It provides the societal glue on which wellbeing relies. Without it, we cannot manage the dangers we face, nor steward the resources we share. Without it, we cannot solve large problems together. Yet trust is at an all-time low, with large percentages of the American public reporting to pollsters that they do not trust our government, and — perhaps more worrisome — that they do not trust one another. The trust deficit is not unique to our democracy. The Edelman Trust Barometer reveals that this is a global phenomenon. Nor is it the creation of a single leader or the consequence of one event. The decline has been decades in the making. It coincides with longer-term trends driven by the information revolution and economic globalization. Together they have decentralized decision-making and authority, reshaped communities and economies, and accelerated rapid and wrenching change. However, pervasive distrust was neither inevitable nor need it be a permanent condition. Working together, philanthropy, civil society and policymakers have the opportunity to help reverse that trend, by making Jane Wales common cause, modeling collaborative problem-solving, and rebuilding social capital in the process. That was and remains the commitment of the donors and other change- makers gathered at the Global Philanthropy Forum in 2017. They seek to build the capabilities, institutions and understandings that make societal trust — and shared success — possible. OUR CONVERSATIONS BEGAN WITH THE CHILD and the ways to invest in his or her capacity to adapt, rebound, and even thrive under the stresses of scarcity, poverty, dislocation and struggle. We focused on early childhood development (ECD), at the stage of life when self and “the other” are 1 2017 Global Philanthropy Forum Conference defined and the building blocks of resilience are put in place. We heard from whole. Helping to illuminate that process was President Luis Alberto Moreno leaders who have made ECD their priority, and seen results.

Adjudicating Human Rights in Transitional Contexts: A Nigerian Case-Study, 1999-2009 Basil Emeka Ugochukwu A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Law, Osgoode Hall Law School York University, Toronto, Ontario March 2014 © Basil Emeka Ugochukwu, 2014 Abstract While transitional justice and democracy literature bristles with the expectation that human rights conditions would improve with the progression from the “darkness” of a dictatorship to the “light” of democratic rule, Nigeria’s transition to civil rule in 1999 would seem to provide a sobering contra-reality. Democracy does not seem to have produced a better human rights environment in the post-transition Nigerian context. This dissertation answers the question why the restoration of civil rule in Nigeria has not translated to results in human rights practices that come close to matching the expectations of its citizens and the predictions of transitional justice literature? It investigates, however, only the extent to which human rights violations correlates with the lack of effective judicial protection of those rights between 1999 and 2009.

  • Update on Technical Assistance Initiative - December 2014
    Update on Technical Assistance Initiative - December 2014 To all of you who make the TA Initiative possible – thank you! I wanted to reach out to share the highlights of the year as well as plans for 2015. When we launched the TA Initiative in 2013, it was an experiment co-created by Dow Chemical and Acumen. We wanted to test new models to accelerate the growth of social enterprises and discover partnership opportunities between corporations and these enterprises. Since then, we have been joined by TA Initiative Partners Unilever, and Barclays, and have been supported by sponsors including Apollo Insurance, Coca-Cola and Standard Chartered. Over 20 of our portfolio companies have attended our Summits. In addition to the two TA Summits, we have awarded thirteen technical assistance grants, engaged the Dow Sustainability Corps in three direct engagements with our portfolio companies, and helped to facilitate new relationships between our portfolio companies in East and West Africa and our corporate partners. Most importantly we have learned a tremendous amount about the technical assistance needs of our enterprises. We have also seen the potential for targeted grants to have a real impact on enterprise growth, and as a result, people’s lives. As we look ahead, we are excited to enter the third year of the 5-year TA Initiative and are counting on each of you to continue shaping our work together. We are in the early planning stages for the third TA Summit May 5-7 2015, and will be in touch with you to seek your input on the agenda.

    The Human Development Award A special UNDP Human Development Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding commitment during their lifetime to furthering the understanding and progress of human development in a national, regional or global context.This is the first time such a Lifetime Achievement Award has been awarded. Other Human Development Awards include the biennial Mahbub ul Haq Award for Outstanding Contribution to Human Development given to national or world leaders - previously awarded to President Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil in 2002 and founder of Bangladesh's BRAC Fazle Hasan Abed in 2004 - as well as five categories of awards for outstanding National Human Development Reports. Human development puts people and their wellbeing at the centre of development and provides an alternative to the traditional, more narrowly focused, economic growth development paradigm. Human development is about people, about expanding their choices and capabilities to live long, healthy, knowledgeable, and creative lives. Human development embraces equitable economic growth, sustainability, human rights, participation, security, and political freedom. As part of a cohesive UN System, UNDP promotes human development through its development work on the ground in 166 countries worldwide and through the publication of annual Human Development Reports. H.M.the King of Thailand: A Lifetime of Promoting Human Development This first UNDP Human Development Lifetime Achievement Award is given to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand for his extraordinary contribution to human development on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of his accession to the throne. At his coronation, His Majesty the King uttered the Oath of Accession: "We shall reign with righteousness, for the benefits and happiness of the Siamese people".

  • Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy Maximilian Martin
    Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy Maximilian Martin Working Papers Vol. 1 Martin, Maximilian. 2011. ³Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy´Impact Economy Working Paper, Vol.1 Table of Contents Philanthropy is currently undergoing four revolutions in parallel. This paper identifies and analyzes the four main fault lines which will influence the next decades of global philanthropy. All are related to what we can refer to as the market revolution in global philanthropy. As global philanthropy moves beyond grantmaking, into investment approaches that produce a social as well as a financial return, this accelerates the mainstreaming of a variety of niche activities. They marry effectiveness, social impact, and market mechanisms. 1. Global Philanthropy: A Field in Transition ............................................................................... 3 2.

  • The Race Problem in Economics.Pdf
    1/23/2020 The race problem in economics Up Front The race problem in economics Randall Akee Wednesday, January 22, 2020 n January 3, 2020 at the Allied Social Science Association (ASSA) annual meetings in San Diego, California—the largest annual gathering of economists— O I participated in a panel hosted by the American Economics Association (AEA) titled, “How Can Economics Solve Its Race Problem?” The panel was convened by Janet Yellen, Former Federal Reserve Board Chair, current AEA President, and Distinguished Fellow in Residence at Brookings, and moderated by Ebonya Washington, the Samuel C. Park Jr. Professor of Economics at Yale University. Fellow panelists included Drs. Trevon Logan, Marie Mora, Ted Miguel and Cecilia Conrad. This was the rst time in many years that such a panel was held at the ASSA meetings. Nevertheless, this has been an important topic of concern for many in the profession for decades. For instance, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the National Economics Association (NEA), which grew out of the Caucus of Black Economists and was established, in part, to “promote the professional lives of minorities within the profession.” The NEA has inspired the founding and creation of additional organizations with related missions, such as the American Society of Hispanic Economists (ASHE), founded in 2002, and the Association for Economic Research of Indigenous Peoples (AERIP), founded just last year and for which I serve as the president-elect. The economics profession is less diverse than the general population by race and gender. The lack of diversity has received increased attention in recent years due to incidents that have come to light about harassment and discrimination in the profession for women and minorities both online and in employment situations.
