Structural Adjustment Policies and Africa, November 2013Africa Cheetah Run
Structural Adjustment Policies are economic policies which countries must follow in order to qualify for new World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans and help them make debt repayments on the older debts owed to commercial banks, governments and the World Bank. Most countries in Africa rely on SAP's for economic development and poverty reduction. On the contrary some countries have sighted exploitation by donor countries.

Foreign Aid and Fiscal Behaviour in Nigeria: An Impact Assessment of Deregula...iosrjce
The study examined the influence of deregulation on the relationship between foreign aid and fiscal
behaviour in Nigeria. The equation which described foreign aid as function of important fiscal variables and
other macroeconomic variables is derived from the famous two-gap model. Chow test is used to examine if there
is any structural changes since the adoption of deregulation that has significantly affected the relationship
between foreign aid and fiscal behaviour. The result shows that deregulation has positively and significantly
affected the impact of fiscal behaviour in Nigeria on foreign aid accessibility. But the effect has been short-lived
recently owing to the recent drastic fall in foreign aid available to Nigeria despite the sustained increase in both
government revenue and expenditure. It is recommended that assessment of other shocks that can affect the
fiscal behaviour in Nigeria should be conducted with a view to getting the reason why deregulation fails to
maintain positive relationship that exists between fiscal behaviour and foreign aid in Nigeria.

Main challenges to achieving Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015José Ferreiro
The report emphasizes that coherent economic and social policies as well as targeted programmes are needed to achieve MDG objectives and refers to good practices in a number of UNECE countries, including Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Serbia, Tajikistan, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine.
The report also highlights a number of human development challenges which are specific to countries with transition economies. They include rising inequalities, setbacks in social protection, comparatively low male life expectancy and unprecedented migration flows. Moreover, the newly independent States emerging from the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have encountered additional problems of nation-building and for many of them this has been accompanied by regional tensions or large-scale conflicts, affecting deeply the human capital and cohesiveness of their societies. A characteristic of the Eastern part of the pan-European region is the discrepancy between the seriousness of these problems and the governance capacity to address them. Pursuing actively institutional reforms according to the principles of a participatory political and social system, and a market economy therefore constitutes an overall challenge for most of these countries.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Outline of the presentation
1. Highlights of Africa’s progress towards
MDGs
2. Pro-poor policies after MDGs: challenges
3. Rethinking Pro-poor policies after MDGs in
Africa
4. Concluding remarks
3. 1. Highlights of Africa’s progress
towards MDGs
On average SSA is the region with the
slowest pace of progress towards reaching
targets set in the MDGs.
However, there are significant disparities
across countries in the progress towards
MDGs
Some countries have registered rapid
progress towards achieving some targets,
while others recorded much slower progress.
(see Figure below)
4. Figure 1: Progress towards universal education in selected African
countries
5. 1. Highlights of Africa’s progress
towards MDGs (contd)
Tracking progress is undermined by lack of
timely and reliable data on targets.
Despite efforts in generating MDGs-related
data in most African countries, poor quality of
data is still a significant challenge for
monitoring progress in real time.
6. 2. Pro-poor policies after MDGs:
challenges (contd..)
Little effort has been made to recognize that
most of the targets are means to accelerate
economic prosperity; but often they are
considered as ends in their own right.
As a result, there is a weak mapping from
targets to policy instruments or vice versa.
Identifying robust & potent policy instruments
to achieve a set of targets is complicated by
multiplicity of targets
7. 2. Pro-poor policies after MDGs:
challenges (contd)
MDGs also often lack coherence &
coordination partly because of multiplicity of
players.
Governments, development agencies (UNDP,
bilateral aid agencies, etc..), NGOs, civil
society organizations have rallied themselves
around MDGs often resulting in duplication of
efforts.
The multiplicity of players naturally results in
sub-optimal of resources.
8. 3. Rethinking pro-poor policies after
MDGs
MDGs will continue to be relevant beyond
2015 for a number of reasons:
As shared vision, they can rally public support
for increased ODA in donor countries;
They provide a platform for better
development partnership
The goals are popular and easily
understandable; this important for building
public support behind the goals.
But, they need rethinking in the following
areas for effective implementation
9. 3. Rethinking Pro-poor policies
beyond 2015
Recent events have shown fragility in growth
performance and the threat to attaining the
MDGs;
Income inequality and the associated social
tensions (Kenya)
Vulnerability to External shocks ( Food crisis
and Financial crisis)
The reversal of gains in just six months in
case of the Financial crisis
10. 3. Rethinking pro-poor policies after
MDGs (contd..)
Refocusing targets: the focus should be on the
following two encompassing goals.
Focused Goal 1: Promoting growth
wealth creation is a perquisite for redistribution,
investment, acceleration of the increase in living
standards
growth targets should show progress in areas beyond
education, and health to include infrastructure, etc..
But, focusing on growth allows optimal use of
resources.
11. 3. Rethinking pro-poor policies after
MDGs (contd..)
Focused goal 2: Reducing inequality
rising inequality is a major constraint to wealth
creation and poverty reduction
Reduction in inequality increases the gains
from growth across cross-section of society and
regions
Lower inequality promotes social justice and
stability
12. Rethinking Pro-poor policies
beyond 2015
Focus on Fragile States
Threat to MDGs is the existence of fragile
states
Agree that aid is more effective in good policy
environment BUT we need to rethink
approach to fragile states.
Cost is enormous once they fall into
fragility(Somalia,DRC,Zimbabwe). Should we
rethink PBA?
Action may be needed beyond regional effort
13. 3. Rethinking Pro-poor policies
beyond 2015…
Broaden Goal 7: Sustainable Growth
Climate change remains a threat to
sustainable development
Recognise the external shocks that pose a
big threat to sustainable development
Rebalance growth strategy between social
and infrastructure
14. 3. Rethinking pro-poor policies after
MDGs (contd..)
Better definition of policy instruments
So far there is no clear mapping from policy
instruments to targets
no information on the sensitivity of targets to
instruments
no defined intermediate targets
as a principle, the fewer the targets, the easier the
implementation & monitoring
Another major problem in the current setting is lack
of adequate control over the policy instruments:
Poor policy alignment
Weak harmonization of aid policies
15. 4. Concluding remarks
Experience from SSA suggests that the
popular policy action to reach the MDGs is to
scale up government expenditure/ODA in the
delivery of basic social services.
Little attention has been paid to economy-
wide effects of interventions and interactions
across interventions.
16. 4. Concluding remarks (contd)
Some progress in MDGs can be traced back
to involvement of large donor resources.
However, aid-driven progress towards the
MDGs raises concerns of sustainability of
targets (risk of deterioration of targets after
aid).
17. 4. Concluding remarks (contd)
As we look forward beyond 2015, it is
imperative to rethink pro-poor policies in
terms of:
Instrument-target alignment,
Prioritization of targets,
Sequencing,
Greater coherence of financing with overall
development strategy of each country.
