African agricultural development: lessons and challenges
African agricultural development has fluctuated between periods of optimism and pessimism over the past century. Recent decades saw stagnation but since the 1990s growth has improved. Statistics show rising production values, yields, and incomes across much of Africa. Studies find smallholder farmers gradually intensifying crops for markets through own initiative more than public programs. Consensus exists that rural investment in infrastructure, education, and technology can help but big challenges remain in improving factor markets. Initiatives experimenting with subsidies, contracts, and rural finance show potential to reduce risks and transaction costs, leveraging private capital, but more learning is needed from diverse country experiences. While agricultural progress provides cautious optimism, Africa's greater long term challenge may be developing manufacturing and urban

This document summarizes a project by CARE International to promote gender equality in water resource management in Same District, Tanzania. Key points:
1) Before the project, women faced disadvantages in accessing scarce water resources due to cultural norms and power imbalances. Women's livelihoods highly depended on water.
2) The project conducted gender analyses and established gender equitable practices like mandatory female membership in water committees, champion farmers including many women, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower women economically.
3) The project has led to impacts like increased participation of women in decision making, strengthened local water governance, increased agricultural productivity empowering women economically, and adoption of soil and waterSave The Children
This document is Save the Children's 2004 "State of the World's Mothers" report, which focuses on the challenges faced by young mothers around the world. It finds that pregnancy is the leading cause of death for adolescent girls in poor countries and their babies face higher risks of death. Millions of girls drop out of school early and marry young. The report ranks 50 countries where early motherhood is especially severe, with Niger ranked as most perilous. It recommends keeping girls in school longer and increasing access to reproductive healthcare as ways to help young mothers and their children.

Gerald Mutinda, Regional Manager, East Africa Dairy Devt Project
This document summarizes the East Africa Dairy Development Project, which aimed to double incomes for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. It did this by establishing dairy hubs - centers where farmers could access services like artificial insemination, veterinary care, inputs, and sell their milk. Over 200,000 farmers joined cooperatives that used these hubs. As a result, milk production increased from less than 20 million liters annually to over 340 million liters. Farmers' incomes increased from less than $5 million to over $103 million in payments. The hubs proved an effective model for unlocking rural economies by attracting investment and stimulating employment.

Chimsah francis uds ghana the act of propagating shea
This document discusses different propagation methods for shea (Vitellaria paradoxa), including propagation by seed, air layering, and grafting.
Propagation by seed involves collecting seeds from mature trees and either planting them directly or after a pre-germination period. Air layering is done by girdling, wrapping, and allowing a branch to root before removing it from the tree. Grafting involves joining a scion from a mature tree to a rootstock to reduce the tree's maturity period. Both top grafting and side grafting techniques are used. Success rates for air layering and grafting of shea can be up to 65% and 80%, respectively. Proper timing, materials

3. Authentic stories about social good and impact can enhance marketing, but must come after establishing good, functional products.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdf
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
