PAC Networks - A Global Perspective
Networks of public accounts committees exist on most continents to help such committees learn from one another and share best practices. These networks vary in their structure, membership, and objectives. However, they generally aim to strengthen financial oversight of governments by facilitating information sharing among parliamentary bodies responsible for auditing public spending. Successful networks tend to have a defined membership and purpose, a degree of formality in their operations, committed participation from members, and sustained leadership over time. They also allow for self-organization among participating committees.

This document discusses the importance of harmonizing HR and payroll functions for multinational businesses. It notes that a lack of standardized, integrated HR and payroll systems can negatively impact daily operations for companies operating in multiple countries. The document outlines several challenges of international expansion, such as complying with different local employment laws and taxation rules. It argues that harmonizing HR and payroll processes can help businesses adapt more easily to changes, reduce costs, and make reporting and decision-making more effective. Standardizing on an integrated Human Capital Management system with a single provider is presented as an important strategy for multinational organizations to gain efficiencies and support growth.
EU:s migration policy harmonization securitization
The document discusses the European Union's migration policy and the tension between harmonization and securitization. It outlines the EU's efforts to harmonize internal border policies while reinforcing external borders. The policy aims to balance the free movement of EU citizens with restrictive access for non-EU citizens. While the EU works to create common legal migration and asylum systems, national policies remain diverse and securitization of borders has increased since 9/11 through the creation of agencies like Frontex.

IT + IC = Innovation
This document discusses how combining information technology (IT) and intangible capital (IC) can fuel innovation. It provides examples of how IT has enabled innovation in industries like transportation and food provision. The value of companies increasingly comes from intangible assets like brands, data, and culture rather than physical assets. Nurturing an innovative culture requires bottom-up collaboration beyond top-down strategies. Constraints can also drive innovative solutions, as demonstrated by Aravind which provides low-cost eye surgeries using India's poverty and health challenges.

Improving Local Governance through ICTs in Africa: The Findings from Login Af...Think! The Innovation Knowledge Foundation
What do we mean by e-government? This concept, synthesized by Heeks (2001) as "the ICT-enabled route to good governance", points to the system of solutions for public administration that are based on the toolkits of digital technology. The use of ICTs for speeding up citizen-government transactions in India, for digitalizing the Thai government, for supporting the purchaser-provider separation in the British health system, all point in the same direction: ICTs, over the last decades, have been plied to reforms that are market-oriented in character. As a result, a managerialist view dominates, reducing success and failure to performance indicators, borrowed from the domain of the private sector. But is e-government really all about efficiency and market incentives? Or do the effects of computerization on citizens' quality of life, and the potential for democratization in interactions with government, have a place in understanding the e-government sphere?
When we shift our focus to countries that suffer from institutional frailty, the dimensions of accountability, transparency, and democratization emerge as primary objectives to be pursued within government. Madon's (2009) work is illuminating in this respect: computerized health facilities in Karnataka, e-inclusion through telecentres in Kerala, the use of information systems for self-employment programmes in Gujarat, tell a story that constitutes an implicit challenge to the efficiency-centred, neoliberal view of digitalization in the public sector. Experiences of e-government in developing nations, rather than ascribing to the panacea of investing in ICTs for achieving development, should be examined through a contextual lens: this leaves standard prescriptions and market orientation on the one side, and takes into account the complexity and specificity of the political environments involved.

Developing the sector of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) remains a crucial element in socio-economic development in general and in the process of regional economic integration in particular. In addition, it constitutes a strategic priority for States in the sub-region in the fight against poverty and in promoting education at all levels.
As a matter of fact, ICT contributes to economic growth by
(1) increasing productivity in all sectors;
(2) creating a conducive environment for market expansion beyond national borders and benefiting from economies of scale;
(3) reducing costs and facilitating easy access to services, particularly in the fields of administration, education, health and banking;
(4) facilitating access to research;
(5) developing ICT-related products and services;
(6) contributing to better governance, an essential ingredient for growth, through increased participation, accountability and transparency.
Embracing ICT gives broader possibilities of positive externalisation and encourages creativity, learning, and augments people’s aptitudes to resolve problems. However, its influence on employment, on new types of exports and on direct foreign investments depends on a number of factors: “It is the interaction between connectivity, access, security of the network, capacities and competencies, the market structures and the management of enterprises, as well as the regulatory and commercial framework that determine the aptitude of enterprises in a developing country to effectively and efficiently participate in the information economy and to compete in the global electronic markets”.
A number of ICT development initiatives have already been undertaken in Eastern Africa, particularly by the member States, the Regional Economic Communities (IGAD, EAC, COMESA), the African Union (AU), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the International Communications Union (ICU) and the African Telecommunications Union (ATU), etc., in an effort to close the existing digital gap. These inter-state institutions encourage their members to complement the right of regional institutions by a component on “Harmonised Regulation of the ICT Sector”. In this regard, the countries of Eastern Africa have registered steady progress along the path towards economic integration and the development of a common market. In order to facilitate the harmonisation of their national sectortal policies, the Economic Commission for Africa carried out this Study with a view to examining the legal and regulatory regimens, as well as the national ICT institutional frameworks in each of the 13 member States and to compare the performance of the ICT sector vis-à-vis the best international practices.

The completion of the internal market and the way ahead: ACER's view
This document summarizes the views of Dennis Hesseling, Head of the Gas Department at ACER, on the completion of the internal energy market in the EU. The key points are:
1) ACER plays a central role in developing framework guidelines and network codes to harmonize rules across EU member states, though it is not itself a regulator.
2) Important milestones include finalizing the Ten-E regulation on trans-European energy infrastructure, identifying Projects of Common Interest, and strengthening regional initiatives.
3) Early implementation of network codes through regional pilot projects helps test solutions and inform the formal code development process, with a focus on capacity allocation mechanisms.
