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...

The Problem with Our Data Obsession

The Problem with Our Data Obsession

technologyreview.com –

In his trenchant new book, To Save Everything Click Here, Evgeny Morozov, a writer for Slate and The New Republic, uses the Eightmaps episode to support his claim that “Internet-centrism” is warping our view of what’s truly important. Transparency is ascending at the expense of other values, Morozov suggests, mainly because it is so cheap and easy to use the Internet to distribute data that might someday prove useful. And because we’re so often told that the Internet more...

Mobile Privacy Disclosures: Building Trust Through Transparency

Mobile Privacy Disclosures: Building Trust Through Transparency

Consumers derive enormous benefits from these devices, which are used to make audio and video phone calls, buy movie tickets, check traffic on the regular commute, browse a digital library while waiting for an appointment, and connect with friends for spontaneous get-togethers. The mobile ecosystem has changed in other ways, too. The more...

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...

Bill Gates: Teachers need real feedback

Bill Gates: Teachers need real feedback

Until recently, many teachers only got one word of feedback a year: “satisfactory.” And with no feedback, no coaching, there’s just no way to improve. Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback -- and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom. A passionate techie and a shrewd businessman, Bill Gates changed the world once, while leading Microsoft to dizzying success. Now he's set to do it again with his own style of philanthropy more...

Second-Generation Americans: A Portrait of the Adult Children of Immigrants

pewsocialtrends.org –

Second-generation Americans - the 20 million adult U.S.-born children of immigrants - are substantially better off than immigrants themselves on key measures of socioeconomic attainment, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. They have higher incomes; more are college graduates and homeowners; and fewer live in poverty. In all of these measures, their characteristics resemble those of the full U.S. adult population. Hispanics and Asian Americans make up more...

The soul of India lives in its villages. More than 69 percent of 1.21 billion Indians, i.e. nearly 830 million people live in different villages.
