ZGB - The Role of Generative AI in Government transformation.pdfSaeed Al Dhaheri
This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

State crafting: Changes and challenges for managing the public finances
Commoning Water: Experiential Learning Tools to Strengthen Water Governance
1. Commoning Water
Experiential Learning Tools to Strengthen
Water Governance
Ruth Meinzen-Dick, Pratiti Priyadarshini, Subrata Singh,
Rajesh Mittal, and Thomas Falk
Wednesdays for Water Forum
1700-1815 IST, November 23, 2022
2. Water as Commons
Water as commons:
• One person’s use reduces availability for others
• Low excludability, boundaries difficult to establish
• Fugitive resource—hard to see where it goes
Further challenges of groundwater:
• Low visibility
• Lack of understanding of resource dynamics
• Lots of disbursed users
• Difficult to identify aquifer boundaries, esp. in hard rock
• “Traditional knowledge” insufficient with rapidly developing
pumping technology
• State regulation not enough
Need for collective action to manage the resource
3. Community Water Management
• Technical tools to improve understanding of water resources, but what
motivation to use them?
• Community water management programs often not sustained
• Social innovations
• From “teaching” to “social learning”
4. Experiential Learning
Can games be used to strengthen collective resource management?
• Offer safe environment to experience
shared challenge
• Simulate several seasons in short time
• Encourage discussion of situation
• Try different institutional arrangements
(Rules)
• Shape “mental models” and
understanding of relationships
(biophysical and social)
Requires understanding of behavior

6. Groundwater Game
• Groups of 5 men or women (separately)
• Choose crop
• A takes 1 unit water, gives 2 units money
• B takes 2 units water, gives 3 units money
• 2 units (total) for domestic water
• 7 units recharge
• See effect on water table over multiple “years”
• First set of rounds: no communication, individual
choice
• Second set of rounds: communication allowed
7. Community Debriefing
• Full village invited
• Basics of game described
• Share general game results
• No specifics about individuals
• Small group discussions led by game
participants
• Engage community in discussions
about:
How this relates to own
experiences and challenges
farming
Lessons and insights participants
gained from the experience
Possible solutions
9. • Players individually decide on
contributions to dam
maintenance;
• Benefits from dam depend on
total investment of all group
members;
• Dam benefit equally
distributed amongst all
players; OR in sequential order
• Community debriefing.

India
Improve the capacities of 3,500 rural communities
covering 245,000 households directly and in partnership
with other NGOs and Government in six Indian states to
manage water more sustainably.

A reminder that there is a history of attempts to get community GW management, that we are trying to go beyond
Framed field experiments provide opportunities for dialogue with community members regarding collective action, and the exercises and discussions may offer a safe environment to experience a shared challenge so they can discuss and ponder the significance of the situation. This may lead to changes in community members’ views on the valuation and management of the resource.
Men and women separately to make sure women can participate freely
7 units recharge is for first rounds; then it can be randomized
Debriefing is very important for effects
The games alone are not a panacea, but they are an important opening to follow up tools
Crop Water budgeting is a demand side water management strategy
Estimation of total water available & water requirement in a given geographical area for the Rabi Season
Estimated on the basis of various information collected with the participation of community and secondary sources
Initially excel based tool was developed to ease the estimation
Now Android based app developed and CWB is done on mobile phone or tablet (can be downloaded from https://cwb.fes.org.in)
Tool to assist communities for the proper management of water resources.
Why the tool CLART is required?
To demystify hydrogeological knowledge for appropriate site selection of watershed interventions.
Improve the planning process at Panchayat level for preparation of action plan under MGNREGS.
