This document summarizes a workshop on organizational capacity building for NGO partner organizations. The workshop covered several topics related to strengthening NGO capacity, including emerging areas of capacity building like government relations, networking, fundraising and risk management. Specific sessions discussed developing collaborative partnerships with agricultural extension systems in Nepal, building better relationships with government, and networking with other NGOs. The goal of capacity building is for NGOs to improve their own performance and ability to build capacity in the communities they serve.
WBG - Discussion Note on Network and CoP Learning for Pacific PACs
This document provides background information on public accounts committees (PACs) in the Pacific region and the potential for a regional PAC learning network. It discusses two waves of previous studies on PAC performance in the Pacific that identified various factors affecting it. The document then analyzes data from a 2009 survey of 8 Pacific PACs to compare their organizational characteristics, powers, responsibilities and performance. It finds that Pacific PACs differ significantly and therefore a single capacity building approach is not suitable. A learning network could help address common challenges by facilitating knowledge sharing and peer support between the diverse PACs in the region.

The document discusses Hong Kong's history of solid waste management policies from 1977 to 2030. It outlines the advisory group and civic engagement processes used to develop the policies, including establishing an advisory group to consider economic, technological, social and environmental factors. Stakeholders were engaged through expressions of interest, tenders, and the Council for Sustainable Development (CSD) and its support group. This engagement led to policy papers to address waste management, increased legitimacy of policies, and promoted the concept of sustainable development.
Media's role in covering governance in educatn
Nigeria adopted several strategies from the Dakar Framework for Action in 2000 to improve education, including increasing access to primary education, improving learning achievement, promoting gender equity, reducing illiteracy, and expanding education programs. However, it is unclear how many of these strategies Nigeria is actually implementing and whether budget allocations match activities. To investigate this issue, sources that can be interviewed or analyzed include ministries, agencies, international organizations, research institutions, and community members. The media should report on issues like education budgets, policies, and performance to better inform the public and give them a voice in issues that affect them. Ultimately, the media has an important role in demanding more accountability and public participation in

This document outlines the ecosystem of influences that shape how new economic ideas emerge and are adopted. It maps out the key nodes (institutions and groups), mechanisms (how they connect and exert influence), and levers of power (types of influence) across political, economic, cultural, media, educational, and technological spheres. These nodes, like universities, think tanks, government, and media, work through mechanisms like research, publishing, lobbying, and public advocacy to disseminate and potentially implement new economic thinking.

The document discusses challenges and recommendations related to costing gender equality policies in Latin America and the Caribbean. It identifies challenges in five dimensions: political, institutional, technical, information, and financial/budgetary. It then provides recommendations to promote the use of costing exercises to: (1) achieve greater fundraising to finance social policies and gender equality, (2) improve the redistributive impact of fiscal policy, and (3) allocate more resources to plans and programs promoting gender equality. The ultimate aims are to expand fiscal space and improve public administration.
What governments are doing to improve governance, the case of malawi
The document discusses Malawi's efforts to improve governance through cooperation between various sectors. The government of Malawi worked with civil society, media, academia, and donors like USAID/MCC to increase accountability, transparency, and oversight of government institutions. They strengthened procurement, auditing, and evaluation. Media and civic groups took on larger watchdog roles. Universities provided training to build skills and capacity. Though requiring sustained effort, this comprehensive approach across sectors can be an effective way to promote responsible leadership and good governance.

Webinar: Game Changing Advancement in Fostering Access to Opportunity
http://www.nfg.org/demdev_affh_webinar
Every year, billions of federal dollars are allocated to local governments to foster economic opportunity for low-income people. Yet data shows that concentrated poverty is on the rise, with people of color disproportionately affected. Why are there so many disinvested neighborhoods filled with blight and low-performing schools? Why is it so challenging to place affordable housing in opportunity rich communities? Redlining and other discriminatory practices are now illegal, yet our communities face high and in some cases growing levels of racial and economic segregation. The newly released Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule (AFFH) will require local and state government to use a new approach called an "Assessment of Fair Housing” in determining the use of federal resources to address disparities.
This webinar helped viewers learn more about the AFFH rule, how it can help communities prioritize new strategies for investing in affordable housing, transportation, and healthy neighborhoods, and the critical role for philanthropy in fostering the game changing results for low-income people and communities.

This document discusses inclusive growth and the role of budgetary governance. It notes slow growth, joblessness, and income inequality since the crisis as motivation. The OECD is taking a multidimensional approach to inclusive growth looking at more than just income, focusing on distributional impacts, and broadening policy surveillance. Budgeting can contribute by moving to an inclusive growth framework, evaluating multi-dimensional impacts of budgets, and increasing inclusiveness and engagement in the policy-making process.
A-Practical-Guide-to-Understanding-Social-Costs
This guide provides a four-phase process for quantifying the social costs of issues like homelessness and teen motherhood:
1) Define the social issue by describing the problem, target cohort, prevalence, desired outcomes, and confounding factors.
2) Identify and classify costs by establishing an evidence base, categorizing costs, and refining accountability.
3) Review data sources by mapping sources, identifying gaps, and assessing risks of gaps.
4) Undertake cost analysis by selecting a costing tool, integrating data, selecting a reporting year for analysis and conducting a reasonability test.
The goal is to improve measurement and transparency of costs to enable investment in more preventative and effective programs. Append

The document summarizes a community report card project for 10 towns in western Connecticut led by Western Connecticut State University, Danbury Hospital, and United Way of Western Connecticut. The report card will measure community health and well-being using 37 indicators across topics like access to healthcare, diseases, education, and mental health. Data will be collected by graduate assistants and presented in a printed report and online by May 2008. Feedback will be solicited from stakeholders on the indicators and data. Future phases may expand the scope to additional topics like public safety, recreation, and the environment.
How do you measure value?
The document discusses how to measure value when using agile project management methods. It proposes a 4-step process: 1) develop an organization's "value language" to define what constitutes business value; 2) understand the value-cost tradeoffs of portfolio items down to the feature level; 3) allocate "value points" to capabilities and features; and 4) track value delivered versus costs for each iteration to ensure projects continue delivering value. Examples are provided to illustrate how measuring value iteratively allows projects to finish once enough value has been delivered rather than continuing until all planned work is complete.

Project benefits and impacts measurement
This document discusses measuring the benefits and impacts of projects. It defines benefits as positive impacts and notes there can also be negative impacts. There are "hard" benefits like produced materials/services and "soft" indirect benefits like catalysts for change. Tracking benefits is important for project planning, evaluation, and sustaining outcomes. The document recommends developing a community of practice, adopting a user engagement approach, and using methods like usage data, surveys, and tracking mentions to measure benefits over both the short and long term.
Earned Value Management
The document describes a case study example of how earned value management (EVM) can be used to effectively monitor and manage a project. In the case, a project was given a budget of Rs. 1 million to produce 10 units over 18 months. After 3 months, a status report showed the team was slightly behind schedule but on budget. However, by employing EVM techniques and measuring planned value, earned value, and actual costs, it was revealed that the project was significantly over budget and behind schedule. This allowed corrective actions to be taken early to get the project back on track.
How do you measure value?
The document discusses how to measure value when using an Agile approach. It outlines a 4-step process: 1) Develop a "value language" to define what value means for the organization; 2) Understand the value and cost of each capability down to the feature level; 3) Allocate "value points" to different capabilities and features; 4) Track delivered value versus cost for each iteration to ensure the project continues to provide value. An example is provided to illustrate how tracking value delivery over iterations can show when it makes most sense to finish a project.
Earned Value Analysis - Basic Concepts
In this presentation, Ricardo explains the concept of earned value and its elements, with graphic examples and exercises.

Importance of Quality
The document summarizes a presentation given by John Cover on the importance of quality and its expanded role in organizations. Some key points from the presentation include: that quality used to be seen as the responsibility of separate departments but should actually be embedded in the entire organization's culture; the voices of internal and external customers are important to consider; and empowering all employees and involving them in quality improvement efforts can help elevate an organization. The presentation also discusses the historical contributions of quality experts like Deming and Juran.
Project Cost Management
Cost management involves planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs to complete a project within budget. Common cost estimating techniques include analogous, parametric, and bottom-up estimating. Earned value management is used to measure project performance by comparing planned, earned, and actual costs and schedules.

A critical mass of neighborhood efforts in 300 U.S. cities can save hundreds of billions in annual government costs, while fostering “collective efficacy” and wellbeing in communities nationwide.
Why now: Recent developments in measures (spurred by the proliferation of “public data”), social media (e.g., neighborhood websites), and monetization (e.g., social impact bonds) are “disruptive innovations” that create ripe opportunities for quantum change.

Introduction to Impact Measurement
The document discusses the importance of measuring social impact and provides guidance on developing an impact framework. It emphasizes starting with clear objectives and engaging stakeholders, and introduces tools and principles for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data on inputs, outputs, outcomes and overall impact. The goal is to understand the difference an organization makes and clearly communicate its value to stakeholders.
Judicial Reviews
The summary analyzes a case study involving funding cuts to youth clubs by a county council. The council cut funding to 50% of clubs by randomly selecting them, without considering equality impacts. One affluent urban club (Club X) challenged the decision procedurally. When the council maintained its decision, Club X applied for a judicial review alleging irrational criteria and failure to comply with public sector equality duties. A second application was then brought on behalf of a user of a rural club (Club Y) that lost funding, alleging disproportionate impacts on rural and BAME youth. The assistant is asked to advise on next steps for both challenges considering public law obligations, merits of claims, and provisions in new legislation requiring refusal if outcome would likely
European and HR law
This document summarizes a legal masterclass on positive action and maintaining equality in the workplace. It discusses:
1) The key positive action provisions under the UK Equality Act 2010 which allow employers to take proportionate action to encourage participation among protected groups.
2) A European Court of Justice case which found that a French law allowing more favorable treatment for some women in public sector recruitment was not justified positive action and did not achieve full substantive equality.
3) The need to balance achieving equality of opportunity through compensatory positive action without creating claims of unlawful discrimination from other groups.
Judicial Reviews learning and the future
This document summarizes the role of judicial review in enforcing equality laws, lessons learned from judicial review cases, and recent and potential future changes to judicial review. Specifically, it notes that judicial review is an important mechanism for enforcing laws like the Public Sector Equality Duty. It outlines grounds for challenge like procedural fairness, legality, and rationality. Recent changes like reduced legal aid may decrease the number and quality of challenges. Proposed reforms could further limit standing and increase costs risks.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
