The survey summarizes the key findings of the Study of Private Perceptions of Corruption (STOPP) survey conducted in Mongolia. It found that small and medium businesses suffer more from corruption than large businesses. The government agencies creating the most obstacles for businesses were reported as the Tax Office, Specialized Inspection Agency, and Customs. Despite anti-corruption efforts, there was little awareness of these efforts among the business community.

Day 2: Workshop: Citizen engagement strategies and social media, Mr. Andy Wil...wepc2016
Dr. Andy Williamson gave a workshop on citizen engagement strategies and social media for parliaments. Social media is now more widely used by parliaments than third party media. However, using social media appropriately requires balancing it with traditional engagement methods. The workshop covered understanding audiences, challenges of social media use, and examples of tools for communication, engagement, deliberation and decision making. Emerging trends include richer multi-channel engagement and data, virtual access, more deliberative processes, and new decision making technologies.
I put together this presentation for my local Meetup to show attendees the marketing lessons I gleaned from this past 2016 presidential election.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
This is NOT about politics. It's about how the two main candidates (Trump and Clinton) SOLD their vision.
Or how they didn't. Or how one did better than the other and consequently moved more people in the battleground states to win.
I won't tell you here - look at the presentation and tell me what you think.
Revolution in Election System using Big Data AnalyticsMphasis
This document proposes a new system for elections using big data analytics to address issues with the current ballot system.

The document outlines the technical details of how the system would integrate mobile devices, embedded systems, and big data to securely collect and count votes via SMS in real-time.

Obama - Best Integrated Marketing Communications Campaign in 2008Lance Shields
This is a term paper written for a MBA marketing class. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation nominate the campaign of presidential candidate Barack Obama for best integrated marketing communications campaign in 2008. On first consideration for this paper, choosing a company or product for best IMC campaign made sense. But in 2008, an underdog brand, an African-American, a first-term Democratic senator, and a politician chosen as most liberal in Congress at a time when rightwing politics reigned, Obama ignited the country and won the election with what I believe was the best communications campaign of the year and possibly one of the best political campaigns in U.S. history. And like any powerful brand, this paper will attempt to show through the one-third principle approach how Obama’s campaign succeeded to win the minds and hearts of Americans.

This document discusses systematic reviews (SRs) as a tool to evaluate the impact of development interventions. It notes calls from funders to demonstrate what works using evidence-based approaches.

The document summarizes a SR conducted by the authors on the impact of microfinance in sub-Saharan Africa. It took a pragmatic approach, including a variety of study designs and developing a causal pathway to understand impact. The SR found microfinance has the potential to benefit the poor but also identified challenges, calling for more and better evaluations.

The most attractive target, a pharmaceutical IT company, is identified based on organizational compatibility, synergy, and financial considerations.
The document outlines key concepts from Chapter 3 of Strategic Management: Concepts and Cases including performing an external audit to identify opportunities and threats. It discusses evaluating economic, social/demographic, political/legal, technological, and competitive forces using tools like Porter's Five Forces model and the External Factor Evaluation matrix. The purpose is to understand the external environment and its impact on an organization's strategy.
Randomized Controlled Trials: Insights for Civic Tech Andrew Westbury
Randomized controlled trials – or RCTs – have dramatically changed the development landscape, casting doubt on the effectiveness of accepted strategies – like microfinance – and identifying the value of previously-unorthodox activities, like unconditional cash transfers.
However, what have these powerful tools taught us about state capacity, government accountability, and responsiveness? Moreover, what does the RCT literature tell us about the use of technology to improve public services and galvanize citizen groups?
Unfortunately, state capacity and government accountability are some of the least-researched areas of international development. The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) reports that less than 3% of registered impact evaluations focus on governance-related issues.
Moreover, a review of 175 recent RCTs identified only approximately 30 that included a specific tech-focus and few of these evaluated used tech from the “bottom-up” to catalyse community-action, peer-to-peer collaboration, and citizen-led efforts to address civic issues.
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at UC-Berkeley has recently launched a multi-year effort to support randomised evaluations of governance interventions around the world. As a part of this process, CEGA this year published a white paper, surveying over 200 recent impact evaluations on governance issues to identify “what works” and highlight open research questions.
Randomised control trials: lessons for Civic Tech - Andrew Westbury (Center f...mysociety
The document summarizes insights from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that can inform civic technology. It discusses how the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) conducts RCTs to test institutional reforms and provides three examples of information-based RCTs. One study in Brazil found that providing municipal audits led citizens to hold governments more accountable. A study in the Philippines found that providing voter information increased knowledge but also increased vote buying. A study in Sierra Leone found that political debates increased campaigning efforts. The document suggests civic technology could help enable more such studies and notes areas of potential partnership between researchers and practitioners.
Public Sector Reform: Challenges and Prospects in Ghana and BeyondEffectiveStates
The document discusses public sector reform challenges and prospects in Ghana and beyond. It covers several key topics:
1) The failure of past public sector reform (PSR) efforts in many countries in Africa and elsewhere, as shown by governance indicators and evaluations that found limited impact.
2) The "old" political challenges to reform, including patronage-based political systems, neo-patrimonialism, and the political and moral economies that resist anti-reform.
3) New approaches to PSR that have emerged, such as those focused on leadership, social accountability, and policy experimentation, but which still face challenges in addressing the deep-seated political issues.
