Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Human Rights, Formalisation and Women’s Land Rights in Southern and Eastern ...Dr Lendy Spires
Land is a vital resource for rural livelihoods. Establishing and clarifying land rights through formalisation has become a key issue in development policies that aim to promote more productive uses of land. This report looks at some land reform initiatives from a gendered human rights perspective. The human rights-based approach (HRBA) has a direct bearing on international and national land reform policies, facilitating gender equality through elimination of discrimination against women.
The overall aim of this report is to make a contribution to the operationalisation of the HRBA. Chapter 2 focuses on different approaches to formalisation in different historical periods to date, starting with a discussion of the concept itself. In Chapter 3 the human rights- based approach to development is developed in relation to women’s land rights, while Chapter 4 is an analysis of the approach to land policy found in the 2003 World Bank report. The country studies presented in Chapters 5–9 explore to what extent international and national formalisation initiatives are consonant with international human rights standards.
By way of conclusion Chapter 10 addresses some cross-cutting issues concerning the approach’s efficacy and adequacy at the international, national and local levels. Background and concretisation of the human rights-based approach The human rights based approach to development was initiated by the UN and is today gradually adopted by international and national donor agencies. There is a growing body of literature integrating development aid with human rights principles and norms.
While still in the making some overall concerns and principles of this approach are: - Recognising the mutual dependency and complementarity of sustainable human development and the different human rights - Considering the individual as the central actor in and beneficiary of development - Focusing on the rights of individuals rather than needs - Setting out a legally binding framework of individual and group rights, with corresponding obligations for national governments and international community to respect, protect and fulfil these rights The overall challenge addressed in the report is to bring the HRBA framework from the plane of abstract principles and turn it into a practical response to poor women’s concerns.
This Youth Manifesto is a political document especially if we go by the definition of politics as “who gets what, when and how”. It arose out of youth consultative meetings country-wide.
Developing gender-sensitive local services most important outcome of events such as this is the exchange they enable between participants from different countries. Clearly, we all share an agenda in the areas of social inclusion and service provision. Issues of quality, gender sensitivity, and accessibility are as challenging for people in the UK as they are for people in Africa, Asia and Central and Latin America.
We share concerns about the affordability and appropriateness of services – who pays for services, what user fees are acceptable, who delivers the services – and about accountability, principally the accountability of officials and elected representatives to citizens. Finally – and importantly – we want to identify approaches which could be useful to the European Union and the British government in their development co-operation programmes and policies. Alongside the set of shared agendas outlined above is another agenda which is equally important for this seminar. In 1995 the UK and the European Union, alongside most other countries in the world, signed agreements at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the World Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen.
This year they have reiterated their commitment by signing agreements at the follow-up conferences, ‘Beijing + 5’ and ‘Copenhagen + 5’. Fundamental to these international agreements is gender equality and the commitment to women’s rights as human rights. The international community has also committed itself to certain international development targets which stem from the series of UN conferences that took place in the 1990s. One of those targets poses a challenge: to halve the incidence of poverty by 2015.
The UK and the European Union have very good gender policies in their development co-operation. Yet, as we all know, there are still huge inequalities in access to, and control over, services such as water, health care, education, sanitation, transport, roads, justice, and housing. In such a context it is difficult to see how women, men and children can enjoy and exercise their full human rights when they are denied access to some of the most basic essential services.
