3. Impact indicators a) Media Impact1

Overview: second semester of 2011

The second semester of 2011 was marked by the 11th International Economic Forum on Africa, the launch of the fifth Latin American Economic Outlook, the second edition of Perspectives on Global Development, and the launch of the second Southeast Asian Economic Outlook.

While Europe and Euro zone issues have been at the forefront in the media during the second semester of 2011, the activities of the OECD Development Centre have nevertheless attracted substantial interest.

By product

The 11th International Economic Forum on Africa which took place in Bercy on 20th September 2011 attracted 30 journalists. Media coverage spread internationally including on Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Africa 24, La Tribune, Actu-Maroc, Aufait Maroc, RFI, Le Potentiel, Business Day, Jeune Afrique, Les Afriques, etc. An angle often treated by journalists was the resistance of the African continent to the crisis.

The Latin American Economic Outlook 2012 (LEO): Transforming the state for development was launched at the Ibero-American Summit in Asunción, Paraguay on 28th October 2011. Media highlights included coverage in EFE, AFP, Notimex, El País, Expansión, Reforma, and Xinuha covering three continents, Latin America, Europe and Asia – an improvement from last year.

Perspectives on Global Development 2011/12: Social Cohesion in a Shifting World, was launched on 21st November 2011 in Paris. The topic raised less media interest than the previous edition on Shifting Wealth which we attribute to the concept of social cohesion bring less ‘media friendly’ and more difficult to grasp as well as the issues of Europe/the eurozone monopolising the news agenda at the time. However, following the official launch, we raised awareness of the report’s issues through an op- ed entitled ‘The Middle Class Goes Global’ written by Johannes Jütting published in nearly 10 top national publications around the world including in the Jakarta Post, The Straits Times, Taipei Times, Business Day, and The Korea Times.

The Southeast Asian Economic Outlook 2011/2012 (SAEO) on Rebalancing growth was successfully launched in Jakarta, Indonesia on 29th November 2011. AGP, Antara, Thai News Services, The Nation, Wen Wei Po, Xinhua amongst others all covered the report. The name of the OECD Development Centre’s Director, Mario Pezzini, was particularly associated with this report.

Sample media statistics

 1 Due to the multiplication of media outlets, especially online outlets, and the difficulty for media monitoring systems to grasp and translate the nature of the media coverage in all languages, we have taken a more focused and qualitative appreciation of the media coverage for this implementation report compared with previous reports.

It is therefore closely linked with both the Chinese government and the Chinese corporate sector.

Impact indicators a) Media Impact

Overview: first semester of 2012

 The three OECD Development Centre’s events that shaped the first semester of 2012 were the International economic forum on Latin America and the Caribbean in Paris, the 50th Anniversary of the OECD Development Centre and the launch of the African Economic Outlook 2012 (AEO).

 Europe and the Euro crisis still very much captivated the media landscape during the first semester of 2012 but development issues raised by the OECD Development Centre did resonate in the media. The AEO in particular was a tremendous success media-wise.

By product

 The 50th Anniversary of the OECD Development Centre took place on 1st March 2012. The anniversary created substantial interest despite the fact that the High Level Meeting (HLM) was closed to the media due to the confidential consultation on the OECD Development strategy. Journalists were invited to: (1) the Global Forum on Development, (2) the lecture by Philippe Aghion and, (3) a special HLM media briefing with both Chairs, Minister Boulif from Morocco and European Commissioner Mr. Piebalgs, as well as Mario Pezzini.

The media briefing was well attended with journalists including Les Echos, Xinhua (Chinese News Agency), RFI, 2M (second biggest TV channel in Morocco), Televisa, MAP (Moroccan press agency), ANSA (Italian press agency), AP Middle East, Al Ittihad and Radio Soleil. Media coverage was registered in various media and around the world. This included: RFI Afrique, RFI Espanol, a number of Vietnamese media outlets, in Morocco - print, online, TV and radio, Xinhua (China), France 24, etc. A range of one-on-one interviews with Mario Pezzini, and our guest Ministers and panellists took place.

 The 4th International Economic Forum Latin America and the Caribbean took place in Paris on 25th May 2012 in Bercy. It was co-organised by the OECD Development Centre, the Inter- American Development Bank and the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry. A distinguished panel of Ministers and the presence of Laura Chinchilla President of Costa Rica and Michel Bachelet UN Women Executive Director appealed to the media.

The Forum was attended by members of the media from nearly 30 media outlets. The debates of the Forum were reported through news agencies, TV, print, radio and online media such as EFE, AFP, Dow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Radio France International, Televisa, CNNMexico, Grupo Nación. For the first time, the Forum had a media partner from the region – Televisa, who flew in one of their leading anchormen to moderate a panel discussion and interviewed speakers and participants in the foyer of the Conference centre. Altogether, a number of TV channels were present – a sign that the forum and its distinguished panellists are generating increasing media interest and that the forum is gaining in visibility in the region.

 The African Economic Outlook 2012: Promoting Youth Employment was successfully launched at the Annual Assemblies of the African Development Bank in Arusha, Tanzania, on 28th May 2012.

Mario Pezzini, Director, gave several interviews to local and international media in the hour following his participation in the panel. The media pick-up overall is a big step up from last year: an outstanding 200+ media hits reported ten days after the launch, more than 350 31

pages of articles. Key successes include: print edition of the WSJ, the FT, Les Échos, The African Report, The East African and a great number of national dailies e.g. Jan Rielaender’s op-ed in The Citizen, the main Tanzanian English Daily, in Jeune Afrique, and La Tribune. Key national and international journalists covering Africa were established.

The team also made promising contacts in view of a media partnership for the forthcoming Bercy Africa Forum in October 2012.

ANNEX

Funding Situation at 30 June 20122

The aggregate cost of the eight output results that comprise the Centre‟s Programme of Work and Budget for 2011-12 was estimated at just over 20.6 million MEUR. Of this, the funding gap to be filled by voluntary contributions was initially set at 8.7 MEUR.

Following the accession of Argentina, Cap Verde and Senegal in 2011, the withdrawal of Greece in 2012, and the adjustment of actual publications sales income in 2011, the core budget envelope for 2011-2012 was revised from 11,900 KEUR to 11,898 KEUR.

Taking into account the above adjustments to the core budget, estimated requirements for Voluntary Contributions remained at 8.7 M€, of which 92% (7,983 KEUR) has been secured as of 30 June 2012.

All sources of funding combined, 96% of the biennium 20.6 MEUR total estimated funding envelope was secured by the end of the first semester 2012, reducing the gap to 726 KEUR.

Additional pledges from donors and new funding possibilities are currently under discussion. The secretariat will work to secure these potential prospects which could reduce to 344 KEUR the funding gap from the target set within the PWB estimate.

2 This information is a snapshot at 30 June 2012. A more detailed financial report on the budget of 2011-2012 Programme of Work will be provided to the Governing Board during the First semester of 2013, after the Organisation‟s 2012 annual closing of accounts.
