PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION Program Name: USAID/E-PESO Activity Activity Start Date and End March 18, 2015-March 17, 2020 Date: Name of Prime Chemonics International Inc. Implementing Partner: [Contract/Agreement] AID-492-C-15-00001 Number: Leonine Initiatives Laggui and Associates Name of Subcontractors: Mode Devi Publishing, Inc. CAI-STA Philippines Inc. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Department of Budget and Management Major Counterpart Department of the Interior and Local Government Organizations Department of Social Welfare and Development Bureau of Internal Revenue Philippine Payments Management, Inc. Geographic Coverage Philippines (cities and or countries) Reporting Period: October 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018 The USAID/E-PESO Activity is a USAID/Philippines program supporting the objectives of the U.S.- Philippines Partnership for Growth (PFG), which focuses on addressing binding constraints to achieve sustained, more inclusive economic growth. USAID/E-PESO also contributes to USAID/Philippines’ goals in democracy, rights and governance as the expansion of digital finance systems contribute to greater accountability, reduced corruption and exclusion of the poor, and better opportunities of good governance, particularly at the local level. With 98% of payment transactions in the Philippines taking place through cash, promoting a shift to electronic payments (e-payments) represents unrealized potential to promote inclusive economic growth and good governance. USAID/E-PESO partners with the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and private sector actors to achieve a rapid, widespread increase in e-payment adoption and usage, increased financial transparency and accountability, and more efficient and more equitable governance. Through program activities, USAID/E-PESO’s goal is for e-payments to account for 10% of retail transactions by the year 2020. To shift from a cash-based economy to an electronic-based economy, USAID/E-PESO supports the development of a lasting, inclusive economic environment and sets the stage for new financial products to enter the market that explicitly meet the needs of those striving to improve their lives. Enabling access to electronic transaction accounts will provide the backbone needed to ensure that a majority of Filipinos can use e-payments, which provide a secure and cost-effective means to access a full range of payment and financial services and a system for transparent and traceable financial transactions. This broader range of financial services can help Filipinos build assets, better withstand economic shocks, and participate more broadly in the formal economy and increase the engagement of a wider Filipino citizenry. e-Payments offer an improved ability to track financial flows in line with GPH’s thrust towards greater transparency and accountability in financial transactions, and USAID’s objectives to increase participation and reduce corruption. USAID/E-PESO builds on the GPH leadership in promoting e-payments as a vehicle for expanding financial inclusion. Recognized in 2014 by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) as one of the global USAID/E-PESO Quarterly Report (October-December 2018) 5 5 leaders in promoting financial inclusion, the Philippines’ successful track record in deepening financial inclusion mirrors worldwide trends: countries that institute national financial inclusion strategies tackle poverty at a higher rate than those that do not. Leading the charge, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion capitalizes on global trends and focuses heavily on ensuring that most Filipinos can have access to electronic transaction accounts. Over the life of the project, Filipinos will benefit from new, more affordable and innovative e-payment products, an increased number of outlets through which to spend electronic money (e-money), improved transparency and accountability in their transactions with government services, and a stronger regulatory environment that protects consumers. The exponential growth in e-payments will stimulate private sector investment and ensure that Filipinos have access to critical financial services that set the stage for a more inclusive society. To fulfill PFG goals and USAID/E-PESO objectives, the activity focuses on four components: • Component 1: Rapid Adoption of E-payments in Financial Systems. Incentivizing adoption of e-payments, the activity supports digitization

    WRITTEN DIRECT TESTIMONY OF JANICE DE FREITAS (CBC - RIGHTS ADMINISTRATION) 2004—2005 Cable Royalty Distribution Proceeding Docket No. 2007-03 CRB CD 2004-2005 1. Introduction I am Manager of Rights Administration for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio-Canada (CBC/Radio-Canada) at the Head Office in Ottawa. I have worked for the CBC since 1980. For the last 15 years, I have served as Chairman of the Canadian Claimants Group (CCG). Before assuming my current position, I spent nine years in CBC’s television program distribution department eventually managing the Educational Sales unit. Those responsibilities called for me to be familiar with the English television network’s programming, and rights administration. CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada’s national public broadcaster, and one of its largest and most important cultural institutions. It was created by an Act of Parliament in 1936, beginning with Radio. Bilingual television services were launched in 1952. CBC/Radio-Canada is licensed and regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)1. CBC/Radio-Canada employs approximately 9,930 Canadians in 27 regional offices across the country. CBC programming is provided on multiple platforms: television (both traditional over-the-air and cable networks), radio, the Internet, satellite radio, digital audio and a recording label. Through this array of activities, CBC/Radio-Canada delivers content in English, French, and eight aboriginal languages.
