Pradeep Kurukulasuriya's presentation at the UNDP Last Mile Conference uncovers the economics of adaptation.
Climate information and early warning systems can save lives, improve livelihoods and build resiliency across Africa. In order to seize this opportunity, timely, accurate and actionable weather and climate information must be delivered from data collection and creation sources across the “Last Mile” to uninformed and vulnerable end-users.
In this innovation-driven multi-country workshop, experts on cutting-edge technology, communications, public-private partnerships, meteorology and sustainable development will come together to explore new pathways to move from the collection of data to its application, with the end goal of creating actionable recommendations that UNDP-supported climate-information programmes can leverage to impact lives and build sustainability. For this to happen, national weather information services should not only have access to modern weather observation technologies and forecast information, but they must also be able to communicate and apply the content derived from these systems to those in need.
Presentation hold by Jean-François Maystadt, Researcher at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), as part of the second panel of the 30th edition of the Brussels Briefing on “Agricultural resilience in the face of crisis and shocks", organized by CTA in collaboration with the ACP Secretariat, the EC/DEVCO, Concord, and IFPRI on 4th March 2013.

POLICY SEMINAR
Boosting Growth to End Hunger by 2025 in Africa: The Role of Social Protection
MAY 2, 2019 - 12:15 PM TO 01:45 PM EDT
"Looking Ahead" Post-Ebola Strategy in West Africa is the first in a series of planned webinars, where we invite knowledgeable individuals and participants to join the post-Ebola strategy in West Africa discussion.
During the webinars, experts from different backgrounds, will outline their view on the Ebola Crisis and most importantly, share their vision on what needs to be done now, and post-Ebola, to ensure aversion of further political and economic disturbances.
The fast spread of the Ebola virus has major consequences on the African countries it has hit the hardest: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
Besides the death tolls and associate losses, the countries are also facing great danger because of the economic consequences the virus carries.
Sierra Leone and Liberia, two of the most hit countries, have both recently come out of more than a decade of gruesome civil wars and the set back of the disease does not help with the stabilization of the economies. Their democracies are fragile and the deprivation from the Ebola crisis could be a trigger for political disruption.
The youth played a major role in those conflicts as a result of economic and social marginalization. Without a post-Ebola strategy to ensure the youth a future of economic and social stability, there may be unforeseeable instabilities.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZER:
Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement, (AYM) empowers and mobilizes Africa’s youth through employment. The AYM is dedicated to developing new and exciting enterprise opportunities for young people in Sierra Leone, to help provide young people with the confidence, power and skills they need to get themselves into employment and out of poverty.
Mobilizing Africa’s unemployed and underemployed youth is the key to the continent’s economic growth and stability. AYM works to mobilize marginalized youth through education, training, and employment, creating entrepreneurial opportunities to help move communities away from poverty, disease, and hunger. AYM aims to establish personal empowerment and community resilience by energizing the continent’s youth population, its most critical resource in the reversal of social and economic stagnation.

Useful information about extreme poverty in Bangladesh and interesting lessons and insights about how to address it. For example: “Three principles for engaging with extreme poor (a blended approach): ensure sufficient present security to enable people to start planning in the future through direct support for sustainable subsistence; combine present survival with future provision for children; and support safety nets, insurance and social protection to cope with vulnerability, uncertainties, hazards and shocks”. For inclusive market facilitators the question then becomes: how can we use market systems to realise those principles? Many thanks to the authors, Joe Devine and Geof Wood, who gave their authorisation to share their work here.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

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

The vulnerability-wealth conundrum in pastoral areas: what role for social protection?
1. The vulnerability-wealth
conundrum in pastoral areas:
what role for social protection?
Jeremy Lind
Future Agricultures Consortium/Institute of Development Studies
2. Diverging pastoralisms in the Horn
• Deepening vulnerability alongside burgeoning livestock trades
• Destitution is widespread in many pastoral areas - poverty seems to
worsen alongside economic growth and intensifying integration
• Vulnerability is a moving target
• To what extent does livestock commercialisation in the region help
reduce poverty? What else is needed to address present high levels of
vulnerability and destitution? Over the longer-term, how can
sustainable transitions out of livestock-keeping be supported?
3. Emergence of social protection
• Programmes and projects are mushrooming across the region
• Many began as efforts to promote alternatives to perennial food aid
• Social protection is not just safety nets:
• Large scale, predictable safety nets: PSNP, HSNP and SAGE
• Public works programming (public workfare programmes taking root across the
Horn)
• Unconditional transfers
• Labour programmes – but not yet in pastoral areas?
• Insurance – index-based, largely in response to weather risks
4. Scope of programming
• Still limited reach in pastoral areas although significant
experimentation
• PSNP has greatly expanded its coverage in pastoral areas since 2010
• HSNP set to double its coverage as it is subsumed within Kenya’s NSNP
• Djibouti SSN
• NGO push for long-term predictable assistance in Somalia
• Largely funded by development donors… but emphasis on scaling-up
and increasing treasury allocations for social assistance
5. What are we talking about?
• Diverse livelihoods and livelihood situations
• Social protection for pastoralists vs social protection for pastoral areas
6. Social protection for pastoralists
• Aim is to protect livestock owning households from falling below a
minimum subsistence level as well as a threshold under which their
continued involvement in livestock-keeping as the basis of their livelihood
is compromised
• Focus is on delivering critical inputs to sustain herds as well as helping to
rebuild herds
• Use of a narrower range of instruments such as livestock insurance
alongside complementary, timely interventions financed through
contingency funds in destocking and restocking, emergency feeding and
watering of livestock, and rangeland reseeding
7. Social protection for pastoral areas
• Implies the need for a broader, more mixed approach, encompassing
assistance for populations no longer significantly reliant on livestock-
keeping for their livelihood.
• A significant proportion of the population living in pastoral areas is mostly
or permanently sedentary, and involved in a range of work off the range.
• Unconditional transfers, labour programmes, investments in infrastructure
and basic needs
• ‘[t]he development needs of pastoral people are basic human needs, things
that are important whether one is a pastoralist or not’ (Morton and Kerven)
8. Where is innovation apparent?
• Insurance programming – definitely part of the SP mix but limited
experimentation in pastoral areas and dogged by doubts over its
commercial viability
• Contingency funding and risk financing
• Use of new technologies – smart cards (linked to single registry?),
