2015 ReSAKSS Conference – Day 1 - Stephen Mink
2015 ReSAKSS Conference – Day 1 - Stephen MinkAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document discusses two questions: how governments have used recent Agriculture Public Expenditure Reviews (Ag PERs), and how to make Ag PERs more useful. It finds that Ag PERs have been used to improve strategic planning, expenditure levels and composition, budget processes, communications and accountability, and mobilize external finance. However, some problem areas identified in Ag PERs have not been acted upon, such as whether recurrent budgets are sufficient to sustain investment scale-up or provide essential public services. It also notes challenges in coordinating central and devolved expenditure authorities and linking expenditure to sector outcomes. Solutions proposed include routine "Ag PER Lite" analyses, strengthening analytical capacity, and improving data and monitoring and evaluation systems.ACEEE Support for State Energy Offices
The document summarizes the work of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) in researching and promoting energy efficiency. It discusses ACEEE's focus on the economic and environmental benefits of efficiency. It also provides statistics on rising utility spending on efficiency programs, existing state energy efficiency policies, and opportunities for further progress in areas like rural energy use and assistance to low-income households.

Simon Bawakyillenuo - Green Growth Diagnostics for Africa
The document provides a political economy analysis of the binding constraints to renewable energy investment in Ghana. It identifies the main constraints as the financial instability of the off-taker, faulty power sector regulation, and lack of access to appropriate finance. Potential policies to address these include privatizing the revenue arm of the power sector, establishing a competitive off-taker market, and creating renewable energy financial instruments. However, stakeholders have differing views on these policies and their implementation faces challenges such as ideological opposition, lack of political will, and concerns over cost increases.
Social Protection System in Rwanda
The document summarizes Rwanda's social protection system, which has evolved from fragmented projects to a more coordinated set of programs under a national strategy. It describes the flagship Vision 2020 Umurenge Program (VUP) and other key programs, their targeting mechanisms, numbers of beneficiaries, and management. Challenges to sustainability include fiscal constraints, coordination across agencies, and increasing coverage of social assistance and insurance programs. Key factors in the system's success have been strong government commitment, donor support, effective implementation structures, and accountability mechanisms.

Building Social Protection Systems: Mechanism for Harmonization (Ethiopia)
Building Social Protection Systems: Mechanism for Harmonization (Ethiopia)Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank
(1) Ethiopia previously relied on an emergency relief system to help 5-14 million food insecure people annually, but it was ineffective and led to asset depletion; (2) The PSNP/HABP was created in 2005 as a coordinated, government-led program to provide predictable cash and food transfers to 7.6 million chronically needy people across 319 districts; (3) Key coordination mechanisms include pooled funding, joint monitoring and evaluation, and regular joint review missions between the government and development partners.Resource roundup – national governors association
The document discusses the National Governors Association's Policy Academy on Industrial Energy Efficiency. It provides an overview of the NGA and what a policy academy is. It then explains that the industrial sector offers a significant opportunity for low-cost energy efficiency but has seen little progress in the South. The academy helped three southern states - Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas - develop state action plans and policies to promote industrial energy efficiency. Key outcomes included new state websites, working groups, education and outreach programs, and a focus on financing approaches and partnerships to engage local industry.
Building Social Protection and Labor Systems
Building Social Protection and Labor SystemsHealth, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank
The document discusses building social protection and labor systems through a harmonized approach. It outlines the World Bank's strategy to move from fragmented programs to coherent systems. These systems are portfolios of programs that communicate, often share administrative systems, and work together to provide resilience, equity and opportunity. Two pillars support this agenda: ASPIRE, a global database for benchmarking social protection programs, and SPARCS, an assessment tool to evaluate country systems and guide development. SPARCS uses common methodologies to generate assessments that can be shared, facilitating global learning. The document provides examples of operationalizing a systems approach at both administrative and program levels in various countries.Romania: energy poverty and the vulnerable consumer. How far are we from Europe?
This document discusses energy poverty and vulnerable consumers in Romania. It outlines a 12-month study funded by ENEL Romania and conducted in partnership with Deloitte Romania to analyze energy poverty in Romania, conduct field research, and engage decision-makers. The study finds that while Romania's main tool for addressing energy poverty is heating aid, only 20% of those in energy vulnerability are targeted, and wealthier groups are disproportionately assisted. It recommends establishing a national forum to define clear criteria for assistance, developing a long-term action plan focused on energy efficiency, and ensuring universal access to electricity.

This document discusses the role of Joint Sector Reviews (JSRs) in supporting the Malabo Biennial Review process for mutual accountability in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). It defines mutual accountability and outlines the principles and roadmap for undertaking JSRs at the country level. JSRs create a platform to assess agricultural sector performance, results, and implementation of commitments. The document also discusses the initiation process for country JSRs, partnerships to support JSR implementation, progress on JSR assessments, and the processes for JSR reporting and reviews at the country, regional, and continental levels to feed into the Malabo Biennial Review.2015 ReSAKSS Conference – Day 1 - Sam Benin
2015 ReSAKSS Conference – Day 1 - Sam BeninAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
- Joint Sector Reviews (JSRs) in countries like Ghana and Rwanda assess progress and support accountability in the agriculture sector.
- Agriculture Public Expenditure Reviews (AgPERs) can provide essential outputs to inform specific objectives of JSRs, such as expenditures on value chains, technologies, and sector priorities.
- However, AgPERs are sometimes inadequate, providing lists of achievements without corresponding budget or expenditure information.
- For comprehensive accountability analysis, future AgPERs should include more frequent, flexible analyses of effectiveness and efficiency, while also capturing reliable expenditure data from all major stakeholders, not just government.The CARICOM Energy Transition
In the context of sustainable energy transition in CARICOM, this presentation discusses, where we were, and where we are today and identifies issues, challenges, and opportunities along the way. Delivered by Joseph Williams, Sustainable Energy Advisor, Renewable Energy/ Energy Efficiency Unit, CDB at the Fifth Caribbean Sustainable Energy Forum in the Bahamas from January 23-25, 2017.

2015 ReSAKSS Conference – Day 1 - Dieter OrlowskiAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document introduces the "AgPER Lite" approach for conducting regular, lighter and quicker annual public expenditure analyses in agriculture to support better budgeting and policy decisions. Key points:
- AgPER Lite analyses would focus on major expenditure changes and currently debated issues, using up-to-date data from a reliable source.
- The analyses would have separate sections for data/trends (updated annually) and a re-written key analysis section each year.
- 2-3 agricultural expenditure "issues" would be selected each year related to policy effectiveness and linked to performance reviews or budget preparation.
- The analyses could be conducted with around 3 months effort by 3 people per year, establishing reusable dataFuel Poverty and Energy Justice in the UK Nations
This document discusses a study on fuel poverty and energy justice policy in the UK nations from 2012 to 2017. The study included documentary analysis and 35 interviews with government departments, regulators, consumer advocates, campaign groups, parliamentary committees, and firms. Emerging findings include that a change in the English definition of fuel poverty has not led to apparent divergence yet. Price regulation and energy prices are seen as more central issues in an era when schemes have addressed easier homes to treat. Concerns about distributional, procedural, and recognition justice relating to funding policy, technical focus, and austerity impacts were also found. The study examines expertise, empathy, and the fuel poverty policy system across public and private institutions and organizations.
Shaping the Tradability of US Energy Efficiency
The document summarizes a webinar about the National Energy Efficiency Registry (NEER) project. It provides an overview of the NEER, which aims to create a central repository to track energy efficiency projects and attributes. This would allow energy savings to be traded and support compliance with regulations like the Clean Power Plan. The webinar discusses Minnesota's role in providing input and stakeholder engagement. It also covers the development process, including establishing principles and rules with a multi-stakeholder working group over the next year. Panelists from Minnesota, The Climate Registry and E4TheFuture then presented on topics like how an energy efficiency provider could use the NEER and options for quality assurance and verification protocols.

Egk 2012 eskinder mamo, daesav
This document discusses how Ethiopia has experienced significant brain drain over the past few decades but is now working to turn that into brain gain by leveraging its diaspora experts. It notes that Ethiopia lost 75% of its skilled workforce between 1980-1991 and now has over 300,000 professionals residing outside of Africa. To address shortages of academics and challenges in higher education from increasing student numbers, Ethiopia is using technology like video conferencing and establishing diaspora organizations to facilitate remote supervision, mentoring, knowledge transfer and short visits by experts abroad. This allows diaspora members to contribute without permanent return and helps turn migration from a brain drain into a brain gain for Ethiopia's development.

These are the slides for the presentation, "Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend applications" that was presented at QA or the Highway 2024 in Columbus, OH by Zachary Hamm.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Connector Corner: Seamlessly power UiPath Apps, GenAI with prebuilt connectors
Join us to learn how UiPath Apps can directly and easily interact with prebuilt connectors via Integration Service--including Salesforce, ServiceNow, Open GenAI, and more.

By seamlessly integrating within App Studio, you can now easily streamline your workflow, while gaining direct access to our Connector Catalog of popular applications.
We’ll discuss and demo the benefits of UiPath Apps and connectors including:
Creating a compelling user experience for any software, without the limitations of APIs.
Accelerating the app creation process, saving time and effort
Enjoying high-performance CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations, for
seamless data management.
