    Tatarstan Clean Tech Fund L.P., Summary (December 2011) Russia has one of the world’s most energy intensive economies, consuming 6% of global energy. According to the International Energy Agency, energy intensity of GDP is 11 times higher than in Germany, six times higher than in Canada and four times higher than in Poland. These inefficiencies create an environment in Russia that is ripe for the adoption, development, and production of clean technologies – e.g., energy efficiency and storage, biofuels, clean water, etc. – with the potential for superior financial returns. The Fund will focus on investing internationally in best-in-class companies that provide economic and environmental value to Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan, by selling cleantech products or setting up manufacturing in the region as well as exporting clean technologies from Tatarstan and Russia to world markets.

  • Money Doctors: the Experience of International Financial Advising
    Money Doctors Can economics help make the world a safer financial place? Are there any trends in the way that crisis advice has been dispensed over time? What can we learn from case studies? How is consensus about policies that reduce financial vulnera- bility built? These are the main questions that this book seeks to answer. Money Doctors brings together internationally respected specialists from economics, history and political science such as Harold James, Louis Pauly, Stephen Schuker, Charles Wyplosz, Eric Helleiner and Kenneth Mouré. First providing a short history of money doctors, the book then goes on to cover such themes as: • financial crisis management • the IMF and policy advice • the Russian experience • contemporary money doctors The book shows that there is still a long way to go before international financial advice develops into something that is truly helpful in the long term. This book is the first to use a broad historical coverage and Marc Flandreau has pulled together a stimulating, comprehensive and authoritative volume that will be of great interest to students and academics involved in international finance and banking. Perhaps more importantly, the lessons learned from the book will go on to help future money doctors and the recipients of their advice. Marc Flandreau is Professor of Economics, Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, France. He is also co-editor of Gold Standard in Theory and History, also published by Routledge.

  • Annual Report 2016
    JUSOOR 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Message from the Board Dear Friends, This year marks Jusoor’s fifth anniversary; and, we are both humbled by how far we have come as an organization and by how much more needs to be done for the future of Syria’s youth. In just five years, Jusoor has grown into so much more than a traditional non- profit. We have educated thousands of youth, launched and grown an entrepreneurship program tailored to the needs of Syrian youth affected by war, and expanded our network to new cities and countries around the world. With the support of both local and international organizations, Jusoor has transformed into a hub of hope—the first place people turn to on all issues related to the education and support of Syrian youth. In 2016, students, organizations, non-profits, experts and individuals like you have helped us both delve deeper and broaden our mandate in our effort to help Syria’s youth. Five years ago, Jusoor set out to educate Syrian students through our programs in North America, Europe and the Arab world. In that time span, we educated 490 Syrian university students around the world; and 3,412 children in our Lebanon schools. We also employed and trained 75 Syrian refugees to become teachers in our schools. This year, Jusoor expanded our programming to include high school opportunities in India and a program specifically targeting women. We are sending Syrians with extraordinary potential to all corners of the world to learn from others’ accomplishments and to build an understanding of other cultures.
