It is now clear that without action on climate change, the world may become 4°C warmer by the end of this century. Such an increase would threaten to roll back decades of development progress; thus, we are at a ‘make it or break it’ point in time. This course presents the most recent scientific evid...

Turn Down the Heat - MOOC (audio)

The series is based on the recent global World Bank Group report “Inclusion Matters: The Foundation for Shared Prosperity."

It is important to understand and plan for the barriers that marginalized communities face before, during, and after disaster situations. DRM practitioners need effective strategies to assess gaps and challenges to inclusion throughout the DRM cycle. This webinar will serve as a basic overview of who are at risk of being excluded and what inclusive DRM entails, and how to identify entry points to ensure that the needs of all citizens are taken into account.

In particular, the webinar will focus on persons with disabilities. One billion people - 15% of the world’s population - live with some form of disability. Persons with disabilities face unique constraints and challenges at each stage of DRM and face a disproportionately higher risk of being left behind during disasters and emergencies. Lack of accessible evacuation and sheltering facilities, challenges in accessing information, loss of necessary aids and medical equipment, and disruptions in critical service delivery chains are just some of the obstacles that can significant ramifications for the survival and welfare of persons with disabilities. Similar barriers also affect children and the elderly.

In this webinar, presenter Margaret Arnold, Senior Social Development Specialist, and host of this webinar Charlotte McClain-Nhlapo, Global Disability Advisor, will jointly discuss:

What are the social dimensions of DRM? How disasters affect excluded populations differently?
How to identify and work on entry points for inclusive DRM?
What are the most significant challenges that excluded populations, such as persons with disabilities, face in disaster situations?
Effective practices and case studies on disability-inclusive DRM.

Pathways to Inclusion in Disaster Risk Management

Exclusion based on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression (SOGIE) exists in different forms across cultures, countries and regions. Homosexuality is punishable by death in some countries and illegal in many others, although it is common for lesbian, gay, or bisexual people to face social exclusion even where homosexuality is not illegal. Transgender or intersex people may not be homosexual at all, but are frequently classified as “gay” regardless. Social stigma driven by homophobia, transphobia, and discriminatory laws fuels the exclusion of LGBTI people, creating barriers to accessing markets, essential services, and spaces. Such social stigma also often precludes participation by LGBTI persons in social institutions and decision-making, and exposes them to violence. Social inclusion that is accepting of human diversity is key to sustainable development. As Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group stated, “LGBTI inclusion will help alleviate poverty and give everyone the respect, dignity they deserve.”

During this webinar, Chloe Schwenke will give an overview of SOGIE issues in development, share her experience with the design, implementation, and evaluation of LGBTI programs and policies, and highlight examples of successful initiatives from around the world that focus on LGBTI inclusion. Prof. Schwenke will discuss the role development could and should play to help address SOGIE-based exclusion, and how best we could forge a more inclusive society.

LGBTI and Development

Building the evidence base for inclusion of indigenous peoples is a complex task. In different countries, and within them, indigenous peoples are described by different names: ethnic minorities, scheduled tribes, first peoples/nations, aboriginals, ethnic groups, Adivasi, hill people and others. There is no single definition. Estimates of the number of indigenous peoples worldwide also vary, from 300 to 370 million people. 

At the micro level, there are many ethnographic and anthropological studies about individual indigenous groups. What is still needed, in order to get clearer understanding of development challenges faced by indigenous populations around the world, is systematic, comparable research on a global scope. 

In the developing world, most research on indigenous peoples has focused on Latin America. However, widening the lens to capture the entire developing world reveals a stunning result - the largest share of indigenous peoples actually live outside of this region; and while there are some encouraging instances where indigenous peoples are beginning to close the development gap, the global indigenous population often remain among the poorest of the poor, and faces many common challenges. 

During this webinar, Gillette Hall, the co-author of the first global study on indigenous populations and poverty, will recap some the research findings from the book Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Development, and discuss holes in the research that are still needed to be addressed.

Poverty and Exclusion among Indigenous Peoples: What is the Global Evidence?

One billion people - 15% of the world’s population - live with some form of disability. They make up one of the largest excluded groups. Facing multiple barriers, persons with disabilities are more likely to be poor, less educated, discriminated against and unemployed. 

To understand disability and design evidence-based and inclusive policies, governments and development organizations need reliable disability disaggregated data. However, multidimensional nature of disability makes measurement difficult. Data is patchy; where it is available, definitions and methodologies vary, making comparisons across countries problematic. Finding ways of collecting better data on persons with disabilities will help identify strategies to improve their well-being and implementing the SDGs. 

In this webinar, Daniel Mont, an international expert on disability measurement and inclusive development, will discuss: 

What are known data gaps on disability, and how they can be filled?
What are existing sources of data on disability?
What datasets could be analyzed from disability perspective?
How can we build and use evidence for more inclusive policy and development decisions?

Disability and Data – What Can We Count on

How do policies that have social inclusion at their core, differ from ordinary polices? How can practitioners design more inclusive interventions? Designing inclusive policies and programs will be the focus of the third webinar in the social inclusion series. 

Change – either towards exclusion or inclusion - is inevitable and can happen by stealth or by design. This session highlights examples where change has taken place and provides a menu of options for policy makers. 

This webinar proposes steps practitioners can take to develop and execute more inclusive interventions.

The presentation will review existing approaches and available policy options to improve access to health care services and financial protection against health shocks for informal-sector workers (ISWs). Findings from some country cases based on published and unpublished reports and on structured interviews of expert informants will be discussed. The ISWs are typically left behind and have been referred to as “the missing middle.” They find themselves financially unprotected against health shocks and with limited access to quality and timely health care. ISWs are generally reluctant to enroll in insurance schemes, including social health insurance (SHI), community insurance, and other arrangements. Further, initiatives to enroll them in self-financed contributory schemes have generally resulted in adverse selection, as those with high anticipated health needs are more willing to pay and enroll than others, thus threatening the schemes’ financial viability. Successful initiatives to cover this population group are the ones where government has abandoned its expectations to derive relatively substantial revenue from it. Offering this group a benefits package that is relatively smaller than that of formal workers and charging them a premium that is only a fraction of that charged to formal workers is a strategy used by some countries to limit the need for public subsidies. Switching from SHI to a tax -financed system is an alternative strategy adopted by others. While there is evidence that greater insurance coverage has improved access to health services for ISWs and their dependents, in several countries it has not yet improved financial protection for this target group. A broad set of reforms will be required to strengthen the supply side to ensure that additional public financing translates into improved coverage for ISWs. Finally, large and sustained economic growth is indispensable to achieve UHC, as it creates the public resources to subsidize coverage for the poor and ISWs.

The healthcare sector faces major challenges resulting in inefficiencies and ineffective delivery of quality healthcare. . This is manifested in the dissatisfaction of many stakeholders, especially patients. Dissatisfaction among stakeholders in hospital performance signals the need for change. One step at reforming healthcare service delivery is to create autonomous, accountable and well-governed hospitals capable of taking evidenced-based decisions to deliver patient-centered and quality care, while also positively interacting with their complex stakeholder environment. Corporate governance frameworks propose structural reform principles leading to autonomy and accountability. The adoption of such principles within the hospital setting has the potential to increase the level of efficiency by which hospitals deliver health care, make decisions, and competitively enhance their overall performance. The Healthcare Governance and Transparency Association (HeGTA) supported by Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) developed a Guide: Principles and Guidelines of Governance in Hospitals, with the aim of introducing practitioners to a framework for addressing governance challenges in Egypt’s hospitals. Launched in Egypt in March 2014, the guide sets a milestone towards well-governed hospitals by bridging the gap between theory and practice whilst refraining from quick fixes. The Guide interlinks five different domains: corporate governance and clinical governance; board excellence; control, audit and risk frameworks; sustainability and inclusiveness; and transparency and disclosure, under one umbrella.

Dr. Mostafa Hunter, Lead Founder and Chairman of HeGTA and Lead Author of the Guide will share his insights on key principles for improving governance in hospitals to achieve effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services.

The Role of Research & Technology Institutes

In the last two decades, effectual entrepreneurship, a cognitive-theoretic approach to action in high-uncertainty environments, has been successfully implemented in universities around the world. This approach spells out particular lessons learned by expert entrepreneurs that can be taught in a classroom. In addition to university courses, efforts are under way to create programs for K-12 and in fields outside business, such as the arts, engineering, and social/public sector. For the webinar, Dr. Sarasvathy will elaborate on five specific policy implications based on effectual entrepreneurship. These can be summarized as follows: 
Teach entrepreneurship to everyone, not only to potential entrepreneurs
Collect data on exits
Focus on growing the middle class of businesses, not gazelles
Create an experienced entrepreneur corps of mentors
Learn to think about employment differently
Put simply, effectuation enables anyone and everyone to work with things already within their control to co-create a better future. For info on course content and supporting research: effectuation.org

Lessons from Expert Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurship Policy Makers

While climate change represents a massive threat to the planet and imperils progress made in economic development, it also represents an historic opportunity to innovate in large and rapidly growing markets. The World Bank estimates that climate-related sectors will garner $6.4 trillion in investment over the next decade in developing countries alone. The urgency for climate technology innovation is growing as the effects of climate change becomes a reality and more actions are implemented to address it. 

During this webinar, Jonathan Coony will discuss where the opportunities lie and what is creating them, how innovation in climate technology can be approached given the different sectors involved and the global scope of this issue. He will draw on country case studies to discuss approaches that are taken to create the needed innovation and examines new directions to develop useful and appropriate innovations that are needed to overcome the challenges of climate change.

Green Competitiveness

Historically, Schumpeterian developmental agencies at the periphery of the public sector have facilitated rapid restructuring by engaging in continuous, radical policy experimentation. During this presentation, Dr. Breznitz will argue that these development agencies are less likely to emerge in an increasing politicized environment. Endowing agencies with the authority and resources to administer cutting edge programs enables them to positively influence public and private sector routines, but reduces the likelihood that they develop transformative new initiatives. By contrast, reducing an agency’s profile and resources to the point where it has the flexibility to develop radically new ideas risks marginalizing it within national policy debates.

After briefly reviewing the history of the Finnish National Fund for Research and Development and the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist, Dr. Breznitz will focus on the performance of three newly established innovation agencies, Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovative Systems (VINNOVA) and Ireland’s Policy Advisory Board for Enterprise and Science (Forfás).

Two critical challenges for countries affected by fragility, conflict and violence (FCV) are creating sustainable peace and constructing a path for growth. Often functioning with limited capacity, these countries possess unique characteristics to produce and enforce infrastructure regulation. In order to develop effective governance and regulatory systems in countries affected by FCV it is important to consider how their specific goals, instruments, and institutional arrangements differ from those of more developed countries.

To assist practitioners to be able to both develop much needed infrastructure and develop a viable regulatory system, the Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) partnered with the University of Florida’s Public Utility Research Center to develop an updated Body of Knowledge on Infrastructure Regulation (BoKIR) that provides updated FAQs, a self-assessment tool, and a maturity taxonomy for practitioners who are developing and implementing infrastructure solutions. This webinar will introduce the portal, summarize its key content, and demonstrate its tools, including showing results from countries that have engaged with the self-assessment. This webinar will also feature an interview with experienced practitioners in the field of infrastructure service delivery

Improving Infrastructure Regulation for Low-Income, Fragile and Low-Capacity Countries

Virginia began its experience with Public-Private Partnerships by passing the Virginia Public-Private Transportation Act (PPTA) of 1995, which provided the legal framework for PPPs in the transportation sector. In 2002, the Virginia legislature passed the Public-Private Educational Facilities & Infrastructure Act (PPEA) to expand the possibility of PPP procurement outside the transportation sector. The Commonwealth has had a dedicated PPP organization within the state government since 2005, the current form of which is the Virginia Office of Public-Private Partnerships (VAP3). Virginia’s approach to PPP was codified in the publication of its PPTA Implementation Manuel and Guidelines in 2005. Updates, tools, and supplemental material have been developed since then, and the PPEA Implementation Manual and Guidelines was released in 2015.

Virginia has successfully implemented major PPP projects over the past decade, including a Design-Build-Operate-Maintain contract for the Capital Beltway Express Lanes, the Downtown/Midtown Tunnel/Martin Luther King Boulevard Extension in Hampton Roads, and the Interstate 95 express lanes in 2012. Currently, VAP3 is finalizing a contract for the Interstate 66 Outside the Beltway project.

Virginia’s PPP selection process occurs in three phases: Project Identification, Project Screening, and Project Development. Solicited projects and unsolicited proposals are entertained during Project Identification. Project Screening is a two-part, high-level analysis: High-Level Screening/Policy Review and Detail-Level Screening. If proposals continue to Project Development, they will be subjected to value-for-money and risk analysis.

This webinar will seek to expand upon Virginia’s PPP selection process, especially in identification and screening. The webinar will also discuss how Virginia’s experience works within the U.S. federal, state, and local infrastructure, and how applicable this experience can be for developing economies.

Virginia P3: How Proposals Are Identified and Screened for PPP Development

Some countries and regions were successful in reviving their infrastructure project finance markets in 2015 compared with the previous year, others less so. Overall, there was a slight rise in volumes, with the transport and renewables sectors leading. In 2016, the trend so far has been toward lower volumes and fewer closed deals. This webinar will look at the current trends in infrastructure project finance in major regions of the world from the perspective of the lender.

Infrastructure Project Finance in 2016

The Republic of Korea has a long history of PPP. Its early experience consisted of individual legislation for specific projects. In 1994, the government began to formalize its process with the passing of the Act for the Promotion of Private Capital Investment in Social Overhead Capital, which provided the legal framework for the broader use of PPP. The legislation was revised in 1999 to produce the Act for Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure, which provided for the establishment of a PPP unit. The Korea Development Institute’s Public and Private Investment Management Center (PIMAC) currently serves as Korea’s PPP unit. From 1994 to 2015, the country implemented 684 PPP projects.

PIMAC is authorized to conduct prefeasibility studies for publicly financed projects with a total project cost of at least W50 billion, where W30 billion or more is subsidized by the State. Under the PPP legal and institutional framework, PIMAC screens and appraises PPP projects during the selection process. Solicited projects costing W200 billion or more for build-transfer-operate projects, or at least W100 billion for build-transfer-lease projects, and all unsolicited proposals are subject to analysis by PIMAC.

In Korea, potential PPP projects are identified by line ministries, or the private sector in the case of unsolicited proposals. As part of the feasibility assessment, projects (publicly financed and PPP) are subject to the Analytic Hierarchy Process, which includes economic, policy, and balanced regional development analyses. Following this process, projects go through project appraisal, where qualitative and quantitative (including value-for-money) analyses occur. If a project successfully completes this process, PIMAC will recommend it for procurement as a PPP.

Unified Framework for Feasibility Assessment: Republic of Korea

The Netherlands has a rich history of private participation in the development of its public infrastructure, dating back to the country’s beginnings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, the idea of formalized PPP immigrated to the Dutch political establishment in the 1980s from the United Kingdom’s experimentation with private finance initiatives. As a solution to the country’s budgetary woes, the Dutch government attempted PPP for a couple of tunnel projects at the end of the decade. Unfortunately, these projects experienced cost overruns and unpopularity, and the idea was abandoned for future projects until the late 1990s.

In 1999, the Ministry of Finance established the PPP Knowledge Centre, which drove much of the policy discussion on PPP until 2006. In 2004, the European Commission published a Green Paper on Public-Private Partnerships and Community Law on Public Contracts and Concessions. This paper currently serves as the legal guidance for Dutch PPP, and served as a catalyst for additional PPP development in the Netherlands. In 2006, the Ministry of Transport, Public Works, and Water Management started a PPP unit, beginning a rigorous campaign for PPP development. The success of this unit was followed shortly thereafter by the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning, and the Environment developing its own PPP unit, and later by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality. Cooperation between these three units led to the fast development of the Netherland PPP market and best practices, including standardized contracts, uniform reporting to Parliament, and standardized risk matrixes. This work precipitated project responsibility to fall to the executing ministry, with essential framework developments from the Ministry of Finance.

The Netherlands has developed its PPP selection process over the past decade, paying special attention to streamlining and publicizing the process to attract potential investors. The idea of creating an efficient and expeditious process was developed from the necessity to attract the private partners drawn to the larger PPP markets in France and the United Kingdom. This is also why the Netherlands only procures Design-Build-Finance-(Operate)-Maintain PPP projects. The Netherlands developed a small but dedicated group of civil servants, fostered by PwC, to create an enabling PPP environment. The Dutch approach to PPP selection is encompassed in three main analyses: Market Scan, Public-Private Comparator, and Public Sector Comparator.

Bradley laughed at the dark irony. For the last 30 years, he justified his growing addiction with the shallow, comforting thought. “I might be an alcoholic. But no matter how bad it gets, I won’t be living in a tent or under a bridge.” But he was wrong. Walking out of the hotel with just a few dollars to his name, Bradley tried to push aside the shock of what had happened. After years of barely holding it together, he’d just lost his job, his last hold on a normal life. He walked out into the cold, feeling broken and alone, with nothing but a coat. He was homeless.
