Switzerland-Lao PDR Soci-Economic Development Consulation Seminar for Land-lo...Toura Vanh
According to World Bank 2013 statistics, Switzerland's GDP per capita was US$80,477, while in Laos it was US$1,646.
Switzerland has a much smaller land area of 41,285 square kilometres but its population is larger at about 8 million, while Laos is 236,800 square kilometres in size and has a population of 6.5 million.
Struggling to overcome its geological constraints, Laos, a landlocked and least developed country in Asia, has sought out lessons learnt by Switzerland, a landlocked but highly developed nation in Europe.
Presentation by Senior Advisor of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) for the Mekong Region, Mr Regis Gerard Avanthay.
"Physical infrastructure development to connect with its neighbours has transformed Switzerland from a landlocked into a land-linked nation. However, that infrastructure development requires huge investment."

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

The total public sector employs ca 6% of the total Swedish workforce.
Birgitta: ’Datan kommer från min egen enkätundersökning "Svenska myndigheter" som genomfördes mellan december 2008 och april 2009. Den har riktat sig till myndighetschefer på 256 förvaltningsmyndigheter (allmänna myndigheter, högskolor, polis, länsstyrelser, landsarkiv, statliga företag, museum), varav 182 svarade (71%).’ (Från ’presentationen "The Swedish Cobra Study", som jag gjorde på COST-mötet i Bryssel den 20-21 april 2009 ’) Definition of target group = Precisering av målgrupp, som enligt hjälptexten ienkäten betyder: "Bedömning av vilka brukare, klienter, kunder, förmånstagare,etc. som myndighetens verksamhet ska rikta sig mot, dvs. den grupp som ärföremål för myndighetens aktiviteter, t.ex. pensionärer, ungdomar, ellerinvandrare." Val av medel, som enligt hjälptexten i enkäten betyder: "Val av politiska ochadministrativa verktyg som används för att genomföra politiken, t.ex. skatter,subventioner, information, utbildning, föreskrifter, rekommendationer, etc." Konkret sätt att lösa uppgift, som enligt hjälptexten i enkäten betyder:"Handläggning av sakärenden och prioritering mellan aktiviteter."

The principle of public access to documents applies to: Input to & output from gov’t institutions Decisions & related documents Documents archived in gov’t institutions
The practise of sending out proposals and studies for review and comment is widespread in other parts of the Swedish public administration, not just in the ministries. The next slide shows one example:
The first three were rather naturally in line with the Swedish tradition of public administration. The NPM movement also emerged strong in Sweden during the 90s, when there were high pressures to cut costs due to the high deficit. Generally, NPM entails a greater focus on outcomes than on managing and regulating the details of the process by which the bureaucracy implements the decisions.
Swedish Agency for Public Management estimates 1.5 bn savings.
50 813 kr per elev och år för 6-8 åringar 53 058 ” 9-11 åringar 60 395 ” 12-15 åringar Till detta kommer en tilläggsresurs, som fördelas mot bakgrund av andelen barn med utländsk bakgrund 5,2% respektive föräldrarnas utbildningsbakgrund 4,8% av totalresursen. Lokalkostnaderna utgår enligt faktiska kostnader. Vi har ännu inte hittat ett system att lägga in det i skolpengen, eftersom det skiljer så mycket. Lägsta kostnad för skolan är 6 000 kr/elev/år och högsta 30.000 kr/elev/år. För förskolorna, som är nybyggda ,rör det sig om ännu högre hyror. Därtill kommer pengar för särskild verksamhet som förberedelseklasser, Resurscentrum för elever med stort behov av särskilt stöd, särskola o s v Dessutom finns det pengar till Barn och skolnämndens förfogande för nämnds- och förvaltningsledning, kvalitetsuppföljningar, särskilda satsningar, naturskola, sommarskola, långa rehab.satsningar m m Choice must be feasible (rural v. urban areas)
Goals often too general – This makes accountability and evaluation difficult. Specific Measurable Accepted Realistic Time limited
