TCI 2016 Beyond GDP: A framework for Measuring Sustainable Development in Mar...TCI Network
David Adkins presented a framework for measuring sustainable development in maritime clusters beyond traditional economic indicators like GDP. The framework examines the relationships between cluster governance, social capital, and sustainable development. It consists of tools to evaluate social capital, cluster governance, and measures of environmental, social and economic sustainability. The tools are intended to help clusters learn about their strategic and operational impact rather than comparatively benchmark clusters. Limitations include making assumptions about firm engagement with sustainability.
TCI 2014 Evaluating the human element in clustersTCI Network
This document discusses evaluating the human element in clusters. It proposes that the human element includes dimensions like engagement, internal collaboration, and external interaction. It suggests measuring these dimensions at the firm and cluster level through surveys and self-assessment tools. Measuring the human element can provide evidence of impacts and the relationship between the human element and economic performance. Next steps include countries collecting data on the human element and discussing results to advance frameworks for evaluating and benchmarking the human element internationally.
This document discusses access to information for parliamentary budget offices and independent fiscal institutions (IFIs/PBOs). There are differences in access rights depending on an organization's establishing legislation and agreements with government information providers. Issues that commonly arise include delays, lack of detail, and political obstacles to information access. Measures that can help address issues include memorandums of understanding outlining responsibilities, collaboration through working groups and points of contact, and agreed processes for escalating unresolved requests. Overall, establishing early information needs, maintaining open communication, and clarifying access rights and dispute resolution can support effective information sharing.

Context mapping policy influencing: a framework for action [compatibility mode]The Scinnovent Centre
This document outlines a framework for influencing policy change through research. It discusses four key components to consider: the political context, the evidence, links between stakeholders, and the external environment. For each component, it provides questions researchers should consider to understand the situation, actions they can take to influence policy, and recommendations on how to implement those actions, such as building relationships with policymakers, establishing credibility over time, and aligning research with international priorities. The overall goal is to provide guidance to researchers on strategically influencing policy through different approaches based on the issue context.
Establishing harmonised business statistics databases in the nordic NSIs, Pet...Tilastokeskus
This document discusses establishing harmonized business statistics databases across Nordic nations. The goals are to accommodate evolving user demands through linking different statistical registers at the enterprise level using unique IDs. This allows tailoring output efficiently while avoiding new surveys. The databases contain selected variables for all enterprises. A centrally scripted syntax is used with decentralized execution to produce harmonized output tables for cross-country analysis without sharing microdata. Examples show analyses of SME importance and largest enterprise groups. Future work includes linking business and social statistics like education data.

This document discusses capacity building for modernizing institutions and governance. It outlines several issues to consider, including increasing demand and use of data, fostering strong institutions and data processes, effective governance structures, building partnerships, and establishing multi-year financing. Capacity building aims to enhance skills, abilities, resources, strengthen understandings and relationships, and address values and conditions to support sustainable development. It works best when locally driven with a long-term focus on building local capacities and ongoing learning through adaptation. Program activities that are results-oriented, cost-effective, support ownership, and stimulate regional interaction through peer learning are an effective means for capacity building.
Strategic internationalisation - ILO Mtgs Feb 2016 (2)Rhonda Friesen
The document discusses considerations for using data and benchmarking in developing strategic internationalization plans at universities. It recommends that universities (1) view comparative data and benchmarks as providing context rather than targets, to encourage cooperation and pushing beyond complacency; (2) develop comprehensive measurement frameworks across governance, students, faculty, curriculum, research, and engagement to gather both quantitative and qualitative data from diverse perspectives; and (3) remember the limitations of data in only telling part of the story and potentially exposing assumptions, while still recognizing the importance of starting to collect and use data to shape strategic decisions and assess impact and progress over time.
This document discusses how research assessment and funding criteria are changing to focus more on real-world impact. It provides examples of initiatives that emphasize engaging with non-academic audiences and applying research to benefit society. The document also offers suggestions for researchers to demonstrate impact, such as publishing practitioner commentaries alongside papers, participating in research learning communities, and co-creating articles with industry professionals. Overall, it encourages researchers to consider how to communicate their work to relevant end-users and incorporate impact planning from the beginning of the research process.
Sir Peter Gluckman - Evidence informed policy making - 27 June 2017OECD Governance
This document discusses the realities of providing science advice to governments. It notes that while governments are more likely to make better decisions using evidence, science alone does not determine policy as many values and political considerations also factor in. Effective science advice requires an ecosystem that combines skills in brokering, trust and diplomacy. The positioning of science in a post-trust world is changing, particularly as politics has also become post-expert. An effective advisory system is needed to navigate this complex landscape and ensure robust science is properly used, not misused or ignored in policymaking.

Organisations Collaborating At The Local Levelahmad bassiouny
This document discusses the changing dynamics between statutory and voluntary organizations collaborating at the local level in the UK to help disadvantaged groups with work training and social inclusion. It finds that while local organizations try to cooperate, national policies focusing on targets and efficiency often limit local flexibility. Job centers are focused on targets and referrals while facing budget cuts. Local authorities have declining direct roles but use partnerships and procurement. Third sector organizations provide jobs and training but struggle with limited funding and pressure to meet business targets. Community groups provide broader services but rely on short-term and precarious funding. Overall local decentralization is dominated by national priorities rather than local needs, though some organizations work creatively within these constraints.
Creating a Sustainable Built Environment through Education and Collaboration ...campone
This document discusses the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainable development. It defines sustainable development according to the Brundtland Commission as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. A place-based approach is emphasized, considering environmental, social, economic factors and intra- and inter-generational equity. The Sustainable Communities model provides eight components for collaboration across sectors and places. Case studies illustrate collaboration principles through regeneration partnerships in North Liverpool, Stewartstown Road in Belfast, and the Resurgam Trust in Lisburn. Guiding principles stress shared vision, action, and resources through inclusive, long-lasting area-wide collaboration and capacity building.

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.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile

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.
