India has reinforced its commitment to improve the lives of women and girls by initiating large, innovative programmes and new funding since 2005. Cash payments to new mothers who give birth in health facilities and bicycles for girls who stay in school have been introduced on a wide scale. However, inequality and discrimination are still pervasive particularly in India’s poorest states. The World Economic Forum’s 2011 Global Gender Gap Report ranks India 113th out of 135 countries.Over time, more...

Powering our future with weather, climate and water: World Meteorological Day 2012

wmo.int –

It is not only the natural variability in the Earth’s climate, but also human-induced climate change that will challenge us.

As the Earth warms, sea levels rise, Arctic sea-ice retreats, rainfall increases, and droughts are more severe. There is already a solid basis for the global provision of climate services. This includes existing weather and climate observation systems, data exchange, more...

Disaster risk reduction: a global advocacy guide

ifrc.org –

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives encapsulate the growing recognition that relief is not enough in mitigating disasters and that resilient communities in fact are the key to reducing the impact and severity of natural hazards when they strike. During 2010 alone more than 208 million people were affected by natural hazards. Equally alarming is the projection, that should current trends continue, annually 100,000 lives will be lost each year, while the costs of natural disasters will be more...

Drought has returned to the Sahel region of West Africa following an erratic and late 2011 rainy season, bringing hunger to millions in the region for the third time in the past decade. In an area of the world where most people live only on what they can grow, inconsistent rains, failed harvests and dying animals mean that hunger is a fact of life for many.In Niger, 6.1 million people are estimated to be severely or moderately food-insecure. Results from a recent national nutrition survey in more...

False Solutions for Real Problems

actionaid.org –

Rich countries are showing little political will to agree to second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol at the upcoming Durban meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Kyoto Protocol is the only legally binding international instrument with emission reduction targets and a timeline but rich countries are promoting a much weaker ‘pledge and review’ mechanism for emissions reduction which lets them off with little accountability.This is tragic, because pledges more...

This publication summarises the main lessons about the use of ICT to boost (rural) economic development that IICD and its partners learned between 2006 and 2010. It builds on an IICD publication entitled ‘ICTs for agricultural livelihoods’ which provides an in-depth analysis of our lessons up to 2006. Special attention is given to the upscaling of projects, which began in 2006. Some lessons are sector-specific, but most can also be applied to other sectors like education and health.
