The document summarizes reflections on the United Nations High-level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). It notes that there was a startling consensus reached between countries on pathways to address NCDs. The meeting declarations were more comprehensive than expected in addressing the social determinants of health. However, it raises three conundrums: whether to take a horizontal approach that addresses the underlying causes or a vertical approach focused on specific diseases, whether to focus on low-cost interventions or broader determinants of health, and managing conflicts of interest from economic stakeholders. It concludes there is an opportunity to think big in addressing the global threat of NCDs.

This document discusses various approaches to international cooperation, including unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral approaches. It also lists several global challenges that require international cooperation, such as preventing nuclear proliferation, addressing climate change, and managing cyber governance. Several questions are posed about the state of international cooperation in 2017 and how to improve it going forward. Different aspects of international cooperation are then examined, including the preconditions for cooperation, who should participate, and how to build foundations for cooperation.
Lecture 13 the changing agenda of world politics
This document discusses the changing nature and content of the international agenda. It defines an agenda as the issues currently attracting international attention. Issues can gain prominence on the agenda through both random and planned means, or a combination. Whether an issue rises on the agenda depends on factors like the number affected, its urgency and visibility to key decision makers. International agendas emerge and change as different actors like states, NGOs and individuals work to frame issues according to prevailing norms, laws, policies and levels of governance. Powerful forces can influence what is considered important, but some issues remain important to particular groups despite being off the broader agenda.
International development cooperation today emerging trends and debates
This document summarizes emerging trends in international development cooperation since major UN conferences in the 1990s set goals for poverty reduction, human rights, gender equality and sustainable development. It notes that funding to achieve these goals remains insufficient, and that while the Monterrey Consensus emphasized a holistic financing approach, debates have focused narrowly on aid quantity and quality over issues like social equity and human development. The UN aims to improve development cooperation through multilateral discussions reflecting diverse views and supporting country implementation of agreed commitments through UN agency programs. NGOs contribute expertise to these processes and advocate for new policy directions on issues like gender equality and human rights.

Un tsk team on post 2015
The document discusses lessons from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and considerations for establishing goals after 2015. It argues that while the MDGs increased attention on development aid, they lacked a strong theoretical foundation and became dominated by donor priorities. A post-2015 framework should avoid these pitfalls by incorporating more voices from the global South and having an underlying development theory. It also must address critical issues like rising inequality, unemployment, and climate change that have emerged since 2000 but were not central to the MDGs. Overall, the document argues that the post-2015 agenda needs to be established through an open process and take the form of a globally agreed social contract, not just donor priorities.

The Next Thirty Years
1. The document discusses three major structural developments that will impact leadership over the next 30 years: the rise of digitization and artificial intelligence, increasing pressure on social cohesion due to inequality and populism, and the need to mitigate climate change.
2. Effective leadership will require challenging orthodoxies like neoliberalism, understanding different types of risks including "black swan" risks that are unpredictable but high impact, and aiming for antifragility by reducing fragility to shocks and allowing systems to benefit from volatility.
3. Leaders must recognize complex interconnections between global risks, manage both computable and incomputable risks, and develop balanced strategies that combine aggressiveness and paranoia to build antif

This document provides an overview and summary of the negative impacts of globalization and international organizations that propagate it, specifically the IMF. It discusses how the IMF has shifted from Keynesian ideas to neoliberal ideology focused on deregulation, privatization, and liberalization. While these policies may work in theory, in practice they have often been disastrous for developing countries when implemented too quickly and without consideration for local needs. The IMF is also criticized for its lack of democratic oversight and focus on numbers over social outcomes.
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment.
The recently published Global Risks 2014 report of the World Economic Forum identifies environmental risks as highest in terms of impact and likelihood. Those risks include both natural disasters, such as earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, and man-made risks such as
collapsing ecosystems, freshwater shortages, nuclear accidents and failure to mitigate or adapt to climate change. Failure of climate change mitigation and
adaptation is the fifth top risk concern according to
multi-stakeholders communities (see figure beside).
Climate change is evidence proven and this paper doesn’t intend to explore the causes. However, one can state that climate change is a systemic problem – it is one that touches all the others. As such by its systemic nature, it can cause breakdowns of entire systems and not only a component part. (

This document discusses using independent evaluation to help achieve development goals. It provides context on financing for development discussions since 2002 and the increased complexity with more development partners. It frames the current agenda which focuses on: 1) strengthening domestic public finance; 2) enabling private sector growth; and 3) leveraging jointly funded initiatives. The document aims to extract lessons from past evaluations on these topics to inform current efforts to transform development finance under the sustainable development goals. It focuses on financing challenges but also the importance of country ownership, policy frameworks and institutions for enabling development outcomes.

This document discusses various nonstate actors and their role in global governance. It covers intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), indigenous groups, religious movements, multinational corporations, transnational networks, and other nonstate actors. The number of IGOs and NGOs has grown significantly over time. Major IGOs discussed include the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, European Union, and various regional organizations. NGOs allow individuals to participate globally and often work with IGOs. Religious movements and indigenous groups can also impact global affairs.
MDG's Tutorial Essay - Samarth Chaddha
The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which were established in 2000 as a global agreement to reduce extreme poverty by 2015. The MDGs aimed to address the root causes of poverty through collaborative multi-lateral action and helped foster new partnerships between countries and organizations. While the MDGs had some limitations and critics who argued they did not substantially reduce poverty, they demonstrated the potential of global goal-setting by inspiring national policy changes. The progress made on the MDGs, such as halving extreme poverty rates, shows they were not merely rhetoric. The establishment of the new Sustainable Development Goals building on the MDGs shows their positive impact and the continued commitment to reducing poverty through international cooperation.
Financing the UN Development System : Time for Hard Choices
An important challenge is embedded in the
title of this year’s report: Time for Hard Choices.
In a financing world which is both simple
and complex, the choices are numerous and
what follows are hard decisions about the
allocation of resources. A multilateral
approach to today’s global challenges will
need to use evidence to show its competitive
advantage. From here on, the financing
questions flow.
The intention of this report is to wake us up to the
reality that the financing of the United Nations
development system (UNDS) is currently in the
spotlight of a complex reform agenda. At the same time,
financing is a crucial dimension of a multilateral
approach to addressing the world’s urgent development
challenges. The report showcases the complexities and
innovations within Sustainable Development Goal
(SDG) financing and the need for a firm multilateral
approach when it is best for SDG achievement.

Medsin is a student-run charity that aims to create a network of empowered students who can enact social and political change through education, advocacy, and community action locally, nationally, and globally related to health equity and non-communicable diseases. Their mission is to tackle health inequities by educating on non-communicable diseases, advocating for policies and resources, and supporting activities that work directly on these diseases, especially in neglected groups. They equip students with lifelong tools to work on non-communicable diseases through educational events, campaigns, branches, and involvement in their activities.
Session 1: Modi Mwatsama
The document discusses several UK organizations focused on preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The National Heart Forum is an alliance of 70 organizations that recognizes NCDs have common upstream causes and that global cooperation is needed. It coordinates UK advocacy efforts and builds capacity in developing countries. Other mentioned groups include the Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network, UK NCDs & Development Task Force, and Conflict of Interest Coalition, which aims to provide guidelines for managing conflicts of interest in public policy related to NCDs.

The document discusses training and capacity building efforts for international public health research on NCD prevention. It describes the Cambridge Seminar program which provides epidemiology training to researchers from low and middle income countries. It also highlights several examples of collaborative research projects between researchers from different countries investigating NCD risk factors, interventions for diabetes prevention, and physical activity patterns in rural and urban settings in Africa. The overall aim is to build global capacity to undertake translational public health research for preventing non-communicable diseases.
The arguments for more funding towards tropical infectious
More funding should be allocated towards research for tropical infectious diseases given their disproportionate impact on deaths and illness worldwide. While only a small part of research money currently goes to tropical diseases, eradicating them could significantly improve global welfare and stability. Reallocating a small portion of funds from other disease research like cancer would not hamper progress in those areas, and neglecting tropical diseases could have spillover effects on developed nations as well. An impartial assessment supports allocating research resources according to global health needs.

The document summarizes data from the WHO on the global burden of road traffic injuries. Some key points:
- In 2004, road traffic injuries ranked as the 9th leading cause of burden in Africa and South-East Asia, and the 6th leading cause in the Americas, European, and Western Pacific regions.
- In 2004, road traffic accidents resulted in 1.3 million deaths and injured over 50 million people globally.
- Road traffic accidents account for about a quarter of all injury deaths worldwide, and deaths from road traffic accidents are projected to increase to 2.4 million annually by 2030 primarily in low- and middle-income countries.
Session 3: Ahmed Aboulghate
The document discusses developing quality indicators for the Egyptian primary care system. It notes challenges with current indicators, which mainly focus on structure over process or outcomes. The study aims to choose common conditions seen in primary care, develop evidence-based indicators for those conditions, and pilot the new indicators. This will help measure quality in a more comprehensive way and build a culture of using evidence to inform healthcare policy in Egypt.

The document discusses mental health needs and resources in low- and middle-income countries. It notes that over 450 million people worldwide have psychosocial problems like depression, substance abuse, and schizophrenia, yet less than 1% of health budgets in these countries are spent on mental health. Only about 10-20% of people with psychosocial issues receive treatment. It advocates for a community-based approach to mental healthcare, focusing on capacity building, access to treatment, social integration and empowering patient groups.
Introduction: Richard Smith
This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health in low and middle income countries. It provides context on a 2011 UN meeting on NCDs that did not include mental health. It outlines the large burden of chronic diseases globally in terms of mortality and disability-adjusted life years lost. The main causes of NCDs are identified as tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use. The document questions how best to respond to this growing problem and what must be done, focusing on the need for comprehensive, multi-sector strategies that intervene at both individual and societal levels.
Who Framed Global Development?
The document analyzes the language used in key documents for the UN's Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) process through frame analysis. It finds that the SDG process is fundamentally flawed due to its misframing of poverty, failure to address "development as usual" models, reliance on perpetual GDP growth, and self-contradictory views of the economy-nature relationship. These flaws mean the SDGs carry the seeds of their own failure and will not lead to meaningful change unless the structural causes of issues like poverty are directly confronted. The analysis aims to bring clarity to unstated assumptions and improve the framework.

US Intelligence Council : Global trends 2040
The structural forces of changing demographics, environmental challenges, economic shifts, and advancing technologies are interacting in complex ways and exacerbating fragmentation, disequilibrium, and contestation at all levels of human organization. This is producing a more contested and uncertain world characterized by intensifying global challenges, growing divisions within societies and states, and a more competitive international system strained by rising tensions between major powers. How these dynamics unfold and how human actors respond will determine the trajectory between more optimistic or pessimistic scenarios for the future, from a renaissance of democracies to separate ideological silos. Adaptation to these forces of change will be imperative for all communities, states and the international system.
Global Trends 2040
The structural forces of changing demographics, environmental challenges, economic shifts, and advancing technologies are interacting with human responses to shape emerging dynamics at the societal, state, and international levels. This is creating disequilibrium that is fueling greater contestation within communities, between states, and across the international system. How these dynamics unfold and interact over the next two decades will determine the trajectory of the global order in 2040, with scenarios ranging from a democratic renaissance to separate spheres of international influence. Adaptation to these forces of change will be imperative for all actors.

The Nodes around the world that are part of the Millennium Project have become more important as they now initiate futures research studies on topics relevant to their local regions. The Millennium Project is an independent global think tank made up of Nodes in different countries that conduct interdisciplinary futures research collaboratively. It aims to improve thinking about the future and make those ideas available to policymakers. The Nodes identify local experts to adapt global research to their cultural and institutional contexts and initiate new research studies.
World Futuer Society talk on the Global Situation and Prospects for the Future
This document discusses global challenges and prospects for the future. It outlines 15 major global challenges facing the world today, such as sustainable development, clean water access, climate change, and more. It presents the current situation for each challenge as well as the desired situation. It then discusses the development of a Global Futures Intelligence System to help address these challenges through collective intelligence and ongoing analysis. This system would gather input from experts worldwide and use tools like forecasting models to study long-term global trends and produce just-in-time knowledge to help with decision making. The goal is for this system to help "win the race" between implementing solutions and the increasing complexity of global problems.
The Global Situation and Prospects
Presented by Jerome Glenn
How do we handle the world’s major challenges? This session will provide a framework to better understand global change and what is strategic for the future of civilization. Worldwide synergies and cross-impacts will be cited among sustainable development, climate change, water, demographics, democratization, ICT, development gaps, health and disease, global foresight and decision making, conflict and security, gender relations, organized crime, energy, S&T, global ethics, and education.

Group Paper VI - Global Governance of Development - v2.0
This document provides an overview of the concepts, actors, debates, and goals related to global development governance. It begins by outlining some theoretical tools for understanding globalization's impact on development, including changing notions of governance, ideas of progress, and time-space compression. It then reviews the historical evolution of development concepts from economic growth to social and human development. The document examines major development institutions and critiques of contemporary practices. It analyzes efforts to establish development goals through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and proposes Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a future framework. In conclusion, it explores ongoing debates around defining and achieving development in the modern global context.
Governance and Global Public Policy
This document outlines a lecture on governance and global public policy. It discusses conceptual frameworks for understanding global public policy, including how governance processes consider decision making and resource management. Globalization has reconfigured the role of states through partnerships and networks. Global public policy has emerged to address transboundary, common, and simultaneous problems. A successful case of global public policy is the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which has been widely adopted with progress in related policies. However, the document argues that while global organizations define problems and advocate for policies, implementation and compliance remain more under the purview of nation states due to their focus on outcomes over processes in governance. A balance of shared beliefs and power distribution is needed in global governance theory and practice.

"Sustainable development has become diverted from its central purposes and instead been appropriated to describe and just if approaches which are far more concerned with the demands of the present than the needs of the future." - Andrew Blowers, Jan Boersema, Adrian Martin.
Globalization Essay: The Role of State, The University of Cambridge, Mphil in...
This document provides a 3154 word summary of a student paper on whether developing countries need a strong and effective state to take advantage of opportunities in global markets. It begins by outlining the key factors that contribute to an effective state, including strong performance by various public and private actors working together. It then discusses how developing countries often need to improve governance to become more competitive globally. While an effective state is important, the role of the state declines in neo-liberal capitalism. The document examines the historical use of protectionism by now-developed countries and challenges for developing countries in globalization. It concludes by noting various policy challenges for developing country governments, such as gradual liberalization and managing monetary issues.
From Poverty to Power
This document provides an overview and discussion of a new book and initiative called From Poverty to Power by Oxfam. The book reflects on the state of global development and aims to start a conversation among current and next generation development leaders. It discusses a vision of empowering communities worldwide with education, health, rights, and voice. While inequality is falling in some countries, it is rising in many others. The document explores challenges in development work around issues like inequality, religion, urbanization, effective states, migration, humanitarianism, accountability, and institutional change. It promotes using new media like YouTube to engage broader audiences on these topics.
1HARNESSING THE UN SYSTEM INTO A COMMON APPROACH ON .docx
This document discusses different perspectives on communication for development within the UN system and proposes strategies to promote a more unified approach. It notes that while UN agencies share the goal of development, they sometimes pursue conflicting strategies due to differing theoretical assumptions. A top-down "diffusion" model that emphasizes message dissemination is compared to a bottom-up "participatory" approach that stresses local involvement. The document recommends cultural sensitivity, participation at all levels, and cooperation between agencies to harmonize communication efforts and fast-track progress on the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
Cash transfers literature review
This document provides a literature review on cash transfers in developing countries. It acknowledges the rapid expansion of large-scale cash transfer programs globally that now reach between 0.75-1 billion people. The evidence shows that while cash transfers primarily aim to reduce poverty and vulnerability, they can also contribute to a wide range of development outcomes including human development, economic growth, empowerment, humanitarian assistance, social cohesion, and climate change adaptation. The review examines evidence on different cash transfer instruments, design choices, costs and financing options. It emphasizes the need to strengthen monitoring and evaluation of results and continue building the evidence base, including through DFID's research and partnerships.

Global mental health is a significant public health issue, with around 450 million people worldwide suffering from neuropsychiatric conditions. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Large international studies like the 10/66 study have helped measure the prevalence of mental disorders across different countries and cultures, finding that conditions like dementia and depression are highly prevalent and associated with substantial disability. However, there remain many barriers to improving mental health globally, including insufficient funding, stigma, and lack of trained healthcare workers. Advocacy is needed to promote human rights and reduce treatment gaps for mental disorders.
Session 1: David Stuckler
The UN High Level Meeting on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) recognized NCDs as a major global challenge and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Key outcomes of the meeting included agreeing to develop voluntary global targets for NCD prevention by the end of 2012 and calling for multisectoral approaches across government sectors to address social and environmental risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. While the meeting raised awareness of the growing NCD burden, some critics argued it lacked specific funding commitments and targets to drive real progress against NCDs at a global level.
Introduction to issues in research funding allocation
Abstract
Charities, governments and other funders of research must prioritise the areas in which they allocate research funding. An old but unresolved issue, is the weight that should be given to questions that the general public feel need urgent answers. Other groups remind us of the unsolved pressing issues of the developing world and the responsibility we have developing preventive measures and treatments for tropical and orphan diseases.
This keynote lecture, delivered by Professor Martin Bobrow, will introduce us to some considerations relating to science funding in this. Should global disease priorities, achievability of research goals or research quality be guiding funding allocation? As a society, do we need ethical guidelines that would drive future research agendas? Are these guidelines more urgently needed in recession times?
