AKADEMIYA2063-CORAF Learning Event, July 6, 2021 : Overview of farming system...AKADEMIYA2063
- Farming systems in West and Central Africa face many challenges including poor soils, drought, pests and diseases, low mechanization, and climate change.
- However, there is also great potential to boost agriculture through exploiting only 10% of irrigable land, empowering the large youth population, and disseminating appropriate technologies.
- CORAF is working to advance the use of modern data collection tools and digital platforms to support agricultural research, recommendations, market access, and decision making across the region.
Ben Crissy chose to keep the statistics for his high school basketball team as his senior project in order to explore a potential career as a sports statistician. He worked with the basketball coach to learn how to record stats during games. Crissy found it challenging to watch fast-paced games and record stats at the same time. By the end of the season, he had compiled comprehensive statistics that closely matched those kept by the coach. Through this project, Crissy gained experience that could help him pursue a career in sports statistics.

The document discusses assessing the suitability of sites for microenterprises in Bangladesh. It analyzed various physical and economic criteria like distance to markets and roads, land elevation and flooding risk, to classify areas as highly, moderately or marginally suitable for poultry farming. Most unions had large unsuitable areas concentrated in the southeast. Microenterprises in unsuitable sites faced higher costs, lower profits and required greater support. The research findings could help prioritize development efforts and identify low-cost solutions to improve conditions for farmers in unsuitable locations.

This document discusses opportunities for green microfinance through providing access to clean energy solutions. It notes that 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity and another 1 billion have unreliable access. The availability of financing can accelerate the uptake of clean energy solutions. One organization, Arc Finance, works with financial institutions and energy companies to provide affordable clean energy to over 250,000 households across 4 countries worth over $9 million. Microfinance for clean energy provides benefits like positive impacts on clients through improved living standards and income generation. It is well-suited due to existing client bases and understanding of customer needs. Lessons learned include having management buy-in, partnering with good product suppliers, building sales capacity, and diversifying products over time

Among the many challenges in the product development and management world is getting a new product through an organization's functional silos and out the door. This presentation explores the challenges and the benefits of using a new process, social orienteering (tm), to steer products more rapidly and successfully to market.
This document summarizes key findings from a study of financial diaries in Zambia. It discusses how the diaries were used to develop more nuanced market segments based on patterns of income variation, rather than just demographic characteristics. Two examples are given of farmers with different livelihoods but similar income fluctuation patterns. The segments are described and how they differently manage cash flow and finance lump purchases. Insights from the diaries challenge assumptions about use of financial services among the populations studied.

The document summarizes a market research study conducted with 224 members of Bandhan, a microfinance institution in India. The study found that the most common health issues were cold, cough, fever, gastric problems, and skin diseases. It also found that while government healthcare is preferred, the main barrier to care is inability to pay rather than lack of access. Respondents expressed interest in health savings, education, and loans to pay for emergencies. Based on the findings, Bandhan introduced health education programs and emergency health loans for clients.

This one-day workshop will introduce the pathway that financial service providers can take to enhance their social performance management (SPM) practices, using the Universal Standards for Social Performance Management (“Universal Standards”) as a framework for improving practice. Case studies and activities will make the day as interactive as possible. The target audience for this workshop is associations and direct service providers.
The day will start by quickly defining SPM and exploring its importance to an institution’s clients and business. Participants will take a deeper look at the Universal Standards and learn how to use the SPI4 Audit Tool to assess their current level of implementation of the Universal Standards. We will also discuss key resources available to help financial service providers institute changes after they assess themselves.
You have helped your clients see themselves and their families in a new light as economic actors. You can do the same for their lives as civic actors. The nations of the world have agreed to the Sustainable Development Goals, goals such as eradicating extreme poverty, eliminating preventable child deaths, and ensuring all children complete secondary school all by 2030. In this training you will learn how to empower your clients to use their voices as citizens on issues that matter in their lives, the lives of community members, and across their nation. By helping clients influence village leaders and members of Parliament through advocacy, we will make the SDGs real.
The document summarizes findings from a research study on financial diaries kept by rural households in Cambodia. It provides context on Cambodia's economy and microfinance sector. The study found that households used a mix of formal and informal financial tools to manage volatile income and expenses. A common informal tool is ROSCAs called "tongtin" which provide savings and credit functions and compete with microfinance institutions. The diaries revealed opportunities for new financial products addressing common shocks as well as a need for financial literacy training to help households avoid over-indebtedness.
This document summarizes a study that examined the impact of financial education and access to savings accounts on youth in Uganda. 240 youth groups were randomly assigned to receive either financial education, access to a group savings account, both, or neither (the control). Results found that financial education significantly increased savings amounts and earned income 1-2 years later, while access to savings accounts had smaller impacts. This suggests that financial education and account access may be substitutes rather than complements in increasing savings behavior and downstream outcomes.
This document summarizes research on a mobile savings product called M-Pasandaz launched in Afghanistan. Key points:
- M-Pasandaz allowed automatic payroll deductions into a mobile money savings account, with options for employer matching contributions.
- A study enrolled 949 employees and randomly assigned them to default enrollment at 5% of salary and different matching contribution levels (0%, 25%, 50%).
- Defaults significantly increased participation rates, with 71-86% of default-enrolled employees participating compared to 1% without defaults. Defaults also led to higher contribution amounts, roughly equivalent to a 50% match.
- The results suggest defaults are an effective way to address procrastination and help people save
This document summarizes preliminary results from a midline survey evaluation of the LISTA project, which aims to provide tablet-based financial education in Colombia. The summary includes:
1) LISTA uses tablets preloaded with financial education modules to potentially provide a scalable solution. 2) The evaluation examines the impact of LISTA on financial literacy, practices, and performance using a randomized controlled research design. 3) Preliminary midline results show some improvements in financial knowledge, savings habits, and reported savings amounts, but no impact yet on all measures.
Nathan Were from FINCA presented on their experience partnering with mobile network operators (MNOs) to expand digital financial services in Tanzania. Some key points:
- FINCA launched mobile payments in 2012 with MNO Vodacom and agency banking in 2014. In 2015 they integrated with multiple MNOs including Tigo and Airtel to offer mobile banking.
- Digital channels like agents and mobile banking increased in usage over time, with mobile transactions growing from 26% to 29% of all transactions from January to February 2016.
- Partnering with large MNOs requires cultivating the relationship through dedicated resources and service level agreements to avoid being at a disadvantage.
- Digital
The document summarizes the key findings of an independent evaluation of the Asian Development Bank's Microfinance Assistance Program from 2000-2010. The evaluation assessed the performance of ADB's microfinance portfolio in developing sustainable microfinance systems for the poor. It found that while interventions were well-designed, they were less effective at delivering intended results. Program and sector development loans were most effective in improving policies and expanding services, while projects focusing only on credit were less successful. The evaluation also analyzed microfinance clients and impacts in six countries, finding an increase in loans and clients over time but decreasing percentages of women, and limited welfare impacts.
The Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) aims to unleash women's economic potential through enabling more women's businesses to access finance. AFAWA plans to mobilize $300 million for financial intermediaries by 2020 through partnerships to support African financial systems. It will measure the impact of increasing access to affordable and accessible financing for women-owned businesses in sub-Saharan Africa, which currently face a credit gap of $21-26 billion. AFAWA aligns with the African Development Bank's strategies related to gender, private sector development, financial sector development, and governance.
Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
