how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the what'sapp number of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

3. Health –Will kids leave school in
good health and be ready for

“How much human capital will a child born today acquire by the end of secondary school, given the
risks to health, education and social protection that prevail in the country where she was born?”

Editor's Notes
Pre-dividend: Lagging in human development outcomes
Early-dividend: Job creation for rapidly growing share of working-age people, mostly youth
Late-dividend: Populations beginning to age; potential slowdown in growth of labor supply
Post-dividend: Adapting to aging to maintain living standards
From 1980 to 2012, disaster-related losses amounted to US$3,800 billion worldwide (Figure A). Some 87% of these reported disasters (18,200 events), 74% of losses (US$2,800 billion) and 61% of lives lost (1.4 million in total) were caused by weather extremes (Munich Re 2013).
Many countries with the highest projected future poverty risk are also the ones with the lowest level of current risk preparedness (World Bank 2013b; Shepherd et al. 2013), in terms of the proportion of their population projected to be living below US$1.25/day by 2030. The picture changes if one considers the sheer number of projected poor, as in that case several low-to-medium income countries—such as India and Pakistan—would also take prominence.
A recent ODI report concludes that, without concerted action, some 325 million people could be living in the 45 countries most exposed to hazards by 2030, highlighting the close links between poverty, hazards and risk governance, and the need to integrate social protection into development strategies.
The elements outlined in the “process of integrating climate resilience into development” often occur in parallel and in interactive ways. Most countries have started the process by strengthening institutions, identifying and assessing risks, and enhancing capacity and knowledge
The experience of the past four years is a reminder of the urgent need for greater economic diversification and stronger monetary and fiscal policy frameworks in oil exporters.
After reaching 3.1 percent in both 2017 and 2018, global growth is expected to decelerate over the next two years as global slack dissipates, major central banks remove policy accommodation, and the recovery in commodity exporters matures. Amid moderating international trade and tightening global financing conditions, growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is projected to plateau, reaching 4.7 percent in 2019 and 2020, up from 4.5 percent in 2018.
The region seems to have made slower progress on most of the goals, but it also made significant progress in absolute numbers. The maternal mortality ratio, for example, dropped from 831 / 100 thousand in 1990 to 473 / 100 thousand in 2015 in Africa. In the world, it dropped from 385 in 1990 to 216. Although countries in Africa may not have met the target of reducing maternal mortality by three quarters (3/4), in absolute numbers, that is 358 fewer women per 100 thousand to lose their lives from pregnancy or childbirth related causes.
1990:
AFR: 831
World: 385
2015:
AFR: 473
World: 216
SDGs are a set of goals that UN member states negotiated and agreed to meeting by the year 2030. They succeed the MDGs
Cross-cutting and integrated – so the point is that progress on one affects progress on others. And that they need to be approached in a holistic manner.
Countries present their progress in VNRs

The HLPF is the primary UN mechanism for the follow up and review of SDG implementation.
Financing: we looked into whether countries included an SDG budget in their HLPF. Only 1 country did. We also looked into whether countries internalized the SDGs and incorporated them into their national budget.
Data: We looked into whether countries integrated the SDGs into their national monitoring frameworks. We also looked into whether they did a comprehensive internal review of the state of data and their statistical capacity.
Please highlight that this is based on preliminary analysis by your staff, and excludes some countries (data category excludes French language reports)
Highlight data challenges. The only goals with robust enough data for aggregation are the human dev ones: which comprised the MDGs. Poverty goal uses data from 2013 – that’s the most recent poverty data and even that has issues.
Even 97 percent population coverage on an issue might first look like success, but it still implies a 3 percent shortfall, equivalent to more than a million Canadians.

Definition: Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.
Description: The map below shows how GINI index (World Bank estimate) varies by country in Africa. The shade of the country corresponds to the magnitude of the indicator. The darker the shade, the higher the value. The country with the highest value in the region is South Africa, with a value of 63.40. The country with the lowest value in the region is Algeria, with a value of 27.60.

Closing gender gaps help advance towards SDG5; sets countries on a sustainable path with diversified economies and higher levels of productivity
Since 1990, maternal deaths in sub-Saharan Africa have fallen by 44 percent, yet
Between 1990 and 2013, African countries made significant progress increasing gender equality in primary enrolment
Compared to other regions, women in sub-Saharan Africa are very active in the labor force, especially as entrepreneurs
More than 50 percent of Africa’s population is under 25 years of age.
Katimou, a doctor, works in her vegetable garden on the weekends: Katimou Maga opted for a career in medicine, but since childhood she has cultivated a passion for gardening. She boasts an impressive CV. After years of working as a doctor, she was chosen by the government of Niger for the difficult job of evaluating the health impacts on the population of the hydroelectric dam at Kandadji (part of the ecosystem restoration program and development plan for the Niger Valley).
Economic exclusion; financial systems that perpetuate their discrimination; limited participation in political and public life; lack of access to education and poor retention of girls in schools; exclusion of women from peace tables, are the major standing barriers to achieving gender equality in Africa.
Gender wage gaps are prevalent in all countries, including IDA, but the variance is large: in Mozambique it is 39 percent, in Pakistan 45 percent, while in Côte d’Ivoire it is 61 percent.
Due to the numerous armed conflicts (nearly half of the 42 ongoing conflicts are in the continent) – African women are in charge of the majority of households and are key food producers, and they represent more than 43 percent of the agricultural labor force. As per WB-UN report: As conflicts surge around the world, new approaches to prevention can save lives & money: up to $70 bln/yr
Additionally, gender-based violence (GBV) is often exacerbated by conditions of conflict and violence
The World Bank finds that gender gaps cause an average income loss of 15% in OECD countries, 40% of which is due to entrepreneurship gaps.
The McKinsey Global Institute recently estimated that if women participated in the economy identically to men, with equal wages and labor force participation, it would add up to $28 billion to global GDP by 2025: a 26% increase over business as usual, equivalent to adding a new United States and China to the world economy.
Globally, countries are losing $160 trillion in wealth because of differences in lifetime earnings between women and men, according to the WBG study, Unrealized Potential: The High Cost of Gender Inequality in Earnings. This amounts to an average of $23,620 for each person in the 141 countries studied.
The World Bank released a new book The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 which tracks the wealth of 141 countries between 1995 and 2014. The goal is to help governments plan for a more sustainable economic growth path.
GDP and Wealth are complementary indicators that provide a fuller picture of economic well-being. A country’s comprehensive wealth includes all produced capital such as factories and roads; natural capital like forests and water; human capital, which leads to earnings; and net foreign assetsThe comprehensive wealth accounts provided in this book can primarily contribute to SDG 17, which aims to revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. Under the systemic issues articulated in this goal, the wealth accounts contribute to (1) policy and institutional coherence, by providing a common and sound analytical
framework for assessing sustainable development; and (2) the targets related to data, monitoring, and accountability.
Trends by region and asset class: Figure 2.4 shows that the share of human capital in total wealth declined in East Asia, in large part because of the aging of the labor force. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the share of natural capital declined, in part as a result of a decline in the value of agricultural land, but also because of investments in education and growth of the labor force that led to a rising share of human capital. The large share of natural capital in the Middle East and North Africa reflects energy and mineral wealth; small increases in natural capital wealth in other regions are largely associated with energy and mineral wealth.
Given the importance of natural capital for low-income and middle income countries, this investigation takes a closer look at this asset and how it has changed over time. Natural capital can itself be disaggregated into nonrenewables (fossil fuel energy and minerals) and renewables (agricultural land, forest, and protected areas), which pose quite different challenges for development (box 2.1). Some countries have met these challenges over time, while others have not. In 1995, 52 countries in our data set were classified as low income; 28 of these countries are now middle income. Of these 28 middle-income countries, the majority (23) were highly dependent on natural capital in 1995. More than half (15) were considered resource rich and managed their energy and mineral wealth to build a broader set of assets, joining the middle-income group of countries. Another 8 countries, including India, Kenya, Pakistan, and Senegal, were heavily dependent on agricultural land and forests (renewable natural capital), and have now built larger and more diverse portfolios of assets, especially human capital, but also infrastructure and other produced capital.
With the recent agreement on the African Continental Free Trade Area, Africans have made a decisive choice to pursue the path towards one single continental market made up of 50 countries rather than 50 small and fragmented domestic markets. While there is much work to be done to operationalize the AfCFTA, the potential benefits are undeniably huge. The AfCFTA could create a single market of 1.2 billion people worth a combined GDP of $2.2 trillion! Based on current growth projections, the continent's economy could be larger than the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is today within a single generation.
The World Bank remains an important player in supporting integration in the continent. The Bank's dedicated support for regional integration in Africa began in 2005 and lending commitments have now grown to $10 billion and significant results are being achieved.
A new WBG Regional Integration Strategy for Africa was recently endorsed by the Board. The strategy proposes a significant change in the overall direction of Bank support with greater emphasis on tackling policy, regulatory and other hurdles to deepen integration, and promoting collective action. This will complement past and current regional infrastructure financing. Over the next three years, the World Bank will work towards adding $6-7 billion in new commitments focused on achieving the goals of the new strategy.
The World Bank Group is committed to working with the public and private sector to advance gender equality and women’s agency globally by leveraging our lending, expertise, and convening power.
