What is the State of Sustainable Investment in Africa?
with Graham Sinclair
This presentation will analyze the current state of sustainable institutional investment in Africa in 2012, and point to pressing research questions faced by practitioners. It will also describe a collaborative research project being conducted by AfricaSIF.org to map the marketplace in 2012.
Aggregating available information in 2011, the assets under management may be more than US$ 125 billion, making Africa a top 10 global marketplace for sustainable investment. Major emerging markets like South Africa, Morocco and Egypt, and frontier markets like Nigeria, Mauritius and Kenya represent new investable opportunities for global emerging markets investors, and African pension funds, banks and insurance companies looking for long term investments. South Africa has seen some major new developments, such as revised pensions regulation 28, voluntary initiatives such as CRISA, PRI and Carbon Disclosure Project, hosting COP17, carbon tax proposals and investment value chain projects, and the emergence of integrated reporting. The impact investing theme has attracted billions of assets from investors. But what is the impact on sustainable development? What has been learned by the Sustainable Returns project mapping the investment value chain in southern Africa, and the state of environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration?
In 2012, the inaugural AfricaSIF.org Marketplace Trends Report 2012 project will research, analyze and publish a report on the sustainable investment market size and dynamics in 54 countries in Africa. In parallel, for the first time, global SIFs are harmonizing their reporting approaches, so AfricaSIF.org will present an Africa report and contribute the Africa coverage into the global SIFs Trends Report in December 2012. The report will answer the question: how much sustainable investment is in Africa today, and what does it look like? The report is designed to offer a marketplace survey of the institutional investment industry in Africa focused on investments that in some way cover environmental, social and governance factors. The activities of portfolio investors, fund management industry, stock exchanges and other stakeholders will be covered, where relevant, to describe the marketplace. AfricaSIF.org Marketplace Trends Report 2012 project seeks to offer participants learnings on what is / is not being done in Africa, and the ongoing risks and opportunities in the context of economic development in Africa.

The State of Global Pensions Funds: Addressing Future Needs NowNICSA
Pension funds around the world are increasingly looking beyond their borders to address their investment needs according to the recently released global pension fund report produced by PwC Luxembourg and commissioned by the Association of Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI).
The report - which looks at the growth of pension funds globally, the asset allocation of pension funds on a regional basis and the foreign investment of pension funds - found that South America’s pension funds showed the highest growth rate globally, with assets soaring from USD 184 billion (bn) in 2008 to USD 528 bn in 2014, a 19.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
In terms of investing overseas, foreign investment for the pension funds of the majority of OECD countries (excluding the US) accounted for about 25% on average of their total pension investments in 2008, but jumped to almost 31% in 2014.
NICSA invites you to join us for a special presentation on the global pension fund report commissioned by ALFI. The webinar will be presented by Dariush Yazdani, Partner of PwC Luxembourg Market Research Centre.
“…even in the midst of new challenges, pension fund managers are facing a future brimming with opportunities. The unique ability of pension funds to focus on long-term investments allows them to absorb short-term volatility while bearing market and liquidity risk through diversification...” – Dariush Yazdani

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
