Budgetary advantages of enhancing pretrial justice finPublicFinanceTV
Pretrial service programs provide several important functions that can result in budgetary advantages for local governments. They gather information on defendants through risk assessments to help judicial officials make release decisions, often resulting in more releases and lower jail populations. For those released, they provide supervision to help ensure appearance in court. Research shows these programs have high success rates of around 80% while costing significantly less per day than incarceration. For example, in North Carolina the daily cost per participant in pretrial programs was around $25 compared to over $60 for jail. This can translate into large cost savings that can be used to fund other areas.

Priority Based Budgeting: Lessons Learned - Summer 2014 NCLGBA ConferencePublicFinanceTV
Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) is a process that comprehensively reviews programs across an organization to determine how well each program aligns with the entity's strategic goals. All programs are evaluated and ranked based on their influence on and alignment with achieving those strategic goals.

The development of oil palm cultivation followed very different paths across continents. Originating from Central Africa where palm oil was first collected from the wild in the forest, oil palm has since become a typical agro-industrial crop especially in South-East Asia and Latin America. More recently smallholders have increased their share in the production, while with some differences. Nowadays the problem that the oil palm sector faces is no longer related to either choose agro-industries or smallholders, but to find the best way to associate agro-industries and smallholders in mutually beneficial schemes. Examples from Indonesia, Cameroon and Colombia show the limits and opportunities of such associations.
This document summarizes the promises and pitfalls of tier pricing for scientific research journals. It discusses how online publishing requires a different pricing model than print due to varying usage levels across institutions.

Transparency is important to ensure tier pricing is not used simply to increase overall revenue. Overall, tier pricing systems must balance fairness across institution sizes with maintaining affordability.
