education spending as a share of GDP or total expenditures over the period analyzed.
- Road traffic crashes kill over 1.3 million people annually and injure 50 million, greater than deaths from malaria or tuberculosis. Children account for one in five deaths, with 260,000 killed and 1 million disabled each year.
- Road deaths are forecast to increase to over 1.9 million annually by 2020 if no action is taken. However, the world could prevent 5 million deaths and 50 million serious injuries between now and 2020 by dramatically increasing investment in road safety.
- Road injuries disproportionately impact the poor and are hindering economic growth in many developing countries. Each death results in lifelong grief for families and economic hardship. Urgent global action is needed to address this growing public health and development crisis.
This document discusses Africa's progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It finds that Africa has made progress in some areas like education but still faces challenges in reducing poverty, hunger, and preventable child and maternal deaths. The document recommends that African countries focus on improving agriculture, food security, and health systems to accelerate progress on development goals by 2015 and in establishing new goals after 2015.
This document summarizes data on primary education from a global report. It includes information on enrollment rates, out of school children, gender and income disparities, pupil-teacher ratios, repetition rates, completion rates, learning outcomes, and education expenditures for primary education. The key findings are that primary enrollment has increased globally but progress has stalled since 2008, sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest enrollment rates and highest rates of out of school children, and gender parity has improved substantially but disparities still exist in some countries and regions based on income and location.

The document discusses barriers to economic prosperity in Africa, including corruption, illiteracy, security threats, poor infrastructure, and poverty. It argues these factors have restricted Africa's economic growth and progress. However, the document proposes that achieving greater economic freedom through sustainable growth, infrastructure development, regional integration, and human capital development could help "unchain" Africa's economy and enable faster growth.

This document discusses using the International Futures (IFs) global forecasting model to identify risks by looking for imbalances in the global system. The IFs model integrates data on 186 countries across issues like governance, economics, health and the environment. The presenter proposes examining imbalances like youth bulges, resource curses, inequality and environmental pressures to identify risks. Examples are given of analyzing demographic, socio-political and environmental imbalances both within and across countries. Combining the IFs model with other risk indices is also discussed as a way to explore multiple interacting risks.
The document analyzes gender disparities in education indicators like enrollment rates, attendance rates, literacy rates, and completion rates across different regions and income levels. Some key findings are:
- Globally, gender parity has been achieved in pre-primary and primary enrollments, but disparities still exist in some regions like the Middle East and North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Low income is the greatest source of disparity in out-of-school rates across regions. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia have made progress but still have the most females out of school.
- Most countries and regions have closed the gender gap in primary enrollments, but Afghanistan, Central African Republic, and Chad

Islamic Extremists in Africa: Security Spotlight on Kenya and NigeriaMaurice Dawson
Security is a growing concern on the African continent as the Regional Economic Communities (REC) move toward economic integration. Furthermore, these regions collectively make up the African Union (AU) which has an objective to promote peace, security, and stability on the African continent. In recent years, Africa has been plagued with political uprisings, civil wars, extremists, corrupt politicians, and the battle for natural resources. In particular, Kenya and Nigeria are facing Islamic extremists that threaten the foundation of multiple nations. In both countries, they are using military force to combat these threats. This chapter provides insight into these West and East African nations and their means to provide security assurances to their citizens.

2014 IBRAHIM INDEX OF AFRICAN GOVERNANCE (IIAG) KEY FINDINGS Dr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes the key findings of the 2014 Ibrahim Index of African Governance. Some of the main points include:
- Overall governance in Africa has improved slightly over the past 5 years, driven by gains in participation and human rights as well as human development. However, progress was smaller than in the previous 5 years.
- The largest improvers in overall governance were Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Niger and Zimbabwe, reversing previous negative trends.
- Safety and rule of law declined across Africa, with deteriorations in rule of law, accountability and personal safety. Only national security improved.
- Participation and human rights increased overall due to gains in political participation,
The document is a summary of the 2013 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG). Some key points:
- The IIAG provides an annual assessment of governance in every African country across 4 categories: Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity, and Human Development.
- The index compiles data from 32 international and African sources to evaluate 94 indicators in total.
- The results show widespread governance improvements across Africa since 2000, though Safety & Rule of Law scores have declined on average.
- Mauritius ranked first overall in 2013 while Somalia ranked last. Country rankings and scores are provided.

Inclusive sustainable development gender and climate change8 (2)UNDP Policy Centre
The document discusses inclusive sustainable development and accounting for gender in climate policy. It notes that development cannot be achieved if half the population is left out. Gender equality is key to effective development. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in terms of livelihood security, social security, and physical security. Mainstreaming gender in climate policies and programs is important but implementation is lacking. More balanced investment is needed between mitigation and adaptation in climate finance to help vulnerable groups cope with climate risks. Stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring quality and accountability in climate actions and finance.

ABSTRACT
Despite attempts by African governments to achieve Sustainable Development, there is a growing perception that Africa may fail in achieving the goals. This perception is fueled partly by the evidence that while the world is undergoing rapid change, which is driven prominently by technology and globalization, Africa remains unprotected and at risk of being exploited without due recognition of, and remuneration for, its resources. Additionally, there is the continued escalating trend in poverty and the diminishing strength of the environment to meet current and future needs of African countries. Given the fact that sustainable development appears to be contradicting in between the opposing imperatives of growth and development on one hand, and ecological sustainability on the other, the trend in sustainable development on the African continent has generated some skepticism about whether the goals are achievable in Africa. The lack of a logical literature that documents the challenges and prospects of Sustainable development in Africa underpins the uncertainty of achieving the goals in Africa. Hence, this paper assessed the challenges of sustainable development in Africa, and the way forward.

Africa continues to lag behind in development. Mobile technology is enabling growth in poor countries. There is debate around how to reduce extreme poverty.
This document summarizes the results of social protection programs in Africa that aim to reduce poverty through cash transfers. It finds that:
1) Government-run non-contributory cash transfer programs in Africa have tripled over the last 15 years, though overall coverage of social protection remains low.
2) Evaluations of cash transfer programs in 10 African countries find they significantly reduce poverty, improve food security and nutrition, increase spending on education and healthcare, and boost asset accumulation.
3) Cash transfers are found to have multiplier effects, stimulating broader economic activity at household and community levels without increasing inflation.

The document discusses a draft concept note for a World Conference on Youth in Sri Lanka. It provides background on youth populations globally and in developing regions, noting that many youth face challenges accessing employment, education, and decision making opportunities. It outlines Sri Lanka's commitment to youth development and participation, including establishing a Youth Parliament. The concept note argues that youth must be actively involved in shaping the post-2015 development agenda to ensure it meets their needs and priorities, such as education, health, employment, and equality.

This document discusses the impacts of climate change on African youth and the response from African youth. It notes that climate change is negatively impacting key youth employment sectors like agriculture, increasing health issues, and driving rural to urban migration. To respond, the African Youth Initiative on Climate Change was formed to raise awareness and establish national chapters. However, African youth efforts face challenges like lack of inclusion in decision making, inadequate funding, and limited access to information and capacity. The document calls for specific actions like dedicating funding to youth climate programs, ensuring youth representation in negotiations, and reporting on the status of African youth and climate change.

Foreword
The global mobilization behind the Millennium
Development Goals has produced the most successful
anti-poverty movement in history. The landmark
commitment entered into by world leaders in the year
2000—to “spare no effort to free our fellow men,
women and children from the abject and dehumanizing
conditions of extreme poverty”—was translated into
an inspiring framework of eight goals and, then, into
wide-ranging practical steps that have enabled people
across the world to improve their lives and their future
prospects. The MDGs helped to lift more than one billion
people out of extreme poverty, to make inroads against
hunger, to enable more girls to attend school than ever
before and to protect our planet. They generated new
and innovative partnerships, galvanized public opinion
and showed the immense value of setting ambitious ...
AWA Experts 2015 Meeting_eMTCT Best Bractices Presentation_IntroductionAIDS Watch Africa
The document discusses the African Union's efforts to document and share best practices for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV (eMTCT) across African countries. It outlines the policy frameworks and initiatives that provide context for the project. The objectives are to document exemplary eMTCT programs, identify key success factors, and disseminate the findings to member states. Five countries - Chad, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Tunisia - participated by having their eMTCT programs documented for compilation into a booklet of best practices.
This document discusses the links between population dynamics, climate change, and sustainable development in Africa. It finds that Sub-Saharan Africa's population is growing rapidly, driven by high fertility rates, and is projected to double by 2050. Rapid population growth and climate change are exacerbating environmental degradation on the continent and undermining development efforts. The document examines these links through case studies of Kenya and Malawi and recommends that governments and donors invest more in integrated population, climate change, and development policies and programs. Addressing population challenges, such as by expanding access to family planning, can increase resilience to climate change impacts and help achieve sustainable development goals.
The document provides a rationale for developing a youth strategy for the Centre for Technical Cooperation (CTA). It notes that many African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries have large youth populations and face challenges like food insecurity, weak economies, and climate change impacts. If supported properly, youth could help drive economic transformation in these regions, especially in agriculture. However, agriculture is often seen as unattractive to youth. The document proposes that CTA develop a youth strategy to encourage youth involvement in agriculture, strengthen their participation in value chains and policymaking, build their skills, and leverage ICTs. It provides an overview of a planned workshop to gather input on priority issues and initiatives to help finalize the youth strategy. The workshop will
The Central African Republic gained independence from France in 1960 and has experienced considerable political instability, including several coups and an overthrow of the government. It remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with ongoing conflicts spilling over from neighboring countries like Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country faces major challenges including insecurity, poverty, underdevelopment, and instability exacerbated by its location in a volatile region.
Aid management in fragile states: the case of the Central African Republichdptcar
Aid management is key to improving aid effectiveness. While the environment in fragile states may seem complex, implementing aid management systems can actually be easy. The example of the Central African Republic shows how strong aid management can help to make sure that aid is properly tracked, aligned with local priorities and delivering the expected results.

Over the last two years, humanitarian assistance has made a decisive contribution to the stabilization the Central African Republic while the country’s condition was at its most critical. Back from the brink of collapse, the benefits of peace and stability now would have to be spread much wider throughout this desperately poor country, if the patient were to recover successfully. However, while humanitarian assistance is levelling off and may well decrease in 2009, development support is still lacking too far behind to pick up the thread. The looming recovery gap now jeopardizes CAR’s fragile progress, as data from the country’s new aid management system shows.

DAD is an online database that manages data on external assistance to the Central African Republic. It allows donors and implementers to collaboratively enter and monitor data on humanitarian and development aid according to OECD standards. The main objectives of DAD are to improve aid effectiveness, coordination, and access to project information by better understanding who provides assistance in which sectors and locations. It provides tools for easily entering, viewing, analyzing, and reporting data on aid flows through lists, charts, maps, and reports.

The document provides an overview of the Central African Republic (CAR) with statistics and facts about its geography, population, poverty, development, economy, resources, rural development, health, education, water, infrastructure, external assistance, and recent progress. CAR is a landlocked country in central Africa that has experienced over 20 years of underdevelopment and stagnation. It has high poverty rates, weak health and education systems, and lacks infrastructure and development despite having natural resources like diamonds, gold, and timber. Recent political stability and international engagement have led to modest economic growth and improved humanitarian access in some areas.

The Central African Republic is located between Chad, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It has experienced over 20 years of underdevelopment and poverty, ranking highly on negative development indicators such as extreme poverty, low life expectancy, maternal and child mortality, and illiteracy. Violence by rebels has displaced nearly 300,000 people within CAR's borders. The humanitarian situation is severe in the northern and eastern regions where rebels operate freely, committing human rights abuses. International humanitarian organizations are working to provide emergency assistance and support development efforts amid challenging operating conditions.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
