Aid and Development Policy
This document discusses perspectives on foreign aid and development policy. It outlines different types of aid and perspectives on its effectiveness. There are seen to be three main perspectives: radicals who reject aid as post-colonial guilt; sceptics who believe aid often does more harm than good by creating dependencies and hindering free markets; and optimists who believe aid can be effective if countries have ownership over projects and goals. The document also discusses the Paris Declaration which established principles to improve aid effectiveness through country ownership, donor coordination, and mutual accountability.

Private Aid and the Financing of Development
Private development assistance (PDA) from foundations, corporations, and non-profits totals around $45-60 billion annually, roughly equal to official development assistance (ODA). PDA focuses on economic development and humanitarian needs through concessional loans and grants. While PDA bypasses some issues with ODA like corruption and strategic interests, it also lacks coordination, data, and accountability. Moving forward, the PDA community aims to develop effectiveness standards and link more closely with ODA institutions to help shape the post-2015 development agenda.

States of Fragility 2015
1) The document discusses moving from viewing fragile situations as "fragile states" and instead focusing on "states of fragility" to acknowledge fragility as an issue that can affect any state.
2) It notes reducing poverty in fragile contexts will require building resilient institutions, as fragile states are less likely to achieve goals like the Millennium Development Goals.
3) The allocation of development assistance needs to be better targeted, as currently only a small portion goes to areas like security, justice and political reform that directly address fragility.

Paying for Success: Catalysing Private Investment for DevelopmentStockholm Institute of Transition Economics
1. Paying for success models can catalyze private investment in development by making subsidies conditional on performance results. This approach avoids issues like moral hazard, improves targeting of funds, and promotes competition that come with traditional subsidies and guarantees.
2. Impact bonds and development impact bonds are examples of paying for success models that have been used to fund girls' education in India and reduce recidivism in the UK. There is large potential to expand these models given private wealth that will be inherited in coming decades.
3. Careful design is needed to ensure subsidies through paying for success models incentivize additionality and are not distortionary. Examples from Peru in the 1990s show such models can mobilize more than 10Armenia pitchfile

This document discusses maximizing the developmental impact of remittances through private sector services. It defines key terms like remittances and diaspora investments. It highlights the challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa of low formal remittance inflows and limited diaspora private sector investments. Actions are proposed at the origin country, host country, and multilateral institution levels, as well as engaging diaspora communities and the private sector.

Finance for Sustainable Development
This policy brief covers a discussion on finance for sustainable development held during a full day conference at the Stockholm School of Economics on May 11, 2015. The event was organized jointly by the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and was the fifth installment of Development Day – a yearly development policy conference. With the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expiring in 2015, the members of the United Nations are now in the process of defining a post-2015 development agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) build on the eight anti-poverty targets in the MDG but also include a renewed emphasis on environmental and social sustainability. Whatever targets or goals will be agreed upon in the end, we know for certain that reaching the objectives will require substantial financial resources, far beyond the current levels of official development assistance (ODA). To discuss this issue, the conference brought together a distinguished and experienced group of policy-oriented scholars and practitioners from government agencies, international organizations, civil society and the business community.

This document provides an overview of a side event at the 2010 AfDB Annual Meetings on mobilizing the African diaspora for capacity building and development, with a focus on fragile states. The event objectives are to: (1) share experiences on engaging diasporas from countries like China, India, and South Korea; (2) connect African governments to diaspora expert networks; and (3) identify the Bank's role in building stakeholder capacity. The rationale is that fragile states have lost human capital due to conflicts and need diasporas' skills and investments for development. The expected outcomes are for stakeholders to learn best practices, strengthen partnerships between diasporas and governments, and provide input on the Bank's

Microfinance tourism report
For decades, both microfinance and tourism have been promoted as key strategies for global poverty alleviation. Microfinance can offer people living in poverty, especially those considered ‘unbankable’, the necessary financial and educational support to engage in entrepreneurial activities, while tourism has the capacity to reduce poverty via economic development and global citizenship education. Microfinance tourism (MFT) emerged in 2008 as an innovative approach that pioneers the integration of microfinance and tourism for poverty alleviation purposes. This report provides a summary of research findings from interviews with people who have has involvement with 6 MFT organisations in Vietnam, Mexico, Tanzania and Jordan. The report is part of a larger PhD research project which analyses and evaluates the extent to which MFT is an effective vehicle for poverty alleviation in developing countries

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) can play an important role in harnessing remittances for development. MFIs have a large presence in rural areas and knowledge of client needs that allows them to transform remittances into productive activities like savings, credit, insurance, and investments. However, MFIs currently represent less than 3% of remittance payers due to issues like lack of competition in the remittance market, low financial access in rural areas, and lack of capacity for MFIs to deliver remittance products and services. The document discusses some initiatives by INAFI member organizations to promote partnerships between MFIs, diaspora organizations, and remittance services. It also outlines

This document proposes a taxonomy for blended finance in agriculture and reviews evidence of blended finance approaches. It identifies key challenges in tracking blended finance flows and data sources. The main players in blended finance for agriculture include governments, donors, DFIs, investors, banks, agri-SMEs, and value chain partners. Blended finance aims to address market failures and mobilize private capital by using development grants and concessional loans to de-risk investments and make them more attractive to private investors.

Project Greenback is an initiative to expand affordable remittance services for migrants. It launched in Turin, Italy in 2013 and has since expanded to locations in Europe and plans to launch in Southeast Asia, North America, and Haiti in 2015. The project takes an inclusive approach, working with remittance senders, public authorities, market players, community organizations and academics. It uses various strategies like financial education, market monitoring, migrant-led activities and workshops to promote competition and transparency. Evaluation of the Turin project found users had become more dynamic over time in changing remittance channels and more informed about costs, and more migrants were opening bank accounts.

The document discusses Malaysia's money services business regulatory framework that supports the growth of remittance businesses. It notes that there are 33 non-bank remittance service providers that have over 2000 access points nationwide through branches and agents. Total outward remittances from Malaysia have been growing steadily under this regulatory regime, increasing at an average annual rate of 24.4% from 2011 to 2014. Promoting awareness of formal remittance channels and expanding financial inclusion among target groups like migrant workers and SMEs is an initiative proposed to further develop the remittance market.
Pedro de vasconcelos
This document discusses strategies for maximizing the impact of remittances and migration. It recommends strengthening remittance markets through promoting competition, using intermediaries like microfinance institutions and postal services, and innovative models like mobile payments. It also suggests promoting financial inclusion through distribution channels, financial literacy programs, and cross-selling financial products. Finally, it proposes promoting investment of remittances and migrant savings through identifying investment opportunities, developing productive investment models like funds and bonds, and supporting skill development and entrepreneurship.

The document discusses the work of FOMIN, a development organization that promotes financial inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean. FOMIN works to pilot private sector solutions that empower low-income populations through equity investments, loans, and grants. It focuses on areas of finance, markets, and basic services. One of FOMIN's initiatives is a Remittances and Savings Program that funds 10 projects to promote the development of savings products targeted at remittance clients, with the goal of helping 40 million remittance recipients in the region access savings accounts. The program provides technical assistance and up to $500k per project for activities like product design, financial education, and testing new distribution channels for savings accounts.
David khoudour
David Khoudour presented at the 2015 Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan, Italy. He discussed how public policies can create an enabling environment for using remittances to finance development. Khoudour categorized public policies into migration policies, migration-related development policies, and non-migration sectoral development policies. Sectoral development policies in areas like financial services, agriculture, education, health, and social protection can influence remittance flows and investment by either complementing or substituting for remittances. Coordinating policies across sectors and better integrating migration into development strategies can improve how remittances support development.

This document discusses leveraging migration, remittances, and diaspora for financing sustainable development. It notes that remittances total $440 billion globally, with $135 billion going to developing countries in Africa and Venezuela paying exorbitantly high costs of 8-12% and 20% for transfers within Africa. The document outlines monitoring remittance flows, expanding access to financial services for recipients, and developing capital market access for developing countries as areas that could help maximize development impact. It estimates that reducing costs, tapping diaspora savings and bonds, reducing migrant worker fees, and using future remittance flows as collateral could potentially mobilize over $100 billion for development.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
