Financing solution for women empowerment in agriculturekamnath2k
This financial solution seeks to empower rural women and widows through an agricultural micro-credit/aid enhanced scheme. Women constitute over 50% of the world’s population and though they perform two-third of the worlds work yet they receive only one hundredth of the world’s income. They constitute 43% of the world’s agricultural labour yet they do not have access and control over land.
For the over 80% of agricultural produce that comes from small farmers in Africa, most of whom are women to be properly harnessed, women will need to be given adequate attention as ‘‘when we empower women, we empower communities, nations and entire human family’’ UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
The effect of CSR performance on NGO activism in the Fashion IndustryDaisy Altelaar
Companies in the fashion industry are increasingly pressured by NGOs to behave in a more socially responsible manner. Consequently, fashion companies proactively adjust their policies and invest in CSR under the assumption that their likelihood to become the target of NGO activism is reduced. In this study we propose that companies where the level of CSR performance is low are more likely to become the target of NGO activism. We tested this with data from 41 company reports of Sustainalytics. Contrary to our expectations, results of this study reveal that companies with a good CSR performance are actually experiencing more NGO activism than companies with a poor CSR performance. Similar results are found in the relation between CSR performance and NGO activism for the social performance of fashion companies in the contractor & supply chain (C&S) and no
relationship is found for environmental performance in the C&S. An explanation of the findings can reside in stakeholder scepticism, the perceived motive from the company’s communicated CSR message and in a potential two-way causality of the NGO activism-CSR performance relationship. Nevertheless, managers of fashion companies should be aware that good CSR performance by itself does but not take away the likelihood to become targeted by NGO activists. Therefore, companies should carefully manage their multiple identities and work together to address issues related to the society and environment.

Agricultural Cooperatives and Rural Poverty Reduction among Rural Farmers in ...ijtsrd
This study assessed the nexus between agricultural cooperative and rural poverty reduction in Anambra State. The study utilised primary data, which were extracted from the questionnaire distributed to 213 rural farmers in Anambra State. Descriptive statistics were used to present and discuss data, while inferential statistics such as Paired sample T Test were employed to test hypothesis at the 5 level. The results study reveal that cooperative credit, cooperative farm inputs, cooperative farm extension services and agricultural cooperative marketing have significant positive relationships with rural poverty reduction among farmers in Anambra State at 5 level of significance. The study recommends among others, that government should complement the efforts of cooperatives by evolving a favourable credit policy which would lead to entrepreneurial development in the rural areas and that government at the three levels and all stake holders should endeavour to assist in providing adequate farm input supplies, crop varieties, good storage facilities among others because of their multiplier effects on poverty reduction, food security, job and wealth creation.

Influence of budgetary allocation on performance of youth group project in th...oircjournals
The need to empower youth for a better tomorrow is connected both, to the financial elevation as well as increment of the standard of living. Therefore, the study sought to establish the influence of budgetary allocation on performance of youth group project in the county government of Uasin Gishu. The study was guided by budget theory. The study employed the use of survey design in order to accomplish the research objectives. The accessible population for the study was 375 representatives of different youth groups and 65 officials of devolved fund initiative in Uasin Gishu County. Sample size was computed using the Fishers formula. Proportionate sampling was applied to select respondents. The researcher employed the use of questionnaire and interview schedule to collect data from participants. This study used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were done using frequency percentages, means and standard deviation of each variable. The coefficient of variation were used where data were skewed. Correlation and regression were used to show the relationship between the dependent variable and the whole group of independent variables. The results of the study were presented using Tables and figures. The study found that budgetary allocation has a positive and a significant influence on performance of youth group project in the county government of Uasin Gishu (β1=0.154, p<0.05). The study concluded that the amount disbursed to youths is equally distributed and done in time. Funds disbursements are based on projects types and the youth can compete competitively by accessing enough amount of money to finance their businesses. The study recommends that the training programs on entrepreneurship should be enhanced and be made compulsory before the group is funded. This will ensure that the youth will be able to make the right decision on investments as well as on proper accounting of their financial resources.
The questions posed in this short presentation are ‘How can countries make better use of ODA’? And ‘can ODA also go for much needed sustainable projects?’ With the new set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals we (the world) will have to focus among other things on more on transparency and effectiveness. This artifact specifically made for the World bank Group Financing 4 Development MOOC is for all audiences and the information provided can be applied by many countries and could hopefully make a difference in outcomes.

This paper is produced on the basis of the on-going work of the Analyzing Development Issues Centre (ADIC) in collaboration with DC Research team working in Dak Dam commune in Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia, since 2013. It is aims to illustrate a different model of development that takes into account the active involvement of the communities for long term social, economic and environmental development. The paper begins with examining the mismatch of development approaches, followed by the concept of going with the flow of community life (GFCL) in participatory action research (PAR) then the emergence of community-corporate partnership (CCP) concept; its relation to social enterprise, and stock taking of CCP in its current practice in the communities.
Different approaches to development interventions in Cambodia have been tested to examine if they offer greater chance of ownership, benefits, and sustainability to the people or communities. Often, the claim of the intended beneficiaries to the approach comes nil when these factors are brought in. In one instance, community people were urged to advocate for their rights and access to land and forest resources when these were encroached on by powerful individuals or companies. Community people’s motivation comes to despair when the intended achievements end up beyond their reach. On the other hand, there are approaches such as the community forestry program that seeks to improve livelihoods in line with environmental conservation; however, the outcome is not realized because of the dependency on external support and the lack of subsidy to those who sacrifice for forest protection. This paper argues that there is an alternative to build a strong individual or household economic base before they effectively start engaging in protecting their resources. This lends itself to the concept of community-corporate partnership (CCP), which taps into available resources such as land from community people while capital and technical inputs come from outside for collective production that is based on mutually agreed principle of shared benefits and losses. Cases of coffee, pepper production and a few other cash crops are being experimented over the past year with indigenous people in upland Mondulkiri Province. Over the period, there have been manifestations of shared understanding, trust, control of processes and challenges, which indicate a promising path to long term benefits. This has long term potential for strengthening community solidarity for defending their rights to land and natural resources they presently depend upon for their living.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
