  • Public Funding from Australia, Canada, and the UK
    Research for the Developing World: Public Funding from Australia, Canada, and the UK Bruce Currie-Alder - 2015 – This is a preprint version Published version is on Oxford Scholarship Online - 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198742937.001.0001 ABSTRACT: Research for the developing world can generate evidence on the effectiveness of foreign aid, invent new technologies that serve poor people, and strengthen research capabilities in poor countries. How do countries determine which of these policy goals to pursue? Examining the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia reveals how each country established a unique approach to research funding. Programs and grantmaking evolved in response to various expectations across governments, tempered by the need to remain credible in the scientific community. This book explores the histories of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). Looking back, changes in research governance encouraged a shift towards whole-of-government priorities, shorter timeframes for realizing results, and performance predicated on academic productivity and research impact. Whereas funders used to encourage “small is beautiful” with local experiments in development, today the emphasis is on “getting to scale” delivering innovation through self-financing models. Looking forward, research for the developing world is fading as part of development assistance, yet rising as collaboration on common global challenges. Funders are adopting new definitions of performance and actively shaping policy to connect science and international development. Leaders are brokering partnerships that connect research governance at home and abroad, bridging the incentives toward academic productivity and research impact.

Foreword At the World Food Programme (WFP), innovation has been at our core from the very beginning. For decades, WFP’s undeterred focus on reaching people in need has driven us to constantly look for new approaches to food assistance in even the most precarious environments. This book tells that story. It shows in detail how, over the past four decades, creative minds at WFP have worked together on innovations in programmes, delivery systems, and even in back office processes to make WFP more efficient and effective.

  • 1 BERTINI, Catherine Ann, American Public Servant and Ninth Executive
    1 BERTINI, Catherine Ann, American public servant and ninth Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP) 1992-2002, was born 30 March 1950 in Syracuse, New York, United States. She is the daughter of Fulvio Bertini, engineer and city councilman, and Ann Vino, nurse. In 1988 she married Thomas E. Haskell, photographer. They divorced in 2007 and in 2011 she married Thomas Milton Knobel, managing consultant. Source: www.wfp.org/former-executive-director-bertini%20 Video: Food (In)Security – Food, Agriculture, and Development, 15 May 2012, http://news.uchicago.edu/multimedia/food-insecurity-food-agriculture-and-development; The Charge Moving Forward, 2 June 2012, www.youtube.com/watch?v=z08renU0IB4. Bertini, the daughter of an engineer and a nurse, grew up in Cortland, New York. Her father was chairman of the Cortland County Republican Committee and fulfilled three terms as city councilman. Although Bertini wanted to be a music teacher, her interest in government service led her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in political science at the State University of New York in Albany, from which she graduated in 1971. As a student Bertini spent considerable time working in support of the Republican Party, which she had joined at the age of thirteen. She worked as a legislative aid to Republican New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller and, as a college senior, she worked full-time on his last gubernatorial campaign. Upon his re-election, she became a trusted assistant to the governor’s office. Her engagement with the Republican Party continued after graduation when she served as youth director for the New York Republican State Committee (1971-1975), followed by work for the Republican National Committee (1975-1976).

  • 1 INGRAM, James Charles, Australian Diplomat and Eighth Executive
    1 INGRAM, James Charles, Australian diplomat and eighth Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP) 1982-1992, was born in Warragul, Victoria, Australia on 27 February 1928. He is the son of James Edward Ingram, government clerk, and Gladys May Ingram. On 16 October 1950 he married Odette Koven, French diplomatic staff member, with whom he has two daughters and one son. Source: FAO Photo Library Ingram, a descendant from English pioneer settlers in Southern Australia, was the eldest of three children in a lower middle class family. Although most English pioneers were of Protestant faith, his family was baptized Catholic due to the influence of two Irish great grandmothers. Only his mother had any secondary schooling. His father left school at the age of twelve and, after unemployment during the Great Depression, worked as a salesman of Austin motorcars. He had to give up this business during the Second World War and, unable to serve in the military because of a crippled leg, found a position as government clerk. In 1944 Ingram graduated from De la Salle College, his Catholic high school. His parents encouraged him to seek the security of a civil service position. He followed their advice and took up a clerical position with the Victorian State Rivers and Water Supply Commission and began part-time studies for an economics degree at Melbourne University. In the spring of 1945 his mother pointed out a newspaper advertisement calling for applications to the Australian diplomatic service and the next year Ingram successfully participated in the competitive examination. A completed university degree was not required, given the high number of young men who had suspended their studies due to military service.

Introduction The international Seminar on Lessons Learned on Humanitarian Coordination was jointly organised by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Sweden. It was made possible through a generous contribution of the Government of Sweden and was held in Stockholm on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 April 1998. The seminar brought together some 40 experienced humanitarian practitioners and policy makers from the donor, United Nations and NGO communities, and from regional institutions and governments in affected countries. The UN human rights, political/peacekeeping and development perspectives were also represented in order to encourage cross-fertilization among the different 'cultures' and actors involved in crisis countries. In mid-1997, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) commissioned an independent study to identify lessons relating to the strategic coordination of humanitarian activities in the Great Lakes region of Africa in 1996-1997.
