Bringing together a diverse range of high-level African stakeholders belonging to various public and private constituencies, as well as selected non-African partners, the Forum is an open and frank discussion. It aims to go beyond stating issues and renewing commitments by defining pragmatic strategies, operational action points and shared responsibilities. Since this year sees the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of African unity, the focus of the 2013 Ibrahim Forum is on the major opportunities and challenges the continent will have to tackle over the next 50 years. To facilitate the debate, the panels will be organised around the four Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) categories – Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development – all of which are areas requiring exceptional leadership and governance.

Asia Pacific Studies (APS) 2012 Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my supervisor, Prof Jeremy Eades, whose support and guidance has served as a pillar of strength and encouragement throughout my studies. His approach and positive attitude had been the key in helping me develop a better understanding of the issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof Malcolm Cooper for giving direction throughout my fieldwork process. Further acknowledgements are due to the South African Tourism office in Japan and the South African Embassy in Japan. Both have made a significant contribution in my PhD studies in Japan. The chance to have such an exciting and educational research experience would not have been possible without the quality of programs offered at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. In addition, the University helped me with material support, technical support and in participation in student life. They say life is a journey. I guess that is also true with studying towards a PhD degree. The experience I have gained throughout my studies at APU will be significant as my life moves forward. To date, I have managed to publish two papers/articles. The first one has been published with the Ritsumeikan Journal (RJAPS), Volume 28 in 2010 and titled Sociology of Sports mega-events, Tourism Perspective. The second one is published in The International Journal of Sport and Society, volume 1.Issue 4, titled Sociology of Sports Mega –Events: Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup; ‘Global Peace Building Initiative.

  • Building Inclusive Businesses for Shared Prosperity
    Empowered lives. Resilient nations. Building Inclusive Businesses for Shared Prosperity A UNDP African Facility for Inclusive Markets Report United Nations Development Programme This report was produced under the leadership, coordination and funding of the UNDP African Facility for Inclusive Markets (AFIM). AFIM is a regional private-sector and inclusive market devel- opment programme of UNDP’s Regional Bureau of Africa. Its objective is to accelerate progress towards achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by supporting the de- velopment of inclusive, pro-poor markets across Africa. AFIM works to build capacities within regional economic commu- nities (RECs), governments, UNDP country offices and other stakeholders so as to support inclusive market and inclusive business development in the region. The initiative facilitates knowledge sharing, access to finance and the dissemination of best practices in seeking private-sector-led, market-driven solutions to problems of poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, post-conflict recovery and gender equality. In conducting this research, AFIM was supported by the UNDP Growing Inclusive Markets (GIM) Initiative. GIM built on its expertise in inclusive business research to provide conceptu- al input and feedback. Conceived in 2006, GIM is a UNDP-led global multi-stakeholder research and advocacy initiative that seeks to understand, enable and inspire the development of more inclusive business models around the globe, thus help- ing to create new opportunities and better lives for people within the world’s low-income communities. The research for this report built on the experiences and best practices estab- lished by the GIM’s previous research efforts. In partnership with local researchers, GIM has produced 166 in-depth case studies on inclusive business, and has published a number of global, regional and national reports, including “Creating Value for All: Strategies for Doing Business with the Poor” and “The MDGs: Everyone’s Business”.

  • Panorama E Parâmetros De Qualidade Para a Programação Educativa Na Tv Brasil
    PANORAMA E PARÂMETROS DE QUALIDADE PARA A PROGRAMAÇÃO EDUCATIVA NA TV BRASIL Setembro de 2014 Marcia Stein Marcus Tavares PRIMEIRA UNIDADE: CENÁRIO CONTEMPORÂNEO DE PRODUÇAO DE CONTEÚDO MIDIÁTICO EDUCATIVO A ideia de uma mídia livre independente, plural e diversificada passa a se fixar como o ideal a ser alcançado para que o direito à liberdade de buscar, difundir e receber informações possa ser realizado em sua plenitude. (UNESCO, 2011) O que é conteúdo educativo? Para os estudiosos, os críticos e pesquisadores, as principais produtoras de mídia atuais do planeta e para os especialistas em Educação e em Comunicação, qual é, hoje a definição de Conteúdo Educativo? Quais são os parâmetros para quem desenvolve conteúdo educativo, hoje? E, ainda mais relevante, o que é considerado hoje conteúdo educativo de qualidade? Propusemo-nos a rondar, inicialmente, tais debates e escopos de definições para, a partir daí, criar uma base para este breve estudo, que visa estabelecer parâmetros para o fomento à reestruturação do mercado de produção de conteúdo educativo no Brasil – em termos de paradigmas conceituais e estéticos, de linguagem, de formato, de diálogo entre suportes midiáticos e de padrões (ou protocolos) de consumo, produção, mercado e interação entre produtores e consumidores – no que resta de espaço onde ainda caiba esta última distinção. A fim de buscar respostas para os questionamentos apontados pesquisamos os parâmetros adotados por instituições de referência na área de mídia, como institutos de pesquisa e TVs públicas, para definir os dois conceitos: conteúdo midiático educativo e conteúdo midiático de qualidade. A íntegra do material pesquisado, com alguns breves comentários de tom analítico, é apresentada nos anexos I (Festivais) e II (Emissoras).
