Benin faces challenges in achieving universal primary education by 2015 as outlined in the Millennium Development Goals. While the government is committed and donors provide support, Benin remains far from the education goals. Interviews found that accountability within the government is lacking, as officials do not see the need to report on their actions. Decentralizing the education system could help but most local governments currently lack the required capacities. The central government will need to continue its role in the short term while also enforcing accountability mechanisms and performance criteria throughout the responsibility chain.
This document discusses inclusive growth and the role of budgetary governance. It notes slow growth, joblessness, and income inequality since the crisis as motivation. The OECD is taking a multidimensional approach to inclusive growth looking at more than just income, focusing on distributional impacts, and broadening policy surveillance. Budgeting can contribute by moving to an inclusive growth framework, evaluating multi-dimensional impacts of budgets, and increasing inclusiveness and engagement in the policy-making process.

Better Governance for Gender Equality OECD FlyerOECD Governance
The document discusses governance strategies for achieving gender equality according to the 2015 OECD Recommendation. It focuses on three areas: good governance and accountability for gender equality; closing gender gaps in leadership; and gender equality in public employment. While progress has been made, more work is needed to fully include women in decision-making and address remaining challenges. The OECD provides tools to help countries implement the Recommendation, including a policy toolkit, surveys, studies, and guides to share best practices in governance for gender equality.

Sweden has an advanced and effective budget process that meets OECD recommendations. Priorities for reform include reducing fragmentation in fiscal risk reporting, performance budgeting, and policy evaluation. Sweden should also leverage practices in cross-cutting collaboration and gender budgeting by taking more open and participatory approaches to policy design, budgeting, and accountability to improve performance.

The Centre for Education and International Development at the University of Cambridge conducts research on how education contributes to socioeconomic development and improving outcomes in developing countries. From 2005-2010, it led a Research Consortium on Educational Outcomes and Poverty including partners in the UK, India, Pakistan, Ghana, and Kenya. The consortium's research objectives were to understand the relationships between education and poverty, how educational outcomes can be promoted, and how policy can achieve social and economic transformation. The research used quantitative and qualitative methods like household surveys and case studies across different locations.
The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets. Building post-2015 on the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals, but cognizant also of their shortcomings, they combine economic, environmental, and social goals that now apply to all countries. They were developed in a broad two-year consultation process during which civil society, citizens, academics, scientists, and the private sector of all countries had the opportunity to contribute.
This document discusses the rapid growth of large-scale social assistance programs providing transfers to households in poverty in developing countries. It notes that while research on poverty and program evaluations have increased, there are still significant knowledge gaps around conceptual frameworks, institutional capacity, and comparative data. The document examines several databases tracking social assistance programs, but notes challenges in coverage, harmonization, and the need for distribution-based indicators to assess adequacy, effectiveness, and institutionalization of emerging welfare systems in developing countries.

This document summarizes a study that assesses the role of public spending in Nigeria and its implications for sustainable economic growth. The study examines whether increases in government expenditure have contributed to sustainable growth in Nigeria. It employs regression analysis to analyze data on public investment, gross capital formation, savings, private domestic investment, and per capita GDP from 1975 to 2008. The study finds that increases in government expenditure have not led to sustainable growth in Nigeria. It suggests Nigeria's government should adopt a "big push" strategy for public spending that focuses on infrastructure and human capital development to set the country on a path of self-sustaining economic growth.

The process of developing a PRS varies greatly because it takes place in different countries, under different kinds of governments and circumstances. In general, though, the process can be thought of in terms of several phases, although certain elements, particularly participatory processes, may run throughout.
Financial inclusion has been shown to positively impact economic growth and development. Countries with higher levels of financial inclusion tend to have higher GDP per capita. Studies have found a 10% increase in financial inclusion leads to a 5% increase in new businesses, 7% increase in employment, and 3% increase in GDP in Mexico. Access to finance for small and medium enterprises also supports job creation. While financial inclusion is generally positively correlated with GDP per capita, the correlation with GDP growth is mixed. National strategies, measurable targets, and engagement with AFI have been linked to greater improvements in financial inclusion. Digital finance and mobile money have dramatically expanded access in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and others. Financial inclusion is increasingly becoming part of regulators'

The document discusses the context and background of the First Global Forum on Youth Policies. It notes that while 122 countries now have a national youth policy, up from 99 in 2013, several challenges still exist. These include fragmented responsibilities for youth issues across government ministries, weak youth participation structures, and a lack of reliable youth data and funding for policies. The Global Forum aims to help address these challenges by revisiting the World Programme of Action for Youth and building understanding of effective, cross-sectoral approaches to developing youth policies.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

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.
