Art of Business Transformation by Sohag Sarkar
The paper analyzes the end-to-end process of Telecom
Business Transformation (which can be applied to other Industries as well). Today majority of the Telcos around the globe are engaged in a business transformation in some form or the other. A business transformation is required to keep pace with the internal and/or the external factors within the Telco. An internal factor maybe defined as an initiative which is driven from within the organization, example “Sustenance like keeping pace with the subscriber growth”. While on the other hand, an external factor may also drive an organization to initiate a business transformation like the readiness for Mobile Number Portability.
Business Transformations are critical to the success of an organization in near as well as long term. The same is required to provide the necessary fillip to an organization and the competitive advantage in the market place. Therefore, getting a business transformation “first time right” is crucial and the paper analyzes all aspects that essentially contribute to the success of a transformation program: Definition of Business Case, Resource deployment, Planning & Budgeting, Partner & Product Selection, Stakeholder Management, Performance Management, Change Management and overall Program Management.
The paper aims at assimilating the knowledge garnered during the implementation of large scale telecom business transformations within and outside the country. And present the key challenges faced by various Telcos in an anecdote manner and introspects the proactive resolution that would have helped in the transformation journey.
The Role of the Military Component in Child Protection in Armed Conflict
The military component in peacekeeping missions is mandated by the UN Security Council to protect civilians, including children. They are expected to prevent, monitor, and report the six grave violations against children as defined by the UN. This involves understanding the operational environment, identifying threats and vulnerabilities, and working with child protection actors to develop plans to deter threats and consolidate protection efforts. The military's role includes pre-deployment training, induction training upon arrival, and ensuring reporting and information sharing with child protection actors. For the military to effectively fulfill its protection mandate, it needs clear mandates, rules of engagement, and sufficient resources and capabilities.

Standard Operating Procedures- Uganda
The Uganda Peoples Defence Forces began working with UNICEF in 2006 when the Secretary General's Special Representative entered a memorandum with Uganda regarding children associated with armed conflict. At the time, UPDF was listed in the UN as having children in its army ranks. The memorandum required Uganda to comply with international law on child soldiers, implement a monitoring mechanism, and develop an action plan. Uganda's action plan included sensitizing stakeholders, monitoring laws, removing any children found, and enacting legislation against recruitment of children. These actions were successfully implemented, leading to UPDF's delisting from the UN report.
Impact of Conflict on Public Investment in Children
This document summarizes the impact of conflict on public investment in children. It discusses how conflict can decrease government revenue, lead to changes in budget allocations that prioritize security over social sectors, and compromise public financial management systems. An example is given of South Sudan, where conflict reduced GDP, increased debt, diverted foreign aid to emergencies, and caused security spending to account for 36% of the budget, crowding out social expenditures. The document also outlines recommendations for investing in children before, during, and after conflicts, such as building resilience, safeguarding education and health budgets during conflict, and strengthening revenue collection post-conflict.
South Sudan: Two Years On

Africa Child Policy Forum (ACPF) Research Findings – Study on Gender and Chil...
The document summarizes a study on gender and child rights in five Eastern African countries. It finds that while laws have been established to protect children's rights, discriminatory customary laws and lack of enforcement have impeded full implementation. Key issues facing girls include child marriage, economic exploitation, and lack of inheritance rights. The document recommends that governments ratify international standards, ensure gender sensitivity in laws and policies, and address biases to build resilience for girls.
Child Sensitive Social Protection
This document discusses child sensitive social protection. It begins by providing context on global poverty levels and demographics in sub-Saharan Africa. It then defines social protection according to various organizations and provides examples of social protection instruments targeted at different life stages. The document discusses how social protection correlates to the Sustainable Development Goals and reviews intended and unintended impacts of programs in India, Ethiopia, and Peru. It concludes by defining child sensitive social protection as policies and programs that address children's specific vulnerabilities and poverty patterns while maximizing positive impacts on children.
Child participation in Maban, South Sudan
Save the Children operates in Maban County, South Sudan, providing education and child protection programs for refugees and internally displaced people. They incorporate child participation in several ways: (1) establishing children's clubs in schools to give children a voice, (2) engaging children in disaster risk mapping and response planning, and (3) having children help design and present radio programs, booklets, and workshops. However, challenges to greater child participation include low literacy rates, lack of resources to engage all children, cultural practices that reduce children's opportunities, and environmental factors like drought and conflict.
World Humanitarian Summit Children Consultation
The document outlines plans for a consultation with children in Eastern Africa to influence the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit. It describes 3 tools that will be used - a survey, mapping, and creative arts tool. The consultation aims to understand children's experiences with vulnerabilities, risks, and humanitarian aid to develop recommendations in 4 areas: humanitarian effectiveness, reducing vulnerability, serving people in conflict, and transformation through innovation. Field workers will be trained and are asked to conduct the consultation with 150-300 children using the tools over a brief period to gather their perspectives and priorities to shape humanitarian assistance.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
