Trends in public funding will be discussed including an update on available public grant and loan programs, including new programs and opportunities. Discussion will also focus on what communities should do to enhance their chance to obtain funding. Examples of projects will be reviewed to illustrate how municipalities are using public programs to fund projects.
Sustaining Digital Inclusion; Dissolving Silos.
Solutions to reducing gaps in digital literacy, broadband access and technology use started at the grassroots level. Having been through two federal programs in the United States, we now have top down attention and approaches being created. We learned from BTOP (Broadband Technology Opportunities Program) the necessity of working through trusted organizations and individuals to increase information technology skills and home broadband adoption. Local approach is essential.
Institutionalizing digital inclusion brings necessary attention and funding. Seattle and Minneapolis have staff dedicated to leading and coordinating digital inclusion efforts. Austin and Chicago are investing local resources in digital inclusion. The Google Fiber being deployed in Kansas City has resulted in funding and community collaborations focused upon making sure all residents benefit from the high-speed network in Kansas City. One of Broadband Rhode Island’s strategies has been to integrate digital inclusion into existing programs and initiatives. They have successfully had broadband data included in an open data warehouse, digital literacy included in the state’s adult education program, and broadband infrastructure and adoption data included in a statewide planning process.

Supporting Community Innovation: Improvement Districts and a Municipal Assess...Wagner College
This monograph was written for Wagner College's Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform in April 2020 by Dan Ziebarth, a first-year Ph.D. student at George Washington University's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Political Science, who is studying American politics and public policy. Zieberth's research interests include political parties, representation and American political development. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Dan began his undergraduate career at Wagner College before receiving his B.A. summa cum laude in political science from Hamline University. He later earned his M.A. in ethics and society from Fordham University.
Civic Stewardship Measurement Initiative -- draft slides for discussionwmsnyder
Proposal for measuring population-based outcomes at the community level; as basis for community-based understanding and ownership of local outcomes; as platform to support an ecology of social innovation efforts, led by local residents and organizations; as basis for contracting with external partners on initiatives to improve community wellbeing (government agencies, social entrepreneurs, foundations, researchers, policy-makers, etc.)
Cities around the world are facing a crisis of investment. An integral part of solving this challenge requires building local government capacities and providing practitioners, academics, and advisors who work with cities with leading strategies that have the potential to advance infrastructure investment in ways that contribute to sound municipal fiscal systems. This presentation was originally delivered as a webinar on November 9, 2016 as part of a series of webinars on Municipal Fiscal Health. The webinar featured Dr. Julie Kim, a global infrastructure finance expert at Stanford University's Global Projects Center with over 30 years of public-private partnerships and infrastructure consulting experience in the U.S. and Asia; and Nicole DuPuis from the the National League of Cities, the nation's leading advocacy organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance.
In cooperation with the Research and Evaluation Division of BRAC, Copenhagen Consensus Center organized roundtable discussions with an aim to figure out smarter solutions to the most problematic issues facing Bangladesh.
Proposal: Launch a community-based action-learning lab to accelerate innovation and application of systematic approaches to civic stewardship.
Approach: Applies systematic methods in the civic context that are now used in successful organizations to increase local ownership for ambitious goals, and to foster innovation and collaboration for achieving them.
Opportunity: Spur progress on our most persistent and costly socio-economic and environmental problems by cultivating a national network of neighborhood-based civic stewardship initiatives. A critical mass of neighborhood efforts in 300 U.S. cities can save hundreds of billions in annual government costs, while fostering “collective efficacy” and wellbeing in communities nationwide.
Why now: Recent developments in measures (spurred by the proliferation of “public data”), social media (e.g., neighborhood websites), and monetization (e.g., social impact bonds) are “disruptive innovations” that create ripe opportunities for quantum change.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
