Addressing Racially Biased Financial Analysis: Why Color-blind Financial Analysis Is Racially Biased, and What Funders Can Do About It.

Addressing Racially Biased Financial Analysis: Why Color-blind Financial Analysis Is Racially Biased, and What Funders Can Do About It.

2019-10-25

Nonprofit Finance Fund;

Many social-sector funders that are committed to addressing racial equity don't understand how their own practices exacerbate injustice. Common approaches to evaluating a nonprofit's financial fitness – and "readiness" for a grant or loan – unwittingly reinforce divides; nonprofits that have money have an easier time getting more, and nonprofits that don't – and the communities that rely on them – lose out. This chart offers a look at what's wrong, and specific actions we can take to more accurately understand a nonprofit's strengths and opportunities.

Advancing Human Rights Annual Review of Global Foundation Grantmaking: 2015 Key Findings

Advancing Human Rights Annual Review of Global Foundation Grantmaking: 2015 Key Findings

2019-09-01

Candid;

In 2015, familiar threats to human rights and human rights philanthropy continued. As conflicts persisted in countries like Syria, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic, the number of refugees fleeing violence and hunger soared. Extremist groups perpetrated mass violence from Nigeria and Egypt, to Kenya and France, including the targeted killing of staff from the French magazine Charlie Hedbo. Threats to closing civic space intensified as more countries adopted laws targeting and restricting organizations that work to hold governments accountable, including the funders that back them, often under the pretext of counterterrorism. Despite these many concerns, we saw inspiring advances for human rights around the world across a range of issues. Women in Saudi Arabia voted and stood for election for the very first time, and the governments of the Gambia and Nigeria outlawed female genital mutilation. The Supreme Court in the United States legalized same sex marriage, while the Irish people did so through a historic popular vote. Cuba and the U.S. restored diplomatic ties after more than five decades, and Iran signed a deal to curb its nuclear program. At the end of the year, nearly 200 countries reached the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change to mitigate global warming. Against this backdrop, in 2015 foundations allocated a total of $2.4 billion in support of human rights.

"Headwinds to Growth": The IMF Program in Ecuador

"Headwinds to Growth": The IMF Program in Ecuador

2019-07-15

Center for Economic and Policy Research;

This report examines Ecuador's March 2019 agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and finds that Ecuador is likely to have lower GDP per capita, higher unemployment, and increased macroeconomic instability under the program. Even the program itself, the authors note, projects Ecuador to have a recession this year and increased unemployment for each of the first three years of the program. But these projections are optimistic, the report concludes.

Building Youth Life Skills: 8 Tips for Practitioners

Building Youth Life Skills: 8 Tips for Practitioners

2019-06-27

Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.;

There is growing recognition that youth need more than academic knowledge to transition successfully into employment and adulthood (Dupuy et al. 2018). They also need "life skills," a set of cognitive, personal, and interpersonal strengths that position them for success in their lives and livelihoods. Life skills can enhance young people's agency and resilience, improve their psychosocial well-being, and predict a range of long-term outcomes, including health, job performance, and wages (Kwauk et al. 2018; OECD 2018, Kautz et al. 2014). The Partnership to Strengthen Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education (PSIPSE), a donor collaborative, has invested in 18 projects to strengthen life skills in young people. This brief offers eight lessons based on the experiences of these projects—on the design, delivery, measurement, and scale-up of youth life skills programming in lowand middle-income countries (LMICs).

Building Youth Life Skills: 6 Lessons for Government Officials

Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.;

There is growing recognition that youth need more than academic knowledge and technical expertise to transition successfully into employment and adulthood (Dupuy et al. 2018). They also need "life skills," a set of cognitive, personal, and interpersonal strengths that position them for success in their lives and livelihoods. Life skills can enhance young people's agency and resilience, improve their psychosocial well-being, and predict a range of long-term outcomes, including health, job performance, and wages (Kwauk et al. 2018; OECD 2018; Kautz et al. 2014). The Partnership to Strengthen Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education (PSIPSE), a donor collaborative, has invested in 18 projects that focus on developing life skills among youth (see left). Mathematica, the PSIPSE's learning partner, recently conducted an in-depth study of these projects. The study used interviews with implementing organizations, an extensive review of project documents and evaluation reports, and high-level literature and landscape scans to examine project experiences, set them in context, and draw out lessons for a range of stakeholders. This brief summarizes the lessons for government officials—on how to successfully devise, roll out, scale, and strengthen life skills policies for youth in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).

European Chronic Disease Alliance (ECDA);

A joint paper by the European Chronic Disease Alliance (ECDA), the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) and the NCD Alliance calls for the creation of an EU Strategic Framework for the Prevention of NCDs towards 2030.Indeed, with epidemic levels of NCDs undermining people's well-being, healthcare systems, and Europe's economic and social prosperity, they consider that preventing chronic diseases should be a main priority for the European Commission.Therefore, the paper proposes principles, priorities and actions for such an EU strategic framework, setting out a roadmap for policy-makers to make change happen.

Working Toward a Healthy Vietnam: Key Policy Messages From the VASS-SSRC Project

2019-04-08

Social Science Research Council (SSRC);

This brief provides key policy messages based on a large-scale longitudinal study from 2008 to 2016 in twelve communes in three Vietnamese provinces by the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences (VASS) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). The project's objective was to understand household health practices and health-seeking behavior in Viet Nam, especially among economically and socially disadvantaged groups. Key findings highlight the main areas where donors and the government will need to focus in the coming years in order to improve and reduce disparities in health outcomes. These recommendations include: Increasing the use and effectiveness of commune health centers (CHCs) Improving antenatal care and utilization Helping CHCs implement preventive health care and essential disease control programs
