The workshop was titled, “Building sustainable research infrastructures in Africa: Exploring public-private partnerships (PPPs).” The premise behind this convening was that research infrastructures (both physical and virtual) are a critical cog in the development puzzle on the continent. Government and private sector synergies can enhance investment in infrastructure and catalyse development on the continent. The conversation on how we can sustainably fund research infrastructures also directly built on discussions we started with several multi-sectoral stakeholders at the IOI workshop in Accra, Ghana, earlier this year. One of the major takeaways from that conversation was that exploring alternate funding mechanisms is essential to the growth of research on the continent...."</p>

The 2023 GPT, the 11th edition of the index, bridges the gap between an increasing need for philanthropy and the lack of knowledge about the scope of cross-border giving. Findings presented in this report are based on philanthropic outflows from 47 countries in 2020, or the most recently available year, as well as three externally tracked resource flows: official development assistance (ODA), remittances, and private capital investment (PCI). By reporting on these flows, the GPT demonstrates how civil societies, governments, businesses, and individuals collaborate to address societal issues around the globe. ..."</p>

The culture and practice within philanthropy in Africa and East Africa in specific is oriented towards trust. Communities interact better with philanthropy when they feel a sense of trust towards stakeholders in the sector. Delegating autonomy over how funds are distributed to a community recognizes that the community knows better than the donors and what is in their best interest. The views of grantees are often crucial for defining the problem to be solved and understanding its causes and analyzing all possible approaches to solving it...."</p>

Technology, Start-Ups Turn to Bigger Rivals for Help - The New York Times, July 5, 2023<p>"...The tech giants are in a strong position because they have the vast resources needed to push these systems further than anyone else. Google also holds a patent on the Transformer, the foundational technology behind the A.I. systems that Cohere and many other companies are building.</p>
<p>But there is a wild card: Open source software. Meta, another giant with the computing power needed to build the next wave of A.I., recently open sourced its latest large language model, meaning anyone can reuse it and build on top of it. Many in the field believe this kind of freely available software will allow anyone to compete. “Having the collective minds of every researchers on Earth would beat any company,” said Amr Awadallah, chief executive of the A.I. start-up Vectara and a former Google executive. But they’ll still need to pay for access to a much larger competitor’s data centers."</p>

In economics, an inflection point can be considered as a dramatic, drastic, and systemic event leading to synchronised economic decline. Typically, a real-life inflection point requires ingenuity and innovative thinking to cope, transform, or respond. The diverse responses to the global and regional crises illustrated several inflection points with real and long-lasting impacts on society. Considering the strides that philanthropy has made in providing and enabling solutions to crises, the sector is at an inflection point with a real task to respond, cope and shape or influence the future.</p>

Kramer | Wellesley Centers for Women, February 02, 2023<p>"...As someone who has been involved in researching both nonprofit and for-profit board diversity since 2005, I know how difficult it is to secure reliable data. In a 2020 Women Change Worlds blog post, I wrote about Increasing Gender Diversity on the Boards of Nonprofit Eds and Meds: Why and How to Do It, a national report I co-authored and WNLI co-published. In 2019 WNLI partnered with La Salle University’s Nonprofit Center in publishing a report on the Philadelphia area’s largest eds and meds that showed the underrepresentation of women, particularly women of color, on these boards. In early November 2022, our two organizations published a new report, Closing the Gaps: Gender and Race in Nonprofit Boardrooms. The report found that some progress has been made, but that gender and racial gaps still exist in too many boardrooms, and board chairs are still predominantly white males...."</p>

<p>We propose that the IRS modify Form 990 by including a question to require disclosure of how board members in the aggregate self-identify by race/ethnicity and gender. Such a question could be added to either Part VI, Section A: Governing Body and Management, or Part VII, Section A: Officers, Directors, Trustees, etc. While our proposal focuses on gender and race/ethnicity since that has been the subject of most research on the value of board diversity, we would support including LGBTQ+ and disability disclosure as well.</p>
<p>The signatories are prominent national and regional organizations and individuals in these and other categories: good governance, leadership for women and people of color, higher education, health care, philanthropy, law, business, and consulting.</p>
<p>We believe that making such data available, along with data the Form 990 already provides to the public and the nonprofits’ numerous stakeholders, will help advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, encourage transparency, and – most importantly – enhance the governance of all affected organizations...."</p>

Don't Just Spout Statistics, Tell Stories | HBS Working Knowledge, 20 JUN 2023<p>"...Using a series of controlled experiments, the researchers looked at how quickly the effect of different types of information on beliefs fades over time. While the effect of a story faded by roughly a third over the course of a single day, for a statistic, the temporal decay was a much more dramatic 73 percent. The difficulty in recall, in turn, stems not from loss of memory, per se. Instead, it has to do with conflicts with other similar memories that wind up blocking efforts to recall the specific piece of information or story, the study finds. Stories have a longer lifespan in memory not because of any different methods, compared to statistics, of being stored in the brain, but because they are more likely to include distinctive details or context that aid recall. By contrast, statistics and numbers, being abstract concepts, can be harder for the human mind to recall..."</p>

Among those attending the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact will be Li Qiang, the Chinese premier, Janet Yellen, America’s treasury secretary, and no fewer than 16 African presidents.</p>
<p>Africa’s large presence reflects a fear that the continent is being short-changed as priorities shift towards helping Ukraine and dealing with climate change. That is feeding a deeper anger—that the continent has too little say in global institutions such as the World Bank, imf and un, and that some of the proposed reforms could again leave Africa out in the cold. “When decision-makers are quite far from the realities of the country it’s more difficult to build empathy,” says Vera Daves, Angola’s finance minister. “That’s why it so important for us [Africans] to be more present within the institutions.”</p>
<p>Much of the work these institutions do is in Africa, where they are trying to reduce poverty (the continent has more than half the world’s poor), right listing economies, end civil conflicts and help refugees. But African leaders are alarmed by an impending plunge in cheap financing from the International Development Association (ida), the concessional arm of the World Bank. When covid-19 struck, the ida raised additional funds and stepped up its support for poor countries. In the past year it has committed perhaps $37bn around the world, up from almost $22bn in 2019. But this depleted its larder, and its commitments will probably be about $10bn lower in each of the next two years.</p>
<p>The cuts will happen even as African countries are being squeezed by higher food and fuel prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and by rising international interest rates. They want the ida’s funds refilled ahead of its next scheduled replenishment in 2025 rather than see it cut back financing. Yet donors are reluctant to hand over more cash. Axel van Trotsenburg, the World Bank’s senior managing director, points out that overall funding has risen, “particularly in Africa”...."</p>

<p>Since 2006, users have had unlimited access to the social media platform’s application programming interface, or API — allowing researchers to extract and analyze data that provided critical insights into the website’s role in election meddling and the spread of disinformation, as well as to gather and synthesize photographic and video evidence that could be used to indict potential war criminals in international tribunals.</p>
<p>Twitter announced in April that access to the API will now require a paid subscription, with those most useful to researchers ranging from $42,000 to $210,000 per month. The change has left many policy shops, NGOs, independent researchers and students without access...."</p>

What’s stopping your government? | Oommen C Kurian | The Guardian, 19 June 2023<p>"Digital poverty and exclusion hide in plain sight. In an era of hyper-connectivity, millions are left in the shadows, even in the wealthiest countries. Data from the US shows that a quarter of America’s rural population, a staggering 14.5 million people, still don’t have access to broadband. In a world where billions are connected, the stark reality of this absence looms large, leaving more than 3 billion people on the margins of the digital age. As life moves online, it only exacerbates existing inequalities, limiting access to education, healthcare, job opportunities and essential services. This takes us to Kerala in south India, home to about 34 million people. There, the communist-led state government is launching something called the Kerala Fibre Optical Network (KFON) – and it’s a major milestone. (It is worth noting the irony that the communist government, which has a history of opposing the introduction of computers, is now at the forefront of this digital initiative.) In 2016, the state recognised the internet as a basic citizen’s right, joining other polities like Finland, Costa Rica and France. Next on the agenda: making this new right mean something. Despite facing various setbacks – such as the pandemic and a corruption allegation that led to the arrest of the senior bureaucrat who was previously in charge of KFON (he denies the allegation) – the project has finally been launched. It’s a fibre-optic broadband network project, aiming to provide affordable and reliable internet connectivity to every household, government institution and business entity in the state...."</p>

Christian Lindner, Germany’s pro-market finance minister, recently said there was no money in the budget to meet Intel’s demands for an extra €3bn or so in state aid to close a “cost gap” caused by the higher prices of energy and construction....Does the subsidy make sense for Intel? The firm needs a fillip. In recent years it has fallen behind rivals such as tsmc of Taiwan and Samsung of South Korea in cutting-edge technology.
