It's so sad this Garcinia Cambogia Premium is over. What could you do when it happens to you? A person this has Garcinia Cambogia Premium needs to take heed as to what solution is best for them. There will always be Garcinia Cambogia Premium perceptions to locate since I could say that Garcinia Cambogia Premium is a mystery.

Harnessing All Resources To End Poverty

Harnessing All Resources To End Poverty

devinit.org –

The world has changed dramatically since 2000 when the Millennium Development Goals were agreed. The goal to halve extreme poverty was realised ahead of schedule and there is growing consensus that the end of poverty is achievable within a generation. Developing countries now have access to a larger and more diverse range of resources than ever before and, as the world sets priorities through the post-2015 framework, we need to consider how different resource flows – public and private, more...

AFP, China Daily Coverage of AidData/CGD Study of Chinese Development Finance to Africa

AFP, China Daily Coverage of AidData/CGD Study of Chinese Development Finance to Africa

blog.aiddata.org –

Over the last several weeks, there has been a fair amount of media coverage related to AidData's publication of a new database of Chinese development finance to Africa (available at china.aiddata.org) and a new working paper from AidData and CGD staff and faculty affiliates. Some media outlets have characterized our findings more accurately than others. Agence France-Presse (AFP) ran an article article entitled “China Ranks Second to US in Money to Africa” and did a reasonably good job of more...

Why Open Data Matters: G-8 and African Nations Increase Open Data for Food Security

Why Open Data Matters: G-8 and African Nations Increase Open Data for Food Security

blog.usaid.gov –

Jimmy Wambua, a social justice worker and young entrepreneur in Nairobi, Kenya, saw a problem. In a country where smallholder farmers grow the food that feeds the Kenyan people, crop yields were not reaching their full potential and growers were not getting a fair price. Decisions about what crops to plant and when were made on speculation and instinct, and farmers sold their crops based on prices offered by middlemen and traders. A solution seemed evident: increase access and sharing of more...

Good Things Grown in Scaled Packages: Africa's Agricultural Challenge in Historical Context

Good Things Grown in Scaled Packages: Africa's Agricultural Challenge in Historical Context

brookings.edu –

"In recent years agriculture has experienced a renaissance of attention among economists and policymakers, especially those focused on sub-Saharan Africa. This heightened attention has been driven partly by research insights, partly by policy initiatives, and partly by a recognition that governments and major international development institutions had been neglecting the issue for many years. It has also been motivated by emerging trends in particular countries like Malawi, which implemented an more...

Who Stole My Cow? Open Data and Praedial Larceny

Who Stole My Cow? Open Data and Praedial Larceny

blog.usaid.gov –

Praedial larceny — the theft of agricultural produce and livestock - is widely acknowledged as a major threat to agricultural production and food security in developing countries. It robs legitimate producers, stifles incentives for farming entrepreneurs and adversely affects the poor. In Jamaica, this scourge deprives farmers of more than JA$5 billion (US$52 million) each year. At its core, praedial larceny thrives on information asymmetries that limit coordination between stakeholders, such more...

A website that helps save your electricity bill

A website that helps save your electricity bill

livemint.com –

Abhishek Jain has come a long way since he left a high-profile job in Deloitte to help Indians save electricity at home. His online initiative, bijlibachao.com, not only helps analyse electricity bills but also calculates how a consumer can save money by choosing the right colour for a room and correctly placing appliances. “An electricity bill is a confusing entity. If the bill is Rs. 2,000 - 3,000, let’s go pay it, but how it gets to Rs. 2,000 - 3,000 no one knows, and one just goes and pays more...

The Global Fund should take transparency to another level

The Global Fund should take transparency to another level

blog.aiddata.org –

Global Fund transparency, as it is practised today, is more of a barrier to journalists and in-country activists than anything else: intimidating piles of reports filled with obscure language, countless files and downloadable materials that reassure technocrats in donor capitals but that don’t say much about the reality of what happens to the funds when they hit the ground. Understanding, processing and making use of this information requires learning about technical jargon, Global Fund more...

More Information on the New Funding Model, Please

More Information on the New Funding Model, Please

aidspan.org –

This is a plea for the Global Fund to become more active in communicating information about the new funding model to its broad audience of people working on and interested in Global Fund matters. For a multilateral agency like the Global Fund, the development of a new funding model (NFM) is extremely complex and time-consuming, as is the transition from the rounds-based system. All of this needs very careful planning and attention to detail from all involved. It also needs a good communication more...

Open Government Data: Helping Parents to find the Best School for their Kids

Open Government Data: Helping Parents to find the Best School for their Kids

blogs.worldbank.org –

I recently relocated my family from Chisanau to The Hague, leading to the difficult experience of trying to find the best primary school for my son in a new city. This challenge – finding the right school – is probably one of the most important decisions in many parents’ lives. Parents are looking for answers to questions such as which schools are located in safe neighborhoods, which ones have the highest teacher – students’ ratio, which schools have the best funding, which schools have more...

Transparency Camp & Chinese aid

Transparency Camp & Chinese aid

publishwhatyoufund.org –

Last week l was in Washington D.C. to attend the Sunlight Foundation’s excellent Transparency Camp and present our plans for the 2013 Index. My week kicked off with an event at CGD to launch a new dataset of Chinese aid projects (not that the Chinese call it aid) which has set off a flurry of blogs about the pros and cons of using media sources to collect aid data. Of course my response to all this is predictable - if all providers of development flows published their information in an open, more...
