The document provides an overview of international development news and issues from December 2014. It discusses several topics:
- Improved economic management in Africa has contributed to recent growth but debt problems persist if not properly managed.
- The Ebola outbreak is draining budgets in West Africa and increasing countries' dependence on foreign aid as they see slower growth and increased spending needs.
- The UK is sending experts to help the Philippines strengthen weather forecasting capacity after Typhoon Haiyan to help with disaster preparedness.
The document provides an introduction to the concept of "the last mile" in the context of achieving sustainable and inclusive development in Least Developed Countries. It defines the last mile as referring not only to the poorest people but also underserved communities, households, and small businesses where needs are greatest and resources are scarcest. Reaching the last mile is important for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals' vision of leaving no one behind. While many countries have reduced poverty significantly, exclusions and inequalities mean some segments of societies have not benefited. New approaches are needed that prioritize and target the last mile to ensure inclusive growth.
The document discusses the impact of the global financial crisis on progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It finds that while some goals saw early progress, most countries are now off track. The financial crisis threatens to slow or reverse gains by reducing economic growth, tax revenues, remittances, trade, and foreign aid. It could push tens of millions more into poverty and negatively impact health, education, and other development indicators. Responses are needed, including increased foreign aid, fiscal stimulus in developing countries, and protecting social spending.
Kenya has transitioned to lower-middle income status but still faces health challenges, with 43% living on less than $1.25 per day and poor coverage and access in some areas. The report examines financing options for health in Kenya as it aims to achieve universal health coverage. It looks at the balance between domestic resource mobilization and funding from donors, finding that both will be needed to close funding gaps and reduce the unmet need for health services. Recommendations include increasing domestic revenues through taxes and efficiency while donors avoid withdrawing support too quickly as most developing countries will still need assistance for many years.

Today, 54 per cent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66 per cent by 2050. Projections show that urbanization combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban populations by 2050, with close to 90 percent of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa, according to a new United Nations report launched on 10 July 2014.

What Influences U.S Official Development Aid to Nigeria? iosrjce
It is generally believed that aid is a charity from the rich to the poor countries to help the poor
overcome their development problems. As a result of this, a number of erroneous beliefs now surround the issue
of foreign aid from the donor countries (rich) to the developing countries. Despite these beliefs, U.S aid to
Nigeria has been significant especially since the country returned to democracy. Late 2014, U.S promised to
increase the aid to Nigeria to about $720m. It is on this that this study sought to investigate the factors
influencing the increase in U.S aid to Nigeria during the period of 1980-2013. The theoretical analysis rests on
two-gap model and combines several methods of econometrics. The findings shows that aid flow to the country
are influenced by the variables: unemployment, poverty rate, population growth rate, demographic factors
proxy by the number of people living with HIV as well as the growth rate of GDP per capita. Based on the
results, the author then suggests that aid flow to the country should be properly managed to achieve the
objectives at which aid is being allocated to the country.
The Millennium Development Goals Report 2012 was launched in New York by the Secretary-General on 2 July 2012. The report presents the yearly assessment of global progress towards the MDGs, highlighting several milestones – three important MDG targets have been met well ahead of the target date of 2015. The report says that meeting the remaining targets, while challenging, remain possible - but only if Governments do not waiver from their commitments made over a decade ago. The report is based on a master set of data compiled by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG indicators led by the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans and financial assistance to developing countries for programs aimed at reducing poverty. It consists of two institutions - the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association. The World Bank's goal is poverty reduction and its decisions must promote foreign investment, international trade, and capital investment. The World Bank is led by a President nominated by the United States and includes Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, and Vice Presidents who manage different regions, sectors, and functions. Voting power at the World Bank has shifted to give more influence to emerging economies like China.
Working paper 181 determining the correlates of poverty for inclusive growt...Dr Lendy Spires
This document examines the correlates of poverty in Africa using multivariate models and data from 43 African countries from 1980 to 2011. It finds that higher income inequality, primary education alone, mineral rents, inflation, and population increase poverty, while higher GDP, foreign aid, and secondary education reduce poverty. Trade openness did not significantly impact poverty. The results can inform policies to promote more inclusive growth in Africa and reduce poverty faster.

It argues that empowering women could further economic growth and lower population growth. The paper is divided into sections on foreign aid and development, past foreign aid and its impacts in India, and a proposed solution to empower women through carefully implemented foreign aid.
An assessment of national poverty eradication programme on wealth creation in...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that assessed the impact of Nigeria's National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) on wealth creation in Benue State. The study found that NAPEP's strategies have not significantly improved beneficiaries' lives. While some received skills training, few received follow-up loans or credits to start businesses. As a result, most beneficiaries reported that NAPEP had no real impact in reducing their poverty. The study concludes that poverty reduction strategies in Nigeria have generally failed due to problems like corruption, poor funding, weak monitoring and lack of stakeholder involvement in policymaking.
Foreign aid trade and development form the SIIAZoely Mamizaka
This document provides an overview of East Asian engagement in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on China, Japan, and South Korea. It examines how their increasing presence through foreign aid, trade, and investment affects local politics, civil society, and efforts toward good governance and sustainable development. Through interviews with stakeholders in Zambia, Mozambique, and Uganda, the document explores perceptions of Asian engagement and its alignment with international agreements. A case study also analyzes South Korea's new cooperation strategy in Africa. The findings seek to provide insight into both the opportunities and challenges of Asia's rising strategic influence in the region.
The document discusses the exploitation of natural resources in Southern Africa and its potential to promote inclusive growth in the region. It provides an overview of the main natural resource sectors, including minerals, oil and gas, and forests. While resource extraction has fueled economic growth, this growth has not addressed socioeconomic challenges like poverty, inequality and unemployment. The document analyzes how natural resource revenues can be better utilized to create jobs, economic opportunities, and reduce poverty and inequality through developing value chains, infrastructure, fiscal policy reforms, and diversifying economies. It provides recommendations for governments and partners to strengthen the contribution of natural resources to inclusive and sustainable development.

The document summarizes research on the relationship between economic growth and poverty in Nigeria. It finds that while Nigeria's GDP per capita grew by nearly 70% from 1992-2009, the poverty rate only declined by 6% over this period. Several factors are hypothesized to influence this relationship, including high income inequality, Nigeria's reliance on the oil sector for growth, high unemployment, corruption, and poor education and health outcomes. The growth elasticity of poverty in Nigeria is found to vary widely depending on the time period studied, suggesting economic growth has not consistently led to reductions in poverty.
Economics problems and prospects of BangladeshShamsul Huda
Bangladesh faces several economic problems including overpopulation, natural disasters, political instability, inequality, and corruption. However, it also has several promising economic sectors. Remittances from overseas workers and the ready-made garment industry have been major drivers of GDP growth. Other industries with prospects for growth include pharmaceuticals, jute products, leather goods, light electronics, frozen foods, shipbuilding, telecommunications, and tourism. Developing these sectors could help address Bangladesh's economic challenges.
Governance and International Assistance for Building Human Development: A Rev...AJHSSR Journal
As part of the poverty reduction strategies and human developments, various levels of
governments across the third world countries including Nigeria are now collaborating international
organisations through some organs of the United Nations (UN) that focuses on social programmes such as
United Nation Development Programme (UNDP).To determine the awareness and the extent at which these
programmes have impacted on the people in Nigeria particularly Ekiti state, the study adopted survey research
method where questionnaire were administered among the actors involved and the beneficiaries of the
programmes from Ekiti state. The study found that, the impact of UNDP programmes on the people were not
effectively felt because both the policies and projects of UNDP are not well articulated in the study area.
This document summarizes a story about a cursed town called Charm, Ohio. A medium named Cassia was hung after being cursed and accused of fraud. After her death, strange events began occurring in town. The curse seems to target those who have wronged Cassia or committed crimes. The story then introduces several characters, including Stella and her children Caddy and the strange boy Colin, who some believe to have "the devil's mark." Tragedies befall many of the characters. The town and Stella's house where Caddy and her children later live seem to be haunted by dark secrets and ghosts from the past.

This document discusses technology education and its importance for students. It defines technology as the application of knowledge, resources, materials, tools, and information to extend human capabilities and control the natural and human-made environments. It then provides examples of technology projects for students, outlining the six step project method of describing problems, researching solutions, designing, planning, constructing, and evaluating projects. The document argues that technology education teaches real-world problem solving skills across different subjects and improves student motivation by applying classroom knowledge to tangible problems. It also helps students learn teamwork and communication through group projects.
Sanitation in personal and public life is a joint responsibility between individuals, communities, and the state. 'We The People' (WTP) is a voluntary organization formed in 1993 to improve lives at the grassroots level by linking individuals, corporations, and local governments. WTP assesses needs, identifies obstacles to service delivery, and works to facilitate effective assistance. Key issues in India include a lack of toilets in many schools and households, with open defecation impacting health. Solutions offered include ferrocement leach pit technology from FECCOS and biogas-producing biotoilets from Caparo that convert human waste to potable water and fuel without treatment plants or pollution.
This document discusses the concept of inductive theory building in social sciences. It argues that theory building should be inductive rather than deductive. It critiques contemporary philosophy of science, such as Popper's falsifiability theory, for rejecting induction and embracing deduction. The document provides historical examples of successful inductive theory building in sciences, including Aristotle, Bacon, Newton, and theories in psychology. It concludes by suggesting guidelines for inductive theory building and policies journal editors could adopt to encourage this approach.
This document discusses the growth and impact of NGOs in Kenya. It notes that since 1990, over 8,500 organizations have registered as NGOs in Kenya. NGOs contribute over 80 billion Kenyan shillings annually to the economy and employ over 200,000 people. However, accurate data on NGO funding and activities is still limited due to low compliance with reporting requirements. The document examines trends in NGO funding sources, expenditures, collaborations, and training to provide insight into the scale and focus of the NGO sector in Kenya.
"The future of healthcare in Africa: progress on five healthcare scenarios", a new report written by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by Janssen, explores Africa's recent progress on several major healthcare challenges. The report looks at the continent's increasing focus on primary and preventive care, the empowerment of communities as healthcare providers, the extension of universal healthcare, the spread of telemedicine, and the role of international donors.
Africas natural resources could dramatically improve the lives of millionsDr Lendy Spires
The document summarizes the 2013 Africa Progress Report which finds that while Africa has experienced economic growth fueled by natural resources, most Africans have not benefited and inequality is increasing. It calls on African governments to invest natural resource revenues in social services to create jobs and opportunities. It also calls on international partners to address tax avoidance and increase transparency around corporate deals to ensure African nations receive their fair share of resource revenues.
Trade and Development Bank donates half a million dollars to COVID-19 respons...SABC News
The Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB) has donated $500,000 to support Africa's COVID-19 response led by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC). The donation will help implement the Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19, which aims to prevent illness and death from the virus and minimize social and economic impacts. TDB's President said the pooling of global and African resources is crucial to stopping the spread of the virus and mitigating its effects. The Africa CDC Director thanked TDB for its partnership and solidarity in reinforcing African health systems during the pandemic.
The document discusses progress on five future healthcare scenarios in Africa that were previously explored:
1) Preventive care has improved but rural-urban divides persist due to infrastructure and workforce challenges.
2) Business input and community empowerment models are developing through public-private partnerships and training of new healthcare worker tiers.
3) Several countries have advanced universal health coverage through insurance schemes but challenges remain in expanding coverage and improving quality.
4) Telemedicine has grown but infrastructure limitations remain, though mobile technologies are expanding access to care and insurance.
5) International donors seek greater impact through support for universal coverage and cash-strapped governments but roles remain crucial given funding shortfalls.

This document outlines a presentation on strategically advancing social protection policies in Africa. It discusses the current context of economic growth and rising inequality in many African countries. It then reviews existing evidence and knowledge on social protection programs in Africa, which still only reach a small portion of those in need. The presentation argues for turning research into policy action through a dedicated forum or "Utafiti Sera" that brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. Its expected outcomes include legislation to strengthen social protection systems and universalize certain cash transfer programs in Kenya.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa, bordered by Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. Its capital and largest city is Lilongwe. Malawi faces challenges of poverty, disease, and lack of economic opportunity. To address these issues, investments in education could help raise literacy and understanding of health issues. Improving public financial management through auditing, transparency, and international accounting standards could also strengthen governance and encourage private sector investment for sustainable development.
Sustaining the HIV/AIDS Response in Dominica: Investment CaseHFG Project
The document summarizes an analysis of the HIV epidemic and response in Dominica using the Goals model. Three scenarios were modeled: 1) maintenance of current programs, 2) scale-up to levels outlined in the national strategic plan, and 3) achieving 90-90-90 targets by 2020. The analysis estimates the impact on new infections, deaths, and people receiving ART under each scenario. It also projects the financial resources needed and potential funding gaps for Dominica's HIV response through 2020. The results are intended to help prioritize resource allocation and identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and impact of Dominica's national HIV/AIDS program.
The SHOPS project implemented a 5-year program in Namibia from 2010-2015 with three main goals: 1) Support the creation of an enabling environment for public-private partnerships, 2) Strengthen the role of private health providers in male circumcision, and 3) Increase commercialization of NGOs. The program worked to develop a public-private partnership framework, mapped private health services, trained private providers in male circumcision, established networks of circumcision providers, and piloted NGO commercialization through corporate partnerships. Key lessons included the importance of collaboration between public and private sectors, the need for technical assistance to support NGO commercialization, and using existing systems and incentives to engage private providers in expanding health services
This document discusses the links between population dynamics, climate change, and sustainable development in Africa. It finds that Sub-Saharan Africa's population is growing rapidly, driven by high fertility rates, and is projected to double by 2050. Rapid population growth and climate change are exacerbating environmental degradation on the continent and undermining development efforts. The document examines these links through case studies of Kenya and Malawi and recommends that governments and donors invest more in integrated population, climate change, and development policies and programs. Addressing population challenges, such as by expanding access to family planning, can increase resilience to climate change impacts and help achieve sustainable development goals.

This document provides an overview of the Office of Financial Resources' (OFR) activities and contributions to the Ebola response efforts in fiscal year 2015. It details how OFR staff processed over 800 emergency requests, obligated over $428 million in Ebola-related grants, and deployed over 50 staff domestically and internationally to help manage financial resources and support for the Ebola response. Key accomplishments included quickly purchasing personal protective equipment, issuing supplemental funding opportunities, and establishing financial tracking systems in West Africa.
This document provides an overview of how microfinance services can help address the economic impacts of HIV/AIDS. It discusses how HIV/AIDS affects households economically, forcing them to utilize coping strategies like taking children out of school, selling assets, or taking on debt. Microfinance can help strengthen households' ability to manage risks and losses by helping them generate income, build savings, and avoid selling productive assets. While microfinance should not explicitly target HIV-positive individuals, targeting areas with high HIV prevalence can help the families and communities impacted. The document argues microfinance has a comparative advantage over other interventions in mitigating HIV/AIDS' economic effects through increasing income, providing secure savings, and reducing vulnerability.
Unsgsa annual report september 2014 financial inclusion a path to empowerment...Dr Lendy Spires
The document provides an overview of progress on financial inclusion globally and in various countries over the past year. Some key points include:
- Financial inclusion has moved into the crucial implementation phase in many countries, though progress must still be accelerated to achieve development goals.
- Around 50 countries have made high-level commitments to advance financial inclusion through national strategies and targets. Tanzania has already surpassed its target of 50% access by 2016, reaching 57%.
- Innovations like mobile money, agent banking, and digital payments are expanding access, particularly in remote areas. The number of active mobile money accounts grew to over 60 million globally.
- Countries are also working to improve financial education and consumer protection as
Pushing the employment frontiers for Africa's rural and urban youth should be a top priority for African policymakers in 2014. Africa's working age population is growing rapidly but private sector job growth has not kept pace, leaving many without income. Successful strategies will need to be tailored to different contexts and include vocational skills training, access to capital, and boosting key sectors like agriculture. Investing in infrastructure, girls' education, and better employment data can also support job creation across Africa. Addressing youth unemployment at scale requires coordinated action across many fronts.
Recovery plan announcement by president RamaphosaSABC News
The document is President Cyril Ramaphosa's address to Parliament outlining South Africa's economic reconstruction and recovery plan in response to the economic devastation caused by COVID-19. The key points are:
- The plan aims to create jobs through infrastructure investment and employment programs, reindustrialize the economy, accelerate economic reforms, fight crime and corruption, and improve state capability.
- South Africa implemented a large social and economic relief package worth R500 billion (10% of GDP) to support individuals, workers and businesses during the pandemic.
- The economic damage from COVID-19 includes over 2 million job losses, a 16.4% contraction in GDP, and large losses in tax revenue.

Dr. Caleb Fundanga, who took over as director of the Macroeconomic and Financial
Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa (MEFMI) in July, said that Africa’s recent

According to her, although the organization was established to help countries manage their
management. Speaking at MEFMI’s combined forum in Washington, DC on October 6, he said:
“Unless economies are properly managed, the debt problem will continue recurring. Much of the
growth that we’ve seen in our countries has been because there has been an improvement in the
way we manage our economies.”
MEFMI, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, had played its part in these
improvements, he added, by organizing courses in macroeconomic management, monetary
policy, reserves management and bank supervision. As a result, central banks in MEFMI
member countries were now able to spot emerging problems in the banking sector and take the
necessary actions.

Africa’s economic

Economic growth in Africa could exceed
5% in 2015-16, according to fresh projections
from The World Bank. Economies across the
continent continue to rise at a moderately
quick pace, with regional growth estimated to
strengthen to 5.2% in the next two years, from
4.6% in 2014.
Francisco Ferreira, the WBG’s Chief
Economist for Africa, said the continent
is projected to remain one of the world’s
three fastest growing regions and maintain
“its impressive 20 years of continuous
expansion.” But he added: “Downside risks
that require enhanced preparedness include
economic fallouts from the activities of
terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Al
Shabaab and, most urgently, the onslaught
of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.” The
in infrastructure, increased agricultural
production and expanding services in African
retail, telecoms and transportation to continue
to boost the growth in the region.
Meanwhile, a separate WBG study, Africa’s
Pulse, noted that economic transformation
would become more critical, as it found the
region “was largely bypassing industrialization
as a major driver of growth and jobs.” Instead,
the study said, extractive industries in the
natural resources sector and a surging
services industry were behind Africa’s growth.
Co-author of Africa’s Pulse and WBG
lead economist for Africa, Punam Chuhan-
Pole, added: “Nearly two decades of strong
growth is transforming Africa’s economies,
but the structural change is not what the
world expected. The majority of Africa’s
jobs continue to be in agriculture and is
surging into services — but not into industry
and manufacturing. The good news is that
in Africa, this growth in agriculture and the
services sector has been more effective in
reducing poverty than growth in industry. In
the rest of the world, by contrast, industry
and services have a larger impact on reducing
poverty.”

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is
impairing the ability of governments to
raise revenues, increasing their exposure to
domestic and foreign debts and may make
them more dependent on aid, according to
the latest study on the socioeconomic impact
of the crisis carried out by the the United

“We need to make sure that the Ebola
outbreak does not lead to socioeconomic
collapse,” said Abdoulaye Mar Dieye, the
Director of the UNDP’s Regional Bureau for
Africa. “This crisis is already taking a toll on
budgets and reducing the governments’ policy
leeway to make much-needed investments in
critical areas such as health and education
for their citizens.” He added that the effects
of the Ebola crisis will last long after the
epidemic is brought under control.
In total, the governments of Guinea,
Liberia and Sierra Leone are experiencing a
shortfall of US$328m to be able to function
at pre-crisis levels, the study shows. The gaps
