Ramping Up Information and Communications Technology for DevelopmentOlivier Serrat
ADB's ICTD Team Work Plan, 2016–2017 aims to identify ICT options in ADB's operations, diversify ICT portfolios in ADB's operations, develop ADB's capacity for ICT operations, and leverage knowledge partnerships in ICT.
The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets. Building post-2015 on the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals, but cognizant also of their shortcomings, they combine economic, environmental, and social goals that now apply to all countries. They were developed in a broad two-year consultation process during which civil society, citizens, academics, scientists, and the private sector of all countries had the opportunity to contribute.

Science, technology, and innovation have become part of everyday life. However, there are instances where they encourage the use and abuse of natural resources. How might science, technology, and innovation be harnessed for people, planet, and profit to deliver sustainable methods and minimize environmental harm? How might business lend a hand?

Investment in science, technology and innovation (STI) needs to be the backbone of productivity-led economic
recovery and sustainable development. Despite significant increases in productivity over the past few decades,
economic growth in developing economies of Asia and the Pacific has been primarily driven by factor
accumulation. However, the average rate of productivity growth slowed between the periods 2000-2007 and
2008-2014 by 65 per cent, which has contributed to the current economic slowdown, potentially undermining
efforts to effectively pursue the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
As part of its overall mission of promoting the well-being of humanity throughout the world, The Rockefeller Foundation developed the goal of advancing inclusive economies. The framing of this goal is deliberate: the word inclusive stresses the need to overcome disadvantage while the choice of economies versus growth suggests the need to consider all dimensions of economic life. This executive summary outlines efforts to develop a framework to better understand and measure the characteristics of an inclusive economy. It includes:
• The evolution of the concept of an inclusive economy
• Key lessons learned from an analysis of indicator initiatives
related to measuring an inclusive economy
• A recommended indicator framework composed of 5 broad
characteristics, 15 sub-categories, and 57 indicators
• Implications for future work

The implementation of the SDGs is a demanding task for developed and developing countries alike. Where does Africa stand today? What does the future hold for its 54 countries?
OPPORTUNITIES IN HUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Educators must be transformed from those who impart knowledge to those who facilitate learning. Curricula must be transformed from mechanisms to deliver facts into mechanisms to promote and facilitate learning and thinking.
Experts assert that a Competency-based Approach to curriculum development can facilitate this transformation. Education and training integrated (a sound general education and broad-based initial training are essential bases for lifelong continuing learning).

Recognition of the need to focus both on formal and informal sectors
Training for wage and self-employment
Decentralized system requiring both strong national and decentralized institutions

A project on the changing nature of workHarrisonObi1
This is a project piece based on the changing nature of work that highlights the possible intervention measures by the government to develop human capital in Nigeria.
My target audience is the Nigerian government and lawmakers highlighting ways in which human capital can be developed in the country. These include building better and reliable infrastructures in the country. There is poor road network around the states, epileptic energy supply, poor health centres to mention a few. These sectors and facilities need to be put in place to promote and sustain human capital investments in the country.
Also, rigorous awareness programs need to be developed to ensure no one is left out most especially in rural areas and villages.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

Two-thirds of all jobs that currently exist in developing countries will be wiped out by automation. In
Ethiopia, 85% of jobs are vulnerable, compared to 77% in China and 72% in Thailand.
Job creation as the result of competing forces in technology
10
11. • Firms can grow rapidly thanks to digital
transformation—This blurs their boundaries and
challenges traditional production
patterns.
• Technology is changing the skills that
employers seek—Workers need to be good at
complex problem-solving, teamwork and
adaptability.
• Technology is changing how people work and
the terms on which they work—Even in
advanced economies, short-term work,
often found through online platforms, is
posing similar challenges to those
faced by the world’s informal workers.
The Changing Nature of Work
11
12. The risk of rising inequality is evident due to the declining shares of
(routine) labor in national income, and to the “polarization” of the
labor market – that is, the declining employment in middle-skilled
occupations relative to those in low- and high-skilled ones, and the
heightened competition for low-skilled jobs.
Labor shares in national
Income are falling in many countries,
Including some developing countries
Reshaping of
the labor
market
12
13. Investing in human capital is the priority to make the
most of this evolving economic opportunity. Three
types of skills are increasingly important in labor
markets:
• advanced cognitive skills such as complex problem-
solving;
• sociobehavioral skills such as teamwork;
• skill combinations that are predictive of adaptability
such as reasoning and self-efficacy.
Building these skills requires strong human capital
foundations and lifelong learning.

On the left side are old industries, where some workers are being replaced by robots. This change is animating research and policy discussions in the United States and Europe. On the right are jobs in new sectors arising from innovation. In emerging markets like India or China these jobs easily outpace the jobs which are and will be lost as a result of automation. In these countries, creating the next new sector is the craze.
