Spanning boundaries? Articulations and negotiations of urban regeneration in ...Centre for Policy Research
This document summarizes a presentation on urban regeneration in Delhi's informal settlements. It discusses how regeneration is conceptualized as a two-way process of articulating aspirations for change within the context of state-led development. Fieldwork was conducted in two settlements, examining relationships between residents, RWAs, politicians, NGOs and other actors. Key findings include residents negotiating basic services and housing improvements. Regularization is expected to provide tenure security and access to financing. The concept of "boundary spanners" is introduced to analyze how different actors interface between communities and government to enact change, with relationships characterized more by avoidance than cooperation.
When, to Whom, and How People Marry in Delhi NCR: Patterns of Intergeneration...Centre for Policy Research
The document summarizes findings from a survey conducted in Delhi NCR on patterns of marriage across generations. Key findings include:
1) The average age of marriage has increased over time, with fewer underage marriages. Respondents expect the average age to be mid-20s.
2) Acceptance of inter-caste and inter-religious marriage has slightly increased between generations but remains low. Inter-caste marriages are more common among wealthier households.
3) Arranged marriages are still dominant but respondents expect young people to have more say in partner selection compared to past generations. Self-arranged marriage generally refers to situations where families approve of partners youth select.
This document analyzes grievance redressal and inequality of access to intermediaries in urban areas with weak state capacity, using data from Delhi. It finds that intermediaries are disproportionately from higher castes and religions compared to citizens.

This suggests intermediaries engage in elite capture rather than equal representation.
This document summarizes the spatial transformation of Delhi NCR over time through analysis of maps, images, and population data. It outlines 3 stories: place, space, and people. For place, it examines how definitions of Delhi and NCR have changed boundaries over time. For space, it uses remote sensing images to analyze increases in urban footprint and decreases in green spaces as NCR has urbanized. For people, it looks at changing population distributions and religious demographics in NCT and NCR over decades. The document concludes there are visible increases in urban infrastructure across NCR and multiple heterogeneities seen through mapping, with interconnected growth between NCR and NCT requiring further exploration.

2) Global oil demand growth may plateau in the 2020s and then decline, depending on the pace of efficiency gains and fuel switching, with transport electrification a major influence.
3) Renewable energy will continue growing rapidly, having the potential to provide over 40% of global power generation by 2040 if policies strongly promote renewables usage.
'Collective action(or not)the informal septic tank emptying markets in Delhi'...Centre for Policy Research
This document summarizes research on the informal septic tank emptying markets in two Delhi neighborhoods. It describes the emergence of small-scale businesses providing this service and the socioeconomic characteristics of the entrepreneurs. The businesses are organized differently in the two areas - collectively in one and non-collectively with competition in the other. Financial details are provided on costs, revenues and profits. While collective organization ensures faster cost recovery, customers have less choice and competition helps new entrepreneurs less. Both models exploit workers. The work faces social stigma.

This document discusses the relationship between air pollution and vehicles in India. It finds that vehicle emissions are projected to significantly increase levels of particulate matter and other pollutants by 2030 without intervention. Current challenges include outdated vehicle standards, use of dirty fuels, lack of effective inspections, and real-world emissions exceeding lab tests. Road congestion is exacerbated by low-density development patterns and limitations of public transit compared to private vehicles. Shifting more freight transport from road to rail could help reduce energy use and emissions given road freight's high fragmentation in India.

This document discusses the high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in India and the link between air pollution and increased risk of CVD. It provides the following key points:
1. CVD is the leading cause of death in India, with rates higher than global averages. Major CVDs include IHD, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertension.
2. Risk factors for CVD like hypertension and diabetes are rising dramatically in India and projected to affect hundreds of millions by 2030.
3. Existing evidence suggests air pollution likely increases the risk of CVD and its risk factors through mechanisms like endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and increased blood pressure.
4. Research aims to better characterize the associations between long-term air

This document analyzes election results from Gujarat in 2012 and 2017. It finds that while the BJP remained in power, their seat count dropped from 115 in 2012 to 99 in 2017 despite their vote share remaining similar. The BJP saw lower strike rates in rural areas compared to urban areas, indicating growing urban-rural polarization. Caste politics are being replaced by issues of rural economic distress and lack of access to amenities as more important factors.
The Last Metres (L100M): Safeguarding Potable Water Provisioning to Urban Inf...Centre for Policy Research
The document summarizes research on safeguarding potable water provision to informal settlements in Dhaka, Bangladesh and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It discusses a methodology called "The Last 100 Metres" (L100M) that focuses on the space between water distribution points and homes. The research aims to reduce faecal contamination of water by expanding water safety plans and addressing local sanitation issues. Key findings indicate water is relatively safe until entering slum communities, but becomes highly contaminated within homes. The document concludes improved sanitation is more effective than water quality alone, and a sustained, multi-pronged approach is needed to tackle the issue.
Horizontal and Vertical Inequalities Explaining Disparities in Access to Urba...Centre for Policy Research
1) The document analyzes disparities in access to urban sanitation in India using data from the National Sample Survey of India.
2) It finds significant variations in access to sanitation across factors like household income, caste, location in slum/non-slum areas, and access to public infrastructure like drainage. Higher income households, non-SC/ST social groups, and households in non-slum areas with access to closed drainage have higher probabilities of access to sanitation.
3) There are also significant state-wise disparities, with states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu showing larger inequalities in access between slum and non-slum areas compared to
This document discusses sanitation from an economic perspective. It covers topics like sanitation as an economic good, demand for sanitation, the public good dimension of sanitation infrastructure, and challenges around inclusion and scaling up sanitation access in India. The document references different frameworks and approaches for analyzing sanitation, including political ecology, behavioral economics, and network effects. It aims to provide a well-rounded and flexible framework for understanding sanitation that integrates different actors and allows for local analysis.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
