The GFMD 2012 was held in Port Louis, Mauritius from 19th - 22nd November 2012 with than 800 representatives from civil society and governments from some 160 countries. We all gathered to discuss changes needed in labour migration, protection of migrants, promotion of their rights and development.
Leaders of non-governmental organisations, migrant and Diaspora groups, trade unions, academia and the private sector joined ministers and senior officials of foreign relations, labour, interior, development, overseas assistance, commerce and other government offices together with representatives of UN and other international organisations at the sixth GFMD. In a “two plus two formula”, civil society led the first two days of the Global Forum meetings, followed by two days organised by governments, with a full morning of joint meeting—a “Common Space”—formally bridging the two.
My participation was funded by Comic Relief’s Common Ground Initiative Influencing and Engagement Strategy.

Religion Matters-II SouthCom religious senior leaders symposiumBrian J. Grim
US Military Chaplains (Active(18) and National Guard(7), Partner Nation Chaplains(14), Non-Governmental Organization Leaders(13), Local Clergy(5), Academics(5) and USSOUTHCOM Command and Staff elements(15), joined together for 3 days of presentation, professional exchange and collegial dialogue on how “Religion is good for Business”- “How Religion and Politics mix” and “How best to consider Religion as a factor for analysis, a source of healing, a place of hope and an encourager of reconciliation.” Keynote speakers, Dr. Brian Grim President of the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation, http://religiousfreedomandbusiness.org/, and Mr. Knox Thames, Director of Policy and Research at the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, http://www.uscirf.gov/, engaged the assembly; challenging assumptions and offering thoughtful perspectives for the future.
The document discusses key issues related to aid, growth, poverty, and the post-2015 development agenda. It summarizes research showing that while aid's impact on growth has been difficult to establish, aid has helped reduce poverty and fund improvements in areas like education and health. Going forward, aid will still be needed in fragile countries but also should support middle-income countries confronting poverty and global challenges. The roles of aid may evolve to include more support for global public goods, climate issues, and independent monitoring of country-level emissions. Overall, aid must adapt to new contexts while continuing to be guided by high-quality policy research.

Bioclimate is a small CSO that received DFID funding through the GPAF program to implement a project in Mozambique. Some positives from the funding included being able to try out new ideas, establish a partnership and foothold in Mozambique, and obtain matched funding. However, the application and due diligence processes were rigorous and time/resource intensive. Overall, the logframe development and project management tools provided learning experiences and DFID was flexible with payments.

Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Diaspora Report on Post GFMD Civil Society Days 28 February 20…
1. Diaspora Report on Post GFMD 2012 Civil Society
Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius
Prepared by:
Chibwe Henry – CEO Zambia Diaspora Development Network (ZDDN)
Susan Oldham MIFUMI UK
Background to the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD)
The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) emerged as an outcome of the
UN General Assembly’s High Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in 2006. It is a
state-led, voluntary process dedicated to informal, non-binding and outcomes-oriented
dialogue. Civil society partners, including, migrant and Diaspora organisations, human
rights and development groups are also involved in the process through the two civil
society days held prior to the annual meeting of state representatives. This year, over 800
representatives from civil society and governments from some 160 countries attended.
Each year the GFMD is organised by a different host government. In 2012, the Chair is
held by the Republic of Mauritius. It was the first GFMD to be held in an African country.
The themes for this year were:
Theme 1: Operationalising a Rights-based Approach to Labour Mobility, Markets and
Matching - to enhance human development potential in countries of origin, transit and
destination through migrant skills and job-matching strategies and support to Diaspora.
Working Session 1.A.: Regulating and Monitoring Recruitment, Placement and
Employment Practices
Working Session 1.B.: Improving Jobs, Skills and Education Matching
Theme 2: Operationalising Human Development in International Migration – to
sharpen the practical tools for policy makers to link migration and development; and
address South-South migration and development issues.
Working Session 2.A.: Engaging Diaspora as Entrepreneurs, Social Investors and
Policy Advocates
Working Session 2.B.: Rights-based Development Solutions and Migration
GFMD 2012 Civil Society Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius Page 1
2. Theme 3: Operationalising the Protection of Migrants and their Families - to ensure
migration management policies protect migrants in vulnerable and/or irregular situations,
and protect migrant domestic workers; and to foster more informed, balanced public debate
about migrants and migration.
Working Session 3.A.: Protecting Vulnerable Migrant Workers
Working Session 3.B.: Protecting Migrants in Dire Humanitarian Situations
Diaspora representation at the GFMD civil society days
Comic Relief, as part of the Africa-UK initiative, funded two Diaspora organisations to
attend the 2012 GFMD civil society days in Mauritius to enable greater Diaspora
contribution to the debates which directly affect them. MIFUMI UK and Zambia Diaspora
Development Network (ZDDN) were selected to participate.
1. Organisation profile - MIFUMI UK
MIFUMI UK is a diaspora-led women’s rights and development organisation which has its
roots in Tororo, Eastern Uganda. From its initial aim to provide education to children in
Mifumi village in the late 1980s, MIFUMI has grown into a leading organisation tackling
socio-cultural practices such as bride price and polygamy which further marginalise women
and girls across Africa.
MIFUMI UK’s mission is to work with communities in Africa and Diaspora groups in the UK
to end violence arising from socio-cultural practices which limit the lives of women and girls
across the African continent and within diaspora communities in the UK. MIFUMI UK works
closely with her sister organisation, MIFUMI Uganda, towards achieving this mission in
Africa. MIFUMI envisions a world where women and children live free from violence and
can realise their full potential. To this end, MIFUMI collaborates with partners in Africa and
the UK to champion women and girls’ rights.
2. Organisation Profile – Zambia Diaspora Development Network (ZDDN)
Zambia Diaspora Development Network (ZDDN) is a dynamic UK Diaspora-led non-profit
organisation, which was established to provide a platform, network and forum to facilitate
the effective and cohesive engagement of the UK’s African Diaspora communities with
international development issues. Their focus is to create successful cooperation and
GFMD 2012 Civil Society Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius Page 2
3. learning networks between the UK African Diaspora, and other relevant stakeholders, and
the communities in Africa.
ZDDN is committed to engaging individuals, communities, civil society, private sector and
public institutions in collaborative and capacity building efforts in order to cohesively
contribute to Africa’s sustainable social and economic development. They do not only seek
to engage, unveil and boost the capacity of the Diaspora, but also to establish a network of
key stakeholders. In this way, assets, skills and expertise will be transferred to Africa, while
strong connections will be forged between the communities. The ZDDN platform helps to
enhance African Diaspora’s involvement and participation in shaping development policy
and delivering processes in the UK and Africa.
Themes Attended by MIFUMI and ZDDN
Both UK Diaspora representatives attended:
Theme 2: Operationalising Human Development in International Migration – to
sharpen the practical tools for policy makers to link migration and development; and
address South-South migration and development issues.
Working Session 2.A.: Engaging Diaspora as Entrepreneurs, Social Investors and
Policy Advocates
Working Session 2.B.: Rights-based Development Solutions and Migration
Conference Outputs

Working Session 2.B.: Rights-based Development Solutions and Migration
Part 1 –Changes needed
Changes identified during the session as most urgently needed:
1 Formulating national-level, bilateral policies on migration and development, considering
the promotion of human and migrant rights and achieving human development objectives.
2 Forming and institutionalizing multi-stakeholder partnerships on migration and
development —covering efforts to set global visions and sharing practices on migration
and development, to address the social costs of migration, and to harness the
development potentials of remittances and migrants’ knowledge.
3 Origin and host countries should generate, produce and disseminate migration and
development data. Then produce empirical policy studies on migration and development,
and then feed into or inform migration and development policies especially at the national
level.
4 Governments should initiate global, regional, national, and stakeholder-level policy
advocacy efforts in relation to migration and development.
Part 2 –Tools and mechanism
Tools and mechanisms discussed during the session, whether existing or needed, that can
help in bringing about these changes:
1 Policies (e.g. national) on migration and development, including migrants’ rights, cross
recognition of migrants’ skills, skills matching, and return migration.
2 Multi-stakeholder processes convening government, civil society, diasporas, and other
stakeholders. Working group to analyse migration’s impact on development, and
development’s impact on migration.

consultation to engage migration into the post-MDG discussions / Regional consultative
processes (RCPs), e.g. Inter-African.
Part 3 –Recommendations for Action
Recommendations put forward by the session for concrete follow-up actions, to be taken
by civil society, governments, and other stakeholders:
1 Origin countries to formulate migration and development policies/laws/strategies.
2 Set up multi-stakeholder processes/consultative mechanisms on migration and
development.
3 Create relevant databases, studies and analyses on migration and development. Develop
national-level indicators on migration and development for monitoring purposes.
4 Engaging in the post-2015 MDG discussions at national, regional and international levels.
Part 4 –Benchmarks
Benchmarks against which success can be measured in the next years:
1. At least 30 origin countries to formulate migration and development policies/laws/
strategies.
2. At least 30 countries set up multi-stakeholder processes/consultative mechanisms on
migration and development.
3. At least 10 ten origin and destination countries create relevant databases, studies and
analyses on migration and development. At least 10 origin countries develop national-
level indicators on migration and development for monitoring purposes.
4. By 2013, a policy paper on migration and the MDGs is done and becomes an input
into the post-2015 MDG discussions at national, regional and international levels. By
2013, a global/regional/national conference on migration and the MDGs is or are
convened.
Part 5 –UN High Level Dialogue
One priority recommendation and/or benchmark to be taken up by the UN High Level
Dialogue on International Migration and Development in 2013:
1. Migration and development needs to be included in a new policy framework of
sustainable development goals, agreed by all nations.
GFMD 2012 Civil Society Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius Page 6
7. Key Learning from the Conference
1. Civil society organisations called for full and active participation in the 2013 UN High
Level Dialogue (HLD) on Migration and Development. In addition they called for
opportunities for civil society to speak at plenary sessions and for funds to be made
available for preparatory meetings and participation in the HLD.
2. There was a strong push for more meaningful dialogue and interaction between civil
society and governments especially on the issues of migration and Diaspora
engagement.
3. There need to be greater opportunities for civil society and in particular diaspora
organisations to be involved in this type of international conference. Due to limited
funding GFMD organisers were unable to offer many funded places leading to many
civil society organisations being unable to participate in the event.
4. The role of the Diaspora in development goes far beyond remittances. Governments
could harness this further through the creation of investment opportunities and
policies which made setting up businesses easier, particularly for returning
disaporans.
5. The incoming chair of the GFMD, Sweden, noted that unlocking the potential of
migration was essential for inclusive development. Governments, migrants, migrant
rights organisations and Diaspora organisations all have a role to play. Sweden
takes over the leadership of the GFMD in 2013.
Recommendations from the Conference
The following recommendations for concrete follow-up actions were put forward by civil
society, governments and other stakeholders:
Recommendations from theme 2A: Engaging Diaspora as Entrepreneurs, Social
Investors and Policy Advocates
Forming migration-and-development consultative policy making mechanisms in
origin and destination countries, and mandating migrant / Diaspora participation.
Including diasporas’ priorities and Diaspora investments in development and human
security plans and policies in origin countries.
Support migrants’/Diasporas’ investments and entrepreneurial endeavours through
funds (grants, guarantees), capacity building, business networking and legal
protection.
Enacting dual nationality/citizenship laws.
Formulating laws on mutual recognition of migrants’/Diasporas’ skills.
GFMD 2012 Civil Society Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius Page 7
8. Recommendations from theme 2B: Rights-based development solutions and
migration
Countries of origin to formulate migration and development policies/laws/strategies.
Set up multi-stakeholder processes/consultative mechanisms on migration and
development.
Create relevant databases, studies and analyses on migration and development.
Develop national-level indicators on migration and development for monitoring
purposes.
Engaging in the post-2015 MDG discussions at national, regional and international
levels.
Moving Forward
From January 2013 to June 2014, Sweden will take over Chairmanship of the Global
Forum. This will be an unusually long 18 month Chairmanship. This longer term in office is
due to the fact that no GFMD meeting will take place in 2013 as all stakeholders are
preparing for the UN HLD in New York on 3-4th October 2013. Sweden is looking to focus
on three key objectives concerning the substance, process and impact of the GFMD:
1. Substance – to redouble the efforts to strengthen the development perspective.
2. Process - to reenergise the involvement and ownership by states and seek better
outreach to other stakeholders.
3. Forum’s Sustainable Impact - they hope that the Forum’s sustainable impact on
the global debate can be achieved by more stable and predictable funding, and by
ensuring that the accumulated knowledge and good practice is shared and
implemented more broadly.
The Forum’s substantive outcomes could in particular feed into the High-level Dialogue in
2013, into the 2014 follow-up of the Cairo International Conference on Population and
Development, and into the debate that has started regarding the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) and the UN development agenda beyond 2015.
Turkey has offered to take over the GFMD Chairmanship after Sweden.

Volunteering Alliance (DVA) – ZDDN is also part of the Enough Food for Everyone
IF Campaign, a huge coalition of UK-based organisations who share the vision of a
world where everyone has enough to eat.
Strengthen advocacy efforts through increased engagement of policy-makers and
governments
ZDDN could collaborate with other Diaspora organisations that are involved with
GFMD Civil Society Days 2012 or whose works is linked to the focus areas of the
conference.

GFMD 2012 Civil Society Days 19th – 21st November, 2012 Port Louis, Mauritius Page 9
10. Recommendations for Diaspora organisations
Make ourselves unavoidable – Diaspora organisations should not just fade into the
background but rather they should stand up as a united, visible and unavoidable
force
Learn the tools for engaging governments and policymakers
Invite ourselves to the debate – Diaspora organisations should be proactive rather
than reactive
Create awareness of GFMD to further increase participation by Diaspora and non-
Diaspora organisations
Engage and collaborate with international organisations such as the Pan-African
Network – creating greater strength in numbers and opportunities for learning /
exchange
Civil Society organisations should seek UN accreditation were appropriate
Link up and share knowledge with other Diaspora organisation in the EU
Recommendations for Other Stakeholders
More partnership working between Governments and Diaspora organisations is
needed
Both Governments from Countries of Origin(CoO) and Country of Destination (CoD)
to help in creating an enabling environment for Diaspora engagement
CoO and CoD to actively assist in dispelling the negative image perception of the
Diaspora
Media in CoO and CoD to desist from constantly portraying the Diaspora in a
negative manner
Policy coherence is key when mainstreaming migration into development policy and
vice versa
Policy frameworks must be adapted to take full advantage of the potential of
migrants to contribute to development.
Remittances, labour migration and circular forms of mobility, labour market
matching, and the Diaspora networks that stimulate entrepreneurship, trade and
investments, can all contribute to positive development outcomes.
