CSOs play an important role in Tanzania by advocating for policies that benefit citizens and holding the government accountable. They influence trade policies through representation on technical working groups, conducting policy campaigns and research, and lobbying decision-makers. However, CSOs face challenges in advocacy like lack of legal frameworks for participation, weak relationships between organizations, and lack of funding and skills. Strengthening partnerships between sectors and building CSO capacity could help ensure peoples' rights and sustainable development.

CSOs and VCscs, Blum-Samuelsen 29Oct13
The paper starts out by examining the civil society strategy of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which forms the basis for public NGO financing in Denmark. The assessment of the Danish policy environment includes extensive reference to a paper on the role of civil society in pro-poor growth initiatives prepared by CISU, an umbrella and fund for smaller Danish NGOs. Secondly, a couple of studies on the experiences of Danish NGOs working with the private sector are presented. Starting from a short reference to the role of NGOs and private sector in the area of microfinance, the paper then presents the role of the NGO in the development of pro-poor value chains including the planning and analysis process. Interventions are further specified in terms of a number of areas in which NGOs can support lead firms and small producers followed by a presentation of a number of ways that NGOs can ensure that working with the private sector indeed benefits the very poor.

Session 3 Wb Cso Engagement Vietnam Presentation
CSOs in Vietnam have become gradually involved in partnerships with the government and World Bank, but these partnerships remain limited. CSOs occasionally contribute to development planning and policy dialogues in an informal capacity. However, there is a lack of formal and transparent information sharing mechanisms. Additionally, CSOs do not have a clearly defined role in monitoring and evaluating World Bank projects in Vietnam or in discussions around development frameworks. The legal framework for CSOs provides bureaucratic discretion that can hinder their development and operations. Strengthening partnerships will require more formal participation of CSOs in planning, monitoring, and policy discussions as well as an improved enabling legal environment.
Penganggaran Partisipatif (Participatory Budgeting)
This document discusses citizen participation in budgeting processes, specifically participatory budgeting. It covers several key points:
1) Participatory budgeting aims to involve citizens in the budgeting process to allocate resources in a more democratic way. This can foster good governance, transparency, social justice, and better-informed citizens.
2) Effective participation requires representation from all citizens, not just certain groups, and that governments genuinely consider citizens' input.
3) Case studies show how participatory budgeting has been implemented successfully in places like Porto Alegre to distribute resources more evenly and give citizens more influence.
4) Initiatives to improve transparency and accountability through citizen participation can make budget information more accessible
Current Political Environment of nepal
Nepal has experienced significant political instability in recent decades, transitioning from a monarchy to a democratic republic. Major democratic movements in the 1990s and 2000s sought to curb the king's power and establish a democratic system of government. However, the country still faces political deadlock and unrest as different ethnic groups demand more autonomy. Ongoing disputes over the new constitution and devastating earthquakes in 2015 have exacerbated Nepal's political and economic challenges.

Equitable tax system
The document proposes a project for Pakistan that aims to create a more equitable tax system and increase domestic resource mobilization. It would do this by enhancing the capacity of civil society and tax authorities to advocate for reforming Pakistan's regressive tax laws and policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy. This includes eliminating tax exemptions, broadening the tax base to cover more sectors, and reducing political influence over the tax system. The goals are to generate more tax revenue to fund basic services for citizens and reduce inequality as outlined in the UN SDGs. Key activities would include training, public awareness campaigns, lobbying lawmakers, and research to advocate for a fairer, more progressive tax system.

Lessons Learned from Constitution-making: Processes with Broad Based Public P...
The élection of the Constituent Assembly in Tunisia is a milestone on the path towards a stable, peaceful and democratic future. Now one of the most important challenges is to ensure that the people of Tunisia can adequately participate in the constitution-making process. The democratic revolution that unified Tunisians should not be translated into a technocratic process with little public involvement and understanding.
Although there are various approaches to participatory constitution-making, past decades have seen a clear trend towards broad public participation in constitutional reform all over the world. Such public participation entails the direct involvement of citizens in constitution-making, giving them a chance to influence decision-makers and the outcome of the process.
This trend is supported by international law, notably the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR establishes minimum obligations for participation in public affairs that are also applicable to constitution making processes and give citizens an individual right to participate in constitution-making. While this right may be subject to conditions, namely whether citizens participate directly or through representatives, it must not be restricted in unreasonable or discriminatory ways.
Political environment- Chapter 2- In Nepal

- The constitution establishes directives, fundamental rights, and state policies related to economy, labor, employment, and international relations.
- Major political parties and the government structure divided into legislative, executive, and judicial branches are outlined.
- Political risk factors for business and techniques for analyzing these risks are also described.

Political environment
The document discusses the relationship between government and business. It states that the two institutions determine domestic and foreign policy and influence each other. The government's policies and ideology shape the business system, while a stable political environment allows businesses to take risks and grow. The relationship is reciprocal, as businesses pay taxes, support social programs, and provide feedback to the government, while the government provides infrastructure, credit, and protects businesses.
Chapter 2 political enviroment
Political instability, corruption, terrorism, labor unrest, and bureaucratic obstacles pose challenges to businesses in Nepal's political environment. Frequent changes in government and economic policies have created uncertainty, while strikes, bandhs, and violence disrupt business operations. Corruption increases costs, and weak protection of intellectual property rights hurts firms. Political risks in Nepal include ownership risks from potential property seizure, operating risks from interference, and transfer risks limiting funds movement. The impacts of these political problems include factory closures, investment deterrence, and economic instability negatively affecting the overall business climate.
Ghana’s pfm stakeholder dynamics
The document discusses public financial management (PFM) in Ghana and the roles of key stakeholders. It describes how the Canadian Parliamentary Centre has worked with Ghana's parliament since 1994 to strengthen PFM through various committees. Civil society organizations monitor government spending and corruption. The media landscape has expanded significantly and now scrutinizes financial issues. However, the private sector's involvement in PFM remains limited mostly to business policy discussions. Overall, strengthening Ghana's parliament and its ability to oversee the executive is important for democracy and accountability.
2015 State Factor: Charitable Giving
This State Factor examines the relationship between state tax policies and charitable giving. It summarizes research finding that higher state taxes are associated with lower levels of charitable giving. Specifically, a 1 percentage point increase in state income tax burden is associated with a 0.35% decrease in charitable donations per dollar of state income. The document discusses the important role of charitable organizations in addressing social issues and argues they are often more effective than government programs in providing services due to greater flexibility and accountability from relying on voluntary donations rather than tax funds. It maintains that state policies should consider how to encourage charitable giving."

The purpose of this parliamentary document is to review the state of implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), in particular the National Programme of Action (NPoA), and the role that civil society can play in ensuring that the NPoA is comprehensively implemented. The document assesses this important concepts and processes in the context of the Developmental State, illustrating the potential of APRM to foster and propel States towards achieving this status through building and gainfully utilizing important partnerships with civil society. The paper examines the World Bank and IMG-sponsored Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) as a comparable approach to governance mechanisms, from which lessons can be drawn. It also underscores the unique architecture, concepts and principles in the APRM process that avoid some of the potential pitfalls that beset PRSP and other existing governance mechanisms in Africa.
The paper further looks at some of the strategies that civil society has employed in various APRM country processes and which strategies have worked well and can be improved. It then addresses challenges that civil society organizations (CSOs) have faced in the pursuit of good governance through the APRM process. The prospects for future CSO participation and use of the NPoA as a tool for constructing as a Developmental State are also propounded in the paper, with a view of informing policymakers on areas that may need strengthening and re-orientation.

The document discusses the key stakeholders in Tanzania's national trade policy process and their roles and influence. It identifies the main stakeholders as government bodies, farmers/cooperatives, workers unions, industrialists, traders, academics/researchers, NGOs, political parties, and special interest groups. While many groups have a stake in trade policy, the most influential are industrial organizations like manufacturers' associations due to their resources and unified interests. Strengthening stakeholders' participation requires addressing lack of knowledge and resources through training programs. Ongoing public-private dialogue platforms are also important to ensure all voices can be heard in developing trade policy.

2001 Emerging Voice and Survival of Small NGOs
This document discusses small not-for-profit organizations (SNGOs) and the importance of their voice and survival. It begins by defining SNGOs and outlining their history of emerging in response to community needs. The document then summarizes the value SNGOs provide through flexible, innovative services and by giving voice to underrepresented communities. However, SNGOs face threats due to economic pressures and lack of a collective voice. The final sections discuss VOICE for SONG, a coalition formed to advocate for SNGOs and ensure their survival by developing a representative national body. The challenges of getting the SNGO voice heard are also addressed.
Background paper on public consultation and trade
“Strengthening relations with citizens is a sound investment in better
policy-making and a core element of good governance. It allows
governments to tap new sources of policy-relevant ideas, information
and resources when making decisions. Equally important, it
contributes to building public trust in government, raising the quality
of democracy and strengthening civic capacity”.

Civil society and value chains v4
Studies of Danish NGOs promoting income generation and pro-poor growth highlight that there is a widespread uncertainty about the role of NGOs in private sector development and to which extent the civil society strategy can allow NGOs to engage with market actors in their efforts to alleviate poverty (CISU 2012; NGO Forum 2012). Also there is a sense that the private sector is the opponent to development rather than a necessary source of income to the poor themselves. This paper seeks to clarify the role of the Danish civil society in the area of income generation and pro-poor growth based on existing policies and studies and particularly on the overall approach of value chain development (VCD) and making Markets work for the Poor (M4P).
The paper starts out by examining the civil society strategy of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which forms the basis for public NGO financing in Denmark. The assessment of the Danish policy environment includes extensive reference to a paper on the role of civil society in pro-poor growth initiatives prepared by CISU, an umbrella and fund for smaller Danish NGOs. Secondly, a couple of studies on the experiences of Danish NGOs working with the private sector are presented. Starting from a short reference to the role of NGOs in the area of microfinance, the paper then presents the role of the NGO in the development of pro-poor value chains including the planning and analysis process. Interventions are further specified in terms of a number of areas in which NGOs can work with lead firms and small producers and how to organize farmers in value chains. The paper also touches a number of ways that NGOs can ensure that working with the private sector indeed benefits the very poor.
Finally, I would like to stress that this short paper is only a presentation of relevant policies and practices in the area of value chain development as seen from the perspective of the civil society in Denmark. It hopes to provide an overview but is not an analysis or a review as such.

The document summarizes key findings from studies conducted in 5 African countries (Malawi, Uganda, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania) on linking trade and agriculture for inclusive development. Some main points are:
- Agriculture is a major sector but productivity is low due to issues like limited inputs, land tenure systems, and low commercialization.
- Food security challenges exist due to factors like low production, market barriers, and environmental/policy issues.
- Trade can benefit development if managed well, but countries face issues like reliance on few exports, high trade costs for landlocked countries, and barriers to regional agricultural trade.
- Recommendations include prioritizing agriculture, improving productivity, promoting regional trade, addressing
Session ii ndebesa presentation
The document discusses agricultural development and trade issues in Uganda. It finds that while Uganda's GDP growth has been high, agricultural productivity has declined in recent decades due to factors like lack of improved inputs, animal and plant diseases, and unreliable weather. Uganda is also landlocked, relying on neighbors for trade, but this poses challenges like high transportation costs and delays. The document recommends that Uganda prioritize improving agricultural productivity through investment, research, and adoption of new technologies. It also suggests improving trade facilitation through regional agreements and infrastructure development to address challenges of being landlocked.
Session iii monica presentation
Regional trade in agriculture within the East African Community (EAC) has implications for food security and rural livelihoods in Tanzania. While trade among EAC members has increased, Tanzania's share of imports has declined. Tanzania exports more agricultural products like maize, rice, and beans to Kenya than it imports, but imports more foodstuffs overall due to poor infrastructure. Expanding cross-border trade could help address food insecurity by increasing market access and reducing prices, but Tanzania must also improve agricultural production, infrastructure, and policies to strengthen food security and rural development.
Session ii max presentation
The Zambian economy relies heavily on agriculture but agricultural productivity, especially for small-scale farmers, has been declining. As a landlocked country, Zambia also faces challenges in facilitating trade. The study examined factors affecting agricultural productivity and trade facilitation issues. It recommends that the government increase spending on infrastructure, irrigation, and extension services to support small-scale farmers and ensure fairness in agricultural markets. Regional organizations should also reduce barriers to regional agricultural trade to boost productivity and trade.
Session ii lawrence presentation
This document summarizes a study on the linkages between agricultural productivity, trade, and rural livelihoods in Malawi. It finds that while agricultural productivity has increased due to government interventions, constraints like high costs, low adoption rates, and poor infrastructure continue to challenge the sector. As a landlocked country, Malawi faces high transportation costs that reduce the competitiveness of its exports. The document recommends improving transportation infrastructure, facilitating regional trade, promoting irrigation and mechanization, and supporting research to develop competitive agricultural commodities and markets.
Session iii gloria presentation
Regional trade is important for Kenya's food security. Trade agreements with COMESA and EAC countries allow Kenya to import staple foods like maize when facing deficits, which helps stabilize food prices and supplies. However, cheap food imports also act as a disincentive for domestic production. Overall, regional trade benefits consumers through lower food prices but hurts producers and farm laborers by reducing incomes. Kenya requires policies to better redistribute food surpluses, improve infrastructure to reduce trade barriers, and support domestic agriculture.

Session iv presentation rk+csend
This document summarizes the development and application of the Inclusive Trade Policy Making Index (ITPMI). The ITPMI was first applied in 2009 to assess the inclusiveness of trade policymaking processes in five countries. It analyzed participation of key actors like government ministries, private sector, and civil society organizations. Based on lessons from 2009, the ITPMI questionnaire was improved for a 2010 survey. Factor analysis of 2010 results validated the conceptual framework and identified three dimensions of governance, participation, and representation. Going forward, the ITPMI aims to strengthen methodology, expand its database, and use it to promote more inclusive development approaches beyond trade policy or specific countries.

The document discusses challenges in aid, development finance, and global economic governance in light of the global financial crisis. It notes new challenges for aid donors due to budget pressures and changing priorities around issues like global public goods. It also discusses how emerging markets and decisions by the G20, such as on exchange rates and fiscal policy, have major effects on low-income countries and least developed countries, but that these countries have little voice in forums like the G20. It argues the G20 should improve links to the private sector and formally consider issues facing low-income countries, including potentially giving them seats at the G20 table, to better account for the development impacts of their policies.
Zambia nd2010 ppt-mudenda
The document summarizes key findings from a study on agricultural productivity, rural livelihoods, and trade in Zambia. It finds that while agriculture contributes significantly to Zambia's GDP and employment, productivity among small-scale farmers is below regional levels due to various constraints. These include lack of infrastructure, inputs, financing, and market access. The government is working to address these challenges and facilitate regional trade through various policy reforms and initiatives. However, more efforts are still needed to improve agricultural productivity and trade to reduce widespread rural poverty in Zambia.
Zambia nd2010 ppt-mudenda
The document summarizes key information about agriculture in Zambia including:
1) Agriculture contributes significantly to Zambia's economy through GDP, employment, and exports but productivity is low, especially for small-scale farmers.
2) Poverty is high in rural areas where most people depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Improving productivity and trade could help reduce poverty.
3) Zambia has undertaken reforms and trade agreements to facilitate agricultural trade but infrastructure and policy inconsistencies remain challenges, particularly for small-scale farmers and trade corridors.
Zambia presentation4
CSOs play an important role in national trade policy making according to the document. The Cotonou Partnership Agreement recognizes the role of CSOs and requires that they be informed, consulted, and involved in cooperation policies and strategies. It also provides financial resources and capacity building support to help CSOs engage in the policy process. The key strategies CSOs use to influence trade policy include research, advocacy, capacity building, and awareness raising. The document also notes that while the private sector plays an advisory role, CSOs play a major role in shaping the trade policy process and ensuring transparency.
Zambia presentation1
The document discusses the role of Zambia's Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry (MCTI) in the country's trade policymaking process. It outlines that MCTI is recognized as the custodian of trade policy in Zambia. The MCTI has been consulted on trade policy changes at both the regional and international levels through its participation in organizations like COMESA, SADC, and the WTO. Domestically, the MCTI initiates and concludes changes to Zambia's trade policy and consults with stakeholders through the National Working Group on Trade.

The document provides an introduction to the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and an overview of the status of negotiations under the Doha Round. It discusses the key pillars and objectives of the AoA, including market access, domestic support, and export competition. It then summarizes the negotiating process and positions on agriculture since the Doha Round was launched in 2001, including draft modalities from 2008 that proposed formulas for reducing tariffs and domestic support.
Uganda presentation4
The document summarizes the trade policy making process in Uganda and the role of civil society organizations (CSOs). It describes how the Ugandan government developed a National Trade Policy in 2007 with input from stakeholders like CSOs. CSOs participated in consultations and provided feedback to policy drafts with the aim of creating a pro-human development trade policy. However, CSO engagement was ad hoc and their influence was limited. Moving forward, the document recommends that CSOs more actively monitor implementation and strategize for participating in the next policy review.
Uganda presentation3
Research organizations play an important role in national trade policymaking by carrying out independent research to guide policy development and implementation. They provide analysis of ongoing trade processes and policy options. In Uganda, research organizations input into trade policy documents and support trade negotiations. They produce quick response analyses that outline details of trade liberalization schedules, including the timeframe, value, and percentage of tariff lines liberalized for various goods. However, these organizations face challenges such maintaining credibility, remaining ideologically neutral, obtaining untied financing, and recruiting and retaining qualified researchers.
Uganda presentation2
The document summarizes the role of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry & Fisheries (MAAIF) in Uganda's trade policy making process. MAAIF's key responsibilities relate to supporting agricultural production but it has limited involvement in trade policy discussions. It currently has only one representative in the trade policy committee, which MAAIF views as insufficient given agriculture's importance to Uganda's economy and trade. MAAIF faces challenges providing input and would like greater representation in trade discussions. Coordination between Uganda's institutions involved in trade matters also needs improvement.
