The think tank, attended by professionals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, provided a dynamic forum to assess, dissect and predict the future impact of gender mainstreaming in a development context through the prism of the following three en themes: (1) gender mainstreaming: taking stock; (2) closing the gap between policy and outcomes: good practice in building equality; and (J) intersectionality and gender: shaping the future. (]) This volume follows much the same structure, but, in addition, the papers presented at the think tank are supplemented by a number of specially commissioned ~rticles, I , which give further insights into this important area. We hope that practitioners and policy makers will find this issue of Development Bulletin both provocative and useful. From its analyses of the success or otherwise of gender mainstreaming to date, to really practical pieces on how to successfully achieve ma!nstreaming in large multilateral 0 organisations, in NGOs and consulting firms and at project level, this issue provides a wealth of current thinking from a range of perspectives. Finally, for this issue we have compiled a large and detailed section of valuable gender-related information and resources, including useful websites, organisations and networks. You'll find all this in z the back section of this volume. Collaboration and support A recurring theme amongst the papers in this issue is that adoption of a gender mainstreaming policy often sees funds and resources for gender-specific projects assumed en within general operating budgets. Such was the case with this issue of Development Bulletin, for which significant funding was difficult to attract. We are delighted to have the continued support ofAusAID, as well as support from International Development Support Services (IDSS) and ACIL Australia Pty Ltd, and non-financial support from IWDA. Because we believe these papers repre~enting the latest thinking on gender mainstreaming in our region are important, the network itself, although largely self­ funding, has made a significant contribution to the production of this volume. Lastly, 0 thanks and acknowledgement are due to our subscribers, whose support is so vital in I , allowing us to continue this work. • Next Development Bulletin The Network is looking forward to another busy year in development. Keep an eye out in particular for our mid-year symposium on the impact and effectiveness of aid, and an accompanying issue of Development Bulletin that addresses this critical issue for the future of development practice and policy. This year will also see issues on post-conflict reconstruction, an especially hot topic in Asia and the Pacific, a volume devoted to innovations in community resources and indigenous development, plus an international dialogue and issue of the Development Bulletin which brings together ways to assist development in Timor-Leste. If you would like to contribute a paper on any of these topics, please contact us. Please share this issue with your colleagues and let us all keep working towards a gender equal future. Pamela Thomas Managing Editor March2004 3 'Gender and development: Bridging policy and practice Pamela Thomas, Development Studies Network Overview As the papers in this volume indicate, attempts to improve the situation ofwomen and to provide greater equality between women's and men's access to the benefits ofdevelopment c have gone through many phases and embraced a number of theories,strategies and policies. Over the last 10 years, gender mainstreaming has been the accepted strategy for improving the situation of women. It was based on the premise that the roles, responsibilities and 0 situations ofboth women and men had to be taken into consideration and that consideration for women as well as men has to be integral to development policy and to political, economic and social structures, rather than the previous focus on improving the situation ofwomen in isolation. The papers here cover an in-depth review of the effectiveness of mainstreaming to date. They challenge the received wisdom, as well as the roles and commitment of the United Nations, government and non-government agencies. The more recent concept of 'intersectionality' and its possible value as a tool in gender mainstreaming forms part of the discussion. The last group of papers, based on extensive experience, provides some practical guidelines to developing gender mainstreaming strategies, policies and analysis. Three consistent threads run through most of the papers:

Juan de Herrera 4, 28040 Madrid, Spain Tel: +34 672332653 Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Integrated energy management at both the district and building scales can potentially improve multi-level energy efficiency, but such a solution requires the exchange and analysis of energy performance information from different stakeholders. With the complexities of energy management, there are numerous potential stakeholders and a considerable amount of information to consider. Therefore, a primary challenge is the development of a method that identifies the key stakeholders and extracts key information that supports their performance goals. In this paper, a systematic approach to identify stakeholders and key performance indicators (KPIs) is proposed to draw key information for multi-level energy performance analysis. Firstly, a three-task method for the identification and prioritization of stakeholders is suggested; secondly, a bi-index method to select the KPIs that underpin the stakeholders’ performance goals is defined; finally, the proposed methodology is validated using a case study.

  • Review of Process-Oriented Performance Indicators
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Sustainability and Continuous Improvement of Organization: Review of Process-Oriented Performance Indicators Aija Medne and Inga Lapina * Institute for Quality Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management, Riga Technical University, Kalnciema iela 6, LV 1048 Riga, Latvia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 June 2019; Accepted: 24 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: Nowadays, organizations are trying to have, not only a competitive advantage in the market, but also in sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process of measuring organizations’ sustainability using process-oriented indicators. The research seeks to address the following research question: How are process-oriented indicators linked to an organization’s strategy in the context of sustainable development? This research is based on reviewing the literature on organizational performance analysis in the context of sustainable development. The literature review highlights the main elements of organizational performance analysis and linkages to the overall business strategy. There are many ways of how to conduct an in depth assessment of an organization’s performance regarding sustainability. The research shows the elements that are integrated in the process and the organization’s performance analysis. These elements are—objectives, metrics, data measures, indicators and key performance indicators (KPIs). The research shows that growing organizations with a strategic focus on sustainability integrate these elements in the process analysis. Keywords: sustainable development; process-orientation; key performance indicators; continuous improvement; article 1. Introduction More organizations are pressured by their stakeholders to report on their performance in a much wider perspective, such as triple bottom line (TBL) reporting [1–3].

  • Performance Measurement of Supreme Audit Institutions in 4 Anglo-Saxon Countries: Leading by Example
    Performance Measurement of Supreme Audit Institutions in 4 Anglo-Saxon Countries: Leading by Example Performance Measurement of Supreme Audit Institutions in 4 Anglo-Saxon Countries: Leading by Example Nobuo AZUMA* Director, Study Division, Board of Audit I. Introduction In Japan, performance measurement has been introduced into government ministries and agencies since January 2001, and to independent administrative institutions since April of the same year. Nonetheless, throughout the country, a working system for performance measurement has yet to be established, and measures have not yet achieved their anticipated results. Also, even in advanced countries, such as America and many European nations (which Japan models itself after), performance measurement is still in the process of trial and error. The supreme audit institutions (SAIs) of these countries are currently conducting performance measures in order to establish the foundations for evaluation and improve their quality by leading other government agencies and government- funded institutions by example. In this paper, as a reference for Japan’s government ministries and agencies, as well as for independent administrative institutions, etc., in conducting performance measurement, I would like to introduce the type of performance measurement presently conducted by SAIs in Europe and America, and examine approaches to improve the quality of such measurement. Specifically, as examples from advanced countries, this paper will introduce performance measurement as carried out in the following four countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, where the author conducted field surveys between 2001 and 2002. (Please note that this paper presents the author’s personal views and does not represent any official opinion of the Board of Audit of Japan.) II.

  • Key Performance Indicators for Social Development
    Key Performance Indicators for social development Danica Radovanovic, PhD prof. Josef Noll Digital equality advisor and Ambassador at Co-Founder and Evangelist at Basic Internet Foundation Basic Internet Foundation White paper version 1.0 November 20, 2017 1 Introduction The internet technologies play a key role in providing insights into people's activities, opinions and everyday lives. These detailed user-generated information-online streams offer a unique opportunity for individuals to engage, communicate, socialize, and create sustainable infrastructures that lead to social development. However, there are almost 4 billion people on this planet without the internet access, basic information and skills to education or health. The situation is problematic with regards to the notion of a digital divide being primarily focused on the technological affordability: computers and access. As many scholars have noted, the digital divide is also a divide of literacy and skills (van Dijk 2005; Hargittai and Hinnant (2008); Radovanovic et al., 2015). Though, access is still seen as a necessary condition (Warschauer, 2002), in the case of education and business, many people could more practically engage the technology if they had the basic skills. Thus, digital literacies present the relevant factor in bridging this digital divide by providing the social development. With regards to the social development and sustainable infrastructure, we are entering a critical period where emerging technologies and societal disruptive changes are happening around us. The focus of many studies on inequalities in the context of social development are mainly on differences in socio-economic backgrounds and in available resources, such as money or skills, or focused on developing inequalities such as access to basic human resources including equipment, knowledge, or education.

  • Explaining the Performance of International Organizations
    Beyond Institutional Design: Explaining the . Performance of International Organizations Ranjit Lall Abstract International organizations (IOs) have long been a central focus of schol- arship in international relations, yet we know remarkably little about their performance. This article offers an explanation for differences in the performance of IOs and tests it https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms using the first quantitative data set on the topic. I argue that the primary obstacle to effec- tive institutional performance is not deviant behavior by IO officials—as conventional “rogue-agency” analyses suggest—but the propensity of states to use IOs to promote narrow national interests rather than broader organizational objectives. IOs that enjoy policy autonomy vis-à-vis states will thus exhibit higher levels of performance. However, in the international context policy autonomy cannot be guaranteed by institu- tional design. Instead, it is a function of (1) the existence of (certain types of) institution- alized alliances between IOs and actors above and below the state; and (2) the technical complexity of IO activities. I provide empirical evidence for the argument by construct- ing and analyzing a cross-sectional data set on IO performance—based in part on a new wave of official government evaluations of IOs and in part on an original survey of IO staff—and conducting a comparative case study in the realm of global food security. , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at Do international organizations (IOs) do what they are meant to do? IOs have long been a central focus of scholarship in international relations (IR), yet we know remarkably little about their performance—the extent to which they achieve their stated objectives and do so in a manner that is cost-effective and responsive to a wide range of (public and private) stakeholders.

    AID, ATTITUDES AND AMBIVALENCE: THE IMPACT OF AUSTRALIAN AID IN THE INTRODUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION INITIATIVES IN THE REPUBLIC OF KIRIBATI Rodney Brian Yates Bachelor of Arts, Diploma in Education (University of NSW) Master of Arts (Macquarie University) Master of Analytical Psychology (University of Western Sydney) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Australian Aid, Critical Pedagogy, Developing Countries, Development Aid, Inclusive Education, Kiribati, Pacific Island Nations Aid, Attitudes and Ambivalence: the impact of Australian Aid in the introduction and sustainability of inclusive education initiatives in the Republic of Kiribati i Abstract Foreign aid is political; donor governments set the agenda and oversee the use of aid in developing nations. Inclusive education is a socio-political construct emerging from the human rights movements in developed countries. This study examines the research questions of dependency on Australian Aid and local ownership/sustainability in the introduction of inclusive education initiatives in Kiribati through data analysis of documents, individual interview responses and school-based focus group discussions. The participants were key local stakeholders from both the aid recipient and donor viewpoints for the individual interviews and classroom teachers for the focus groups. The document analysis focused on the Kiribati Inclusive Education Policy (2015). Adherence to international (western) principles was predominant in the policy which was developed with significant input from external advisers. Process and values coding was used to examine the individual interviews and focus group responses. These responses indicted that a positive commitment towards inclusive education is emerging in Kiribati, particularly for local education professionals.
